Multi-talented British producer and artist TroyBoi has announced his debut album LEFT IS RIGHT is set to be released Friday, August 25 via T dot Music. Yesterday (7/27), the album's latest single "What You Know" premiered via COMPLEX where Edwin Ortiz touted "TroyBoi is gearing up to release his debut album, Left Is Right, and he's sitting on some heat. Case in point, 'What You Know,' which will wreck you in the best way possible. There's an innocent, slow build at the beginning, but don't let that distract you from the hammer of a drop that comes on the hook."

Check out TroyBoi's "What You Know":
"Left Is Right represents taking the alternate route in multiple aspects; creating your own lane, but still achieving the end goal no matter the risks. My music is quite hard to place into one genre and is considered 'left' of center, but in my mind it works and feels 'right,'" TroyBoi told to 1001 Track Lists earlier this month (July 6).
The 16-track album from one of Billboard Dance's Artists to Watch in 2017 includes some of his more recent menacing productions including "Hooper" featuring Healthy Chill, "Do You?," "O.G." and "Mantra," as well and fresh cuts "B.I.A.," "Kurta Kente" and "KINJABANG" which has been currently used by America's Best Dance Crew performers The Kinjaz. There are even appearances from Ice Cube on "Look At Me" and "Interlude-Jam Sessions" with his mentor, songwriter-producer Jim Beanz (Empire, The Simpsons, Rihanna).
To support the album, TroyBoi returns to the road later this summer with his 'Left Is Right' North American Tour (see dates below), performing an all original music set comprised of new music from LEFT IS RIGHT. TroyBoi will also make an appearances at Red Rocks Amphitheater on Colorado September 10 and Life Is Beautiful Festival in Las Vegas September 24.
