I had a little liquor in the system, a couple ladies there. “Me and Tyga was in the studio that day and it was a little vibe. So that’s just how we was feeling in the studio, together.” “This was just a turnt night, it was a little bit of liquor in the system, the beat was thumping, it was aggressive. It is damn near like a Tjay classic, though, ’cause I had this song for a little while and I just never dropped it. “‘Hood Rich’ is me rapping about wanting to be bigger than what I am, or where I was. “I just always felt like I was born to be great and born to be something special, so I just felt like to start it off with that just felt right.” It’s my time to come.” Below, Lil Tjay goes into detail about what was on his mind when he was cooking up the album’s key tracks. “I just felt the energy in the air, like it was ready. “I got a lot of music, coulda been done,” he says. You can hear the progression from Tjay’s debut, 2019’s True 2 Myself, in Destined 2 Win’s content and melodies, something Tjay says likely came from waiting to release it until the time felt absolutely right. “And I feel like now that I’m settling in, I just want to show that I’m here to stay.” Destined 2 Win, which follows 2020’s drill-focused State of Emergency EP, is 21 tracks of New York City slick talk, the Bronx-born MC giving us double-bicep flexing (“Gang Gang,” “Headshot”), warm-weather macking (“Move,” “Slow Down”), and, of course, the all-too-familiar pain of losing friends to the streets (“Nuf Said,” “Losses”). “A lot of people get to their first album and a lot of the esteem be off one song, or their new artist phase,” he tells Apple Music. Lil Tjay had a mission going into the release of his second album, Destined 2 Win.
