Drake and Rick Ross did it, once again, when they teamed up for “Lemon Pepper Freestyle.” The two have never missed on wax together and their collective ear for production is truly unmatched. So, when they came through with the stand-out cut off of Scary Hours II, it seemed inevitable that it would become the latest song that every rapper ends up remixing.
Meek Mill and Yung Bleu are just a few of the rappers who’ve tackled the production, and now, Toosii shares his take on “Lemon Pepper Freestyle.” Toosii uses the three-minute track as an opportunity to reflect on his many wins in his career and the lessons learned on his road to the top.
Toosii recently joined us for our Rise & Grind series which you can check out here.
Quotable Lyrics
From the hood but I try to keep it classy
N***as bitches don’t argue, they just get a lil’ sassy
I don’t argue back ’cause the 30 round with the mag be
In the banana clip with smiley faces, my trigger finger happy

It seems Akon is taking notes from Tyrese’s playbook. Back in December, we reported on Tyrese running into a bit of trouble after his SUV was stolen right out of his driveway. He reportedly left the key FOB inside, making it easy for thieves to just drive the Range Rover off of the actor’s property. The vehicle was quickly found and Tyrese shared on social media that he planned on bailing the car thieves out of jail because they were just trying to make money.
Last week, Akon fell victim to vehicle theft, as well, while he was reportedly at a gas station. He left his car running and according to reports, someone hopped in and took off.
Much like Tyrese’s case, Akon’s Range Rover was quickly located, and on Monday (May 31), The Shade Room reported that they spoke with a “source” close to Akon who confirmed that the mogul didn’t plan on pressing charges. “That was him before he was blessed with this success so he understands the struggle,” the source reportedly stated.
“He doesn’t plan to press charges so he hopes they take that as a second chance to focus on a more positive approach to getting out the hood and make use of the time they have out of jail to better their lives.” Would you press charges if someone took off with your car?

The TDE camp has fans anticipating new music from just about everyone on the roster. Last month, they began to hint at a mysterious release that left fans wondering who out of the Top Dawg Entertainment roster would be dropping. Turns out, it was Isaiah Rashad. The Chattanooga, TN native unveiled “Lay Wit Ya” ft. Duke Deuce — an energetic crunk banger that offered fans a glimpse into his follow-up to 2016’s The Sun’s Tirade.
Today, the rapper shares another new record, though it didn’t actually make the cut for his upcoming album, The House Is Burning. Isaiah Rashad shared “200/Warning” which breaks down into two parts. “200” dives deeper into the Memphis-influence found on “Lay Wit Ya” with breezy guitar strings reminiscent of the production on Cilvia Demo. The Three 6 inspiration carries onto the second half of the song, “Warning” with jazz percussion brightening up the production. Nabeyin, Amaire Johnson, Rory Behr, Almatic, and Kenny Beats are credited as producers on the record.
No release date has been set for The House Is Burning but it is expected to drop in June.
Peep his new track below.
Quotable Lyrics
I know these n***as tryna burn me out when I’m on
I know these n***as tryna burn me out Lord
Smoking heavy as I can I ride around on my lone
But would they play the numbers fuckin’ round with theyself

In the sports world, the news of Naomi Osaka’s withdrawal from the French Open has consumed headlines. The 23-year-old tennis star is sitting at the top of her career as one of the greatest players in the world, but last week, she announced she would be stepping back from doing interviews with the tennis media because she wanted to protect her mental health. The French Open fined her $15K for not adhering to the rules—a fine that Osaka publicly stated she quickly paid—but following the controversy, the sports icon decided to withdraw from the competition altogether because her health is more important to her than a trophy.
While some tennis stars disapprove of Cordae’s girlfriend’s decision, overall, people have applauded the young star, especially during a time when there have been multiple reports of celebrities passing away from suicide and overdoses. However, Piers Morgan took this opportunity to target Osaka and he attacked her in an op-ed piece.
“*NEW COLUMN* Narcissistic Naomi’s cynical exploitation of mental health to silence the media is right from the Meghan & Harry playbook of wanting their press cake and eating it,” Morgan tweeted, once again mentioning Meghan Markle, a woman who he has been accused of harassing for years after she never contacted him following their meet-up for drinks. According to Morgan, Markle visited London, they went out for a drink, and she met Prince Harry later on that evening.
People quickly clapped back at Morgan and accuses him of being vile, racist, and obsessed. The public pointed out that his behavior is why Osaka withdrew in the first place, but he said she only backed out because she faced backlash for criticizing the media. “This criticism is damaging to my mental health. Delete,” he tweeted to a Twitter user.

It’s been over four years since Kendrick Lamar released his last album, DAMN. which further earned him acclaim and commercial success that very few rappers before have accomplished. However, Kendrick’s one artist that doesn’t rush his projects which is probably why he hardly disappoints. People are growing impatient, though. A new album from the rapper was slated for 2020 but the pandemic pushed back those plans.
It seems that Kendrick Lamar could be arriving in the near future, according to The Game. The Doctor’s Advocate MC, who apparently is no longer retired, took to social media where he praised J. Cole’s new album The Off-Season before tipping his hat off to Kendrick Lamar. The Game revealed that he had recently chopped it up with Top Dawg who offered an ambiguous update on when we could expect new music from K. Dot.
“I talked to Top Dawg. You know, he told me Kendrick ’bout to hit n***as with some shit real soon and shit. So, you know, who knows how real soon that it but if Kendrick is working, that shit is always major,” The Game said. “That’s my lil n***a. Love that n***a to death,” he said, adding that he’s very inspired by artists like Cole, as well as Kendrick.
Hopefully, we’ll actually be receiving a new album from Kendrick Lamar in the weeks ahead. Peep the video below.
We all remember Terry Crews in the film White Chicks as he famously sang Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles,” but a recent sample of the song on Spinabenz, Whoppa Wit Da Choppa, Yungeen Ace and FastMoney Goon’s collaboration caused a stir. The group of artists released “Who I Smoke,” and because the track boasted violent lyrics, people condemed the rappers for chopping and screwing the Pop classic.
After receiving criticism from “A Thousand Miles” puritists, Vanessa Carlton hopped online to let folks know that she approves of the sample.
“To the white folks that have expressed anger/shock over my approval of A Thousand Miles’ usage in the Spinabenz, Whoppa Wit Da Choppa, Yungeen Ace, & FastMoney Goon song Who I Smoke, I invite you to ask yourself why you feel this way & then read this,” Carlton tweeted alongside a link to an article titled, “Share Cropping Blackness: White Supremacy and the Hyper-Consumption of Black Popular Culture.”
She added another thought as she shared a clip of a famous scene from a Quentin Tarantino favorite. “Popular songs accompanied by white violence or tales of white violence aren’t questioned. It’s considered visceral or cinematic,” she said. “Here we have Stuck in the Middle of you playing while a guy gets his ear cut off. Reservoir Dogs.”
She corrected herself after mistaking the title: “Stuck in the Middle with You” by Stealer’s Wheel. People applauded Carlton’s support of the track, especially following Mariah Carey’s disapporval of YTK’s “Let It Off,” a snog that sampled the singer’s classic hit, “Shake It Off.”
Check out the music video for “Who I Smoke” below.
