Okay Will is dropping 3 albums this year! Wasn’t expecting that. The second album which is more positive and uplifting I’m looking forward to the most. I also can’t believe Will has recorded 60 tracks none without Jeff and he is embarking on a huge stadium tour without Jeff.

Great to see him dropping three albums! Wasn't expecting that at all! Looking forward to it.

I know we all want Jeff to be involved but let's not forget that Jeff wasn't involved much on his previous albums. He was on BWS, Willennium and Lost & Found but just on a couple of tracks. (Except for Willennium, which was basically a JJFP album). He wasn't on Born To Reign. I bet he will be featured on one or two tracks. He has to be!

Is Will really puting out 3 albums in 2025! That feels like ''Fake News'' LOL! I'm kinda confused though he's changed the album title like 3 times already i really liked Dance in your Darkest Moments.

Well he said the 3 albums combined are called “based on a true story” 

but the first one is sticking with “rave in the wasteland” 

I guess “dance in your darkest moments” is still the name of the movement?

Man 3 albums and a possible stadium tour!? That is incredibly exciting. I really hope he keeps it up and doesn’t lose steam. I’m worried a movie roll will come along that will derail things. 
 

A stadium tour hitting more North American spots would be incredible!

I love this interview. They talk about Code Red, Willennium and hip hop in general. The interviewer knows what he's talking about. He talks about songs like "The Rain" and "Shadow Dreams". Great stuff!
