The Biebs is back!

Justin Bieber recently surprise-released his seventh studio album, “Swag.” An even bigger surprise? Druski being on it. The Gwinnet County-bred comedian and influencer appears on “Swag” not once, not twice but three times. Not for singing, though. He mainly serves as a friend and makeshift counselor for the 31-year-old Bieber, churning bits of advice and odd praises that distract from an album that’s otherwise quite OK.

On “Soulful,” Druski tells Bieber, “Your skin white, but your soul Black, Justin. I promise you, man.” The illogical assessment elicits a blissful “thank you” from the pop star, who may not be wise enough to understand the depths of Druski’s statement. (And Druski may not be, either). “Therapy Session” features Druski offering Bieber somewhat solid advice on navigating fame before suggesting he indulge in Black & Mild Cigars. “Standing on Business” is basically Druski providing cultural context for the term he’s credited for popularizing.

Those appearances annoyingly diminish Bieber’s comeback — an expansive new groove that feels like a fresh start. But don’t fret. Below is a playlist of Bieber’s best tracks!

Healthcare at College Park, a nursing home in Fulton County, GA, stands shuttered with its door chained on July 26, 2025, having closed in recent months.  Researchers at Brown University developed a list of U.S. nursing homes they predicted were at risk of closing based on 2023 data, and would be at elevated risk of closing due to the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act's cuts to Medicaid. Healthcare at College Park was on their list.  It survived past its last federal inspection in August of 2024 but has now closed down. The bill's biggest provisions will roll out over years starting Jan. 1. (Ariel Hart/AJC)
