JayDaYoungan’s Posthumous “Forever 23 2x” Album Is Here

by

Last summer, JayDaYoungan tragically lost his life at 23 years old in the midst of a shooting. The hip-hop community was taken aback by the sudden and gruesome incident and has continued to keep the late lyricist in their thoughts and prayers ever since.

While he’s no longer here with us to share his musical creations himself, the Louisana native’s estate has been making sure his art gets into the hands of fans, just as Jay intended it would.

At the end of January, the “Opps” artist’s Instagram feed previously lit up with an exciting message. In that upload, it was chiefly promised that a posthumous album would be coming in February.

Today (February 3), the project finally made its debut. Titled Forever 23 2x, it consists of 16 new titles. The lone feature markedly comes from FG Famous on “Me & My Brudda.”

Aside from that collaborative effort, fans of JayDaYoungan will be undoubtedly happy to know that the other songs on the tracklist are comprised of his own work and clever lyricism.

As for production, names like JB Sauced Up, Heartbeatz, and Lako are among those who significantly crafted beats for Forever 23 2x.

After the album landed on streamers, another IG post went up to remind fans to stream. So far, several users have dubbed it a “no skips” release. Additionally, many others reminded DaYoungan in his heavenly home that they plan to “forever remember” him and his legacy.

Prior to his untimely passing, JDY made a name for himself with releases like his Scarred EP as well as “2 Lil N*ggas Uptown” with Lil Ivyjr and “Many Men” alongside Fredo Bang.

While we continue to mourn, make sure to stream JayDaYoungan’s posthumous Forever 23 2x album on Spotify or Apple Music below. Afterward, tell us your thoughts on the new project in the comments.

RIP.
