British rapper Jhus’ third album, Beautiful and Brutal Yard, arrived in 2023, just as it appeared they were about to abandon us for another summer. When word of the long-awaited album surfaced, fans were disturbed by the absence of credit for JAE5. J Hus has staged a coup on the direction of his own sound by exploring his range apart from the control of his former executive producer and Afroswing architect.
Beautiful And Brutal Yard is a 19 track-listing album with guest features from Drake, Naira Marley, Jorja Smith, Burna Boy, CB, Villz, Popcaan & Boss Belly. Here, he cranks up the volume on his erratic emotions, transitioning from aggressor to party starter to lover boy at breakneck speed. TSB is in charge of production primarily, but J Hus is clearly in charge currently.
