Jhene Aiko Celebrates 10 Years Of “Souled Out” With Reissue Featuring Unreleased Songs

by

Jhene Aiko has shared a new version of her debut studio album, Souled Out, featuring two unreleased songs, “You vs. Them (Acoustic)” and “Beautiful Ruin.” When she first dropped the project, it debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200, selling 70,000 copies. The tracklist features the singles “To Love & Die,” “The Pressure,” and “Spotless Mind.” She collaborated on songs with Cocaine 80s, Common, and more. The track, “Promises,” features her daughter, Namiko. Across the album, Aiko sings about relationships and life lessons while transforming a perspective on heartbreak.

Outside of music, Aiko has been making headlines for her relationship with Big Sean. Appearing on the podcast, Out of Context, last month, Sean explained why the two, who have been dating for years, aren’t ready for marriage just yet. “But just like to be real with you, just like any people who have dealt with love, we’ve had our ups and downs, you know what I’m saying?” he said at the time. “And I think it’s still finding the right navigation through it all.” The two are also reportedly preparing to work on another TWENTY88 collaborative album. Check out Aiko’s latest release below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Jhene Aiko on HotNewHipHop.

The Notorious B.I.G.’s Estate Preps For 30th Anniversary Reissue Of “Ready To Die” With “For The Respect” EP

by

There’s no doubt that The Notorious B.I.G. made one of the most lauded and beloved hip-hop albums of all time with Ready to Die. It’s a pure masterclass in East Coast hip-hop, flows, and production choices. Even though it was released back in 1994, it still sounds quite timeless, which is just another reason why its regarded as a true classic. You could poo-poo this fact, but the album has also been quite successful during the streaming era. It’s got well over a few billion streams overall with iconic tracks such as “Gimme the Loot”, “Juicy”, “Warning”, “Big Poppa”, all over 100 million plays. Over the years, Ready to Die has received a handful of remasters both in 2005 and 2015, respectively. Interestingly, though, his debut project has never received a unique anniversary edition. Life After Death received one for its 25th back in 2022, but now it’s Ready to Die‘s time.

Back in July, multiple reports, including one from Yahoo!, revealed that a special 30th anniversary copy would be released on the 13th of September, the drop date for the original back in ’94. It will be a “limited-edition 2-LP reissue” and “will feature a reimagined cover art featuring a photo of Biggie Smalls, the late Brooklyn rapper’s G subway stop and the Brooklyn Bridge”. There will be a black vinyl available on Rhino which is Biggie’s website. Additionally, “Barnes & Noble will also have a color vinyl edition for sale on the same day”. But before that happens, his estate has released an EP called Ready To Die: For The Respect, which features six tracks from the original.
