A new month, a new commonplace time as of yesterday and some new music kick issues off for a very fresh-feeling start to the week.
2 Chainz has a approach of flowing effortlessly over the silkiest beats, so working alongside veteran beat grasp Statik Selektah makes for the proper pairing. On December 4, we’ll hear the 2 collaborate over a full-length project on the upcoming release of Playaz Only Live Once, with Statik handling manufacturing and the Southern rap icon dropping bars over boom-bap. The lead single, “A Week In Paris,” is a great testomony to the synergy they’ve in the sales space. The languid instrumental loops with a nostalgic melody as 2 Chainz raps about the luxuries that come with being one of the largest and most constant emcees of his era. The accompany video has a related slow tempo with a backdrop that brings the tune title full circle.

Kirk Franklin delivered a true blessing this week with the arrival of his latest album, I Am What I Am. Ever since his breakout 1997 hit single, “Stomp,” the gospel pioneer has change into the prototype for including a trendy edge to Christian music. He stays true to fashion this time around, highlighted by an experimental collab with nation rap star Jelly Roll, a lead single with GloRilla that reveals the feminine emcee in a holy new gentle, Afrobeats alongside Davido and a headbanger with (*2*)Tobe Nwigwe. A second disc comprised of live recordings is where he will get back to fundamentals, bringing us to church with a choir in tow, an look by Tim Rogers and the album’s standout duet with Karen Clark-Sheard.
Mariah Carey is getting back justice for a first rate album in her catalog that drastically suffered during its initial run due to an ill-fated release date on September 11, 2001 and the poorly-received movie it was connected to. As Glitter turns 25, MC determined to preempt her annual vacation takeover with an anniversary re-release that consists of a whopping 15 extra tracks — rares, unreleased, remixes and collabs with Channel Tres and Rochelle Jordan are sure to keep the Lambs glad. Getting a 4K restoration of her music video for the fan-favorite single, “Loverboy,” was a deal with all on its own.
Also in the combination consists of Coi Leray linking with Lucky Daye, a new album by BigXthaPlug, Conway the Machine coming through with a haunting new single, Curren$y and Harry Fraud at it again with help from Rome Streetz, a new project from BKTHERULA, a contact of gold from Yung Bleu and a serenading single by Snoh Aalegra.
