Making a grand entrance, Chris Brown drops the deluxe edition of his 11:11 album, hitting the scene only five months after the original release.
11:11 Deluxe version packs a punch with an extra 13 tracks, bumping up the total count to a massive 35. And that’s not all – Brown’s brought in some heavy hitters for this ride, including Mario, Bryson Tiller, Lil Wayne to spice things up even more.
On November 10, 2023, the original edition of 11:11 hit streaming services, boasting 22 tracks. Among its standout singles was the sizzling lead track “Summer Too Hot,” which garnered a nomination for Best R&B Performance at the 2024 Grammy Awards. Additionally, the album featured the acclaimed hit “Sensational,” honored with a NAACP Image Award, claiming the top spot on Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart.
In addition to his numerous accolades and musical triumphs, Chris Brown has never been one to shy away from speaking his mind or stirring up drama. This unapologetic attitude is evident in his latest track “Freaks,” featuring Lil Wayne, Joyner Lucas, and Tee Grizzley, where he doesn’t hold back from taking obvious shots at Quavo.
“Okay, now f**kin’ my old b**ches ain’t gon’ make us equal/ Sippin’ that 1942 ’cause I don’t do no Cuervo, freak b**ch, she like Casamigos, not the Migos,” Brown rapped over a sample of Nelly’s original “Air Force Ones.”
This controversially left him open to speculation about the meaning behind it, as well as the lyrical retaliation that Quavo set loose just a day later in his surprise track, “Tender.”
Despite the controversies that often surround him, Brown remains unapologetically himself, always ready to express his thoughts and desires through his music.
Though he has previously promised fans that he was done with sharing “long” projects, he attributed the recent additions to his fans cries for more. Using the deluxe to tackle the ideas of failing relationships or enticing an old partner to come back to him, Brown wanted to make sure he gave listeners their fill.
