Lil Durk – The Voice (Deluxe)

Just one month after the release of the original album, Chicago rapper, Lil Durk, returns with a deluxe edition of “The Voice.”
The 28-track extended collection features 12 additional songs including collaborations with Lil Baby, Pooh Shiesty, and Sydny August.

Following the release, Durk goes to explain exactly what he means by the album title:
“When I be saying I’m the voice, I don’t be tryna like, tryna run n*ggas or tell ’em what to do or nothing like that. I just feel that the streets’ll listen to me, and I’m saying that shit different.”

Fredo – Money Can’t Buy Happiness

After a long wait, West London rapper, Fredo, finally dropped his sophomore album – ‘’Money Can’t Buy Happiness’’.

Explaining why the album took such a long time to drop, Fredo says:
“I want to apologise for the wait. I had a whole different style album that didn’t really mean anything to me. Meanwhile a lot was going on in life that I was angry and confused about…”

“Money Can’t Buy Happiness” follows recently released singles – “Scorpion” and “What Can I Say.” The album sees Fredo bringing on board guest appearances from Pop Smoke, Santan Dave, Young Adz on Burner On Deck and Summer Walker.

I’m excited to give fans a new body of work that truly embodies who I am and what I stand for.”
