This Friday (July 14), Lil Tjay will unveil his third studio LP, 222, which will contain 15 tracks and additional features from Summer Walker, The Kid LAROI, Fivio Foreign, Jadakiss, Polo G, and Coco Jones, and YoungBoy Never Broke Again, the last of whom appears on the single “Project Walls.” Rvssian, SephGotTheWaves, EMRLD Beats, K Hendrix, and more were tapped for the album’s production.
To get fans ready, the Bronx talent liberated a short trailer on Monday (July 10) that’s centered around one of the darker moments of his life — an attempted robbery-turned-shooting that took place in 2022 and left him in critical condition. Viewers can see a loose reenactment of what took place and its aftermath in the roughly one-minute clip.
During a recent sit-down with the “Million Dollaz Worth Of Game” podcast, Tjay opened up about why he chose the title 222 for his forthcoming effort.
“My first album is True 2 Myself. The second one is Destined 2 Win. They both got 2s in it, and this my third,” he said. “Also, I got airlifted into the sky, like a helicopter pulled me up in the air. I seen the footage, and they’re like, ‘We’re taking off,’ and the time was 2:22. So I felt like that was another reason. And it’s an angel number.”
He continued by explaining the album’s content. “Basically, the vibe or the aesthetic of the project is me overcoming the streets, relating to people that’s in the streets right now, and just speaking my story,” he explained.
