UK rapper and Afroswing pioneer J Hus has announced that he’ll follow 2020’s excellent Big Conspiracy with a new album, Beautiful and Brutal Yard, on July 14 via Black Butter (pre-order). According to a press release, the album title is “named after the patois influenced slang term for home [and is] a reference to the two sides of Hus and his heart,” and it also intentionally is an acronym for “BABY.” The album includes the two great singles he recently put out, “It’s Crazy” and “Who Told You” (ft. Drake), and other guests on the album are Jorja Smith, Popcaan, Burna Boy, Naira Marley, Villz, CB, and Boss Belly.
Listen to both singles and check out the 19-song tracklist and artwork below. J Hus also announced new UK/Europe dates and those are listed below as well.
