NEW RELEASES
Hardrock is currently gearing up to release his anxiously awaited upcoming album, Slimey Fella. The project is slated for release on June 27, and while fans still have a few more days until they can hear it in full, the Atlanta artist decided to give them a taste of what's to come. Last week, he delivered his new track "Biggest Soldier" alongside an accompanying music video.
The laid-back, summer-ready single features bold lyrics about clashing with opps, women, and more. It serves as a solid preview of what listeners can expect on his upcoming LP, and follows various other teasers Hardrock has dropped off in recent months.
After announcing the name of the project back in February, for example, he unveiled a snippet called "MOVIN.” Just a few days later, he teased another song called "4LIFE.” He's since previewed tracks called “Pour It Up”, “Red Guts,” “How I Hit”, and more. In May, he also shared a music video on X for his song “LAZARBEAM."
In a tweet posted that same month, he set the bar for his upcoming project high, telling his supporters "album finna fuk they heads up.. they ain ready."
Following the release of his latest song, he also took to X to hype up Slimey Fella. "BIGGEST SOLDIER OUT NOW!," he wrote. "Album very fkn soon. Like dis month Soon."
Slimey Fella will follow his debut album 1of1, along with his sophomore album, My Gift To You.
Quotable Lyrics:
In the field, b*tch I'm playin' ball just like a jock (Just like jock)
Check the time, it don't matter, b*tch, this sh*t don't stop (Sh*t don't stop)
NEW RELEASES
Jessie J has unveiled her new single ‘Believe In Magic’ and opened up about her feelings of frustration after being forced to cancel and reschedule her tour dates in preparation for breast cancer surgery.
The track, originally written in 2022, reunites her with ‘No Secrets’ collaborators Los Hendrix and Jesse Boykins III, and comes alongside visuals directed by Mitch Peryer.
Blending honesty and hope, the lyrics include: “Such a waste being jaded/See all the little things that fix a broken heart/Open your eyes and you’ll see what can happen/Gotta believe in the magic.”
Talking about the song, Jessie J shared that it was written during the early stages of her pregnancy. “I was breaking open and loving writing again,” she explained.
“It was a deep, hopeful, loving feeling I wanted to put into a song. It resonates with me more now than perhaps it did then. That’s the beauty of music, it can travel in time. I love this song. I hope you (yes, you) get the inspiration for your life in your own way. That’s my only hope for all my music.”
‘Believe In Magic’ comes shortly after Jessie J revealed she would have to postpone her UK and European shows due to a second surgery for breast cancer.
The singer shared in June that she had been diagnosed with early breast cancer, saying at the time that “cancer sucks in any form” but she was “holding onto the word ‘early’.” She then went through surgery on June 24, which was successful.
In a press statement, she explained: “Unfortunately, I have to have a second surgery, nothing too serious, but it has to be done by the end of this year. This falls in the middle of the tour I had booked. I’m so sorry, I feel frustrated and sad, but I need to be better, I need to be healed.”
Her UK and European tour, originally scheduled to begin in September, has now been rescheduled for April 2026. All tickets for the October shows will still be valid for the new April dates.

Jessie J also confirmed that all of her North American dates have been cancelled. In a video on Instagram, she said: “I need to be better, I need to be healed… here comes the bad news, I haven’t been able to finesse the US dates so those have to be cancelled.”
She added that since she already has other tours and shows planned for 2026, figuring out new US dates will take more time.
“Forgive me. I’m sorry, these sucks… April 2026, I’ll be on the road for the UK and European shows, and the US dates will be announced as soon as we can find time, and it feels good to do them.”
