The Product III: State of Emergency (stylized as The Product III: stateofEMERGEncy) is the third studio album by American singer and songwriter August Alsina. It was released on June 26, 2020, through Shake the World, distributed by Empire. Production was handled by several record producers, including The Exclusives, Cardiak and DJ Mustard. It features guest appearances from Darrel Walls, Juicy J, Lil Wayne, Tink and Yo Gotti.[1]

The album debuted at number 48 on the US Billboard 200.

Background and release

In July 2019, the singer shared that he'd been privately battling health issues and had lost the ability to walk. "I have a liver disease where my autoimmune system is fighting against itself" August Alsina said. "Reality is I'm sick all the time. I'd really like to talk about it and I'm not looking for anybody's sympathy. Don't treat me like I'm a f*cking cancer patient, because I'm not."

The singer has shared bits of his recovery via social media, and fans speculated a return for his music after his recovery ended. Alsina has given his listeners brief snippets of music through videos and Instagram stories over 2019, and on June 26, 2020 he announced that he was set to drop his forthcoming project The Product III: State of Emergency the next friday.

The singer announced that the choice to make The Product III: State of Emergency a 27-track album came from the fact that it was inspired by Chris Brown's acclaimed 2017 album Heartbreak on a Full Moon, that inspired his third body of work for its length and for what the singer described as "the most honest and open songwriting possibile". The singer announced that the album highlights "his upbringing as a crack baby, losing his father and sister, and becoming the guardian for his three nieces", as well as his battle with the auto-immune disease that affected him.[2]
