Alongside the announcement, the duo are also sharing the album\u2019s lead single \u201cWhen I\u2019m Home\u201d and a corresponding blue-hued music video directed by Marissa Blair. The single encapsulates the eclectic nature of the duo\u2019s collaboration across this album, bringing unsuspecting new elements of their artistry out of each other. Real Bad Man\u2019s versatile palette of production blends into Neo-Soul on \u201cWhen I\u2019m Home\u201d, matched by a silky, pitched-up vocal delivery by TOBi that weaves between rapping and singing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"TOBi &amp; Real Bad Man &quot;When I&#039;m Home&quot; (Official Music Video)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ei4XrFaIlY0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"TOBi &amp; Real Bad Man &quot;When I&#039;m Home&quot; (Official Music Video)\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ei4XrFaIlY0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Perfect Blue is a capstone moment for a wildly prolific 2025 for Real Bad Man, who released collaborative albums with ZelooperZ, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/tag\/boldy-james\/\"><strong>Boldy James<\/strong><\/a><\/span>, <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/tag\/willie-the-kid\/\"><strong>Willie The Kid<\/strong><\/a><\/span> and Genevieve Artadi over the course of the year. His work with TOBi is eclectic and boundless, jumping from straightforward and unflinchingly personal rap moments, to uptempo dancefloor-ready jams and R&amp;B moments that challenge the Toronto native to confidently dive into singing hooks with conviction. The Perfect Blue initially begin as a straightforward rap record and through their chemistry in the studio, the album opened up their freedom to explore uncharted territory for them both.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nigerian-born, Toronto-raised artist TOBi has carved out a distinct lane for himself with a celebrated discography of releases that explore themes of vulnerability, self-reflection and contemporary masculinity with a pointed nuance. His 2023 album <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a style=\"color: #ff0000;\" href=\"https:\/\/rapindustry.com\/tobi-panic-album\/\"><strong>PANIC<\/strong><\/a><\/span> swept the rap categories (Best Rap Album, Best Rap Single for \u201cSomeone I Knew\u201d) at the 2024 JUNO Awards and his catalog has been praised by the likes of Billboard, Rolling Stone, i-D and more. Expanding on his ELEMENTS project series with the second volume released earlier this year to high praise, The Perfect Blue cements TOBi\u2019s bonafides as an adept collaborator.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Having established himself as an accomplished stalwart figure in underground hip-hop, Real Bad Man is proving with each new project this year that his production can\u2019t be limited by genre and his work adapts to the artist he\u2019s working alongside. From the experimental electro-pop and new wave influence of Everything Is Under Control with Genevieve Artadi, to the tripped-out psychedelia of Dear Psilocybin with ZelooperZ, it\u2019s now clear that Real Bad Man has a versatile repertoire deserving of an equally diverse set of collaborators.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Real Bad Man &amp; TOBi |\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Perfect Blue<\/span><\/strong><br \/><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Real Bad Man Records,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">November 14th, 2025<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1.
