Juicy J Drops New Jazz-Inspired Album With Robert Glasper & Other Guests

Juicy J effortlessly blends the sounds of Jazz and classic Hip-Hop on his brand-new album.

The Memphis native delivered his latest project Ravenite Social Club via Trippy Music on Tuesday, August 27. Juicy J takes a road less traveled by cooking up a fresh batch of hits that fuses traditional Jazz piano, horns, and other soothing instruments with some hard-hitting trap beats. In honor of the album’s release, Juicy J dropped the visuals for “To You” featuring Grammy award-winning artist Robert Glasper and Emi Secrest. It’s an emotional ode to his fallen Three 6 Mafia members Gangsta Boo, Lord Infamous and Koopsta Knicca.

“This song is dedicated to the greatest rap group of all times Three 6 Mafia,” Juicy said about the record on Instagram.

In addition to Glasper and Secrest, the rapper and author also enlisted Cordae for their jazzy rap hit “Suicide Doors.” Juicy J announced the project last week and has been dropping gems about the album ever since. He revealed legends like Herbie Hancock and Louis Armstrong were his personal inspirations while making the project as well as Grammy award-winning Jazz artist Samara Joy and Gregory Porter. He also said “Everything’s All Good” is his favorite song from the album because he mentions his family a lot on the track.

The purpose of the album was to curate a jazz club vibe, and he did just that. The 17-track LP is his most diverse project yet. Listen to the album on iHeartRadio now and watch the official music video for “To You” below.
