“Legendary” started out as just a few party singles until fans demanded an entire project.
Legendary has a few chart-topping artists to assist Tyga including J Balvin, Lil Wayne, Gunna, Swae Lee, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Blueface, and, of course, Tyga’s good friend and longtime collaborator, Chris Brown. “Chris [Brown], I’ve been friends with for like 10 years now [and] J Balvin, I’ve always been a fan of his so I kind of just reached out to him,” Tyga shared. “He was like, ‘Yo, man, everything you’re doing, man, congratulations! Your songs, like, let’s work!’ So I sent him…two songs…because I’ve never done a song with a Latin artist, like a collaboration like that, so I sent him another song that was more Latin and it actually didn’t make the album and he was like, ‘No, I want to get on the other one, man! That’s the party one! That’s the club one! I want to be in the club, man!’”
Tyga is known for his bangers that have lasted the tests of time, whether he’s flying solo or collaborating with other artists (“Rack City,” “Dip,” “Deuces,” “Bubble Butt,” “Loyal,” and “Go Loko,” just to name a few). If his goal was to create an album with a string of singles that will get people in a feel good, party-type mood then he’s succeeded.
