My city turning up

It’s getting hot as fuck

He In minnesota with wolves

Counting bucks

You better run it up

That shit you had was not enough

Unemployment helped them boys they was lucking up

I got it too and flipped it

Cashed out on the newest truck

It’s war going on boy you better duck 

We on some 03 shit

Knucking if you buck

2020 it was and it’s staying stuck

My bro sick in the head

You gon if he shake his dreads

I’m smoother than the smoothest kappa and i never pledge

How you my enemy but you never made me bled

I was in his territory and the nigga fled

We ride with so much ice they think the whipping sleds

Sleep on me i got polo horses on my bed

My life the shit

I’m eating breakfast while I’m getting head

Heard it’s a bounty on him na the nigga playing dead

Rock ice till we numb up

Girl you with the gang turn up

Gotta party till the sun up

All i want is you

Tryna put you on game

You was used to the lames 

Ya life will never be the same all i want you 

You wanna see my neighborhood it ain’t safe there

It’s rule to the game

But they don’t play fair

Grimey niggas heard they shooting up day cares

In broad day man i swear dem boys don’t Care

These days you gotta come Huey in the chair

Get violent if people wanna take it there

I rather hit miami chill in the Telly pool

We got the bnb tell me if you coming thru

Imma put some liquor to the side tell me what you like

If you sippin on dark or you thinking

White

It’s getting too dark maybe you should spend a night

You think one night

Or could we make it for life

Real niggas rare

Like my pair of nike airs

You really wanna take it there

Baby we take it there

Live life no care

Wind blow in ya hair

On point gotta stare

All i want is you

It’s the middle of the summer

It’s the middle of the summer

We showing off our winter grind

It’s the middle of the summer

Still it’s on money on my mind

It’s the middle of the summer

Stay out the way or keep a iron 

It’s the middle of the summer

War zone and hella crime

It’s the middle of the summer

Exotic trips

Expensive shoes

It’s the middle

Of the summer

Stay out the way don’t make the news

It’s the middle of the summer

They turning red our faces blue

It’s the middle of the summer

Grammy-nominated, West Coast singer-songwriter, producer, and visionary BLXST returns with his new album Labor of Love, via EMPIRE and International BLXST. Marking his first full-length project in two years, the 13-track album features Sasha Keable, Cheyenne Wright, Oakland poet Love Rich TT, and Big Sad 1900.

Entirely self-written and produced by BLXST, Labor of Love finds him reconnecting with the foundation that first inspired his journey in music. Built around themes of love, perseverance, fatherhood, and personal growth, the album serves as his most honest and vulnerable body of work to date, offering a deeper look into the man behind the music. Further reflecting that sense of home and self-discovery, the album artwork was photographed at his childhood home on the East Side of South Central Los Angeles. 

The album arrives alongside the official video for “Ruin” featuring Sasha Keable, filmed at the iconic Frank’s Restaurant in Burbank. The visual follows BLXST as he observes couples navigate tension and frustration, with Keable appearing as a waitress against a warm, nostalgic backdrop.

At its core, Labor of Love explores the idea that love is not simply a feeling, but a daily commitment. Throughout the intro and the album trailer, BLXST shares that love is actual labor– it’s showing up, even when you're tired or facing challenges. "You don't have to be perfect, just don't quit," he reflects, underscoring the project's central message of resilience. Drawing from the highs and lows of life and his journey as an independent artist, the album captures the lessons, growth, and perspective he has gained along the way, embracing the belief that setbacks are just as important to the journey as successes. 

Labor of Love follows BLXST's acclaimed 2024 album and short film I'll Always Come Find You, a character-driven concept project that unfolded across four cinematic acts. While that release explored fictional narratives and expansive storytelling, Labor of Love strips away the characters and concepts, placing BLXST himself at the center of the story.

Labor of Love is available on all major streaming platforms. Stream the new album HERE.
