They added that this release will be part of their attempts to ultimately make all of his unofficial releases available on streaming platforms.

“It is important to us to continue to honor Jah’s legacy, and in that spirit we are planning an exciting 2022. One of our first initiatives is to get as much of X’s music from his earliest days as an artist up on all DSPs. We have been working diligently to clear as much of it as possible, and we are excited to announce our first release this Friday with “vice city” hitting all streaming services for the first time. We will continue to release music as we clear it, and are making sure we do it in a way that stays true to how X released each song originally.”

This announcement was backed by a teaser for MakeOutHill, which has old videos of X performing as well as audio of other rappers like Trippie Redd, Juice WRLD, and Joey Bada$$ discussing X’s influence. To get the latest updates, Keep an eye on Thirsty.
