Statik Selektah brings hip-hop’s finest together on new album 'Expensive Taste'

Renowned producer Statik Selektah returns with 'Expensive Taste', a brand new album that brings together an impressive line-up of established names and emerging talent from across hip-hop.

Setting the tone for the project, Statik introduced two all-star collaborations as its lead singles. ‘The Louvre’ sees Westside Gunn, Joey Bada$$, Stove God Cooks and Rome Streetz share the mic, while ‘Champagne Wishes’ brings together Ab-Soul, Raekwon and Freddie Gibbs, connecting three distinct voices across generations.

That collaborative spirit runs throughout 'Expensive Taste', with Statik bringing together some of the culture’s most respected lyricists alongside artists continuing to shape its future. The guest list includes Busta Rhymes, Killer Mike, Cordae, 2 Chainz, Styles P, Boldy James, Logic, G-Eazy, AZ, Bruiser Wolf and Pharoahe Monch, alongside several of the artists featured on the lead singles.

With such a broad range of voices involved, the album places its focus on the chemistry between artists, giving each collaboration its own identity while remaining anchored by Statik’s production. His role behind the boards is matched by a clear curatorial vision, bringing together different generations of hip-hop.

As one of the genre’s most trusted producers, Statik Selektah has built a reputation on creating records that put lyricism and collaboration at the forefront. 'Expensive Taste' brings that approach into focus, delivering a project shaped by the artists who have helped define hip-hop and those carrying it forward.
