The Biebs is back!
Justin Bieber recently surprise-released his seventh studio album, “Swag.” An even bigger surprise? Druski being on it. The Gwinnet County-bred comedian and influencer appears on “Swag” not once, not twice but three times. Not for singing, though. He mainly serves as a friend and makeshift counselor for the 31-year-old Bieber, churning bits of advice and odd praises that distract from an album that’s otherwise quite OK.
On “Soulful,” Druski tells Bieber, “Your skin white, but your soul Black, Justin. I promise you, man.” The illogical assessment elicits a blissful “thank you” from the pop star, who may not be wise enough to understand the depths of Druski’s statement. (And Druski may not be, either). “Therapy Session” features Druski offering Bieber somewhat solid advice on navigating fame before suggesting he indulge in Black & Mild Cigars. “Standing on Business” is basically Druski providing cultural context for the term he’s credited for popularizing.
Those appearances annoyingly diminish Bieber’s comeback — an expansive new groove that feels like a fresh start. But don’t fret. Below is a playlist of Bieber’s best tracks!
