Legendary (Tyga album)

Legendary is the seventh studio album by American rapper Tyga, released on June 7, 2019, by Last Kings Records and Empire Distribution.

Tyga said he had no intentions of releasing a full-length project at the time, but felt inspired after receiving constant requests from fans following the release of his single "Taste": “I really didn’t plan to have a whole album,” Tyga said in an interview with Ryan Seacrest.

He said that the recording process for the album was to “not write [the lyrics] down, record it as I go.”[7] The album's cover art features the rapper in a black suit, standing in front of a white luxury car, posing with two half naked women.

I kept it West Coast with the girls on there.”[7] HotNewHipHop reviewed it positively, commenting that “Legendary recognizes that the formula of “Taste” is, not only a successful one, but what a lot of people want and expect to hear from him.”[9] Vulture called it “a smarter, more judiciously crafted version of a DJ Khaled album: It ropes in major stars, up-and-comers, and bubbling sounds but molds them into the coherent vision of a single human being.”[11] HipHopDX gave a mixed-to-negative response towards the album, saying that "If Tyga’s goal is to be as Legendary as the title of his latest album suggests, he needs to do better.
