A new Khalid project is on the way and the first teaser from the effort is here. Titled “Present,” the R&B crooner is getting ready to deliver his Scenic Drive EP and the features on there will be stacked. Ari Lennox, Lucky Daye, Majid Jordan, 6LACK, JID, Smino and more slated to show up on there and it will be the preview to the upcoming album.
Here’s what he told Zane Lowe in an interview on Apple Music.
“You know what, before I give people this album that is almost like a new reintroduction to who I am as a creative, I’m like, I want to go back to my basics and I want to make an R&B tape, EP, undecided on what it is because it birthed ‘Present’. There’s two projects. They’re related. They’re related but it’s like the more mature cousin. And then the album is like its own thing, it’s like this new born baby.
There’s eight songs and six of them are collaborations. I’m going to name them. Oh, we got Ari Lennox. We got Smino. We got JID. We got QUIN. We got 6lack. We got Lucky Daye. We got Kiana Ledé. We got Majid Jordan. Man. I hope I’m not forgetting anybody. I love that they are either R&B or hiphop oriented all of them… Because that’s, I mean, that’s what I listen to.”
