As he prepares for the release of his next project, Yung Bleu is also reflecting on his place in the industry. Earlier this month, Bleu teased the arrival of Love Scars 2, the follow-up to 2020's Love Scars: The 5 Stages of Emotion. That album was a breakout of sorts for the Alabama singer, as Drake's appearance on "You're Mines Still" catapulted the project to new heights. Although Bleu hasn't revealed this latest project's release date, fans expect it sooner rather than later.
Bleu has earned himself his first set of awards and collaborated with legends in the industry. However, according to a recent post, it seems that he believes he deserves more respect as an artist. The rapper was perusing through some Twitter mentions and discovered critics complained that his tracks sound the same. It's something that Bleu took note of and refuted.
Yung Bleu Addresses Lack of Respect In the Industry
"People who say 'all his music sound the same,'" Bleu began. "Them be the main ones who’s only heard 2 songs out your 100 song catalog lol. Y’all just say stuff for attention sometime." A fan replied by saying his latest release does resemble previous drops. "It’s suppose to give u the same vibe as love scars 1. it’s nostalgic it suppose to creat the same feeling," Bleu answered. "It’s the same brand ! same feeling different topic . If I made pop songs on a love scars 2 y’all gone say (he could kept that)."
"I’m probably never gonna be respected as a artist but whoever been around me in the studio know ima genius when it come to music," he added. "The real secret is these major labels and machines try to bury me cuz I never took they contracts . So I never get looks , the opportunities to display my talent to the world . But I’m pushing out product for all they artist in private. Maybe I’ll sign to a major one day so my fans can finally see me blow up big as I should be . I’ll do it for y’all if I ever did it."
Meanwhile, Bleu has been focused on life outside of being an artist. He is currently developing his own production studio where he will shape a new generation of creatives in the entertainment industry.
