Since his tragic passing nearly four years ago, XXXTentacion has become one of the most-streamed rappers ever on Spotify. Considered by many to be one of the pioneers of SoundCloud Rap, XXXTentacion aka Jahseh Onfroy now has four songs that have surpassed the 1 billion streams mark on the global music platform.
Fans of the deceased Florida-rapper have been clamoring for more music. Therefore, his mother, Cleopatra Bernard, and the estate of the late rapper have decided to oblige them with more music releases. To commemorate the official release an old fan-favorite, the estate for XXXTentacion made the following statement, via Twitter:
"To Jahseh's supporters across the world. We continue to be amazed at the love and support that X's fans show on a daily basis. We know how much his music means to all of you, and his impact continues to be more powerful than its ever been. It's 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. Visit makeouthill.com now to sign up and stay up to date with X-related news, and be the first to be notified as the site evolves. Follow @makeouthill on Twitter for more updates. Beyond music, we know X's fans have been waiting patiently for the documentary and we will be sharing updates on it soon. Thank you again for your support and for continuing to honor and celebrate the life of Jah."
This announcement was made on Sunday, which would have been XXXTentacion's 24th birthday. In addition to an upcoming album release, his estate also teased the possibility of publishing a documentary in the same vein as Juice WRLD: Into the Abyss.
