Statik Selektah is partnering up with Mass Appeal Records for his next album. According to Billboard, the veteran producer has inked a deal with Nas’ label for his upcoming LP titled The Balancing Act.
“Mass Appeal and I have always seen eye to eye with how Hip Hop should be represented, and this album is another chapter in that,” Statik told Billboard. “Bringing my management team at Roc Nation in with Mass Appeal is aligning two of the most authentic brands in Hip Hop to ever do it.”
Statik’s ninth studio album is expected to be released in the summer. The follow-up to 2017’s 8 LP will feature contributions from Method Man, the Griselda Records crew, 2 Chainz, Joey Bada$$, Dave East and the aforementioned Nas.
“The collaborations are already really powerful,” Statik said. “I’m sure rounding out the album, it will get even more special.”

Fans won’t need to wait until the summer to hear a new batch of Statik’s production though. The Showoff Records founder handled all of the beats on CJ Fly’s debut album Rudebwoy, which is scheduled to drop on Friday (March 6).

I can’t wait for it to drop it’s gonna be Mad dope his last joint was bangin you know what your getting with staik he brings that real authentic hip hop and the dopest collabs I don’t care what anyone says
You’re right pal. The naysayers here are pathetic little idiots who wouldn’t know real hip hop if it smacked them in their stupid little faces…
Damn, that pic of Joey, Statik and Nas together, dope! Hopefully, there’s a collabo of them on his album.
F*ck this fat white premo wannabe
He is a dope producer. You are an idiot.
He doesn’t sound anything like Premo though, envy and jealousy isn’t healthy for you
Jealous of a mediocre knock off beatmaker ? Lol
Mediocre? Funny how some of the best artists in hip hop have worked with the guy and respect him. But hey – clearly a goon like you knows better than what they do…
Fuck this culture vulture!
I’m guessing your IQ is about 50, as it is for most people who use the term ‘culture vulture’.
Always hyped for a new Statik project. He’s been nothing but consistent with his beats over the years. He’ll never be on the same level as Premier or Dilla in my opinion, but then I don’t think anyone else will be. What Goes Around… is one of my favourite hip hop albums of the 2010s – the production is immaculate.
