NIGO and Lil Uzi Vert are back with more heat.
More than six months after joining forces on an apparel collection, the multi-hyphenates return with their joint single “Heavy”—an AXL-produced track that will appear on NIGO’s sophomore album, I Know NIGO. The project will feature some of the biggest names in the game, including Kid Cudi; Pusha-T; ASAP Rocky; Tyler, the Creator; and Pharrell, who serves as the album’s co-executive producer.
During a January interview with Complex, Steven Victor revealed I Know NIGO began as a smaller project that eventually evolved into a full-length, star-studded album.
“Originally, it was supposed to be just Pharrell and maybe Pusha-T, but then I started reaching out to different people, and everyone was just like, ‘Yes!’” Victor said. “… It was just super organic how it all came about. I think he’s in his zone, where he’s going for everything right now. Human Made is going crazy, he just became the creative director of Kenzo. It’s just time, and music drives everything for him, so it makes sense that he’s in this particular space and making music.”
You can stream “Heavy” now on Apple Music and via Spotify below. I Know NIGO—the follow-up to 2000’s Shadow of the Ape Sounds—is expected to arrive March 25. NIGO also shared the pre-order link for a special edition CD version of I Know NIGO with cover art that was designed by KAWS. You can head here to purchase.
