In the 13-track collection, Lil Duece nabs talented producers Don Cannon, Killa Cam, Romo, LowTheGreat, and DbThePlug to create a signature sound that’s sure to be the foundation for his success in the future. Features on the project include RJ, Jerry West, and Seddy Hendrix.

The theme for the cover art includes photos of Lil Duece’s friends who have unfortunately passed within the last 2 years. The word “pressured” is designed in a diamond blue to symbolize and promote the strength that according to the artist, we all should continue to have after going through hard times, similar to the characteristics of a diamond.

Lil Duece Plays A Laid-Back Performance Of ‘Outside (Tiny Yung Freestyle)’ On ‘UPROXX Sessions’

No, that’s not a typo. Today’s UPROXX Sessions guest Lil Duece really spells his name like that — which actually benefits him on searches. Today, the Inglewood native delivers a laid-back performance of his signature single “Outside (Tiny Yung Freestyle),” leaning heavily into his trademark LA-inflected flow over the track’s swinging, saxophone-laden instrumental.

Duece might not be a household name outside the confines of Los Angeles County, but in his hometown, he’s a rising star, turning in standout guest verses alongside fellow Angelenos like 1TakeQuan (the crewmate of another Sessions alum, 1TakeJay), 2 Eleven, Rucci, and Skeme, while songs like “Judo” and his June 2021 collaborative mixtape with Shoreline Mafia’s Rob Vicious have raised his profile in recent years. Meanwhile, the Lyrical Lemonade-approved “Outside,” with its region-agnostic production, has provided a near-perfect vehicle to carry his obviously deeply-rooted rap style and LA gang life references to the nation at large.

Watch Lil Duece perform “Outside (Tiny Yung Freestyle)” for UPROXX Sessions above.
