Christian “King” Combs is preparing to take over the sounds of the summer with his latest EP release, ‘C3.’ Additionally, the 25-year-old rapper is giving The Shade Room viewers an exclusive look at his newest music video, “Flyest In The City.”
Christian “King” Combs has released his second EP, ‘C3,’ in conjunction with Bad Boy Entertainment. The project features four tracks which include guest appearances from Brooklyn-bred rapper Fabolous, Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee, and the City Girls’ Yung Miami.
Earlier this week, the rapper took to Instagram to share his gratitude with fans as he announced the forthcoming project. Combs shared a video post comprising significant moments throughout his life. The video also featured some reflective narration from Combs, who spoke about his childhood dreams of becoming a rapper.
“All my life all I ever wanted was to be a rapper. All I ever wanted was to be seen, recognized, celebrated… Put out hits. Make the crowd dance. Make my mom proud. Make my family proud. Follow my dreams…”
The rapper continued by explaining that throughout his journey, “a lot of people have hated” on him before giving him a chance. Now, he is asking the public to listen with “open ears,” as he’s confident that ‘C3’ has “three hits.”
Additionally, the rapper also continued his thoughts in the post’s caption.
“Grateful for the unwavering love and support that made C3, my second EP, possible. Countless hours of hard work poured into this music. My fans, family, and everyone else, you are my inspiration! This is only the beginning!! Can’t Stop Won’t Stop. ForeverKP.”
In an exclusive press release, Christian “King” Combs also shared what he would like fans to take away from this EP ahead of his full-length album. He explained that the four-track project showcases his “different sides” as an artist.
Additionally, he provided fans with insight into each song on the project and his excitement to “continue the legacy of Bad Boy Entertainment.”
“C3 is a 3 pack for the summer before I get into my full album. I put a lot of work into this to show you different sides of me as an artist. ‘Flyest in the City’ is for you to wake up to and get fly. ‘Fatal Attraction’ is the anthem for summer nights on the Pacific Coast Highway leading into ‘Move’ for you to go outside and turn up to. I’m hype to share this pack with the world and it’s an honor to continue the legacy of Bad Boy Entertainment.”
‘C3′ arrives on the heels of the release of Combs’ number one single, “Can’t Stop Won’t Stop,” featuring Kodak Black. The single, which samples “Crush On You” by Bad Boy collaborator Lil’ Kim, has garnered over 21 million views on YouTube and “40 million-plus streams.” Additionally, Combs has collaborated with the likes of Chris Brown, Teyana Taylor, Ty Dolla $ign, and more.
