Room 25 is the debut studio album[4] by American hip hop recording artist Noname. Recorded in about a month's time, the album chronicles the two years since the release of Noname's debut mixtape Telefone, most notably her move from Chicago to Los Angeles and an intense, short-lived romantic relationship.[2][5]

Room 25 was entirely produced by Phoelix, who previously worked as a producer on Telefone. It features guest appearances by Ravyn Lenae, Smino, Saba, and Phoelix among others. The album was self-released through digital services on September 14, 2018.[1] The album was met with universal acclaim from music critics,[6] including veteran critic Robert Christgau, who later named it the fifth-best album of the 2010s.[7]
