Following the hard-hitting return single “Anxious”, West London’s AJ Tracey last night assumed the character of a rising young basketball player, appearing in a live-streamed press conference to reveal his next move, a lucrative deal with major franchise ‘Revenge Athletic’ ahead of a crucial playoff game. The broadcast ended with the true reveal that AJ’s highly-anticipated sophomore album Flu Game will finally arrive on Friday, April 16, 2021.
Always pushing boundaries with his creative output, AJ’s sophomore LP draws numerous parallels with the story of Michael Jordan and his Chicago Bulls team in the late 90s – with Flu Game referencing one of MJ’s most memorable championship games – where he overcame a nasty bout of food poisoning (from a dodgy pizza) and took the Bulls to the championship. ‘Revenge Athletic’ is a franchise on the brink of a massive championship win, and AJ is their new star. All we know, for now, is that AJ is about to take us into this new world, as he dons the number 10 jersey, and states he’s “ready to get going [and] do what I’ve always done.”
Available for pre-order now with an extensive range of Revenge team apparel, Flu Game sees AJ showcasing twelve brand new tracks, with tantalising features including Kehlani, T-Pain, SahBabii,NAV and Millie Go Lightly. On the production front, AJ calls on regular collaborators Nyge, The Elements, Kazza, AOD and Remedee. The project also features the top ten singles “Bringing It Back”with Digga D, “West Ten” with Mabel, and the Platinum smash hit “Dinner Guest” feat. MoStack. The album news and its ambitious accompanying creative press conference are sure to whip fans into a frenzy.

AJ Tracey is a man on an unstoppable, independently-built trajectory. 2020 was his biggest year to date, with single “West Ten” alongside Mabel (Gold), landing in the wake of chart-scaling “Dinner Guest” feat. MoStack (Platinum), #1 charity single “Times Like These”, (alongside Dua Lipa, Rag & Bone Man, and The Foo Fighters), and the Platinum-certified TikTok sensation “Rain” with Aitch, which went on to become the most-watched UK YouTube video of 2020. AJ finished the year with a stand-out feature on Headie One’s enormous anthem “Ain’t It Different” alongside Stormzy – a Platinum-certified track that peaked at Number 2 in the UK singles chart.
In 2019, AJ released his debut self-titled album, which after landing at #3 in the UK Official Charts, has gone on to clock over 350 million streams globally, and is certified Gold. His Conducta-produced breakout hit “Ladbroke Grove” was officially the top-selling independent single of 2019, spending an astounding 14 weeks in the UK Top 10, and is now certified double-Platinum. It was nominated for a BRIT, was named Best British Song at the NME Awards, and is now incredibly the biggest-selling UK Garage record of all time. AJ rounded off a huge 2019 with two sold-out headline shows at London’s 10,000 capacity Alexandra Palace.
A music, fashion and cultural icon, and boasting over 1 billion global streams independently, AJ’s formidable talent and unmatched creative vision is set to see him scale even higher heights in the coming months. Ahead of AJ Tracey gracing the stages of Australia in January 2022 and with limited tickets still available via handsometours.com, mark your diary for the eagerly-awaited release of the rapper’s next major play, in Flu Game.

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
