ERIC BELLINGER AND HITMAKA RECRUIT MUNI LONG, CORDAE, TINK AND MORE FOR 1(800) HIT-EAZY: LINE 2
The highly anticipated album, 1(800) HIT-EAZY: LINE 2, follows Eric’s critically acclaimed GRAMMY-nominated album New Light and is the second installment of the 1(800) HIT-EAZY series from the artist and producer duo. The 14-track project features special appearances from Blxst, Cordae, Tink, Blxst, Kalan.FrFr, Fabolous, and recent GRAMMY winner Muni Long in addition to previously released hit singles, “Obsession,” “Obsession” Remix ft. Muni Long, the gym anthem “BNB” (Brand New Body) and “Decide.”
Speaking about the project, Eric shares, “For the first time in a long time, I stepped outside of talking about my personal relationship & emotions to speak on behalf of the fellas! If you listen to the project from start to finish, you hear a 14-track story filled with love, vulnerability, and betrayal, but this time from the male’s perspective. We hear a lot about men living double lives, but we’ve never heard the story when the roles are reversed. I took it upon myself to tell the story of the side dude.”
Hitmaka also shared, “Me and Eric really had a lot of fun putting this one together. The fans really showed loved on the first one, so getting back in the lab for Line 2 was a no-brainer. The whole project shed light on a perspective in relationships we don’t usually see or hear about.”
Accompanied alongside the album is an official music video for “Sum 2 See” featuring buzzing artist Blxst. The track samples the 1988 popular hit “Piece of My Love” by R&B group Guy and is directed by frequent collaborator Keoni Mars (Ty Dolla $ign, Masego). “Sum 2 See” visually picks up where “Obsession” left off, as Bellinger’s love interest finally gives him a chance to date.
