Tyrese Tackles Civil and Social Unrest on New Single ‘Legendary’

Tyrese Tackles Civil and Social Unrest on New Single 'Legendary'

Tyrese returns with a new single that tackles the nation’s social unrest and the lives lost to police brutality. The new single is titled “Legendary” and features CeeLo Green.

The new song highlights the two Americas while capturing the motions of Black America. Tyrese’s rapping alter-ego, Black Ty, makes his presence felt on the single, which is all sewn together by CeeLo on the hook.

The new release is paired with a video directed by Deon Taylor, which captures the experiences that many are facing today. The short film lasts exactly eight minutes and 46 seconds, the amount of time Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin spent with his knee pressed into George Floyd’s neck.

“Legendary is powerful because the music and the video are meant to shift how we are seen,” Tyrese said of the new release. “We’re in the middle of a revolution. As Black people we are fighting two pandemics: COVID-19 and Systemic Racism. The video painfully underscores the plight of our community, while asserting that Black Lives Matter. As for the music? The proudest moment of my life is when attorney Benjamin Crump said ‘Legendary’ is the new anthem of the movement.”

“Legendary” comes before the release of another single “Black Excellence” featuring Rick Ross, scheduled to drop in October and a new album later this year.

You can hear the new single and see the video below.

Tyga Announces New LEGENDARY Album’s Already Gold Hours After Dropping

Tyga

West Coast rapper Tyga is feeling pretty golden right now. Hours after putting out new his Legendary project, the California native has announced it’s already gold.

Tyga went to Instagram Friday to break the news to followers.

In a new interview, Tyga kept it 100 on the fans’ new music needs ultimately forcing his LP release.

“I probably stated [recording the album] — I did ‘Taste’ a year ago — so it probably started after that and I really didn’t plan to have a whole album,” Tyga explained of his followup to 2018’s Kyoto. “I was just putting out singles, just putting out party vibes, and I was just recording as I went and people were like ‘We want an album! We want an album!’ So I was like it’s only right one year later, let me drop it for the summer.”  (“On Air With Ryan Seacrest”)

The California native also talked about his close-knit relationships with a few of his album guest features.

“Chris [Brown], I’ve been friends with for like 10 years now and … J Balvin, I’ve always been a fan of his so I kind of just reached out to him,” Tyga shared. “He was like, ‘Yo, man, everything you’re doing, man, congratulations! Your songs, like, let’s work!’ So I sent him … two songs … because I’ve never done a song with a Latin artist, like a collaboration like that, so I sent him another song that was more Latin and it actually didn’t make the album and he was like, ‘No, I want to get on the other one, man! That’s the party one! That’s the club one! I want to be in the club, man!’”  (“On Air With Ryan Seacrest”)

This week, West Coast producer Mustard revealed just how involved he is on Tyga’s latest solo album.
