The BLK LT$ (pronounced “Black Lotus”) has officially released her 13-track album, ‘Honey: The BLK LT$ Meets The Killa Beez’, via RZA’s 36 Chambers imprint. Executive produced by RZA in collaboration with Grammy winner Yonatan Watts, the project serves as a sophisticated fusion of hip-hop grit and R&B sensuality. The Toronto-born, Atlanta-based artist has spent years as a behind-the-scenes powerhouse, contributing to the sound of superstars like Drake and Future. Now, she takes center stage with a record that reimagines Wu-Tang classics through a contemporary female lens. LT$ explains that the interpolation process was a “fusion of inspiration and experimentation,” balancing deep respect for the source material with her own “C.R.E.A.M.(y)” sonic aesthetic.

The album’s release is supported by a series of striking visuals for singles like “Real Talk”—a soulful rework of the Method Man and Mary J. Blige classic “All I Need”—as well as “Damage” and “N.T.F.W.” To further immerse fans in her universe, LT$ is preparing a short film with creative direction from legendary photographer Danny Hastings, known for his work on the original ‘Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)’ cover art. This collaboration underscores the “destined” nature of her signing to RZA’s label, marking a full-circle moment for the three-time Grammy-nominated engineer and producer. By infusing the Killa Beez legacy with her own lush vocals and modern textures, The BLK LT$ is effectively extending hip-hop’s golden era into a new generation.
