This week’s new music releases come with storylines. Here are some of the top music releases for the week of June 23.
Grammy Award-winning gospel artist Damon Little recently released his single “No Stressing,” which features Angie Stone.
Young Thug released his latest album BUSINESS IS BUSINESS while behind bars. The project sounds like unfinished tracks from the YSL star that relies heavy on features from fellow rap stars like Drake, Future, Travis Scott, 21 Savage and Lil Uzi Vert. In a twist, Nate Reuss, the lead singer from the pop group FUN, sang about being arrested in America in the chorus of the final song, “Global Access.” YSL member Lil Gotit has a feature on the album, while Gunna doesn’t. Alleged leaked audio of Thug surfaced online where he shares his plan to drop the same day as Gunna released his album and for any rapper who wanted to respond to Gunna taking an Alford plea deal to respond on his album.
Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice joined forces again to release “Barbie World (with Aqua)” for the Barbie soundtrack. It’s a drill-based flip of Aqua’s 1997 hit “Barbie.”
