Troy Ave Wants Fans to “Appreciate Me” on New Track

Days after announcing he would be suing Live Nation and Irving Plaza for allowing guns into the venue the fateful night he was shot and his bodyguard Banga was killed, Troy Ave has released a new song called "Appreciate Me." You can hear the song, produced by Robbie Nova, Yankee and Trilogy above.

The song is off Troy's upcoming album Roland Collins dropping this Friday (Aug. 10).

He's certainly taking advantage of the mainstream news coverage surround his attempted murder case. When he was initially arrested, it only took days for him to put out his Free Troy Ave mixtape, and on the intro he phones in a freestyle from jail: ""Pussy niggaa tried to assassinate me / I took the gun from him and turned the tables 'round like a G."

At a press conference on Monday (Aug. 8), Troy Ave and his law counsel officially announced that they'd be pressing charges against Irving Plaza and the owners of the venue Live Nation for the lax security that led to the shooting.

“Had the defendants [Irving Plaza and Live Nation] and/or their security personnel taken the most rudimentary security measures in patting down individuals seeking entry into Irving Plaza and/or requiring such individuals to go through a metal detector,” writes Troy’s legal team in the lawsuit, “the subject incident and the resultant life changing injuries suffered by the plaintiff would have never occurred.”
