In the first of a series of Vlogs set to promote his upcoming No Sick Days album, Memphis rapper Lil Wyte broke down what fans can expect from the April release.
During the Vlog, which finds Wyte sitting down for an interview as well as making music in the studio, the rapper explained commissioning production from Three 6 Mafia member DJ Paul. âNo Sick Days, is definitely like my little diamond in the rough,â he said. âWe got some stupid production on thereâŠwe got a little bit of DJ Paul production on there, got some [The Colleagues] production on thereâŠDJ Burn One made one of the tracksâshout out to Burn One, shout out to Rittz [and all of] Slumericanâ[T Stoner] made like six of the bangers on the album, so shout out to T Stoner. Me and Stoner, weâre gonna go in and do all the final mixing on everything and put that little tweaking on everythingâI call it the Paul and Juicy shut the door effectâall the rappers get out the room, shut the door, lock it, and let the magic happen.â
Lil Wyte, who was signed by Three 6 Mafia members DJ Paul and Juicy J before the release of his debut solo album, has worked extensively with the group-members. With his debut, Doubt Me Now, featuring the whole Three 6 Mafia crew in 2003, the rapper continued to work with members like Project Pat and Juicy J following its release. Like his planned No Sick Days release, Wyte has counted several DJ Paul production credits to his discography, including a track on his 2013 collaborative album No Filter with JellyRoll. Â

Continuing with his explanation of the albumâs inspiration, Wyte said that the record, which is scheduled for release on 4/20, will feature âa lot of variety.â âNo Sick Days is the album I made for me,â he said. âItâs for the fans, itâs to make some money, yeah, but this is the first album Iâve done in a long time where I just came to the studio everyday, everynight. Went out to Nashville, hollered at [producer T Stoner] a few times, and just made music that I liked. I donât have nobody above my head telling me âYesâ or âNo,â I donât give a fuck what anybody says. The album is jamming. This is one of the albumsânormally Iâll send [DJ] Paul and Juicy [J] a few tracks to see if they like them and stuffâand I havenât even been doing that on this project. I really just want to surprise everybody and just drop a good, solid album. Itâs got a lot of variety on it, I got Ace on one track, I got [Big E] from Thug Therapy on there, motherfuckers growing up.â
Referencing the albumâs diverse production credits, Wyte simply said he curated beats he liked. âI picked out shit that makes my head bob, âcause if I donât like the shit youâre not gonna like it,â he said. âWe got some straight up house party tracks, we got some straight up gutter tracks, we got some real life situations, we got a cryer on the albumâjust straight about my daughters, some people will feel it, some wonât. Donât matter, I didnât write it for the people who donât feel it. But itâs overall just a feel-good album, I had fun recording it.
âIâm not done,â he added. âSoon as the album drops, Iâm gonna be back in the studio the very next day. Soon as we send this off to fucking press, Iâm not just gonna take a three, four, five, six month break. Thatâs where a lot of people fuck upâand Iâve done it my damn self, like, back in the pastâyou drop an album and you think itâs cool to just take a break. Fuck that, I ainât taking no more breaks. No Sick Days for real.â
