Kojey Radical takes to his Instagram to share the track list for his upcoming project Reason To Smile. With 5 weeks to go till the release of the 29-year-old east Londoners releases his debut album and shares a number of star-studded features.
The multi-genre artist posted a video on his Instagram with the caption “Reason To Smile comes out in 5 weeks It’s time to start giving you guys a little taster of the album… What song do you wanna hear?”.
The video posted by Kojey showed the tracks on his upcoming project, which will have 14 tracks and will feature 11 artists across 9 of the tracks. While the track list has been posted but it is in no particular order, so fans will still be unsure of how it will run.
Kojey features solely on 5 of the tracks with the titles of these tracks being, “Nappy”, “Pusher Man: BWI”, “Fubu”, “Gangsta” and “Together”. With these tracks being the only ones Kojey is on by himself, and given his ability to move from genre to genre and perform RnB, indie, rap and soul, it is impossible for fans to guess how he will come across on these tracks.
The remaining 9 tracks all contain features, with Kojey choosing an eclectic roster of artists to perform alongside. The already released featured track is “Payback” featuring Knucks, which has received a great reception, with over 120 thousand views on Youtube and 345 thousand streams on Spotify 10 days after release. The remaining tracks are “Reason to Smile” featuring grammy nominated jazz/neo-soul artist Tiana Major9, who also features on the track “Talkin” alongside Kojey and legendary pop sensation Kelis. As well as Knucks, a number of other UK rappers will feature on the project, including Jamaican Brit Cashh on “Born”, as well as Wretch 32 and UK RnB singer Shakka on the track “Beautiful”. The impressive feature list continues with a number of vocal superstars, including American singer Masego featuring on the track “Silk”, Nigerian born singer Shae Universe on “Pressure”, south London jazz sensation Ego Ella May on the track “Anywhere” and American singer/rapper Rexx Life Raj on the track “Solo”.
