Collaboration and Feature Spotlight
Blxckie emphasized that the EP is a bridge to bigger things.
“Most of the producers I worked with were people I collaborated with when I went to America, recommended by my label, and it was really fun.
“K1llbrady is the only one I've featured on this project. He's a young guy that I believe in a lot and I wanted to use my platform to get him more attention and I knew he would really elevate the song that I had him on.”
Of the eight songs, Blxckie said: During the process.
“The song stands out sonically from the rest of the project and was written with the subject of mental health in mind, which is something I don't really talk about.”
With this EP, Blxckie hopes listeners will recognize his growth as an artist and as a person.
He added: “Hopefully people are excited for what's to come. Musically, we're working on our second album so that's probably the most important thing, but as we level up, I think there will definitely be more traveling and performing around the world.”
