1UP is the sixth studio album by American rapper T-Pain, released on February 27, 2019. It is the follow-up to his 2017 album Oblivion.

Genasis, Russ, Profit Dinero, Tory Lanez and Flipp Dinero.[10]

Background and composition
T-Pain named the album after a term for an extra life in video games, saying on Beats 1: "I'm an avid gamer. I've been a gamer pretty much all my life. So I'm starting to implement gaming into my music and to my themes and stuff like that."[11] Spin said the album features T-Pain's "customarily lascivious crooning and rapping across 12 tracks."[9] The cover art for the album was created by Canadian artist Pencil Fingerz.
