“Whoopty” rapper CJ surprised us all with his debut album last night titled Loyalty Over Royalty. The debut album features 8 tracks in all, including 6 unreleased songs from CJ and a feature from French Montana. CJ told us back in December that he had some hits in the chamber and he wasn’t lying! The album is full of bass-heavy anthems that will be sure to have your head rocking all weekend.
Trippie Redd dropped his highly anticipated Neon Shark vs Pegasus. The album includes 14 tracks and is executive produced by Travis Barker. Travis Barker has been a longtime hip-hop fan as he’s worked with Lupe Fiasco, RZA, Pharrell, and others.
On Wednesday, AJR released a single, “Way Less Sad.” The song is to be featured on their upcoming album OK Orchestra, which will be released next month on March 26th. OK Orchestra will be AJR’s fourth full-length album release. When talking about “Way Less Sad” the band said it “is a song about how we’re really feeling in this moment.” The upcoming album is said to be the most emotionally raw release by the band yet.
A remix of “Gasoline” by Haim featuring Taylor Swift was released yesterday. The first confirmation of the collaboration between the two artists for this track came on Wednesday, when Haim posted a teaser of the remix on TikTok. The video on TikTok showed the band hopping into a car, and turning up the stereo, which was playing the remix of “Gasoline.”
17 year old, up and coming pop artist, Isaac Dunbar released his EP Evil Twin today. When asked about his EP, Dunbar said “This record is about all of the emotions that make up the concept of love. there are so many things that go into it when in a relationship, whether platonic or romantic: anger, confusion, bliss, and despair.” Even at such a young age, this will mark the fourth EP released by Dunbar.
