Blxst has been working in the music industry in various capacities for nearly a decade now, and 2022 was one of his biggest years to date. In the early months, he appeared on Murda Beatz's "One Shot" with Wale, as well as the wildly successful "Peru (Remix)" alongside Fireboy DML and 21 Savage. In April, the multi-talent's Before You Go project arrived, boasting 13 titles, including popular releases such as "About You" and "Every Good Girl."

Following that he closed the year out with a few more collaborations with the likes of Chris Brown, Kalan.FrFr, Babyface Ray, and Nija. As we continue to speed through 2023, Blxst is making his mark with a new four-track EP, Just For Clarity 2, which arrived this New Music Friday (March 10). It includes the previously premiered "Keep Calling" featuring Larry June, plus two more joint efforts and one solo song.

Blxst and Roddy Ricch's First Collab Is Plenty "Passionate"

Blxst's tracklist begins with "Ghetto Cinderella" featuring Mustard and Terrace Martin, which chiefly sets the tone for what's to come. Next, he and Roddy Ricch put on a "Passionate" display with their first-ever link-up. Where the 30-year-old's voice really shines is on "Call My Bluff," where he operates solo.

As The Source reports, the R&B artist's work with "The Box" hitmaker sounds to be his personal favourite. "'Passionate' is bigger than a song to me," Blxst explained. "I like to look at it more as a mindset, especially working with Roddy on this record. It’s dope to see somebody’s success go from zero to a hundred, especially somebody from the hometown.

"I just remember us being in a studio before anybody knew who we were and we had that same drive and passion," he added. "This track is a look back at that, seeing where we were, where we are, where we’re going, and what brought us here today." Of his project as a whole, Blxst also shared, "When I think of clarity, I think of being clear and getting straight to the point."

"It’s a moment for me to vent and be honest and transparent, which is a theme throughout the EP. I call it a flawless four-pack because it’s intentionally short and sweet, but it’s also an appetizer before the debut." It remains unclear when his album will be dropping, but fans are certainly excited to see what else the California native has in store.
