“Definitely a different project. It’s not gonna be nothing anybody used to from Toosii,” the 24-year-old said of the new set while playing with the Detroit Lions. “This is definitely outside what the day ones would ask for. We taking a risk with this project.”

He continued: “This project’s a lot bigger than anything I ever made. Great music is great music. If people appreciate great music, they’ll appreciate this project.”

Toosii hopes fans feel “enthusiastic, happy and proud” when pressing play on what he believes is the best album he’s made in his career thus far.

Jaded arrived via South Coast Music Group/Capitol Records on Oct. 4 with features from Gunna, Muni Long and Kehlani. The 13-track LP debuted at No. 50 on the Billboard 200.

Toosii will be hitting the road this weekend alongside Moneybagg Yo as a supporting act on Rod Wave’s Final Lap Tour, which kicks off in Phoenix on Saturday (Oct. 19). After a trip to the desert, they’ll be making stops in Oakland, Sacramento, Houston, Dallas, Memphis, Lexington, Detroit, Chicago, Brooklyn, Boston, Baltimore, Philly, Nashville and Orlando, before finishing up in Ft. Lauderdale on Dec. 18.

Toosii will be hosting meet-and-greets on the road once again. Some of the photos from previous treks went viral à la Chris Brown with fan’s overzealous requests.

“They be crazy,” he said. “They be trying to flash the camera. There’s some crazy stuff going on. We gotta tell them to [chill out] a little bit. Always gotta do the meet-and-greets.”

Unfortunately for Toosii, he didn’t fare too well on the sticks in Madden . Watch another clip from his chat with Billboard below.
