Mary J. Blige drops her new song, Thriving featuring Nas. Available for download and stream, Mary J Blige premiered her new single on Ebro’s radio show. Nas and Mary J. Blige were both up for NY rap supremacy before it became a popularity contest. The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul offers some motivational words on the empowering anthem. “We not just surviving / Yeah, we thriving over here,” she sings before offering some advice: “Hold your crown up to the sky.”
Nasir blesses the track with his regal bars. “I dodged bullets and jail time and kept driving / Stood tall through it all, keep thriving.”
The powerhouses previously collaborated on songs like “Feel Inside” and “Reach Out.” Mary is now working on a new album, her first since 2017’s Strength of a Woman.
Mary J’s last album arrived in April of 2017 boasting a Kanye West feature to lead things off. While the project arrived amidst a certain degree of silence, thanks to Nas’ encouragement, the R&B legend will have the chance to tour the project in his company – starting in July.
