Jay-Z & The Weeknd give Belly’s New Album “Seal of Approval.”
Belly is known to work with many artists over the years, such as contributing R&B songs for XO and even Beyonce. His last album back in 2018 with a couple of singles was what we were left with. In April of 2020, he shared on Twitter what he’s been dealing with through the years. From dealing with PTSD and being on anti-depressants, Belly has taken time to work on himself for his well being. It wasn’t until this year on Twitter he announced his album was done but wasn’t complete until Jay-Z & The Weeknd gave Belly’s album the seal of approval.
“The last couple years have been fucked up for me in almost every way,” Belly wrote in an Instagram post. “I’ve been in and out of therapy for over a year(depression, PTSD). I gotta do physical therapy twice a week (back/neck injuries), and I can’t even tour or travel too much. I got put on anti-depressants (I’m off now), lost my confidence & regained most of the weight that I lost.”
The name of the album See You Next Wednesday doesn’t have a release date just yet. The misleading title had us thinking it was gonna be out on the 20th, but who knows, and now it’s a waiting game. With being on a hiatus, who knows what Belly has in store. Being signed by XO and Jay-Z’s Roc Nation, this brings a promising list of possible collaborations.
Before I officially close out an album, there’s two people I play it for to get the seal of approval. Hov and Abel. That being said, I can officially say the album is done #seeyounextwednesday#SYNW
Following this year, artists have been putting in work and are giving and showing us their all. This year isn’t the one to play games but instead, move around to gain.
