Toosii Steps Into The Drill Lane With Fivio Foreign For The Authoritative ‘Spin Music’

by

Despite rising to fame after growing up for most of his life in North Carolina, Toosii taps into his New York roots (he was born in Syracuse) to access the drill rap sound that exploded in the state thanks to names like Pop Smoke, Fivio Foreign, CJ, Rah Swish, and more on his newest single, “Spin Music” featuring Fivion Foreign.

The track arrives with a visual that opens with Toosii and Fivio surrounded by an array of dirt bikes, ATVs, and a few other flashy vehicles. Toosii heads indoors to fire off a confident verse while Fivio goes back and forth between the outdoor’s rowdiness and the company of a woman in the bedroom for his own contribution to the song.

“Spin Music” is one of ten new additions to the deluxe version of Toosii most recent project, Thank You For Believing. Presenting just one additional guest appearance from Hotboii, the updated body of work arrives under a new titled: Thank You For Believing (The Manifestation). The project also features the previously released single, “Head Over Hills.”

You can watch the flashy video for “Spin Music” above.

Thank You For Believing (The Manifestation) is out now via South Coast Music Group. Get it here.

Tyga Delivers Rump-Shaking “Mr. Bubblegum” Single

by

We’re taking it back to the 2000s on Tyga’s latest single as the California rapper gives a nod to a D4L classic. Tyga has developed a reputation of being a certified hitmaker as his summer-ready singles are club anthems and party favorites. He doesn’t stray from his title on his Friday (July 30) release “Mr. Bubblegum,” a name that is pulled from D4L’s 2005 classic “Laffy Taffy”—and a track that is also sampled on the single.

T-Raw also dropped off the visual to “Mr. Bubblegum” and, as expected, it features a bevy of women showing off their backsides. Tyga looks as if he’s in heaven as his face is wedged in between two voluptuous behinds, and lyrically, he talks about his sexual escapades while delivering a catchy hook that will surely be on rotation in strip clubs worldwide.

Stream “Mr. Bubblegum” and share your thoughts.

Quotable Lyrics

I’m a cold-ass rapper, I get hotter by the day
And she know I hit it first but I ain’t Ray J
Lock her with the blindfold but I don’t go on blind dates (Yeah)
It’s me motherf*cker, the one n*ggas love to hate (Yeah)

G-Eazy And EST Gee Refuse To Heed The Commands Of Anyone On The Ornery ‘At Will’

by

Since rising to fame with his 2014 debut album These Things Happen, G-Eazy has yet to go a full calendar year without sharing a project of some sort with his fans. The Bay Area act tallied four albums and five EPs in the seven years that followed and he’s showing no signs of slowing down. With the sequel project to that 2014 effort, These Things Happen Too, on the way, G-Eazy calls on EST Gee on his ornery new single, “At Will.”

The muscular effort finds the two rappers stepping up to whatever tries to stand in their way. G-Eazy leads the way with an opening verse that aims to separate himself from the competition. “They get to reachin’, that sh*t is pathеtic,” he raps. “They couldn’t walk in my shoes if I let ’em.” He then lends the mic to EST Gee, who delivers a similar verse while reflecting on his past actions. “I beat the streets, I ain’t goin’ to jail,” he says before adding, “It was killed or be killed, am I goin’ to hell?” The single also comes with a flashy visual that puts the two rappers beside a white Lamborghini and a whole lot of money to throw into the sky.

The new collaboration is expected to appear on G-Eazy’s These Things Happen Too, which he confirmed would arrive at some point this year. He also revealed that he’s recorded over 330 songs for the project, which already boasts “A Little More” with Kiana Lede and “Down” with Mulatto as potential lead singles. EST Gee, on the other hand, is just a little over a week removed from sharing Bigger Than Life Or Death, his second project of the year.

Ant Clemons, Ty Dolla Sign, And 2 Chainz Show ‘Appreciation’ To A Faithful Companion

by

Ant Clemons has tallied a decent number of accomplishments to his name for his fairly short music career. He’s already worked with a number of industry stars including Kanye West and he’s also been Grammy-nominated thanks to his debut project Happy 2 Be Here, which was recognized in the Best R&B Album category. Now, Clemons seemingly has his eyes set on a future project as he returns with a brand new single that seems him working beside Ty Dolla Sign and 2 Chainz.

