After some solid mixtape releases (including This Time I’m Serious and F*** A Friend Zone with DeJ Loaf), Cash Money’s R&B star Jacquees delivers his debut album 4275. The project is led by the singles “B.E.D.” and “Inside” (featuring Trey Songz) and sees additional appearances from Loaf, Chris Brown, Jagged Edge, Young Thug and more.
