Taylor Bennett Unveils New Album Time After Youth: A Creative Evolution

Chicago’s own Taylor Bennett—artist, entrepreneur, and music exec—has dropped his new album, *Time After Youth (T.A.Y.)*, out everywhere today. Known for championing independence and ownership, he’s once again doing things his way, releasing the project through his own label, Tay Bennett Entertainment. The 10-track album finds Taylor at his most versatile, blending different styles of hip-hop into a sound that’s hard to pin down but still flows together seamlessly. *Time After Youth (T.A.Y.)* is streaming now on all platforms.

Taylor Bennett’s evolution on Time After Youth mirrors the discipline and intentionality that define his life beyond music. Balancing artistry, management, and entrepreneurship, Taylor has built a routine centered around fitness, mental clarity, and consistency, treating exercise as both a physical outlet and a grounding force amid the demands of the industry. Whether running through the city or training in the gym six to seven days a week, that structure has become essential to navigating an otherwise unpredictable lifestyle. That same mindset carries directly into Time After Youth, a project rooted in growth, vulnerability, and self-awareness that finds Taylor delivering some of his most mature and emotionally transparent music to date while stepping confidently into a new era both personally and creatively.
To tease the project, Taylor recently released the Chicago-rooted, star-studded visual for “T.B.E. (The Best Ever),” featuring DJ Pharris alongside appearances from his family, King Louie, Twista, and more. The record offers a glimpse into Taylor’s expanding world as both artist and executive, reflecting the larger vision behind Tay Bennett Entertainment (TBE), the independent platform he continues building while managing artists including his older brother Chance the Rapper, Adamn Killa, and Lil Mu. Inspired by figures like Berry Gordy, Clarence Avant, and Michael Jackson, Taylor continues prioritizing ownership, independence, and long-term vision across every aspect of his career.
With Time After Youth, Taylor Bennett delivers his most intentional and fully realized body of work to date, one that reflects personal growth, creative evolution, and the mindset of an artist building far beyond the music itself. As he continues expanding TBE and advocating for ownership, financial literacy, and generational opportunity within music, the project marks another step forward for a creative carving his own lane entirely on his own terms.
