Juicy J - Stay Trippy debuterer på Topp 5 på Billdboard 200 listene

(New York, NY; Columbia Records; September 4th, 2013) – Juicy J’s highly anticipated major label debut, STAY TRIPPY, entered the top 5 of the US Billboard 200 chart at #4 with over 64,000 units sold. STAY TRIPPY includes the #1 platinum hit “Bandz A Make Her Dance” and was released on Columbia Records in partnership with his good friend Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records. STAY TRIPPY has also seen success internationally with 13 top 10 digital debuts, hitting the top spot digitally in 4 other countries and landing #2 in Canada. Upon release, STAY TRIPPY immediately shot to the top of the hip hop/rap digital chart and climbed its way to #1 on the overall US digital album chart over the Labor Day holiday weekend thanks to the continued support of his fans.

In addition to the commercial success of STAY TRIPPY, Juicy J continues to receive widespread critical praise with features in the New York Times, USA Today and Rolling Stone, along with gracing the cover of The Source Magazine’s POWER 30 issue with label head Dr. Luke.
Juicy J had a creative approach to debuting the album via the Stay Trippy Stripper game, streaming the album in its entirety on thejuicyj.com. A re-imagination of the original Bandz Stripper Game, the Stay Trippy Stripper game allowed fans to unlock tracks from the album by completing score benchmarks. Play the game here: http://staytrippy.thejuicyj.com.

The Memphis rap legend is also giving back to the community and has partnered with the #1 Urban entertainment website, Worldstarhiphop.com to launch the “Juicy J Scholarship Foundation” competition. Inspired by the track “Scholarship”(ft. A$AP Rocky) featured on his debut album STAY TRIPPY and out of the kindness of his heart, Juicy is giving female fans an opportunity to win a $50,000 scholarship to their school. All young women ages 18 (or age of majority in your state, whichever is higher) to 25, currently enrolled in a 2 or 4 year accredited college or university are eligible to enter. All contestants must be able to prove their enrollment through the 2014/2015 school year. Fans can enter the competition by creating YouTube videos explaining why they’re most deserving of the prize, utilizing the Juicy J song “Scholarship,” and submitting the link to their video in the contest entry form located here: http://www.worldstarhiphop.com/scholarship/. Contestants will be judged on their assets and creativity and the contest ends on September 30, 2013.

STAY TRIPPY was released on August 27th, 2013 via Kemosabe/Columbia Records, in association with Taylor Gang Ent. The 16 track album features a stellar line-up of collaborations with many of his peers including Taylor Gang’s own Wiz Khalifa, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, A$AP Rocky, Wale, 2 Chainz, Trey Songz, Young Jeezy, Big Sean, Trina, Pimp C, Yelawolf and Project Pat.
