OVO Chubbs Likes IG Post Mocking ASAP Rocky’s New Drake Diss

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

OVO Chubbs has been riding with Drake for a decade. He’s appeared in videos and been spotted at parties with the Toronto superstar. He was even referenced by Kendrick Lamar on “Not Like Us.” The longtime OVO member has remained loyal to Drake, though, as evidenced by his recent social media activity. OVO Chubbs decided to like an Instagram post that poked fun at ASAP Rocky’s new single, “Ruby Rosary.” The single includes bars aimed at Drake, and like most people, Chubbs was not very impressed with what he heard.

@Keep6Solid made the initial IG post. It’s a pro-Drake account, as evidenced by the 6, and proceeded to lay into ASAP Rocky. The headline for the post made fun of both Rocky’s looks and his relationship with his more famous partner, Rihanna. The headline described the ASAP star as a “Metrosexual rapper and full-time kept man.” It also poked fun at J Cole, who was previously on Drake’s side before switching up. Cole contributed a verse to “Ruby Rosary,” confirming that he’s anti Aubrey moving forward. “J Cole is a slimeball,” the caption read. OVO Chubbs was seemingly onboard with both of these sentiments. He liked the post from his personal account.

OVO Chubbs’ IG Like Also Takes Shots At J Cole

ASAP Rocky’s bars are, admittedly, pretty weak. “Ruby Rosary” is a good song overall, and Cole skates, but Rocky stumbles when it comes to dissing Drizzy. Cut the sh*t, cut the lies, word to the wise,” he raps. “Who in your top five? Haha (F*ck your top five).” It’s clearly in reference to Drake, who has several top 5 bars under his belt. That said, nothing is really being said. It doesn’t get much better when ASAP Rocky tries to riff on Drake’s “Family Matters” and his “Buried Alive” interlude from 2011.

“I don’t get fresh step, b*tch, I’m buried alive,” Rocky raps. “I heard dawg talkin’ funny, like it’s Family Guy. Carin’ for n**gas like I’m Mary or Bob.” More nothing. It’s telling that Drake has become the loser of the 2024 rap beef when it comes to Kendrick Lamar. When it comes to ASAP Rocky, though, everyone agrees that Drizzy got the best of him each time out. OVO Chubbs didn’t go out of his way to bash his Harlem competitor, but his like made it clear that Rocky fell short.

Chrisean Rock Reunites With Son After Being Released From Prison: Watch

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock has had a difficult 2024. The rapper was arrested while attending a hearing for the father of her child, Blueface. She was subsequently accused of possession of controlled dangerous substances with intent to distribute. According to TMZ, she was also accused of failure to have a tax stamp affixed to the substances in question. The rapper faced up to eight years in prison. There were rumors of her being released soon, but no concrete dates were given. It turns out that September 6 was the fateful day. The rapper was set free, and allowed to reunite with her son.

A video of Chrisean Rock holding and kissing her son was uploaded to Instagram. The rapper also wrote a lengthy, heartfelt message about how much her son means to her. “To be with you today,” Rock wrote. “Set free a couple days from your birthday is a blessing.” The rapper was behind bars when her son had his first birthday, and she admitted that missing out is something she’s going to struggle with for a long time. “Missing a significant event like a first birthday can bring feelings of sadness or regret,” she added. “But it’s also an opportunity to reflect.”

Chrisean Rock Regrets Missing Her Son’s First Birthday

Chrisean Rock was initially hesitant to turn herself in because she didn’t want to miss crucial time with her son. She made this point very clear during an Instagram Live prior to her arrest. “I have my son,” she asserted. “The old me would’ve just turned myself in… Right now I gotta play it cautious because, you know, I don’t plan on being in jail while my son is growing.” The cautious plan did not work out, however, and Chrisean Rock wound up having to miss her son’s birthday regardless.

The charges against Chrisean Rock stem from a 2022 incident. She was pulled over by police for an unpaid traffic toll, and the officers in question smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle. A search led to the discovery of roughly one pound of cannabis inside the car. Rock’s next court date is September 27. If convicted on both of the aforementioned counts, the rapper will be behind bars for the better part of a decade.

Lil Durk Teases New Music After Dissing Current State Of Hip Hop

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Durk isn’t happy with the way things are going. He may be a Grammy-winning superstar, but he thinks hip hop is in a bad way. He made this clear on September 6. The rapper took to Twitter to vent about the genre and its shortcomings. “Hip hop ain’t what it used to be…,” he wrote. He didn’t get too specific with why or how the genre has let him down, but it has nonetheless. Lil Durk solution? To drop new music of his own. The rapper followed up his hot take with an Instagram announcement that he’s hungry to take over the rest of 2024.

Lil Durk hopped on Instagram and made it clear that he has new music on the way. The rapper recorded himself listening to an unreleased song, while the caption laid out his game plan. “F*ck numbers,” it read. “Feed the streets… Smurk back hungry.” The song in question is “Discontinuing Wockhardt,” the Drake collab that Adin Ross previewed a few days earlier. There’s a bit of hypocrisy in criticizing the rap game and then linking up with Drake for a new single, but Lil Durk stood on business. He thinks something is off, and he feels like he’s the guy to remedy it.

Lil Durk Teased The Release Of His New Drake Collab

Lil Durk has been transparent about his emotions over the years. He’s been outspoken in the past, but he’s also been forthright about his experiences in therapy. He shed light on the latter during an interview with Complex. “I got a therapist so I cope different,” the rapper explained. “You know, it don’t just gotta be I’m finna go take all these drugs, or I’m finna go get my feelings like this. I got my family, I got my girl, I got a therapist, I got my kids and I got the studio.”

