About the album

The two first teamed up on "RNP" from Cordae's 2019 debut The Lost Boy, then again on a pair of tracks from his third album, The Crossroads. Heavy Is The Crown is the full-length they'd been circling for years, announced in August with a cover photo that borrows its pose from the poster for Step Brothers.

.Paak brings the drums-and-grin swagger, Cordae brings the bars, and eleven tracks run from "58th Floor" to "Godfather II" with barely a wasted moment. One of the production credits belongs to .Paak's son, Soul Rasheed, which is about as good a reason as any to start them young.

It has moved fast at Queen since the day it arrived, and the grey & pink copies have a habit of leaving in pairs.
