Blxst has had a year of explosive audience growth and numerous 2021 awards & nominations (XXL Freshman 2021, Billboard’s Rising Star Award, BET Amplified Artist, Amazon Breakthrough Artist, 4 x BET Soul Train Award nominations). 2022 has kicked off with multiple collaboration releases so far with Murdabeatz & Wale, Pink Sweat$ and Young T & Bugsey.

“I’m sure everybody can relate, trying to balance being in the field while making sure home is happy but sometimes it ain’t as pretty as you want it to be.” – Blxst
“First time I linked up with Blxst was at this studio house in Malibu and we made this song the first night we met. Working with Blxst was hella easy, it was organic we’re both quick on the mic so it flowed. It was tight working with another young west coast singer, we boutta take over R.I.P. Nate Dogg.” – Zacari
