[QUOTE="UPROXX, post: 41159, member: 81"] It’s hard to believe that Steve Lacy hasn’t released a new track in over three years, because he’s been firmly entrenched in mainstream consciousness ever since he put out [I]Apollo XXI [/I]in 2019. Earlier this year, Lacy jumped on “[URL='https://uproxx.com/music/ravyn-lenae-lacy-steve-lacy-skin-tight/']Skin Tight[/URL],” off of Ravyn Lenae’s debut LP, [I]Hypnos ([/I]which he co-produced much of).