Lil Durk’s criticisms about the genre are not wrong, even if they are vague. There’s been a general sense of uncertainty about hip hop in 2024. If your name isn’t Drake, Kendrick Lamar, or Travis Scott, it seems to be very difficult to move units. Mustard and YG fell victim to this in recent months. Big Sean, who just dropped his anticipated comeback album, just had the worst first week sales of his career. Durk is merely voicing what a lot of fans have been feeling. Is he using this feeling to generate hype for his new music? Sure. Such is the nature of the game.

Playboi Carti Confirms Anticipated “All Red” Music Video Is Coming Soon

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti is a tough person to pin down. He’s become one of the most elusive artists in hip hop, and it’s very much by design. The rapper realized that there’s strength in keeping fans off balance. And he’s proceeded to do just that since the release of his breakout tape Die Lit. Playboi Carti has kept fans on the edge of their seats with regards to his upcoming album, despite failing to provide anything in the way of info or a concrete release date. That said, it looks like the rollout is finally underway. “All Red” is almost here.

It started out as a rumor. There was social media chatter that a music video for the anticipated Playboi Carti song was being shot. Naturally, there was a decent amount of skepticism. Hitta J3 tweeted that he was bringing Carti to a specific location for the “All Red” video shoot the weekend of September 6. It was a claim that wouldn’t have gotten much traction, were it not for the fact that Carti himself confirmed it. He reposted the Hitta J3 tweet on his Instagram Story with an excited caption. “5 Suuuuwoooo gang, and if u ain’t wit it den u in ah foodchain,” he wrote.

Playboi Carti Confirmed The Rumors On His IG Story

This is huge. Playboi Carti has been working on his upcoming album for years, but the last week or so has provided some encouraging signs. The rapper did a cover story with Billboard in which he talked about his nontraditional recording process. It was the sort of story that someone does when they have new music on the way, and it provided a glimmer of hope. Then there was the recent Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players Awards.

The rapper was given the first award of his career, somehow, on September 5. His acceptance speech was brief, but he did take time out to pay respect to the late Rich Homie Quan. Playboi Carti has yet to provide a release date or even a proper title for his new album, but the fact that he’s shooting a music video for a lead single has fans understandably excited. It truly feels as though the long wait is coming to a close. I Am Music, or whatever the album will be called, is getting closer to release every day. We can’t wait to see what the “All Red” music video looks like.

Shaboozey Delivers Live Performance Of “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” In Vevo Studios

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Vevo, the world’s leading music video network, announces the release of Shaboozey’s live performance of “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” off his album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going.

Shaboozey blends country and hip-hop genres, creating songs that feel as epic as a movie; gripping, unpredictable, immense in scope but rooted in raw emotion. On his new album, Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, Shaboozey charts a cinematic road trip through the wilds of the American West, bringing a powerful new depth to his storytelling whilst pushing further into the country/folk-inspired sound he’s explored in recent years.

Originally from Northern Virginia, Shaboozey pulls inspiration from other DMV artists like Missy Elliot, Pharell and Timbaland. After a decade of perfecting his sound, Shaboozey skyrocketed to the mainstream after being featured in two songs on Beyonce’s Cowboy Carter album: “Sweet Honey Buckiin” and “Spaghetti.” His album, Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, was released shortly after, with the standout single “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” built around J-Kwon’s 2004 hit, “Tipsy.” The track most recently became the longest-running #1 single in the Hot 100 of 2024, having now been in the top spot for eight weeks and counting.

“I’ve been doing music for such a long time, I’ve put a lot of time and years into it,” Shaboozey said in a recent interview, “I put so much into it that I feel like it’s just cool to see it working. Everybody hopes it works. To see it actually working, it’s unreal.”

On Vevo, Shaboozey has garnered over 147 million global views in 2024 so far, with the official video for “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” currently Vevo’s #1 most-viewed country video this year.

Big Sean Reveals Plans To Reunite With Jhene Aiko For New TWENTY88 Album

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Big Sean is on a creative roll. The rapper has finally dropped his anticipated comeback album, Better Me Than You, and he has even more music on the way. He previously alluded to new music during an IG Live session, but he confirmed it during a recent interview with Complex. Not only is Sean working on another full length project, but he’s doing so with the mother of his child, Jhene Aiko. The two artists have a long history of working together, and they’ve may be considering a sequel to their 2016 joint album.

Big Sean has not slowed down one bit since the release of the aforementioned Better Me Than You. If anything, the rapper has hit the gas and decided to put even more work in. He told Complex that he has plans to reunite TWENTY88 for a new album in the near future. “I’ve been looking at [the album] as a living, breathing being because I decided to put it out this week,” he told the outlet. “I was going to keep holding onto it.”

Big Sean Has Been Working With Alchemist For Years

Big Sean’s recording process has been somewhat scattered. Still, he told the outlet that he wants to make sure they end up in the right place. For example, he pointed to a Nicki Minaj collab as a track that would fit better on a TWENTY88 album. “One of the Twenty88 songs,” the rapper noted. “I was like, ‘Oh, it kind of fits better on the album,’ but it wasn’t all the way done yet.” The album sales for Better Me Than You have not been spectacular. That said, we’re excited to see what Sean has in store regardless.

Big Sean also has plans for a joint album with The Alchemist. They worked together on a standout cut for Larry June’s The Great Escape, and Alc produced the song “Together Forever” on the new Sean album. Fans may have anticipated more Alchemist beats on Better Me Than You, but it seems Big Sean was saving them. “That’s part of a side quest I’m doing with Alchemist that me and him been locked in on,” the rapper revealed. “So, excited about that.” He then confirmed that a full length album between him and The Alchemist is in the works. “That’s a project that me and Alchemist are working on together,” he explained. “So that’s why that part is not on the album.”
