HoodRich Pablo Juan Taps Young Thug, Gunna & More For “Designer Dope Boyz”

Despite beginning his rap career around seven years ago, Atlanta-bred trapper HoodRich Pablo Juan already boasts a lengthy discography. Similar to his label-boss Gucci Mane, the 10/17 Records signee has an extensive mixtape discography that has earned him a dedicated fanbase. The rapper’s distinct relaxed and confident cadence has also earned him considerable attention. 

His latest effort Designer Dope Boyz is almost an entirely solo endeavor, aside from appearances from Young Thug and Gunna on “On Fleek” and subsequent appearances from Peewee Longway on “Bio,” “Big Bear” with Yak Gotti, and “Richest In The Building” with Icewear Vezzo. Pablo and Gunna have previously collaborated back in 2019 on the smooth cut “Just Vibe,” while he’s previously linked up with Thugger on Screaming Slatt. The 14-track tape is nothing short of trap excellence and would surely make Gucci proud.

Frank Ocean Makes A Brief Uncredited Appearance On Tyler The Creator’s New Album

New Frank Ocean music is a rare thing. His last album, Blonde, came out in 2016, and he’s only released a handful of songs since then. However, today brings new music from Ocean that we weren’t expecting, as he makes a surprise appearance on Call Me If You Get Lost, the new album from Odd Future associate Tyler The Creator.

Ocean pops up on “Lemonhead,” although he doesn’t appear to be credited for it on streaming platforms. Ocean comes in during the latter half of the two-minute song. As Tyler sings, Ocean offers a few spoken-word lines, saying, “My bro is runnin’ his finger around th-the Ai Weiwei, Ai Veivei bowl. I got that sh*t sittin’ on my counter like a fruit bowl, that’s like a hundred racks. I like the color green, in every shade. I like life. Mine, like, my life. Don’t f*cking bite, y’all n****s love to steal.”

Ocean’s lyrics reference artist and activist Ai Weiwei, whose work titled “Bowls Of Pearls” — which consists of two porcelain bowls filled with pearls, made to look like bowls of rice — sold for $391,500.

Listen to “Lemonhead” above.

Call Me If You Get Lost is out 6/25 vie Columbia Records. Pre-order it here.

Royce Royce Da 5’9″ & Lupe Fiasco Trade Bars On Instagram

This month marked the four-year anniversary of Royce Da 5’9″‘s fourth installment in his Bar Exam mixtape series and eleventh mixtape overall, The Bar Exam 4. As previously reported upon its release, The Bar Exam was riddled with mind-blowing bars, and over 28 tracks, Nickle bodied instrumentals from Playboi Carti, Future, Shelley FKA DRAM, and Big Sean, among several notable Hip-Hop artists.

One track, in particular, stood out though: “C. Delores,” the first actual song on The Bark Exam 4, which found Royce Da 5’9″ attacking Lupe Fiasco’s 2015 track “Mural.” Four years later, it looks like Royce is still impressed with his work on the mixtape, as he has been sharing snippets of songs like “C. Delores” to his Instagram.

“I tried to put the fear of God in you on here @lupefiasco [arrow on target emoji],” Royce said in the caption of his “C. Delores” post. “You, Los, soul and Cyhi was on my list of people to terminate.. Y’all were too good and y’all talked too gotdam much….”

Having been tagged in Royce’s post, Lupe Fiasco responded to his podcast co-host’s post, and to many users’ surprise, his response came in the form of bars.

“That’s very @jerrylorenzo of you, to recognize when somethings above,” Lupe writes back. “But you can save that futuristic ball of lightning you call excitement over ya writin for Sean’s momma, Connor meets Contra honestly but even Popeye can move a biscuit so my mantras is calm conquers, don’t use the mirror mirror on that wall with too much gaul you’ll call monsters.”

Lupe continues his caption/verse by writing, “Coach out don dada’s shottas from all under up the couch and not no Paul Gasols potna, pour gasoline all over those softly evolved entourage sponsored psalms, you’ve already been solved, if you saw my true scrawls you would dissolve, don’t invite war if you can’t rap around raw, I mean you’ll catch L’s and W’s that’s just the law, I snuck the tech in even though security saw, hens be havin chickens thinking it’s all gravy because they ran with the slaw, naw…”

Do you think these lyrics are from a shelved Lupe Fiasco song directed towards Royce or is this simply an off-the-top response to Royce’s latest post?

Britney Spears Apologizes To Fans For “Pretending” To Be Okay For Years In Her Conservatorship

Nearly 24 hours after speaking out against her conservatorship case, Britney Spears is making her first public statement to fans, sharing an Albert Einstein quote and apologizing for pretending to be okay for the past two years when she wasn’t.

Taking to her IG, Britney posted a quote from Albert Einstein that reads, “If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” Alongside the quote, Spears said, “I believe as people we all want the fairy tale life and by the way I’ve posted … my life seems to look and be pretty amazing … I think that’s what we all strive for.”

Britney then went on to apologize to fans for pretending to be okay the past couple of years, saying she felt embarrassed to share what really happened to her. “I apologize for pretending like I’ve been ok the past two years … I did it because of my pride and I was embarrassed to share what happened to me,” she continued. “Believe it or not pretending that I’m ok has actually helped … so I decided to post this quote today because by golly if you’re going through hell … I feel like Instagram has helped me have a cool outlet to share my presence … existence … and to simply feel like I matter despite what I was going through and hey it worked … so I’ve decided to start reading more fairy tales.”

This all comes just a day after Britney accused her father, Jamie Spears, of being “abusive” and controlling during her court hearing. “I’ve been in denial. I’ve been in shock. I am traumatized. You know, fake it till you make it, but now I’m telling you the truth, OK,” she said. “I’m not happy. I can’t sleep. I’m so angry, it’s insane and I’m depressed. I cry every day,” Britney said in court this week. “It’s enough and it makes no sense at all… I’m done,” Britney continued, accusing her father and those involved in her conservatorship of “criminal” behaviour. “I want to sue my family, to be totally honest with you.”

We’ll continue to keep you posted on Britney’s conservatorship case moving forward. #FreeBritney

Tyler, The Creator & Domo Genesis Reunite On “Manifesto”

When Tyler, The Creator surprised fans with his new single “LUMBERJACK,” and they heard DJ Drama doing his signature commentary throughout the hard-hitting track, many speculated that Tyler would be in rare form on his new project. Well this Friday, the day has come. The former Odd Future artist has finally released his sixth studio album Call Me If You Get Lost, and critics have already been calling it the culmination of all of his previous work.

Considering that the album hasn’t even been out for a full 24 hours, we’ll let you decide where Call Me If You Get Lost ranks within Tyler, The Creator’s discography, but if there is one song on the album that brings back memories of Tyler’s early work, it’s “MANIFESTO.” The three-minute album cut features Tyler’s longtime collaborator Domo Genesis, and it’s sure to send Odd Future fans into a frenzy.

From crazy beat switches to Tyler admitting that he used to want to have sex with Justin Bieber, “MANIFESTO” is a must-listen. Check it out below, and listen to the rest of Call Me If You Get Losthere.

Quotable Lyrics

I came a long way from my past, n*gga, it’s obvious
V12 engine, I’m fishtailin’ on some sloppy sh*t (Skrrrrt)
Internet bringin’ old lyrics up, like I hide the sh*t
What’s your address, I could probably send you a copy, b*tch
I was canceled before canceled was with Twitter fingers (Haha)
Protestin’ outside my shows, I gave them the middle finger (F*ck ’em)
