BlocBoy JB pays tribute to Tay Keith on new 16-track project ‘Free Agent’

BlocBoy JB has returned with a brand-new project titled 'Free Agent', delivering 16 tracks while honouring the memory of his close friend and longtime collaborator Tay Keith.

After spending a decade building his name within hip-hop, BlocBoy continues to showcase the energy and hit-making instincts that first brought him widespread attention. However, 'Free Agent' carries a deeper significance, with the project arriving following the loss of Tay Keith.

One of the album’s most personal moments comes through “LLTK,” a direct tribute to the producer and the friendship they shared. Tay Keith played an important role throughout BlocBoy’s career, making his influence an undeniable part of the rapper’s musical journey. Rather than allowing the circumstances surrounding the project to overshadow the music, BlocBoy channels that emotion into a focused body of work that celebrates his progression as an artist while keeping his friend’s legacy close.

Across its 16 tracks, 'Free Agent' represents another chapter in BlocBoy JB’s career, combining his familiar style with a more meaningful backdrop. For longtime listeners, the album offers new music while also serving as a heartfelt salute to someone who played a major role in his story.
