Before he drops the long-player version of Kola La Vie this June, MadKem offers his fans a free extended-play version to hold y’all over. Stream/download after the jump.

With production provided by DroP Beats, MadKem releases the latest single from his upcoming project, Kola La Vie, due out February 19th.

A little over a year after dropping his debut LP Charles Workman, MadKem is back with some new’ness.

Drawing inspiration from Pablo Picasso’s Blue Period, La Vie en Bleu, was created as means to convey MadKem’s experiences and thoughts since his debut. “Life is often about finding a balance between highs and lows” says Queens native, MadKem. “It’s a ying & yang thing. La Vie en Bleu will ultimately be paired with another LP, Kola La Vie, and tell one big story. La Vie En Bleu sets the stange and is my world through shades of blue.” he says. The result of this extended play is a combination of storytelling, self-reflection and some braggadocio inspired by life’s difficult moments. “All of the songs aren’t necessarily somber”, he explains. “However, they were all born from feelings of frustration & despair, whether personal experiences or observations of everyday life.”
