IT’S PND SZN.
As we reflect on this decade in music, we realize that PartyNextDoor was certainly one its MVP’s. His self-titled EP and its sequel, respectively released in 2013 and 2014, have already proven that they will stand the test time and continue to stand leagues ahead whatever hip hop-R&B blends that have come out in recent years. You could make arguments for the quality his later releases, but the greatness PartyNextDoor and PartyNextDoor 2 remains indisputable.
After a two-year hiatus since the release PND’s Seven Days EP, it appears we’re finally about to be blessed with more morose bangers. The Toronto artist posted a photo himself today on Instagram – his last post dates back to 71 weeks ago – with a caption that simply reads, “Friday.” A message like this could pretty fairly be interpreted as him hinting at new music. While there have been no signs whether it will arrive in the form a single, an EP or a full album, it’s clear that PND has a lot in the stash. The OVO signee has been teasing that he’s been locked away in the studio for a good chunk the year and has previewed what he’s been cooking up, including a song with Rihanna.
