Just a month later, she released her first live album – the critically acclaimed ‘Live at the Troubadour’ – amid reports she was already hard-at-work bringing the life story of Queen of Gospel Mahalia Jackson to screens via a recently announced biopic.

As fans readied themselves for that, it was revealed Leddy was also cooking up a tribute to another music icon: Nina Simone.

After sharing track time over the years on previous tunes ‘Lower Body’ and ‘Blow My Mind,’ hitmakers Davido and Chris Brown reunite for the equally bopping new single, ‘Shopping Spree.’

Found on the former’s 2020 album, ‘A Better Time,’ ‘Spree’ also sees the cross-cultural duo get by with a little help from friend Young Thug (who Davido also previously collaborated with on the tune ‘Pere’).

The Masterdon-produced cut sees the trio brag about how they plan to splurge on the special ladies in their lives.

“Keep bendin’ up with the vibe, yeah / F*ck me like a slut and be the wife / Articulatin’, said she tryna ride / I told her ‘make a wish,’ she gon’ be mine, yeah / Bring me your love, you better not die,” raps Thug.

Now, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) is showering the hits with even more good news.

Lil Nas X has new music on the way and utilized a super creative means to trumpet its arrival.

The chart-topping star is gearing up for the release of single ‘Industry Baby’ this Friday (July 23) and lifted the lid on the news by way of a mock trial.
