Lil Tjay, the fast-rising American rapper, recently released his third studio album titled “222”. This album follows "Destined 2 Win", released in April 2021, which reached the top 5 of the charts. The album "222" is eagerly awaited, as it is expected that Tjay will express his feelings regarding the shooting he suffered in June 2022.
The album began to be teased in early 2022, following the release of "In My Head" in April of that year. However, the rollout of his EP "Strictly4MyFans" was halted after Lil Tjay was shot seven times in June 2022.
On June 22, 2023, Tjay released the album's lead single, "June 22nd", in which he details the night he was shot. On the same day, Tjay announced the album's official release date: "A year ago today, I almost lost my life but God has other plans. 'June 22nd' is out now and new album '222' will be released on July 14th! Thank you all for your support over the past year."
The album's title, "222", refers to the angel number which focuses on romantic and family relationships. The numbers have a deeper meaning because Tjay was hit, and almost lost his life, on June 22, 2022, when he was airlifted to the airport at exactly 2:22 a.m. Therefore, with the title, Tjay suggests that since God has allowed him to live, he wishes to focus on his relationships that would have been broken if he had died.
The album "222" features 15 tracks, including collaborations with Summer Walker, The Kid LAROI, Fivio Foreign, Jadakiss, YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Polo G. The album's lyrics are deep and touching, reflecting the personal experiences of Tjay and his outlook on life.
In conclusion, “222” is an exciting addition to Lil Tjay’s discography. The rapper's fans are eagerly waiting to see how he continues to evolve as an artist and push the boundaries of his music. Stay tuned for more information on “222” and other Lil Tjay releases.
