Anderson .Paak and Cordae have announced a joint album, Heavy Is the Head, set for release on 23 October. The pair, who previously collaborated on the tracks "RNP," "Two Tens" and "Summer Drop," revealed the news via a teaser video that riffs on the poster for the 2008 comedy Step Brothers, with the two rappers in argyle sweaters bickering and play-fighting in a manner reminiscent of the film's central characters.

Few concrete details have been shared: no track list or lead single has been released, only a brief snippet of lyrics played over the video. Paak teased the project on Instagram, while Cordae simply posted the album artwork. The record will be sold via a dedicated webstore on cassette, CD and vinyl, extending a collaborative partnership that dates back six years, including a joint performance of "RNP" on The Tonight Show in 2019.
