Jessie Reyez has unexpectedly released a brand new EP, featuring five fresh songs along with a collaboration with Stormzy.

The project, titled ‘$TILL PAID’, was released today, March 30, by the Grammy nominated singer songwriter. The release follows the success of her widely praised 2025 album ‘PAID IN MEMORIES’.

Described as a celebratory moment in her career, the EP arrives after her sold out global headline tour in 2025. It also follows the release of her latest poetry collection Words of A Goat Princess II: The People’s Purge, which came out last October.

The new EP includes five songs with titles such as ‘$TAY MOODY’, ‘HOT N $WEET’, ‘$OFA’ and others. It also features a remix of ‘PALO $ANTO’, which Reyez recorded together with Stormzy. You can listen to the EP below.

Reyez released ‘PAID IN MEMORIES’ last year, a 20 track album that included collaborations with Ari Lennox, Big Sean, Miguel, Lil Yachty, 6lack, Lil Wayne and Deyaz.

Prior to that, she released the single ‘Child of Fire’, which appeared on the soundtrack for Netflix’s Rebel Moon. She also recorded her own version of ‘Is This Love’ for the ‘Bob Marley: One Love – Music Inspired by Film’ soundtrack, which went on to win a Grammy for Best Reggae Album.

In 2023, she joined Sam Smith as a support act on the ‘Gloria’ tour and later appeared at multiple arena dates across the United States as part of Jhené Aiko’s ‘The Magic Hour Tour’.

Over the course of her career, Reyez has also written songs for Dua Lipa, Kehlani, LISA from BLACKPINK and Calvin Harris. In 2024, she was honoured with Billboard Canada’s Women in Music Trailblazer Award.

As for Stormzy, the London artist received an honorary doctorate from Cambridge University last summer in recognition of his Stormzy Scholarship programme.

The scholarship programme began in 2018 and initially funded two Black British students each year to study at the university. After HSBC UK joined the initiative, the number increased to 10 students annually. So far, 56 students have benefited from the programme, with both tuition and living costs covered.

John Forté passed away in January at the age of 50 after being discovered unresponsive on his kitchen floor by a neighbor. The neighbor quickly alerted authorities, but by the time they arrived, there was nothing they could do. Forté was pronounced dead at the scene.

At the time, officials stated that no foul play was involved. However, his cause of death was not immediately made public. Now, according to the Vineyard Gazette, the state medical examiner has confirmed that he died from complications related to influenza A.

It was also reported that a seizure disorder contributed to his passing. Forté had been managing the condition with medication following a serious health incident that led to hospitalization more than two years before his death.

Following the news, tributes poured in from fans and fellow artists alike, including members of Fugees such as Wyclef Jean, Pras, and Lauryn Hill. Hill shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, reflecting on their bond.

"I can’t remember the exact moment I met John Forte or Forte as we used to call him, but I know we became fast friends very soon after," she wrote in part, "I loved him, my family loved him… I remember meeting his mom with her sweet voice for the first time and walking New York City streets with him in full youthful fascination mode."

"Our generation of hip hop was young and at the ascent of its epic rise. We were both there…participating and taking it all in, full of excitement and possibility. Forte was a gentlemen and a scholar with a strong pen, deep soul, and kind heart," Hill continued. "This loss is unexpected and surreal and my heart aches… for his family, for his wife, for his children, for his friends, and for all of us who were blessed to know him. I Love you John. Rest in peace gentle King."
