The singer has been signed to Columbia Records and has been crafting his untitled debut album which is said to arrive this summer. Which would make perfect since for him to take a break from the show over the summer to focus on promoting, touring and working the album. This time could also be used for him to focus on upcoming movie roles. Are you ready to see Jussie leave Empire?
