- Anderson .Paak and Cordae announced their joint album 'Heavy Is the Head' on Oct. 23, their first full-length project together since 'RNP' six years ago and following prior collabs 'Two Tens' and 'Summer Drop.'
- Paak teased the record on Instagram with a Step Brothers-themed video showing both artists posing in argyle sweaters, then play-fighting — notably with neither wearing pants.
- The announcement arrived without a track list or lead single, offering only a few background lyrics ('Sippin' on this brown liquor got me nostalgic/Plastic on couches...') as a preview.
- Paak and Cordae launched a dedicated webstore for the album, which will be available on cassette, CD, and vinyl.
- Cordae separately posted the album cover on his own Instagram, while Paak handled the teaser video rollout.
- The two previously performed 'RNP' together on The Tonight Show in 2019.
Why it matters: The announcement came with no track list or lead single — just a Step Brothers cosplay video and a few bars of background music. For Paak and Cordae, the bet is that the novelty of their first full collab since 'RNP' can drive pre-orders through a dedicated webstore selling cassette, CD, and vinyl formats.
