A High-Profile Lineup
JACKBOYS 2 boasts an impressive list of artists, with confirmed features from Tyla, GloRilla, 21 Savage, Kodak Black, Don Toliver, Sheck Wes, Vybz Kartel, SahBabii, SoFaygo, and Waka Flocka Flame. The album's rollout began with the release of the single "2000 Excursion" on July 8, featuring cinematic visuals and appearances by Don Toliver and Sheck Wes.
Tyla's Global Impact
Tyla's involvement represents a significant crossover moment, as she becomes one of the few African artists to be featured on a high-profile American hip-hop compilation. Known for her genre-blending style that fuses Afrobeats, dancehall, and R&B, Tyla adds a unique sonic texture to the JackBoys 2 lineup. Her collaboration with Travis Scott follows their joint effort on the remix of her global hit "Water," which appeared on her self-titled debut album.
Tyla's appearance on JACKBOYS 2 is just one of several big moves she’s making this month. She’s also released a brand-new solo single titled “Is It” on July 12, 2025 just one day after JACKBOYS 2 hits the shelves. Described as a sultry blend of amapiano rhythms and moody R&B melodies, the track is expected to highlight Tyla’s continued evolution as a global pop innovator. Fans can also look forward to an official music video, rumored to premiere the same weekend.
