Legendary rapper, producer, entrepreneur, and Academy Award winner Juicy J has announced Space Age Pimpin’, his new collaborative album with super-producer and artist Pi’erre Bourne available June 22 that J executive produced. J’s signature grit paired with Bourne’s melodic airy style create an album tailor made for fans of atmospheric Southern Rap. Today, you can hear the first track called “This Fronto,” which has all the makings of a summertime club banger and sets the tone for the album.
As one of the founding members of the legendary Platinum-selling Memphis rap group Three 6 Mafia, Juicy J is credited as one of the founders of Southern rap. His contributions to the sound of the culture over the last three decades have made his influence omnipresent including countless TikTok and social media samples and a RIAA-Diamond certified record for Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse.” Earlier this year, Juicy J and longtime collaborator Wiz Khalifa released their second collaborative LP, Stoner’s Night (executive produced by both guys), which received praise from Complex, XXL, The Source, and more. Juicy J and Three 6 Mafia closed out 2021 with a legendary Verzuz against Bone Thugs N’ Harmony, and did a series of live shows nationwide. The year prior J dropped his first independent release in a decade with The Hustle Continues, which got praise from Vulture, Entertainment Weekly, MTV, Pitchfork, and more. All while producing Megan Thee Stallion’s Platinum break out “Hot Girl Summer” which went #1 on the Billboard Rhythmic charts and became the first female rap collab in history to reach #1 on Apple Music.
