Karma 4 is the third studio album by American rapper Dave East. It was released on October 14, 2025, by From the Dirt. A deluxe edition was released on October 29, 2025. It is his first independent solo album since his departure from Def Jam Recordings.The album features notable guest appearances by Jacquees, Jeremih, Key Glock, Larry June, Maino, Mozzy, Nipsey Hussle, Rell, Stove God Cooks and Wiz Khalifa. The deluxe edition contains a guest appearance of Big Sean. Production was handled by various producers including Dave East himself, Harry Fraud, Mike & Keys and Nicholas Craven. It is the fourth installment in the Karma series, which began in 2017.

Background

On September 17, 2025, Dave East announces the future release of the album. The announcement was accompanied by the release of the lead single Havana. It followed East’s recent appearance on Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 3 stream, during which he also released a new freestyle and previewed a track featuring the late Nipsey Hussle that would appear on the album.

The album was positioned as both a continuation and evolution of the series, reflecting East’s growth and independence (described as his first official independent project under From The Dirt/FTD). Its artwork pays homage to Tupac Shakur’s iconic 1995 Vibe magazine cover shoot.

On October 29, 2025, a deluxe edition of the album was released with an exclusive new single entitled Man in the Mirror, which features Detroit rapper Big Sean.
