Grammy-winning singer/songwriter & rap legend EVERLAST, known as a member of the legendary crew RHYME SYNDICATE, which laid the foundation for West Coast hip-hop, and HOUSE OF PAIN, which dominated 90s dance floors with the global hit "Jump Around," announced the release of his new album 'Embers to Ashes' on Friday, August 28, 2026, after an eight-year hiatus. Pre-orders began today.
Additionally, a new single "My Hollywood" from the highly anticipated new work has been released. "My Hollywood," depicted with a frank, delicate, and sometimes humorous perspective, explores the successes and setbacks in the entertainment industry, portraying its light and shadow from a lighter and more approachable viewpoint. It realistically captures the emotional ups and downs behind success while also expressing the strength to overcome them.
Everlast - "My Hollywood" (Released April 24, 23:00 JST)
Everlast, also known as Erik "Everlast" Schrody, states:
"'My Hollywood' is a song that depicts the ups and downs of success in the entertainment world with a slightly relaxed feeling. This album is a collection of songs based on my experiences over the past decade, and while it's not a complete autobiography, it's inspired by confusion, loss, and some successes."
The upcoming album 'Embers to Ashes' is also inspired by experiences from the past 10 years, unfolding a story that blurs the lines between real-life experiences and creation, interwoven with events such as confusion, loss, and achievements gained through hardship. The album is produced by Alabama-born rapper Yelawolf. It will be a work that depicts the glory, loss, and turning points of life with a sound that fuses Americana, blues, and rock.
