The album will drop days after Scott and JackBoys dropped the single '2000 Excursion' featuring Don Toliver and Sheck Wes.
With his Sunday album drop, Scott is just the latest major hip-hop act to break from the industry standard Friday release date. Tyler, the Creator did so last year as well for his eighth album, Chromakopia, dropping it on a Monday morning in the hopes that fans would engage more directly with the music throughout the week instead of over a weekend.
JackBoys 2 will mark Scott's first full album since he released Utopia back in 2023. That record was one of the best-selling albums of the year and has since gone double-platinum.
JackBoys 2 comes over five years after Cactus Jack first released JackBoys back in December of 2019. The first album featured guest appearances from artists including Rosalia, Lil Baby, Quavo, Pop Smoke and Young Thug, the latter of whom was featured on the album's triple-platinum single, 'Out West.'
Some of the expected features on the new album are GloRilla, Vybz Kartel, 21 Savage and Tyla, among others.

WWE Superstar Drew McIntyre Trashes Travis Scott
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Drew McIntyre and Logan Paul have some harsh words for celebrity "outsiders" in WWE. On the latest episode of the Impaulsive podcast, the duo took aim at both Travis Scott for his WrestleMania 41 interference and their upcoming SummerSlam opponent, Jelly Roll. The conversation highlights a growing debate within wrestling about the right and wrong way for celebrities to get involved in the business. Both McIntyre and Paul made it clear they feel there is a certain level of respect and athleticism required. McIntyre Blasts Travis Scott The most scathing comments were reserved for multi-platinum recording artist Travis Scott. McIntyre blamed Scott for ruining the main event of WrestleMania 41, where his interference helped John Cena defeat Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship. "Do a six-minute run-in at WrestleMania and screw up our damn main event," McIntyre said of Scott's involvement. He then bluntly added, "Travis Scott. Piece of s---." An Insulting Comparison The conversation then shifted to their current rival, Jelly Roll. Logan Paul, a celebrity who has earned respect for his incredible athletic ability in the ring, said he finds it "insulting" when a non-athlete thinks they can just walk into the business. McIntyre echoed this sentiment with sarcasm. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation "Jelly Roll, with that major athletic background that I'm always hearing about as a kid and all the sports he played," McIntyre joked. "I don't know, dominoes in jail, I assume?" McIntyre did give credit to the "anomalies" who have successfully transitioned, naming Paul himself, Kurt Angle, and Ronda Rousey as natural athletes who took to wrestling quickly.

HOUSTON, TEXAS - MARCH 11: Drew McIntyre talks to the crowd during WWE Monday Night RAW at Toyota Center on March 11, 2024 in Houston, Texas. Alex BierensThe Modern "Respectful" Celebrity The comments from McIntyre and Paul tap into a long history of celebrity involvement in WWE. While legends like Mr. T and Mike Tyson brought massive mainstream attention to the company, there have been many instances of celebrity appearances that have been poorly received by fans. In the modern era, a new standard has been set by stars like Logan Paul and Bad Bunny. Both men have been praised by fans and fellow wrestlers for their dedication, intense training, and clear respect for the wrestling business. Their critically acclaimed in-ring performances have created an expectation that any celebrity who steps into a WWE ring must be willing to put in the work. McIntyre and Paul's comments frame Travis Scott and Jelly Roll as celebrities who are not meeting that new, higher standard. The Road To SummerSlam These comments are the latest shots fired in the build to a massive tag team match at SummerSlam. The feud ignited on SmackDown on July 11th when Paul confronted Jelly Roll, leading to Randy Orton making the save. After more chaos at Saturday Night's Main Event, the match was made official: Randy Orton & Jelly Roll vs. Drew McIntyre & Logan Paul. The war of words is sure to intensify as the blockbuster match approaches. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports

