In May, Josh K is releasing the third act of his Lover’s Lane EP with features from Jeremih, Tory Lanez, and long-time collaborator and label mate Fabolous.
A young Josh K began to garner a fan base in Chicagoland around 2014 with the release of his mixtape, Your Girls Favorite, which included features from King Louie and Young Chop, along with production from Murda Beatz. Shortly thereafter, in 2015, he developed a working relationship with Brooklyn rapper Fabolous via social media, which blossomed into a spot on the rapper’s label, The Family, beginning in 2020.
Josh K’s first project under the label was Lover’s Lane Act: I, a three-track EP released in October 2020 that included the lead single “So Tuff,” featuring Fabolous. He followed that up with Lover’s Lane Act: II, led by the single “Drake’n & Driving,” two months later in December.
The TRiiBE caught up with Josh K in April at the private preview event for Lover’s Lane Act: 3 and discussed the story behind the project’s name, his working relationship with Fab, and bringing Chicago’s R&B scene to the forefront of the genre.
