Story: The three songs from the Scary Hours 2 EP – What’s Next, Wants and Needs and Lemon Pepper Freestyle – debuted simultaneously in the top three of the Billboard Hot 100
The tune What’s Next is the cream of the crop, debuting at number one.
Next up at number two are Wants and Needs with Lil Baby, while – Lemon Pepper Freestyle – with Rick Ross now ranks number three.
Scary Hours 2, a sequel to the 2018 EP, was released on March 5 to help raise the growing expectation of their upcoming album, Certified Lover Boy.
