Yung Bleu drops his new album “Moon Boy” feat Kodak Black, Drake & others.
After giving us a few singles, Yung Bleu has officially released his debut album called “Moon Boy“. The project features a pack of 15 records with star-studded guest appearances from Drake on “You’re Mines Still” remix, Moneybagg Yo & Kodak Black on “Angels Never Cry”, Big Sean on “Way More Close”, Kehlani on “Beautiful Lies”, Jeezy on “Shoe Box”, Gunna on “Waterworks” and more.
In the latest interview with Billboard, Yung Bleu talks about his collaboration with Drake. “Even when I dropped the record and put it out for the city, I said ‘Drake would kill this,’ because I was thinking of a feature to put on it,” Bleu said. “I just ended up putting it out, and it just happened. I always believed in myself and knowing the kind of music that I make. It’s always just getting the right ear to hear it.”
Prior to the release of the album, Bleu announced that he will be embarking on a North American tour. It will begin on August 16 in Minneapolis and will go to major cities such as Chicago, New York, Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, and others.
Since taking the jump into full-fledged independence, Bleu has gone on to achieve significant feats like as collaborating with some of the industry’s greatest stars and having his Drake-infused smash single, “You’re Mine Still,” reach platinum.
The rapper, on the other hand, has a couple of mixtapes and R&B albums under his belt, and despite reverting to independent status, Bleu has built a thriving career.
Following the release of his music video for “Baddest,” which features Chris Brown, the Alabama native has announced a 38-city tour that will begin in Minnesota and end in Washington. Fans will have just enough time to consume Moon Boy and learn every song before the tour arrives in their city.
When it was released, the album received mostly good reviews from music reviewers. AllMusic’s Fred Thomas praised the trapper’s varied range, calling it “rare for a trapper.” “The album meanders somewhat through its various styles, and there are several less memorable tracks among the stronger material, but Moon Boy ultimately gels regardless.”
