Statik Selektah has called industry heavyweights such as Logic, Joey Bada$$ and several Wu-Tang Clan members to appear on his upcoming album, Round Trip.
On Friday (June 2), the Boston native posted a sneak peek at his upcoming album on Instagram, revealing the tracklist and cover art, as well as its release date: June 9.

“June 9th! Swipe for tracklist! (cover layout by @domdirtee , illustration by @chrisbmurray , photo by @photorobnyc ) @massappealrecs x Showoff,” Statik wrote in the post’s caption.
Aside from the aforementioned features, other artists expected to appear include De La Soul’s Posdnuos, Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, G-Eazy, AB-Soul, Bun B, and many more.
The album’s first single, “Unpredictable,” featuring Wu members, Method Man, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, and Inspectah Deck, was released back in March.
Deck sets the tone as he opens up the track with his hard-hitting bars: “So savage, total my average that’s GOAT status/ Addicts fiending for these lines, that’s a coke habit.”
Following suit, Ghostface Killah matches Deck’s gritty energy as he begins to spit over the pounding beat: “I pop like a old record with a thin needle/ I got verses in the safe written in Hebrew/ Back the fuck up/ Or catch a bald head we call Onyx.”
Fans may recognize the “Soul Dog” sample Statik used – as it’s the same one Common used on “Hungry” taken from his One Day, It’ll All Make Sense album.

The producer’s forthcoming album follows his 2022 joint LP with Bun B, Trillstatik 2. The two had previously worked together on the first Trillstatik album in 2019. The project was exclusively released via TIDAL and features appearances from Method Man, Westside Gunn, Fat Joe, Big K.R.I.T., and Talib Kweli, among others.
