Last month, it was announced that in July all the way through to September, Mary J. Blige and Nas were heading out on a joint trek called The Royalty Tour. You can check out the full list of dates here.
In anticipation of the shows, the pair have released a new single today called ‘Thriving’ and marks their first collaboration in a while, with the first going all the way back to ‘Love is All We Need‘ more than 20 years ago. This is quite upbeat and vibrant, something we weren’t expecting.
