The first of these, “Ghost” reunites him with Navy Blue, the skateboarder-turned-rapper who appeared on Some Rap Songs ’ “The Mint,” while the second one, “Whole World,” features L.A.’s likeminded Maxo over a broody Alchemist beat. Ever the contrarian, Earl Sweatshirt dropped a new digital edition on Friday of his late 2019 EP Feet Of Clay, with two new tracks that nudged the original run time to just over the 20 minute mark. While excess and glut have defined this deluxe deluge, the anarchic freedom of streaming platforms leaves room for the pendulum to swing in the other direction too. Still, that swelling pales in comparison to more egregious examples like Brooklyn rapper Pop Smoke’s posthumous Shoot For The Stars, which ballooned in its second week to 35 songs and 101 minutes.
2 at Apple Music, ahead of Logic’s purported farewell No Pressure for Def Jam. As of this writing, the 70 minute / 26 track effort holds No. Though it won’t rival Taylor Swift’s Folklore shocker, there’s a very strong likelihood that it could take second place in the current qualifying chart frame. Similarly, though Gunna’s Wunna initially dropped in late May to immediate success, an expanded version with eight more songs dropped just this past Friday. Even deliberately shorter projects have returned with bloated track listings, like Calboy’s Long Live The King EP from February which doubled in size for its July reissue. Originally released in late March, Detroit rapper and Yo Gotti CMG signee 42 Dugg’s Young & Turnt 2 tape saw a new version by June, with nine more tracks added. Recalibrating after the Good Intentions play, Durk retroactively added to Just Cause Y’all Waited 2, with a late June release tacking on an additional seven tracks (plus some music videos, where applicable). Everybody noticed, and not just because the underdog Nav had once again proven he had the juice to engineer the biggest album in the country once again.
