Yung Bleu is released Jeremy Album

Yung Bleu has had a tumultuous year. Last August, his wife, Tiemeria, jumped on Instagram to publicly accuse him of cheating. Then in September, Bleu became embroiled in a heated online feud with Boosie BadAzz over a contract dispute. In October, it all came crashing down when the 30-year-old rapper-singer was arrested and charged with domestic battery. Bleu was accused of assaulting a woman during an argument over his 10-year-old son, TMZ reported.

With his past behind him, Bleu is ready to set the record straight with his new album, Jeremy. The LP's title is based on his real name Jeremy Biddle, so you know it's going to be personal. The 17-song compilation features guest appearances from Fridayy, Lil Wayne and Jacquees.

To promote the project, Bleu shared a trailer for the album, which you can watch below. In the video, the “You're Mines Still” crooner sits on a chair as he recounts some of his past trials and tribulations in real time.

It's cold in the D, but it's not colder than Detroit's Skilla Baby. After launching two projects in 2023, Dispute (his joint effort with Tee Grizzley) and We eat the most (Reload)Skilla Baby returns with his star-studded album, The coldest.

The LP features 19 tracks with guest features from Moneybagg Yo, G Herbo, Rob49, Mozzy, DaBaby, Polo G and more. The set's first single is “Free Big Meech,” which is a celebratory ode to Demetrius Edward “Big Meech” Flenory, who was one of the founding members of the Detroit-based Black Mafia Family (BMF) drug-trafficking organization in the late 1980s. .

In the song's accompanying video, which you can watch below, the Motor City rhymer makes it rain on the strip with Meech's son Demetrius Flenory, Jr., who plays his father on the hit Starz series BMF. Talk about art imitating life.
