| Yung Blaza's EP "No Pressure" is available now! |
He released a 14-song EP Thursday, May 22, with the most creative, effortless songs of his career.
The EP's title is “No Pressure,” which perfectly describes his whirlwind life of women, weed and stunting and a search for fulfillment and success. His mental battle over record deals and industry opportunities is expressed effortlessly in dark punch lines and sharp analogies. The album, from front to end, tells how Blaza keeps cool in some of the most stressful times in his life.
Blaza’s albums are historically diverse and unique, and fans can expect nothing less from this latest body of work.
The tape’s lineup includes club-bangers like “HowUGonAcK,” a four-minute twerk session for clubrats worldwide. The song, produced by 5 Star Beatz, was released exclusively on Yung Blaza’s website.
The EP leaves Blaza’s trail of conceit on flashy beats from some of the best commercial and underground producers in the music industry. You can gauge Blaza's mack side with “Sleep” featuring Wayne Draper, produced by I.D. Labs Beats, and “What She Like,” produced by Five Star Beats.
Purps from 808 Mafia, producer of Future’s “Karate Chop,” doctored Blaza’s “Won by Default.” Rapper Wale’s producer Flawless Tracks (Best Kept Secret) produced “MisMatch.” Both songs cater to those who got it like that. Leave your windows down while you run in the store on this one.
Despite his unique way to keep cool on most of “No Pressure,” Blaza makes clear his feelings about the music industry and the growing pains of life. The album centers on the idea that Blaza lives life with no pressure. His album features a song called “Beat the Odds,” where Blaza talks about his come up with music, and life in general, despite things that went sour in the past—Five Star Beats produced that song, as well.
His EP draws to an end with “Rap Game Stressful,” produced by D’Artizt, where he talks about past struggles with getting his music into the limelight.
Blaza described his inspiration behind "No Pressure":
“It's my favorite. To me it’s the most fun album. I titled it ‘No Pressure’ because my past mix tapes had themes and concepts and I had songs with themes and concepts and with this album, I just wanted to make songs that people wanted to hear. Life is stressful and I wanted to make something easy-going and boastful-like. I didn't wanted people to have to think about the concept or the lyrics. I didn’t want to worry about if people got my concept or lyrics. It's just a chill album for people to enjoy.”
“I feel like a lot of things are pressuring me in life, and music is pretty much my stress reliever. I am always putting everyday life in my music, and this is pretty much how I been feeling about life right now.”
Yung Blaza has performed a few times over the past few weeks, but fans heard little from him before he released the project. His laid-back approach definitely gives off the no pressure vibe, but fans worldwide are loving his heat!
