The free 18-track project houses recent bangers including his “Big Spender” collab with ASAP Rocky and “She Said OK” with Big Boi. It also features the fashionable Brooklynite flexing his penchant for cover tracks among collaborations with Blood Orange, Lunice, Star City, Jesse Boykins and more.

Our boy is back and hard at work, so don’t forget about him just yet.

Today Theophilus London released a remix album  Timez Are Weird These Nights, featuring remixes by Brodinski and some newbie producers and DJ’s. Club rats, TL wants you to love his music too. Check it out.

But for those who miss his more laid back I Want You vibe, TL hasn’t forgotten about you either. His new mixtape, The Rose Album is slated to come out next month and TL’s told us that this one’s for the bedroom. Tell your special someone and break out the candles. “Big Spender” was nothing short of incredible and there’s more collab’s to come. We were promised new work with A$APYams, Asher Roth and Kreayshawn– TL puts no limits on his creativity. But he doesn’t stop at musical creativity, either. New shoes and LVRS hats are in the works. Why just listen to TL when you can dress like him too?

For our overseas fans, TL’s hitting up some spots in Eastern Europe for the first time. Russia and Croatia this one goes out to you.

Oh, and we can’t forget, he’s already started on album #2 of  brand new original music. More to come…

Yesterday Theophilus London and A$AP Rocky dropped their collaborative single, “Big Spender,” with some production help courtesy of DJ Carnage. The NYC connection is in full swing on this record, and the bars won’t disappoint either. This joint is supposed to land on London’s upcoming project, Lover’s Holiday II: Rose Island, which drops on May 15. There’s still plenty of time for another release, but this one bangs hard enough for now. Be sure to check out this track below.
