SZA’s debut is due tomorrow, and to help keep the music world buzzing she dropped “Babylon” featuring TDE MVP Kendrick Lamar.
Really pumped for this full album. Take a listen below and let us know what you think. Prefer this track or the Chance the Rapper one?

Monumental news from Jay-Z during half time of the Heat/Spurs Finals game: Jay’s long-time rumored new album will be released July 4th.
