Larry June - Spaceships on the Blade
(PRESALE - SHIPS 10-17-25)
A highly productive independent artist who became far more successful after his contract with Warner Bros. ended, Larry June reached the Billboard 200 for the first time with 2021's Orange Print, then charted in the Top 40 a year later with Spaceships on the Blade. The 20-track album features production from the Alchemist (on surreal highlight "Breakfast in Monaco"), Chuck Inglish, Cardo, Jake One, and others, evoking synth-funk and smooth R&B as well as mobb music (a Bay Area precursor to G-funk) and trap. Lead single "Private Valet" backs June's tales of luxurious spending with lush strings and horns, remaining low-key during the sung chorus. He maintains his cool-headed persona throughout the record, skillfully delivering verses about hustling and dedicating time to romantic relationships. "Another Day, Pt. 2" and the Syd-assisted "For Tonight" channel '80s R&B, while "Brand New Machinery" (featuring DUCKWRTH) leans toward Afrobeats. 2 Chainz and Curren$y are two of the bigger guest stars on the album, respectively appearing on the E-40-esque "Still Boomin" and the slower, hazier "5.0 Chronicles," and Babyface Ray (of Detroit's Team Eastside) appears on the record's tensest, grittiest song, "Extra of Um."
