T.F., Mephux, and Roc Marciano Release Bar-Heavy Collaborative Project “Blame Kansas,” With A Feature From Conway The Machine

by

T.F., Los Angeles storyteller and lyricist, is on a mission to bring street lyricism to the forefront and keep it there. Enlisting the production efforts of Mephux and Roc Marciano, the trio created a canvas for just that: slick talk and pavement punching innuendos, crafted for heavy listeners with a trained ear.

Not only does T.F. get his bars off across the 30 minute long body of work, he received some help from excellent spitters as well. The album features the likes of heavy hitter Conway The Machine, Crimeapple, Zoo, and Flee Lord. The tracklisting is as follows:

1. Blame Kansas
2. Olathe (ft. Conway The Machine)
3. Death Wish (ft. Bvngs and DJ Boogieman)
4. Crash Bandicoot
5. Intermission
6. Friend Of God (ft. Crimeapple)
7. Cuban Links (ft. Bale and LilBunko)
8. Betty Crocker
9. Long Way Home (ft. Zoo)
10. Fuck The Rest (ft. Flee Lord)

Blame Kansas is an impressive step up in quality from his most recent work, BIG MOON, which was a very solid showing in its own right. T.F. continues to find new ways to tell his stories, which is a crucial characteristic of a good artist.

As we know, a Ye album release is a very turbulent ride, with twists and turns becoming the inherent nature of these events entirely. The initial tracklist for Donda 2 was released by Ye himself on February 18th. Handwritten and not completely cemented, the listing for the songs can be seen below:

The release date for Donda 2 rolled around, and was accompanied by a DONDA EXPERIENCE PERFORMANCE held in Miami. Per usual, the tracklisting had alterations and changes en masse, structured differently than listed. A day later, the album performed at the live event were uploaded to the Stem Player. The listing for those, slated as Donda 2 V2.22.22, was as follows:

A “stadium version” of the track “True Love” was uploaded as well, serving to fit the title of this iteration as it was performed.

Now, yet another tracklist has been making rounds on social media. The listing was posted via Alexander Levi of Def Jam. While it’s not certain if all of these tracks will still make it into the Donda 2 album, or be released at all, we got a glimpse into what songs may still be worked on and added.

To add to the fact that changes are being made on the album, Ye posted pics to his Instagram page of he and Beach House, a well respected duo on the alternative scene:

Stay tuned to HNHH for more Donda 2 updates.

by

BigBankBeisha is back with more fire. This New Music Friday, the “Ride Good” rapper delivered a new bad bitch anthem and music video called “Play Me,” in which she sends out a warning to anyone “crazy” enough to “think [they] can play [her].”

“White all on my toes, Chanel slippers with my feet out (CC) / He eatin’ on this p*ssy, he said it’s smackin’ like a cookout / Used to be available, but every day I’m booked out (Busy) / Money talk big, bitch, yo’ pockets don’t make no sound (Shh),” Keisha raps on the song’s first verse.

LightSkinKeisha’s latest arrival has been receiving plenty of love from fans so far. “This woman has done nothing but dope music and I genuinely pray that her and her team gets the well-deserved notoriety coupled with millions of dollars soon. Amen,” one YouTube user wrote.

Others chimed in, “Everything she puts out is a perfect combo of sexy, hilarious, and bumpin,” and “You did it AGAIN sis!!! Keep it coming!”

Just a few months ago, the 27-year-old Georgia delivered her hit Break the Bank project, including titles like “In This Bitch,” “Blue Hunnids,” and “Freaky Dancer” featuring Trina – stream that here, and let us know how you feel about “Play Me” in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics:

N*ggas wanna chat, but they cannot afford me (Afford me)
Bitches throwing shade, you better Tom Ford me
Don’t give a f*ck about no bitch that came before me
Let me set the record straight, bitch, yo’ n*gga adore me
