Coi Leray's New EP 'Now or Never' Is Here
Joined by the premiere of her “Do Better” music video.
New Jersey-bred rapper and pop star Coi Leray has released her new EP, Now or Never. The six-track record, which follows the emerging artist’s 2019 project EC2, arrives with a number of A-list features. In addition to a collaboration with Fetty Wap, “Better Days,” the 23-year-old has enlisted Gunna to appear on her lead single “Slide,” as well as Kiana Ledé and Sevyn Streeter for the sultry late-night anthem “I Like It.”
Accompanying the launch of Leray’s latest EP is the official music video for her motivational single “Do Better,” in which the singer is seen leading her team to victory in a flag football game. Watch the visual above.
Here, the Republic Records signee answers a series of quick-fire questions about her summer music favorites, her YouTube food show “Cooking with Coi Leray” and of course, her new EP that is now available to stream on Apple Music and Spotify.
