Billard drops off a new EP titled “Love Day.” This 4-track project carries some good music to hold us over until we get more. Check out what Billard had to say about the project, “LOVE DAY is a 4 track EP executive produced by K.E. On The Track. Made this for the fans and teamed up with one of the hottest producers in the game while I continue to promote I Am Billard.”

Enter “The Devil is a Lie,” a soulful, religion-infused jam produced by K.E. on the Track and featuring a top-form Jay Z. K.E., who helmed Ross‘ 2011 hit “You the Boss,” scores once again with this beat, making good use of rich gospel samples a la Blueprint-era Kanye. It’s fitting then, that Hova too finishes off the track with some of the best bars we’ve heard from him all year. While Ross offers up his typical illustrious fare–“sippin’ Bordeaux out in Bordeaux,”–Jay turns away from the Tom Fords and the Basquiats and takes it back to the streets: “White Jesus in my crock pot/I mixed the shit with some soda/Now I’m black Jesus, turned water into wine/And all I had to do was turn the stove up.” All in all, “The Devil is a Lie” is a comforting way for Rick Ross to finish out an otherwise uneven year, and it will certainly restore fans’ faith in the forthcoming MasterMind. Listen for yourself below.
