Teasing it as his ‘sexiest yet’ (as we reported here), the EGOT winner’s not let the global health crisis slow down his support of the opus as he’s touched down on most major television and radio platforms in the past months to discuss the LP (which serves as his first since 2016’s ‘Darkness & Light’).

A month after revealing the Raphael Saadiq-produced project would hit shelves June 19, Legend’s taken to Instagram to unveil its official artwork and full track list.

Tekashi 6ix9ine continues to serve as one of Hip-Hop’s most polarizing figures.

Because, while he commands a large legion of fans, he’s receiving little support from his contemporaries. Many of whom have slammed him for being a “rat” informant. A label linked to his much publisized legal woes.

In a fiery rant, he unleashed on Future – who he accuses of being inauthentic and not taking care of his children. He also had choice words for Meek Mill – stressing that both rappers rely on Drake for hits. Ouch.

Produced by Seth In The Kitchen, the revised version of the smash sees DaBaby declare that his community is “all fed up [and] coming back for everything.”

The lyrics align with DaBaby’s expressed goal of using his label, Billion Dollar Baby Ent, to help dismantle systemic racism.
