Mary glows up on a surprising collaboration from "Strength Of A Woman."

Looking at the tracklist of Strength Of A Woman, Mary J. Blige's 13th studio album, one track tends to stand out. Not only does "Glow Up" borrow its title from Chief Keef, it features some surprising guests. Quavo, Missy Elliott, and DJ Khaled make for the unlikely supporting cast, but in the end, they work together quite well. Quavo and Missy Elliott are two rappers who sound comfortable just about anywhere, and DJ Khaled's hype man-isms are kept as minimal as possible. However, no one outshines Mary J. Blige, whose voice hasn't aged at all, and she's still great and belting out brags as she was on "Family Affair."

Listen to the full Strength Of A Woman album, which also features Kanye West, Kaytranada, and BADBADNOTGOOD, here.

Quotable Lyrics:
She wanna be a boss like Mary J
Countin' up commas in the driveway
No more drama like Mary J.
You started out mad now you goin' insane
