Jhene Aiko – For My Brother (Audio)

Midway through the first listen, I found myself drying off the sides of my face with my hands. The beautiful thing about death is that the once the person leaves this Earth their suffering ends. Death is never easy for those who stay behind. Def Jam songstress Jhene Aiko has released a dedication track to her brother who recently passed away from cancer at the young age of 26. “I know nothing lasts forever but I don’t want this to end,” sings Jhene. Rest in Peace Miyagi.

2 Chainz – Based On A T.R.U. Story (Artwork + Tracklist)

I think my favorite thing in the world right now is the subtle difference between the regular and deluxe album covers. Nothing screams out deluxe like a red satin Chanel jacket. According to Billboard, 2 Chainz enlisted Kanye West and his creative team at DONDA to develop the image for his album cover. “This is curated art. The Louvre of rap.” Less is more anyways, right? Based on a T.R.U. Story is out in stores August 14th and the edition with the pretty jacket on the cover will contain an additional four songs.

I’m done hyping the cover. Check it out for yourself after the jump.

UPDATE: Tracklist included below.
