Lihtz shares new album ‘ROMANTIC’ ft. Fridayy & Meek Mill | Disc 2 of ‘HOPELESS ROMANTIC’ project

On the heels of the Disc 1 release of HOPELESS last week, breakout Philly artist Lihtz has just shared his new album, Disc 2, ROMANTIC –– out now via PriceOvFame, along with a visualizer for “Green Ranger”. The new release also arrives alongside the news that Lihtz will be opening for JID on select dates of his God Does Like Ugly Tour, beginning on November 30th in Charlotte, North Carolina –– another milestone that captures the success of Lihtz‘s year since releasing his hit song “Crash Out” (8M+ Streams) and its subsequent Remix featuring Meek Mill and Fridayy earlier this year. The new release of ROMANTIC serves as Disc 2 of Lihtz‘s 2-part album aptly-titled HOPELESS ROMANTIC. Arriving as a double-sided, cinematic body of work that captures the multi-dimensional world that Lihtz has been building throughout 2025, HOPELESS ROMANTIC simultaneously captures the pain and perseverance of the hopeless, and the passion and connection of the romantic –– capturing the duel artistry of Lihtz in the process. ROMANTIC features previous singles “Crash Out” and “Savage Ways”, positioning Lihtz as a romantic and a people’s superhero, carrying the pain of the trenches while transforming it into music that is proving to resonate, inspire, heal, and motivate. “Crash Out RMX” (feat. Fridayy & Meek Mill) is also found on ROMANTIC, which tells the story of being in a tumultuous relationship and the emotional turmoil of navigating trials of love, separation, jealousy and commitment. Showcasing both his depth as a storyteller and range as an ear-grabbing vocalist, the release of HOPELESS ROMANTIC caps off a breakthrough year for Lihtz and his ever-evolving universe, having recently culminated in a surprise appearance alongside his collaborator Fridayy at Druski‘s Coulda Fest Tour stop in Philadelphia.

Born in West Philly, Lihtz remembers moving from shelter to shelter before settling into his West Oak Lane home. When he wasn’t absorbing the struggle surrounding him, he was soaking up the sounds of the city. “I think my mom literally bought the first Musiq Soulchild album on the street from Musiq Soulchild”, he recalls. With his uncle Big Biscuit being a rapper, Lihtz got his first bars off at the age four. By the time he was in high school, he was getting into rap battles. When he graduated, he began actually recording songs before moving to Atlanta to refine his sound. Lihtz returned to Philadelphia proceeding to earn a co-sign from Philly area legend Gillie Da Kid, release a regionally-revered album in 2016’s The Switch Up, a 2021 mixtape Heavens Basement and secured a guest slot on Meek Mill’s Wins & Losses cut, “Never Lose” (22M+ Streams). Re-emerging in 2024 with a new masked look and viral single “Serenity” that garnered popularity for its tear-stained warbles, Lihtz continued his legacy of turning harsh memories and pained melodies into triumphant theme songs for hope and healing.
