Record Makers is sharing the news about a new album, Quit to Play Chess, from Cola Boyy, who was from Oxnard, California.
The album, which follows 2021’s Prosthetic Boombox, will be released on May 23, with “Babylon” as its lead single and a music video directed by Joey Frank. Check it out below!
Collaborators on this project include Lewis OfMan, Andrew VanWyngarden from MGMT, Jared Solomon, and Nate Fox. Special appearances by Erosika and Wiki also add to the mix.
“To lose a brother, a son; there is a wide and hollow space within us that will never be filled,” shared Cola Boyy’s family in their statement. “But there is music in that emptiness. We are lucky to still have his voice. His music is like nothing else on this Earth; it came from a kid born in space. It warms our hearts knowing our Cola Boyy has so many more people to reach with his style and political convictions. Quit to Play Chess is a masterpiece, rocking our house and community, and if you play it loud and lose yourself, you may just feel him there with you.”
You know what? Fans really miss him.
