The album was initially slated for an October 17 release, but ever conscientious of his followers, Gumdrop pushed the release date forward by three days. Like an eager kid on Christmas morning, the rapper explained how he couldn’t wait to share the record any longer and this one, according to Gucci, was for the fans.
First, the Trap God booked out DJ Khaled’s Finga Licking restaurant in Miami for an impromptu listening and “fan appreciation” party:

Before then, sharing some further Twitter love:
I jus wanted to sh
ow the fans I appreciate them so that's why I dropped #WOPTOBER for free

Still, when something is billed as “free” in music, it’s probably best to exercise a degree of caution. For example, Chance the Rapper’s Coloring Book was billed as free, but only on the basis you were a paid-up member of Apple’s $14.99 per month Apple Music platform. Woptober, however, has been made available not only via paid channels but also Gucci’s official YouTube account:
