Leveling Up: 'State of Emergency' EP Review

On May 8th, 2020, Lil Tjay silenced all the haters with his new seven-track EP titled State of Emergency. It’s clear that this project is dedicated to the people of New York as all of the features on the record only come from the hottest rappers in Brooklyn. Some of these features include Fivio Foreign, Jay Critch, J.I. the Prince of N.Y, and the Brooklyn legend Pop Smoke.

Compared to Tjay’s previous work, this EP is much harder hitting. Aside from his two slower songs “Ice Cold” & “My City”, all these tracks consist of bass-heavy beats and hard-ass verses that prove Lil Tjay is leveling up in the game. My favorite aspect of this project is that it really showcases his growth, which isn’t necessarily a trend right now as artists rush to release music during quarantine.

If there’s one thing that is communicated clearly in State of Emergency, it’s that Tjay isn’t stopping until he is crowned the king of New York. Considering he dropped his debut album True 2 Myself in 2019, and he’s already released this EP, I think another full album is not too far away. It’s very clear that he’s been grinding in the studio and he’s got a lot left in the tank. This record and his recent singles are just what we needed to hold us over until we get the new album, which I assume is going to be the best project of his career (to date).

At only 19 years old, 2020 has already been a huge success for Lil Tjay, and we aren’t even halfway through the year. His work is very promising and we are only witnessing the tip of the iceberg.
