Lojay’s highly anticipated debut album ‘XOXO‘, originally scheduled for release this Friday, August 22, has been postponed. A new release date is yet to be confirmed.

If those releases are any indication, the eventual drop promises to be a soulful, carefully crafted journey into Lojay’s world, one fans will likely find worth the wait.
