Eiht Compton to Drop ‘Lessons 3’ in August on Birthday Eve

Bending Around The Sun Again

Veteran West Coast rapper Eiht Compton—known as @eiht0eiht on Instagram—kicked off the week with a celebratory message for fans. In a post shared on June 26, he wrote, “ANOTHER BEND AROUND THE SUN 2MORROW YA NIA CDAY GOOD LOOKIN ALL MY FAM, FRIENDS AND FANS OH GEAH LESSONS3 DROPPIN AUG.” The shout-out confirms that the artist’s birthday is just around the corner and teases the long-awaited release of his third installment in the Lessons series, slated for August.

Compton’s grateful tone resonated with followers who have tracked his career from underground mixtapes to mainstream collaborations. The caption underscores his appreciation for the support he’s received over the years—and his excitement about what’s next.

Lessons Iii Update

This isn’t Eiht Compton’s first hint about Lessons 3. Back in October, he posted on Instagram: “WE BACC AT IT LESSONS III DROPPIN THIS FALL ( THE CURTAIN CALL ) #RAPRETIREDLOL” (https://www.instagram.com/p/DE5xzIryGP1/). At that time, the rapper teased a fall release under the banner “The Curtain Call.” Now, it appears the project has been fast-tracked for an August debut, putting fans on notice that the wait is nearly over.

Lessons 3 follows the blueprint of its predecessors—raw lyricism, stories from Compton’s life in South Central Los Angeles, and sharp social observations. While he’s kept many details under wraps, the August timeline suggests a final track list, guest features and lead singles could arrive any day now. Industry insiders point to a potential rollout strategy that includes surprise digital singles and a possible listening event in Los Angeles.

Giving Back Offstage

Beyond music, Eiht Compton has been active in community initiatives, especially those connected to family. In a March post (https://www.instagram.com/p/DIOzAQlJFZx/), he urged followers to “ALL MY PEOPLES GO DONATE TO MY SON FOOTBALL PROGRAM APPRECIATE U ALL GEAH,” linking to a fundraising page for a youth football initiative. His support for that program highlights the rapper’s commitment to giving back and fostering opportunities for the next generation.

The Instagram feed also features snapshots from May’s AZ Smokeout festival in Phoenix, where Compton shared the stage with artists like Luniz, Spice 1 and Dr. Dre protégés. Festival goers praised his energetic set and nostalgic hits, proving his live performance remains a draw for longtime West Coast rap fans.

Looking Ahead

With his birthday on the horizon and Lessons 3 dropping soon, Eiht Compton stands at a pivotal moment. He’s balancing celebration with promotion—thanking fans for their years of support while building buzz for what could be his most comprehensive release yet.

Stay tuned for official release dates, single announcements and exclusive listening sessions. As @eiht0eiht puts it, “good lookin all my fam, friends and fans”—and this August, listeners will get to experience the next chapter of his musical journey.