'Fantastic Four' Star Wants A Spider-Man Team-Up
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors In the comic book source material, one of Peter Parker/Spider-Man's closest friends is Johnny Storm, aka the Human Torch. Now the guy playing the latest live-action incarnation of the Human Torch, Joseph Quinn, says he wants a team-up with Tom Holland's Spidey. Read More: 'Fantastic Four' Early Reactions Are Overwhelmingly One-Sided Speaking at the world premiere of "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" Monday night, Quinn gave his thoughts on the matter to The Hollywood Reporter. "That pairing makes sense to me and I think he's brilliant and I'm up for it," Quinn said. "I think we'd have a laugh. I've never met Tom and I think he's brilliant; his Peter Parker is the best one ever, I think he's our best-ever Spider-Man, so why not? Let's do it, get it moving." Tom Holland as Spider-Man. Sony owns the rights to the Marvel character. Tom Holland as Spider-Man. Sony owns the rights to the Marvel character. Marvel Quinn's words about Holland's Spider-Man are particularly gracious considering he actually auditioned for the role along with Holland. At #TheFantasticFour premiere, Joseph Quinn shows his excitement for the idea of teaming up with Tom Holland in future MCU projects. — The Hollywood Reporter (@THR) July 22, 2025 Unfortunately, if the two are going to team-up on the big screen, fans will likely have to wait at least a couple of years to see it. While Quinn will be joining the rest of the "Fantastic Four" heroes in next year's "Avengers: Doomsday," Holland will be a no-show for that event film. There is always the following year's "Avengers: Secret Wars," which will end the Multiverse Saga and somehow reboot the MCU. "Secret Wars" is scheduled to hit theaters December 17, 2027, meaning fans likely have at least two and a half years to wait for any possible Spider-Man/Human Torch team-up. That is, unless Quinn makes a surprise appearance in next year's "Spider-Man: Brand New Day." With Jon Bernthal's Punisher already set to appear (and persistent rumors of Mark Ruffalo's Bruce Banner/Hulk), a Human Torch team-up seems unlikely. But a future team-up would be a boon to comic book fans. In the source material the Human Torch and Spider-Man are such good friends, it was Spidey who replaced his buddy on the team when the Torch "died" in Jonathan Hickman's acclaimed "Fantastic Four" run. They also shared a team-up "Spider-Man/Human Torch" miniseries in 2005. "The Fantastic Four: First Steps" releases in theaters July 25. Tickets are on sale now. The film is directed by Matt Shakman. It stars Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne, Julia Garner, Ralph Ineson, Mark Gatiss, and Sarah Niles More Comics: John Malkovich Cut From 'The Fantastic Four' DC Finds Its 'Wonder Woman' Reboot Writer

Will there be a 'Ballard' Season 2? What to know
"Ballard" fans are ready for more. Throughout the first season's ten episodes, fans got to know disgraced yet determined LAPD detective Renée Ballard (Maggie Q), who was put in charge of the department's new and underfunded cold case division. Viewers also learned of a "dangerous conspiracy within the department" as Detective Ballard peeled back layers of crimes spanning decades, including a serial killer's string of murders, with help from her team and retired detective Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver). "Detective Ballard navigates personal trauma, professional challenges, and life-threatening dangers to expose the truth," the show's official logline says. The police procedural, a spinoff of another spinoff set in the "Bosch universe," was inspired by the popular crime novels written by best-selling author Michael Connelly. "Ballard" made its debut July 9 on Amazon Prime Video, a few months after the last "Bosch: Legacy" episode aired. The streamer, unfortunately, has yet to formally announce whether "Ballard" will be, or has been, renewed for a second season. Representatives for the show declined to comment on its future, but lead Maggie Q recently told The Hollywood Reporter that the season two story arc will be "very exciting" if greenlit. Need a break? Play the USA TODAY Daily Crossword Puzzle. Here's what we know about "Ballard" Season 2. Will 'Ballard' return for Season 2? The jury's still out. (Amazon MGM Studios has yet to make an official decision.) But Q, who has "no sense" about the show's future, told The Hollywood Reporter in a recent interview that if a season two is greenlit, the cast will likely start shooting in the fall. "This industry is not what it was before," Q told THR. "It's barely recognizable to me, and shows are so expendable. They can throw out a show in two seconds, and it doesn't make a ton of difference that whole worlds and livelihoods are at stake. Studios always have options. But we have a writers' room, and they've been writing away. The arc for the second season is very exciting." The possibility of a renewal, according to Q, ultimately lies in the hands of the viewers. "It's all going to depend on what the audiences think of what we've done," Q told Men's Journal. "I'm not going to pretend I know this industry anymore. But we have a great lineup for Season 2, story-wise. So, fingers crossed." What is 'Ballard' about? "Ballard" follows LAPD Detective Renée Ballard, who is the new and fearless leader of the LAPD's underfunded and all-volunteer cold case unit. "Armed with her unwavering determination, (Detective) Ballard races against time to solve the city's most challenging cold cases, confronting the ghosts of victims past, the very real dangers of the present, and even her own past catching up to her," the show's official logline says. How to watch 'Ballard' The show premiered on Wednesday, July 9, on Prime Video. The first season, which consisted of 10 episodes, dropped on premiere day. Prime Video subscriptions are included with an Amazon Prime membership, which start at $14.99 a month, or $139 a year if you prefer to pay annually.
