The 10-track release arrived earlier this weekend, complete with appearances from Zu, Deeno, and more.

Another weekend is quickly coming to a close, but that doesn't mean you can't still find time to "Party." On Friday (March 10), August Alsina shared his 10-track Myself album, and the aforementioned title is quickly emerging as a fan favourite. Other popular songs include the previously released titular effort, as well as "Lied to You" and "Weekdays" featuring Zu and Deeno.

"I’ve gone from a young boy to a man… A man who’s wiser… smarter… stronger because of my experiences and adversities I’ve faced. And a man whose more resilient," the 30-year-old said of his project. Though he's obviously gone through immeasurable growth over the past few years, that doesn't mean Alsina isn't ready to "Party" every now and then.

August Alsina is Ready to "Party"

"Middle of the week, you f*ckin' with me, all night / Love you 'til it hurt, now you late for work, it's alright," his voice sensually croons on the pre-chorus. "Thursday, even then, on the grind again, on it / I'll be back to beat it in the mornin'." To produce the groovy song, Alsina recruited Happie, Losaddos, and The Exclusives.

Other songs from his Myself album that seem to be getting plenty of love on streamers are "Never Fold," "Same," and "August." Aside from the dual guest feature on his "Weekdays" single, the multi-talent also worked with 4ayem on "Friends" and Layton Freene for the closing track, "On Me." The short and sweet project marks Alsina's first since 2020's The Product III: stateofEMERGEncy. On that, he worked with names like Darrel Walls, Tink, Yo Gotti, Lil Wayne, and Juicy J.

Quotable Lyrics:

Middle of the week, you f*ckin' with me, all night
Love you 'til it hurt, now you late for work, it's alright
Thursday, even then, on the grind again, on it
I'll be back to beat it in the mornin'
