"FOR A LIFETIME" is another entry in Taj Austin's ongoing solo series, in which the Los Angeles MC pairs himself with a different producer each time. This installment is produced by Callus and Malachi. Austin describes the series as a place to push art in ways that move his spirit, and the lineup so far bears that out as a rotating cast of beatmakers rather than a single sound. The series opened with "JUST BLUE," produced by Rzu, and has since brought in Khrysis and Jake One, whose "GODBODY FOLKLORE" was the third entry. Austin is one of four MCs in Coast Contra, alongside his twin brother Ras Austin, RioLoz and Eric Jamal. The group released its debut album Apt. 505 in 2022 and followed it in 2025 with two EPs, The Fifth and In Case You Forgot, both produced by Marco Polo. The series moves that partnership model to a solo footing, pairing Austin with a new producer for each entry while he stays the constant voice. Callus and Malachi extend the list of names he has worked with in the series, and Austin invites other artists to email him about features.
