Fans will once more get to enjoy music from the Late Phife Dawg after his estate announced the release of his second studio album, Forever. The project is expected to drop on the 22nd of March. The announcement comes after the late rapper’s closest friend, DJ Rasta Root, shared the tracklist and cover art on Instagram.
The PostHumous album has 13 tracks with features from artists like Redman, Busta Rhymes, Darien Brockington, Dwele, and Illa J. That’s not all. There’s a special surprise: Phife Dawg’s mother, Cheryl Boyce-Taylor, is among the featured artists.
The family also announced they would be holding a listening session coupled with a Q&A at the Sound of Brazil (SOBs) in New York as part of their memorial for Phife Dawg. Tickets are available for purchase for fans who would like to attend. Peter Rosenberg is set to host the event.
Phife Dawg, born Malik Izaak Taylor, tragically passed away due to complications from Type Ⅱ Diabetes. The rapper who was a part of the group, A Tribe Called Quest, was a fan favorite for hip-hop heads. In fact, he’d earned the nickname, Five Foot Assassin owing to his short 5’3 frame. The hip-hop group earned a nomination to the 2022 Induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
