SiR has recruited Anderson .Paak, Ty Dolla $ign and more for his new album Heavy.
The Top Dawg Entertainment singer took to Instagram on Monday (March 4) to share the tracklist and cover art for his forthcoming project, which is set to arrive on March 22.

The cover art features a shirtless SiR looking down in contemplative fashion against a gradient backdrop that moves from blue to white.
Other artists featured on the project include his TDE labelmates Isaiah Rashad and Ab-Soul, in addition to Scribz Riley.
So far, the Los Angeles native has shared two single from Heavy: “Karma” with Isaiah Rashad and “No Evil.”
The latter made waves thanks to SiR channeling D’Angelo in the music video and recreating the neo-soul legend’s iconic “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” video.

While showcasing his own ripped physique, SiR sings in the sultry clip: “What’s your superpower?/ Show me what you’re made of/ I been lonely for days and days/ But we’re one and the same.”
Heavy serves as SiR’s first album in five years following 2019’s Chasing Summer, which boasted appearances from Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne, Jill Scott, Smino and Sabrina Claudio, among others.
The 37-year-old found himself in the headlines for all the wrong reasons last month when he came under fire for using the word “bitch” in a tweet to Kai Cenat.
SiR posted a message to the popular Twitch streamer saying: “@KaiCenat a real one. Got a n-gga a whole new Bitch on Twitch [crying face emoji].”#

He was referencing Cenat hosting an online dating competition for a man who went viral when his now-ex-girlfriend danced provocatively with Nigerian singer Omah Lay during a recent concert.
Following the backlash, SiR issued an apology that said: “Let me start by saying I hear everyone, and I am sincerely sorry. Women deserve respect and I see using ‘bitch’ doesn’t do that.”

He added: “Please accept my apology and allowing me this teaching moment. With nothing but love, SiR.”
