In a surprise announcement today (June 23), Young Thug unveils his latest album, BUSINESS IS BUSINESS. On top of those 15 tracks, the album features more than a dozen other features, such as Drake, 21 Savage, Future, Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert, and more. Additionally, Metro Boomin has been credited with the role of executive producer on the project.
“Parade on Cleveland,” the project’s opening song, contains a phone conversation between Drake and the artist responsible for the hit single “Best Friend,” with the latter in high spirits throughout the call. “There’s nothing I’m doing, man; I’m just pushing more Peter, and I’m pushing it much sweeter, much better than any other Peter pusher around, so do you hear me, this is what I’m saying to my Canadian counterpart, you can’t hear me.\
This album lands on the scene during Thugger’s ongoing legal battle – a battle that stems from a RICO charge that Thugger and a handful of other members of the group Young Stoner Life (YSL) have been charged with. There have been some members of this group, including longtime collaborator Gunna, who have since been released following plea deals they made. As of last Friday (16 June), Gunna, who is known for all the words he uses to describe his music, has released his newest project titled A Gift & a Curse, where he provides his perspective on these issues.
While Young Thug has been back in jail for more than a year, he has remained on the radar from a musical perspective despite his time in prison. In the years before Young Thug was introduced to the world of BUSINESS IS BUSINESS, he appeared on popular songs such as Calvin Harris “Potion,” Lil Baby “Never Hating,” Killer Mike “RUN,” G Herbo “Breathe Slow,” Quavo and Takeoff “Chocolate,” and Rae Sremmurd “Royal Flush.” Accordingly, in July 2022, the Atlanta star sent an audio message to HOT 97 during the festival of Summer Jam on.
“I would just like to take this opportunity to thank all my friends and family for coming out and supporting us on this day,” he said. YSL and I are not the only ones affected by this. Throughout my career, I have used music to express myself artistically, and I now realize that Black artists and rappers are not allowed to do so. Everyone is kindly requested to sign the petition in support of Protect Black Art and to continue to pray for us. All of you are dear to me.”
A new project is expected to be released by Enchanting next month, one that has been confirmed to feature a R&B focus. The Texas-born talent, who’s about to drop his fifth studio album later this spring, has treated fans with the latest preview of what is to come with a brand new single called “Love S**t.” The new single follows up a pair of previous releases. They are “Tell Me Why” and “Keep It Playa.” The newly released track tells the story of the artist’s rocky relationship while an instrumental guitar provides a rousing backdrop.
The latest piece of work from Enchanting was the 2014 release No Luv, a 14-track project that featured features from Gucci Mane, Key Glock, Kali, Coi Leray, and more. In addition to these singles, she has also maintained a loyal following of fans with singles like “What I Want” performed by Jacquees and “Way Back,” which appeared in season two of the popular television series “P-Valley.”
As recently as a few days ago, in an interview with The New York Times, Trap and Blues artist Enchanting Jessye Norman discussed the beginnings of her artistic journey. “ There was a friend of mine, and he had a friend who owned a recording studio, and people knew I had a talent for singing. After high school, I did not post any recordings of my singing. Singing is my natural habitat, and I enjoy it immensely. Throughout the years, I have been involved in a number of aspects of R&B music. My first rapping experience occurred when I signed with Gucci,” she recalled.
Juice WRLD fans have already been treated to a number of singles this year, including “Bye Bye” with Marshmello and “In My Head.” A brand new music video from Grade A Films was released today (Dec. 15) for a track entitled “Face 2 Face.” Steve Cannon directed and edited the cinematic video, which is an artistic rendition of the experience of sleep paralysis. In the track, Juice WRLD describes his most intimate thoughts during a severe episode:
An explanation of sleep paralysis is shown at the end of the video clip in order to provide additional context. When falling asleep, one is temporarily unable to move or speak. As these episodes consist of troubling hallucinations and a sensation of suffocation, the individuals remain conscious throughout, despite experiencing troubling hallucinations.
Earlier this year, Juice WRLD fans got a chance to enjoy his second posthumous release and his fourth studio album Fighting Demons, which was released back in December. There are 18 tracks in total on the album, with featured artists including Justin Bieber, Polo G, Trippie Redd, and BTS member Suga. Due to the fact that 119,000 equivalent album-equivalents were sold in the first week of release, the project has secured the No. 2 spot on the Billboard 200 chart. In later months, the album’s official deluxe upgrade was released, which added five new tracks to the original album.
