Lil Boosie's long-awaited album Touchdown 2 Cause Hell is coming next week, but those who pre-ordered the effort have been given an early taste with the song "Black Heaven" featuring J. Cole for a verse and Keyshia Cole on the hook. The song, as the title suggests, pays tribute to major figures in the black community who have passed away, including Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Biggie Smalls, Richard Pryor, Malcolm X, James Brown, Tupac Shakur, Bob Marley and others.
"I know who giving knowledge up there, 2Pac / He looking down like what happened to this hip-hop / Biggie Smalls probably swagged out laid back / Him and Eazy talking 'bout how it was way back," Boosie raps.
Keyshia Cole then comes in on the hook singing, "I know you smilin' down up there in black heaven / I know you're really proud of me up there I black heaven."
J. Cole takes on the third verse, rapping, "Do my niggas go to when they pass / Then why do good niggas never last? / Some get addicted to the fast route / The hand in hand you know that cash route."
Touchdown 2 Cause Hell is due out May 26 and is now available for pre-order on iTunes. The project features contributions from Jeezy, Chris Brown, Young Thug and more.
