Big Gigantic have shared their latest all-star collaboration, "Just The Same (With Vic Mensa & Mick Jenkins)," available now at all DSPs and streaming services. The track is from the genre-bending Boulder, CO-based duo's eagerly awaited eighth studio album, Brighter Future 2, arriving everywhere on Friday, June 10.
All pre-saves/pre-adds will be entered to win four tickets to any Big Gigantic show in 2022. In addition, a limited edition double LP printed on 180g light blue galaxy vinyl is available for pre-order exclusively at the official Big Gigantic webstore.
"We're excited to bring two of Chicago's own, Vic Mensa and Mick Jenkins, together on the same song with this hard-hitting beat and feel good sample," says Big Gigantic's Dominic Lalli. "A song about two people from the same place with two different point of views."
Brighter Future 2 also includes such recently released singles as "Deja Vu (with KOTA The Friend)," Big Gigantic x GRiZ's mesmerizing "Open Your Mind," and "Keep On Rising (with. Aloe Blacc)," the latter marking the duo's first collaboration with GRAMMY® Award-nominated rapper Aloe Blacc in more than a decade. Official music videos for all three tracks are streaming now at YouTube.
Big Gigantic will celebrate Brighter Future 2 with a wide-ranging live schedule, including a number of newly announced summer dates beginning July 6 at Salt Lake City, UT's The Complex, and then continuing through the month.
