In May of 2016, he dropped his third mixtape Indigo 2 with Nodachi once again producing the entire project under the moniker ElijahWiley. In between, West raised his profile through notable collaborations with 21 Savage, Rich The Kid, and Night Lovell, among others. In September of this year, he dropped his first major album titled LW17, this time with contributions from several producers and collaborations with artists including Kodie Shane. Now, Lil West is sharing his darkly hypnotic track “Heart4orever,” produced by Dmac.

Born in raised in the streets of Warner Robins, Georgia, Brudda Haitian jumped head-first into the rap game at 16 years-old, selling his first mixtape in his high school hallways. However, it wasn’t until his hit single, “Gone Bad,” was released that people across the country began to notice. As Pigeons and Planes explained, “‘Gone Bad’ has been shutting down clubs all year and now it's starting to expand outside of the region.” His 2017 mixtape, I Am the New Dope, has earned Brudda accolades and has heightened his ever-growing presence as a force in the southern hip-hop scene. Today, Brudda Haitian shares his latest track “Max Out,” a hard-hitting banger produced by Deraj Global, featured on A3C Volume 7.
A3C Volume 7 is slated to hit stores worldwide on November 24, 2017 via A3C / iHipHop Distribution.