The trio joins forces for their gratitude-filled track, “Appreciation.” The moody banger is led by Clemons’ warm proclamations and the sultry thoughts he delivers to the special companion in his life. Ty Dolla Sign follows him with a verse filled with similar thoughts before 2 Chainz closes things out with a contribution of his own filled with slick-talking bars.

The track arrives after Clemons recruited Kehlani for “Section” last month. He also teamed up with Justin Timberlake to drop “Better Days” at the end of last year. As for his collaborators, Ty Dolla Sign recently connected with 070 Shake and Swedish House Mafia for “Lifetime” while 2 Chainz surprised some fans by saying his next full-length release would be his “last trap album.”

You can listen to the trio’s collaboration in the video above.

Polo G Joins Morray For A Reflective Remix Of ‘Trenches’

by

Last fall, North Carolina produced a new rapper that caught the attention of the hip-hop world in Morray. He quickly joined the likes of Roddy Ricch, Gunna, and more as acts who spoke about their life experience through melodically told stories. Morray quickly proved that he’s far from a one-hit-wonder with the release of his debut project, Street Sermons. Among the many highlights on it, one of them is “Trenches,” a track that just received the remix treatment thanks to help from Chicago rapper Polo G. On it, he joins the North Carolina act to reflect on his younger days and the struggles he endured and overcame in order to enjoy the success he has now..

Street Sermons, which was released back in April, comes attached with other impressive tracks that include “Nothing Now,” “Mistakes,” and “Quicksand.” Shortly after he released the project, Morray was selected to this year’s XXL Freshman list with Coi Leray, DDG, Lakeyah, Flo Milli, Pooh Shiesty, Blxst, 42 Dugg, and more. He will also join J. Cole and 21 Savage for The Off-Season tour later this year.

As for Polo G, the remix comes after he teamed up with Gunna for “Waves” and shared videos for “Bless His Soul” with Fredo Bang as well as “Toxic.”

Press play on the video above to hear Polo G’s remix of “Trenches.”

Street Sermons is out now via Pick Six Recordings/Interscope. Get it here.

Isaiah Rashad Keeps ‘Score’ With SZA And 6lack On A Mellow, Drowned-Out Collaboration

by

In less than two months, fans will gear up to celebrate the five-year anniversary of Isaiah Rashad’s stellar debut album, The Sun’s Tirade. It’s an effort that was highly celebrated upon its release, and one that oftentimes receives a high ranking in discussions about hip-hop projects from the last half-decade. With that being said, some believed the anniversary would come without a new album from him as prior to today, Rashad had yet to drop a full-length follow-up to The Sun’s Tirade. Thankfully, that has changes tonight with the release of The House Is Burning.

The 16-track effort finally arrives for fans and one of its highlights is “Score” with SZA and 6lack. The well-constructed collaboration is led by mellow and drowned-out vocals from Rashad who opts for a bit of singing as opposed to rapping his way through the beat. SZA steps in for a rather small contribution to the song while 6lack delivers a strong verse of his own.

On the rest of The House Is Burning, listeners will hear guest appearances from Lil Uzi Vert, Jay Rock, Duke Deuce, Smino, Amindi, Jay Worthy, Doechii, Kal Banx, and YGTUT. The project is led by a group of singles that include, “Lay Wit Ya,” “Headshots (4r Da Locals),” and “From The Garden.”

Press play on Rashad, SZA, and 6lack’s “Score” in the video above.

The House Is Burning is out now via TDE/Warner. Get it here.

Ant Clemons Drops Slow Burner “Appreciation” Ft. 2 Chainz & Ty Dolla $ign

by

Grammy winner Ant Clemons is hoping that R&B fans will have his latest release on heavy rotation. He’s back with another single “Appreciation,” a track that taps both Ty Dolla $ign and 2 Chainz for assistance, and the sexy slow-burner is sure to be a late-night favorite. In his verse, 2 Chainz seems to direct his energy toward his wife as he speaks about the object of his affection birthing his children and holding him down. Clemons and Ty Dolla give more of a “sneaky link” vibe as they sing about throwing dollars and watching women “making it clap.”

This isn’t the first time that Clemons and Ty have linked, as the latter made an appearance on Clemons’s debut, HAPPY TO BE HERE. “Appreciation” isn’t Clemons’s only 2021 offering, either; he’s released other singles including “Section” with Kehlani, “Freak,” and “Better Days” along with Justin Timberlake.

Stream “Appreciation” and let us know what you think.

Balenci’s ain’t your style (No, oh-oh)
