Tee Grizzley's second proper album,
Scriptures, was executive produced by
Timbaland after
Kanye West introduced the Detroit rapper to the legendary producer. Building on the momentum of
Grizzley's first album and various mixtapes,
Scriptures arrived after
Grizzley was released from parole, which he described as similar to being released from prison all over again. While he no longer has to deal with some of the same life issues as he did a few years earlier, it hasn't detracted from his drive and hunger as a rapper, and his storytelling skills are sharper and more focused than ever.
Scriptures includes production from
Timbaland as well as Chopsquad DJ,
ATL Jacob, Keanu Beats, and others. The album's final track, "Young Grizzley World," features
YNW Melly and
A Boogie wit da Hoodie. The album was released in June 2019, and debuted at number 20 on the Billboard 200.
