PartyNextDoor Is A "Better Man" On His New Rick Ross Collaboration

PartyNextDoor has been having a quietly prolific 2017. Though he's yet to deliver his upcoming full length Club Atlantis, the singer and producer has been releasing loose tracks and low stakes projects quite regularly over the last few months. Starting with the highly underrated Colours 2 EP, Party has released a total of eight tracks, boosted considerably by his Seven Days EP released on Friday. Unlike Colours, Seven Days sports some big collaborations with fall tourmate Halsey and MMG boss Rick Ross. "Better Man," which features Rozay, is one of the collection's strongest tracks, playing into the intimate quality of PND's best songs, while also sporting some crisp, driving drum programming that makes it stand out on the project. It finds the singer reasoning with a lover, and striving for more. "It seems like breakin' your heart is the easiest part / And lovin' you right, only gets harder," he croons. "Just give me some time so I can be a better lover." Meanwhile, Ross proves himself as a rapper who can compliment an R&B song without resorting to auto-pilot.

The instrumental comes from two regular collaborators of PND, G. Ry and David "Prep" Bijan Hughes.

Party's upcoming LP Club Atlantis, was one of a few new releases from OVO announced via Billboard in Toroto's union square earlier this year. Other releases include The Space Between from Majid Jordan, DVSN's The Morning After, Roy Wood$' Say Less.

On top of his solo releases, Party started the year strong with a few radio singles. PND cowrote DJ Khaled's "Shining" with Jay-Z and Beyoncé, as well as guesting on both Major Lazer's "Run Up" with Nicki Minaj and Zayn's "Still Got Time."

Party is currently touring North America with Halsey and Charli XCX. View the full list of tour dates here.

Quotable Lyrics:
Why don't we ever grieve
Or ask me what I need? Oh
Situations turn to complications
Way too easy
And I know it's me
Never planning you shit
Never thought that I'd share your pain
I even seen you cry, I seen you dream
And I watched my mother
Go through these things
