Anderson .Paak and Cordae have announced a new collaborative album, Heavy Is the Crown, arriving October 23rd via APESHIT/Mass Appeal/EMPIRE. Watch the project’s trailer below.
The record builds on a partnership that dates back to “RNP,” their collab on Cordae’s 2019 debut album, The Lost Boy. The pair have reunited a few times since then on “Two Tens” and “Summer Drop,” a performance at the BET Awards, and on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. For Heavy Is the Crown, they’ve leaned into that brotherhood even further, with album artwork playing off the iconic 2008 comedy Step Brothers.
Physical copies of Heavy Is the Crown are currently available for pre-order, including an Amazon-exclusive vinyl. .Paak is also currently on the road with Bruno Mars‘ “The Romantic Tour,” opening shows under his DJ Pee .Wee moniker and joining Mars during the headlining set for a run of their Silk Sonic songs.
