Chinx "Legends Never Die" Album Pushed Back
June 4, 2016 | 10:00 AM
According to the iTunes pre-order, Legends Never Die is now set to drop August 5.
The LP is to be made up of 14 tracks, including the single "For The Love" with Meet Sims.
His team posted to his Instagram account two weeks ago to explain the purpose of releasing a second posthumous album. Welcome To JFK was released in August.
"It’s unfortunate that we live in a society where it’s easier to take a life, than help one another pursue dreams," the post says. "Chinx embodied the essence of hip-hop and continues to maintain relevance in the music industry even after a year’s time. It is our hope that much like Welcome To JFK, his sophomore project, Legends Never Die will exemplify what it means to be a lasting, classic name in the industry. Our goal is to let the cowards know while they may have taken his physical life, his spirit lives on and speaks to us all, through his music. We will continue to serve his legacy well with quality street music and make it hard out here for you haters. #YAY #JUSTICEFORCHINX #LONGLIVECHINX#LEGENDSNEVERDIE #TRMG #FOURKINGS"
Chinx was murdered last May in Queens, New York. The case is unsolved.

A year after his death in Queens, New York in May 2015, Chinx is to be honored by his team with the release of a second posthumous album, Legends Never Die. The news of the LP comes on the late Coke Boys rapper's Instagram account with a post to promote the project's first single, "For the Love," which features Meet Sims.
"New Music! Available Now!" the post says. "'For The Love' (feat. @MeetSims) - Single by https://itun.es/us/u8wPbb New Album 'Legends Never Die' Coming Soon!#yay #longlivechinx #justiceforchinx"
Chinx's debut album, Welcome to JFK, was released in August, three months after he was shot and killed in what is still an unsolved case.
The late rapper has appeared on various projects since his death, including French Montana's Wave Gods and Prodigy's R.I.P.
"I’ve never met a person with a stronger sense of loyalty and knowledge of self, understanding who he is and what he brought to the table and what was necessary to take his craft to the next level," Biggs, Chinx's manager said to HipHopDX about the rapper's legacy. "Outside of the creativity, he just brought a passion to the table to win. Again, he didn’t come from the best of circumstances and he wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but he learned how to take the lemons that life gave him and make lemonade. He really became a master at that. There’s so many politics in the game and in this business and industry, oftentimes you have to smile when you don’t want to smile. He had learned how to shake the hand and kiss the babies and he was definitely setting himself up to win and make sure that his team won."
Listen to "For the Love" on Apple Music.
