Just weeks after news hit that Nick Cannon would be hanging up his talk show mic, the multi-hyphenate star is returning attention to his first love: music.

In what comes as his first musical body of work since 2020’s ‘The Miseducation of the Negro You Love to Hate,’ ‘Raw & B: The Explicit Tape’ – Cannon’s latest effort (released May 20) – collects a who’s who of R&B and Hip-Hop stars for its 14 tracks (nine of which contain features).

Calling on the likes of Brandy, Rick Ross, Chris Brown, K. Michelle, Jacquees, and more to assist, the project lives up to its title as it contains a number of tunes that leave little to the imagination.  However, it’s also balanced by cuts that speak of Cannon’s personal life – namely as it pertains to personal and professional growth, fatherhood, and more.
