Nigo Recruits Tyler The Creator, Pop Smoke, Clipse, ASAP Rocky, And More For ‘I Know Nigo’
For much of 2022, DJ and fashion designer Nigo has been gearing up to release I Know Nigo, his first album in more than 20 years. Nigo is best known as the founder of the clothing line A Bathing Ape, more commonly referred to as BAPE. He’s also a member of the Japanese hip hop group Teriyaki Boyz where he served as their in-house DJ since their 2005 debut. Nigo’s last solo album arrived in 1999 with Ape Sounds, and now, almost 23 years later, he’s just a few days away from dropping his second album.
I Know Nigo has been promoted with four strong singles from some of the industry’s biggest names. They include “Ayra” with ASAP Rocky, “Want It Bad” with Kid Cudi, “Hear Me Clearly” with Pusha T, and “Heavy” with Lil Uzi Vert. Now, just a few days until the March 25 release date for I Know Nigo, Nigo arrives with the project’s official tracklist. Through its 11 tracks, Nigo recruits Tyler The Creator, Pop Smoke, Clipse, Pharrell, Gunna, Teriyaki Boyz, ASAP Ferg, ASAP Rocky, Pusha T, Lil Uzi Vert, and Kid Cudi for I Know Nigo.

Lil Uzi Vert And Nigo Flex Their Collection Of Luxury Items On ‘Heavy’
Next week, DJ and fashion designer Nigo will release his first album in nearly two decades with I Know Nigo. The album is one that’s a bit of an anticipated effort thanks to its list of guest features, many of which have been revealed through the project’s singles. So far, we’ve received three records from the album: “Ayra” with ASAP Rocky, “Want It Bad” with Kid Cudi, and “Hear Me Clearly” with Pusha T. With just a week left until I Know Nigo arrives, Nigo delivers one last single for fans to enjoy.
For his latest release, Nigo calls on Lil Uzi Vert for their new single, “Heavy.” The track is an ode to the luxury bulky items that they own, whether it be cars, jewelry, or bag. Lil Uzi Vert glides with ease over the song’s drill production. In addition to the features from Rocky, Cudi, Pusha T, and Uzi, I Know Nigo is also set to carry additional appearances from Tyler The Creator, the Teriyaki Boyz, and more. The project will also be handled by Steven Victor who is Pusha T and the late Pop Smoke’s manager.
You can listen to “Heavy” in the video above.
