On March 18, 2026, Lucki announced the release date of his new album would be May 15.[ 10] The album name, Drugs R Bad , is a nod to anti-drug slogans from the War on drugs .[ 11]
According to Olivier Lafontant of Pitchfork , Dr*gs R Bad received a score of 6.8 out of 10. Writing how the project has its moments, but is still flawed. Lafontant concludes that Lucki is evolving and becoming more successful, but in the process, he's losing some of the humility, curiosity, and emotional honesty that made his earlier work resonate.[ 12] AllMusic's staff rated the album a 2.5 out of 5.[ 9]
Dr*gs R Bad debuted at #9 on the Billboard 200 , earning a total of 51,000 album equivalent units within its first week. It marks as Lucki's first top ten placement on the Billboard 200 chart.[ 13] [ 8]
