B.o.B has a handful of new projects in the works, which may include a joint album with T.I. Last Friday (May 15th), the rapper hopped on XXL‘s Moments of Clarity podcast to discuss what’s been up to in quarantine, including working on a ton of new music. Along with a joint project with Sonny Digital and a solo album titled Somnia, B.o.B hinted at his potential plans to put out a collaborative album with T.I.

“I’m making like three albums at the same time,” he said around the 2:00 mark. “I’m working on a project—me and Sonny Digital working on an album. I just finished my album, Somnia. I just—there’s rumours me and T.I. might be working on an album. I don’t know man. I’m working on a lot of sh*t.”

Later on in the conversation (1:05:00), B.o.B elaborates on his forthcoming music. “I’m working on a project with Sonny Digital, like a duo project,” he repeats. “I also just finished…my most recent album, Somnia, I just completed that…Music is on the way. Somnia‘s on the way. B.o.B x Sonny Digital’s on the way—Bobby Digital. And I got a couple more shits up my sleeve. But I got a lot of music though, a lot of music coming.”

If a collaborative album does pan out with T.I., it would mark the rappers first joint effort together. However, the two of them have linked up in the past on tracks such as “Chosen,” “We Still in This B*tch,” “Problems” and more.

Do you want to see these two join forces on a project?

Jay Electronica fans have somehow clung to the notion that patience is indeed a virtue. And up until a few weeks ago, it seemed an entirely thankless one. That all changed with the announcement of Jay Electronica’s long-awaited debut album A Written Testimony, a project recorded in 40 days and 40 nights and scheduled for a March 16th arrival date. In his reveal Tweet, Electronica promised Jay-Z’s presence, though he neglected to expand beyond that. Now, Onsmash has claimed that there will be more Hov than initially expected.

According to their report, A Written Testimony is something like a spiritual successor to Watch The Throne, albeit not quite a full-fledged collaboration album. They declare that the Jigga Man will be blessing over seven tracks, making this his most highly involved release since 2018 Beyonce collaboration album Everything Is Love. As of now, neither of the Jays have confirmed these reports, though should the intel prove correct, fans are in for a genuine treat. Especially given that longtime Hov collaborator Young Guru is set to handle much of the production. 

Look for Jay Electronica’s anticipated first album (after over a decade in the game) to arrive on March 16th, featuring a healthy dose of Jay-Z throughout. Given the pedigree of both lyricists, might we have a modern-day classic album on our hands?
