Ty Dolla $ign has quickly risen through the ranks of new rappers as one of the most hyped artists out there with his mixtape $ign Language and Beach House EP.  Since his debut on the XXL Freshman List this year, he has quickly skyrocketed in popularity—being signed to Taylor Gang Records and Atlantic Records hasn’t hurt him, either. His music video for “Or Nah” feat. The Weeknd, Wiz Khalifa and DJ Mustard has received over 27 million views on youtube.

Dolla $ign has been said to be working on his debut album, to be called Free TC. On a Los Angeles-based radio show, The Lesbakeradio Show, last February he described the album and it’s message in defense of wrongfully incarcerated inmates: “The album’s going to be called Free TC, it’s dedicated to my lil bro, all the homies in prison that’s wrongfully imprisoned.” Dolla $ign has also recently begun a 40-stop world tour, the In Too Deep Tour, which has also been dedicated to the cause of the wrongfully imprisoned. Today, in an interview published to XXLmag.com, he said: “Yeah. The Free TC Tour is definitely made to bring awareness to people who suffer injustice and who are locked up and forgotten about. We can’t forget those people. A real one like me, I’m going to get them out, I’m going to do whatever I can.”

Last February, Dolla $ign announced that both Kendrick Lamar and YG would be featured on Free TC. In his interview with XXL, he also announced that he has been working on projects with Nicki Minaj and Rihanna, “on their album and my album,” he said. Besides DJ Mustard, D.R.U.G.S. is also a producer on the album, among others.

Though no official release date has been announced, this album is gearing up to be the smash record of the season. It will be interesting to see which artists end up on the final copy.
