Just in time for the Spring, Young Dro comes back with yet another hit single to ride out to with brand new banger “Bassquiat” featuring London Jae.
Swagging over a symphony of orchestral strings, horns and percussion in a playful, start-and-stop flow, the Atlanta native takes listeners on an exotic escapade.
The creation of “Basqquiat” is inspired by the art of music, channeling the process Dro has gone through to head towards where he wants to be musically. This record demonstrates his versatility and growth in his love of music.
Both Dro and London were among T.I.’s Hustle Gang family invasion of the famous Stankonia Studios in Atlanta, for the Coalition DJ’s Music Monday(Apr. 10) event. For the meeting, T.I. came fully equipped with over 15 tracks from his upcoming anticipated album as well as hot singles from his label roster – Young Dro, Tokyo Jetz, RaRa, Yung Booke, Translee and London Jae.
In February during an interview with The Breakfast Club, T.I. announced his retirement to focus on the business aspect of his career and label.
“I’m ready to get the hell outta [the rap game], though,” he says. “I got this next album, I got three albums in my head I’ve already conceptualized. Once I get them out, I’m done.”
After that, T.I.P. reveals that his last three albums will consist of a trap music project, a love album, and then a final body of work called Kill the King.
“The next one is more like Trap Muzik. It’s Trap Muzik 2017,” T.I. said. “The one after that, it’s gonna be more like a love, as it pertains to a dope boy. And the one after that is my final album. It’s called Kill the King. Simply because, ever since my first album I put the title of ‘King of the South’ on me and to make yourself a king is to make yourself a target. In chess, the object is to kill the king, so Kill the King will be my final project. Will they kill him, or will he ride off into the sunset?”
