“Yo, what’s up yall,” he begins. “I’m in here trynna get this mix done, on my new record featuring Nelly, Ashanti, and Juicy J… It’s an EP [I’m putting out] on Mass Appeal. The first single was with me and Jaqueese called ‘Pick It Up.’ This gon’ be the second song. That’s what we on today.” He went on to play a snippet of the upcoming track, which features a sample of Subway's "This Lil’ Game We Play" featuring 702.

Based on fans' responses on social media, they're here for it, and can't wait to hear more. "This gonna bump regardless of anyone’s opinion! I’m glad to see it," one commenter writes. "I miss hearing music like this," another says. The track doesn't have an official release date at the time of writing, nor does Jermaine Dupri's upcoming EP. With that being said, he told Vibe in October that fans should "look out for so much sh*t" in 2024, so it's safe to say there's more to come.
