With over eight years in the game, LUCKI has developed a devoted fanbase with help from his hypnotic rhymes and distinctive croak. Filled with the honesty that makes him so special, LUCKI announces WAKEUPLUCKI!, his new project. While LUCKI takes the lead when it comes to vocals, the album is produced entirely by F1LTHY from the Philly-based producer collective, WORKING ON DYING, known for producing hits from Playboi Carti’s Whole Lotta Red, as well as singles for JuiceWrld, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, and more. Soon to be available for pre-order/pre-save, WAKEUPLUCKI! arrives in the coming weeks via EMPIRE.
Along with the WAKEUPLUCKI! announcement, LUCKI shares, “NEPTUNE VS. INDUSTRY,” the first single off the album. The track is characterized by the Chicago rapper’s typical laid-back flow atop F1LTHY’s booming 808’s, while he takes time to reflect on his unique relationship with the hip-hop industry. Trying to confront his emotional unavailability, LUCKI thinks out loud, rapping: “Want my heart but it’s all in the puzzle / She’s so pretty but it felt like trouble / Body a ten and I’m still seeing double.”
LUCKI’s Spring 2021 double-single Almost Woke featured “LifestyleBrazy” and “No Joke,” with the former racking up over 1 million streams on Spotify. Prior to the two pack, LUCKI dropped the Lyrical Lemonade-approved banger, “Greed” featuring Lil Yachty. Since these three tracks were gifted to the public, LUCKI has kept himself busy, playing his soulful catalogue at major music festivals across the U.S. including Summer Smash in Chicago and Rolling Loud in New York. LUCKI took a step forward in his career by embarking on two headlining tours alone in 2021, the “Almost There Tour” and the “Wake Up Lucki Tour,” the latter finishing up with a hometown show in Chicago on November 27. Ahead of his WAKEUPLUCKI! release, LUCKI will conclude his live shows with a performance at Rolling Loud California, giving anyone who missed his tour a chance to see him before the end of the year.
With WAKEUPLUCKI!, LUCKI shows that he’s ready to impress the masses by showing the world his most complete artistic statement yet.
