Data Insight
All 19 tracks are his, none alone, which is where the catalogue started and where it has stayed. Timbaland, Swizz Beatz and Pharrell are all on it, the same names that were on Genesis in 2001. Twenty-seven years on he still writes every song and still writes none of them by himself.
Blockbusta came out on the Conglomerate and Epic in November 2023, his eleventh studio album and his most recent. It did not chart on the Billboard 200.
