Fat Joe has finally lifted the lid on his serially delayed album, ‘Family Ties.’

In addition to being produced solely by Dre (of the production team Cool & Dre), the effort is officially credited as a joint album between the hitmaker and Joe.

Boasting a star-studded guest list containing names like Mary J. Blige, Cardi B, Eminem, Lil Wayne, Remy Ma, and many more,  the 11-song affair hit digital and streaming platforms Friday (December 6) and will go head-to-head with Camila Cabello and French Montana‘s new releases for Billboard’s top spot.

Does Joe have what it takes to come out on top?  Listen to his new album inside and tell us:

It’s been 12 years since Taylor Swift released her Christmas EP, ‘Sounds of the Season: The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection,’ but now the Pop diva is giving her beloved fans (affectionately called #Swifties) a new addition to add to their Taylor holiday playlist.

Titled ‘Christmas Tree Farm,’ the recently announced tune comes as an ode to the singer’s childhood (as she grew up on a farm in Pennsylvania before her family moved to Nashville).  Delivered just in time for her feature on this year’s iHeartRadio Jingle Ball tour lineup (as we reported here), ‘Farm’s arrival gives fans just enough time to get acquainted with the number before it (hopefully) makes its live debut.

After months of teasing and promotion via the release of a number of its tracks (see:  ‘Shameless,’ ‘Liar,’ ‘Senorita,’ ‘Easy,’ ‘Living Proof,’ and more), Camila Cabello has finally unleashed her long-awaited sophomore LP, ‘Romance.’

Much like its predecessor, her chart-topping self-titled debut album, the project is filled with radio-friendly Pop that is colored with elements of Rock, Latin, and Dance fusions – a kaleidoscope of sounds that easily makes the 22-year-old one of the most sonically versatile in her class of Pop stars.  Despite that critical acclaim, the contents of ‘Romance’ – unlike that of ‘Camila’ (the album) – have not gotten much love on the Billboard Hot 100.

Failing to crack the top 50 with any of its singles (barring the Shawn Mendes-led ‘Senorita’), the lack of buzz for the opus could certainly spell worrying for its first week sales.  Will a listen to the effort in full save Cabello from the dreaded sophomore slump?
