J Hus has been riding a wave of success thanks to a new track with Drake, and now he’s upping the ante by announcing his new summer album, and enlisting the aid of one Idris Elba for added appeal.
In an Instagram post shared on Thursday (June 29), the London-born rapper can be seen in a white T-shirt and boxer shorts in his large bed. As he rises, Elba’s voice narrates the poetic trailer.

“Imagine if the heart was not designed to express love or pain,” the Hijack actor begins. “But to express ultimate power. The pull of masculinity. Having the ability to walk anywhere on this atlas and feel at home. No matter what’s going on around me, I’m still myself. And now my eyes are open, and I can see the beauty in everything.”
He continued: “What is freedom to a man who can’t be himself? Does he even know himself? Who even makes the rules? Are you a rule-maker, or a law-abider? And what is a rule-maker if he can’t abide by his own law?”

In follow-up posts, J Hus posted the cover art and the track listing for Beautiful and Brutal Yard, and followed it up with a posting of a handful of tour dates in the United Kingdom.

Beautiful and Brutal Yard also features the hit single, “Who Told You” featuring Drake which was dropped last month.
The Afroswing record hit streaming services on June 8, which hears Hus providing a catchy chorus about a gangsta’s willingness to dance, even though their menacing persona may have people thinking otherwise.
“Who told you bad man don’t dance/ Who told you gangstas don’t dance/ Even with a wap on my hip, I dance,” the 27-year-old raps.
The 6 God takes the baton for verse three where he delivers some clever wordplay that references his 2016 hit “Controlla” before tying in a woman and how trouble seemingly follows him across the globe.

“I knew you were trouble, I was unprepared/ If I were married, this might turn a scandalous affair/ Trouble is there, trouble is there/ Trouble been right there, trouble is there/ Trouble gon’ find me anywhere, trouble gon’ find me,” Drizzy spits.
