On May 10, 2026, Spencer made his Rolling Loud debut at Orlando, Florida.[6] On May 14, 2026, Spencer surprise-dropped his third mixtape, Protagonist (stylized in all caps).[7] Subsequently, Spencer announced The Protagonist Tour.[1] The Fader's Tobias Hess featured Spencer in a list of the "32 coolest artists of 2026 (so far)", writing: "[Bleood's] surprise release mixtape Protagonist has made him into one of the underground's main characters."[2] On June 12, 2026, Spencer made his debut at Summer Smash 2026.[8]
Influences and musical style
