DREAMVILLE RECORDING ARTIST LUTE READIES NEW PROJECT
West 1996 Pt. 2 Available September 29
Lute: Still Slummin' Documentary Out Now
Dreamville/Interscope Records recording artist Lute will release West 1996 Pt.2 on September 29th at all digital retailers. The new project is the follow up to his first solo mixtape West 1996
which dropped in 2012. His mixtape success caught the ear of J. Cole
who later signed the rising rapper to Dreamville Records in 2015. The
Charlotte native also gives his fans a look into his life with the
release of Lute: Still Slummin' Documentary which can be seen HERE.
West 1996 Pt. 2 is a contemporary throwback featuring soulful production contributions from GRAMMY-winner Cam O’bi (“Ford’s Prayer” and “Premonition” feat. Earthgang), alongside Shiggy (“Home” feat. Elevator Jay and “Git Up’ feat. GQ Slaughter), Elite (“Ambitions”) and Save Allen (“Morning Shift“, “Crabs In A Barrel“ and “Livin’ Life” feat. High I’m Ry). The first single “Juggin’,” also produced by Save Allen, serves as a metaphor for how Lute has approached his 28 years on the planet.
“This
project is an accumulation of chapters and events leading up to
Dreamville signing me. It’s a window into the last five years of my
life…the obstacles, the challenges, the changes. It’s also motivation to
not let people or circumstances define who you are. My only competition
is the person I was yesterday. I've been patient and very appreciative
of this platform and now its time to show what I'm capable of,” comments
Lute.
You can check out the video for his new single “Juggin’,” directed by Anthony Supreme HERE.
