Multi-platinum selling, global superstar Khalid releases his Scenic Drive tape today via Right Hand Music Group/RCA Records. Scenic Drive, which Khalid describes as a companion piece to his 2018 EP Sun City, features collaborations from artists such as Alicia Keys, Ari Lennox, 6LACK, Lucky Daye, JID, Smino, Majid Jordan, Kiana Ledé, and QUIN.

Earlier this week Khalid dropped the music video for the lead track “Present”.

In a press release about Scenic Drive, Khalid said, “After a break from making music — I’m excited to return joined by other artists that I respect and love. I am a really big believer in collaboration and “Scenic Drive” to me represents me moving into a more mature direction with my sound. I’ve been holding onto this for the past few months and can’t wait until it’s yours. And after this …then comes the album. Enjoy this with your friends and loved ones. This tape is yours”
