His third studio effort is streaming exclusively on Apple Music now, but was also made available in physical form at a series of pop-up shops nationwide Saturday, where the album's companion magazine revealed A-list credits including Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar, Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood and André 3000. While we'll surely be unpacking Blonde's 17 tracks for weeks to come, here are five that caught our ears on first listen: Pink + Whiteīeyoncé, is that you?

Nearly walking away with the album in just under a minute and a half, the Outkast rapper dexterously puts other artists on blast, spitting, "I'm so naive, I was under the impression that everyone wrote they own verses."
