Los Angeles-bred hip-hop star Blxst returns with the release of his highly anticipated ‘Before You Go’ mixtape, which drops today, April 22nd via Red Bull Records / Evgle LLC.

The 13-track mixtape embodies the laidback aura of LA with an R&B twist that takes us on a melodic joyride. Blxst’s soulful voice blends beautifully with jazzy piano chords, intoxicating violins and 808 beats that are nostalgic yet refreshingly new. This mixtape features Blxst’s recent hit “Sometimes”featuring TDE star Zacari, and also includes the radio single, “About You”.

‘Before You Go’ invites you into Blxst’s mind, soul, and heart. His nonchalant flow is captivating and filled with his honest thoughts on love, his relationship with success and his overall journey. Blxst reveals a vulnerable side you rarely see from artists and gives us a chance to connect with him on a personal level. On tracks like “Still Omw” he humbly shares his views on his own career, accompanied by sultry vocals that engulf you into the world of Blxst. Then, he comes through confidently with an ultimatum of love on the track “Pick Your Poison”, featuring a brilliant violin solo from GrandMaster Vic that keeps driving the strong instrumental elements throughout the mixtape. On the anthemic song “Couldn’t Wait For It” featuring Rick Ross, Blxst triumphantly proclaims, “it’s just different when it’s a self-made story”.

Blxst also releases the official video for “Every Good Girl,” a track which dives deeper into his romantic life. He explains, “‘Every Good Girl’ is my version of a ghetto Disney story, finding your perfect match despite your differences.”
