Lil Tjay – ‘Project Walls’
The 22 year old Bronx rapper released his third studio album, 222, on 14th July 2023. The album includes the single ‘Project Walls’, a collaboration with NBA YoungBoy. There are also guest appearances from Summer Walker (‘Stressed’), The Kid LAROI (‘2 Grown’), Fivio Foreign (‘Bla Bla’), Jadakiss (‘Hole in My Heart) and Polo G (‘Beat the Odds Pt 2’).
The Polo G track is a remix of Tjay’s 2022 single, ‘Beat the Odds’, which lends its name to the artist’s ongoing global tour. The song references an incident in New Jersey in June 2022 during which Tjay was shot seven times. Tjay released the original ‘Beat the Odds’ just two months after surviving the shooting.
