Laila's Wisdom is the second studio album by American rapper Rapsody, released on September 22, 2017, by Jamla Records and Roc Nation. It is Rapsody's first album released under her partnership with Roc Nation. The album features collaborations with Kendrick Lamar (who Rapsody previously worked with on Lamar's To Pimp a Butterfly), Anderson Paak, Busta Rhymes, Lance Skiiiwalker, Black Thought, BJ the Chicago Kid, and Musiq Soulchild, among others.
The album is Rapsody's first following her signing with Roc Nation in 2016, and follows her mixtape Crown (2016).
Rapsody has previously collaborated with several of the guests on the record, including Kendrick Lamar, who she collaborated with on the track "Complexion (A Zulu Love)" from Lamar's 2015 album To Pimp a Butterfly, which is credited with gaining Rapsody wider attention than she had had previously. Lamar also rapped on the track "Rock the Bells" from her 2011 mixtape For Everything. Rapsody also appeared on Anderson Paak's album Malibu, on "Without You". Paak also appeared on Crown.
In early September, Rapsody released "You Should Know" by Busta Rhymes as the first song from the album. In an Instagram post, Rhymes called the album "the best album I've heard not only from a female MC but in Hip hop period as well that I've personally had a chance to hear from top to bottom in it's entirety that I've probably in the last 10yrs [sic]".
The guest appearances for the album were revealed in a video featuring Rapsody in a mural surrounded by the guests that appear on the record.
