Allstar JR is stepping into summer with Ball Up Top, a project that positions him as one of Detroit’s most consistent and calculated voices. Built on the city’s signature blend of soulful samples, rubbery 808s, and icy keys, the album leans into JR’s strengths: smooth-talking confidence, relentless hustle, and razor-sharp delivery. With production from Lucci, 4ThousandWatts, and ReeceBeats, the sound is as polished as it is punchy.

The latest single, “Baby Momma Vision Board” featuring BabyTron, is a standout flex-fest. Over an uptempo, soul-drenched loop, JR and BabyTron go back-to-back with witty, deadpan punchlines and relentless swagger. Their chemistry is undeniable—two stylists with totally different approaches united by a shared love of slick bars and subtle humor.

With Ball Up Top dropping May 28 via Get A Bag Records / EMPIRE, and a stacked feature list to back it up, Allstar JR is clearly in playmaker mode—calling the shots and setting the tone.
