After a four-year hiatus and a highly publicized incarceration, Atlanta rap mainstay YFN Lucci is making a powerful return to music with the release of his new single, “Jan. 31st (My Truth),” out this Friday, May 23. The Billboard-charting Think It’s A Game artist delivers an unfiltered, emotional statement that signals not just a comeback—but a rebirth.
Ahead of its official release, we’d love to provide you with a private preview of the track, allowing you to experience the depth of Lucci’s message and artistic evolution firsthand. “Jan. 31st (My Truth)” is raw and reflective, offering the kind of heartfelt storytelling his fans have always gravitated toward. The song captures Lucci’s first thoughts and feelings as a free man—marked by pain, clarity, and a renewed sense of purpose. The accompanying artwork, which features his children, serves as a visual testament to what now grounds him the most.
Lucci has wasted no time reconnecting with what matters. Since returning home, he’s been deeply focused on fatherhood, creative growth, and community involvement. Though his signature melodic street rap remains front and center, this track introduces a more vulnerable, introspective Lucci—unafraid to sit in his truth.
A pivotal figure in Atlanta’s iconic rap lineage, Lucci broke onto the national scene with a distinctive blend of melody and grit. His debut album Ray Ray from Summerhill debuted at #14 on the Billboard 200, affirming his ability to balance mainstream appeal with authentic Southern storytelling. With career-defining anthems like “Key to the Streets” (feat. Migos & Trouble), “Everyday We Lit” (feat. PnB Rock), and “Run It Up” (feat. Marissa), Lucci carved out a lane all his own—combining infectious hooks with heartfelt street narratives.
Outside the booth, 2025 marks a new chapter in Lucci’s philanthropic footprint. For the first time in years, he’s able to physically participate in his charitable efforts, not just support them from afar. In April, he hosted the 2nd Annual Golden Bunny Bash, a community Easter celebration that brought joy to over 650 children and families. Earlier this month, he honored his roots by celebrating Teacher Appreciation Week at his alma mater, Maynard Jackson Holbrook High School, showing love to all 186 educators and staff members.
“Jan. 31st (My Truth)” is more than just a song—it’s a statement. YFN Lucci is back, more focused, more transparent, and more committed than ever.
