Preparing for his performance at the Emmy Awards ceremony today, John Legend is also celebrating the release of his eighth studio album, LEGEND. The R&B crooner has shared singles like “Dope” with Dreamville’s J.I.D and “All She Wanna Do” featuring Saweetie, and on Friday (September 9), the album arrived in all of its glory.

Legend takes care to sonically balance an old school feel with a new school take, and in a press release, he expressed how his ancestral story was instrumental in the crafting of his record.

“I never feel divorced from my ancestors,” said Legend. “I have such reverence for my musical heritage, that I don’t feel like I need to leave it behind to be adventurous, or creative, or to try something new. When I’m creating something new, I’m still hearing the voices and influences of Stevie, Marvin, Curtis, Aretha, Nina, Donny and Prince. Black musicians have always been at the forefront of innovation in music. But where I think Hip Hop is always about what’s new, with Soul music, we are a bit more nostalgic … and hopefully what we’ve been able to do with LEGEND is that synthesis of looking forward, but also connecting with where we come from.”
On LEGEND, the singer partnered with Rick Ross on the introductory track “Rounds,” and it’s a production that you may not expect to hear these two collide on. It’s one of several standouts for the Chicago icon,

Lyrics

[Intro: John Legend]
Cotton candy fingertips
Print my lips (Print my lips)
I’ma slip inside those hips (Hips)
Ease your grip (Ease your grip)
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1: John Legend]
Been waitin’ while you’ve been hidin’
I’m fiendin’ like I’d never had it
But now I got you wrapped around me
Go at it like a savage

[Chorus: John Legend]
Baby, I owe you rounds
You know I’m gon’ put it down, oh, oh
Sugar sweat on your skin
Taste your spice on my tongue

[Verse 2: Rick Ross]
Pickin’ rose pedals in Anisa, France (Uh)
Pink peacocks roamin’ at the mansion
Makin’ love with the cherry on top
Fireplace, ice cubes and the Scotch (Uh)
Great sex, can I take you to your apex? (Yes)
Mornin’ slow strokes, got you runnin’ late (Yes, haha)
What if we never met? You’d be still in debt
Because we know the world lives, now the scene is set
Always chauffeurs, new trench coats
How I got her wet on a big boat?
I get it ten bags at a time (At a time)
I’m the richest and I did it off of rhyme (Woo)
No longer affiliated with these rap squads
One of one amongst rap gods
White gloves with a head full of dark thoughts (Huh)
Soft sex, first time with a mob boss
Pull up in a Rolls Royce, new chariot
Heavenly angles, John Legend’s an angel
This the moment, since we all needed the clarity
They wanna change you, all they want is the same you (Maybach Music)

[Chorus: John Legend]
Baby, I owe you rounds
You know I’m gon’ put it down, oh, oh

[Bridge: John Legend]
Ayy, ooh, ah, yeah
Baby, I-I-I, I-I-I owe you rounds
Ooh, I-I’m gon’ put it down, baby

[Chorus: John Legend]
Baby, I owe you rounds
You know I’m gon’ put it down, oh, oh

[Outro: John Legend]
Cotton candy fingertips
Print my lips
I’ma slip inside those hips
Ease your grip
