Soulja Boy Unveils “Rick N Morty” Remix Ft. Tory Lanez & Rich The Kid

by

It was only a few weeks back when Soulja Boy dropped a freestyle during a live stream that transformed into a viral smash. Similar to the release of “She Make It Clap,” Soulja Boy dropped some impromptu bars on a live stream of Fortnite when he was playing Rick Sanchez’s character. It didn’t take long for Soulja Boy to bank off of its organic success and follow it up with a studio version of the track. Ultimately, it caught the attention of Adult Swim who chose to include the song in the promotion of the show’s fifth season.

Soulja Boy’s keeping the momentum going with a brand new remix. Just days after unveiling Rich The Kid’s verse on the record, he’s now released the song’s official remix with another new verse from Tory Lanez who opens his verse with a reference to last summer’s shooting. 

Check it out below.

Quotable Lyrics
I’m in that lab doin’ fraud like I’m Rick, n***a
Neiman Marcus, debit cards, hope they hit n***a
He be hangin’ with them hoes a lot but I got something for that bitch, n***a
She better fuck me now while I’m still a rich n***a

SSGKobe may have just delivered one of the best music videos of the year. The young artist teamed up with director Cole Bennett to deliver “MIA” in visual form. The single is a catchy jam that finds SSGKobe vibing in autotune over a synth-heavy beat. It’s easy to see why the rookie is picking up steam. 

The music video places SSGKobe in many abstract and unique scenes, including one where a spider sits on his face while he raps, and another where he’s in a tub of fish and red-tinged water. The music video really draws you in, as it whirls around and spins SSGKobe and his crew around. Check out the single “MIA” and let us know what you think below. 

Quotable Lyrics
I sacrificed myself, like Jesus sacrifices for sins
I just got a Benz and I’ma push it through the wind
I just got a check and I’ma spend it on my friends
I’m lying, finna spend it on my Benz

The sounds of afrobeats are the perfect vibe for the summer and thankfully, Darkoo’s fusion of afrobeats along with elements of hip-hop and drill has helped soundtrack previous summers. Songs like “Gangsta” still ring off two years after its release but Darkoo’s subsequent releases have been effective in bringing a similar vibe while expanding her own sound.

This week, Darkoo delivered a vibe for the summer with her new EP, 2 In 1. The project is a quick 7-song effort with a run-time of a little over 20 minutes, making it a smooth listen from top to bottom. The project includes appearances from Tion Wayne, who appears on the previously released single, “Slow Down,” Unknown T, Gabzy, and Blanco.

Kanye West & Justin LaBoy Hang Out At Big3 Game

by

It seems that Kanye West might be getting ready to drop some new music, or at least we hope. The rapper’s been popping out more frequently, now that he’s made his way out of the Kardashian circle. And while things do seem to be heating up between himself and model Irina Shayk, ‘Ye isn’t allowing his newfound relationship interfere with public outings including a night out with Justin LaBoy.

Just a few days after tweeting that the world needs a new album from Kanye West, Justin LaBoy was seen entering the arena for the Big3 game on Saturday alongside the rap star. It was a turn of events that many wouldn’t expect but who doesn’t like a good game of basketball? Footage of a masked Kanye West walking into the building along with his entourage which included Mr. Demon Time. 

It seems that Kanye West was able to chop it up with Ice Cube at one point in the evening, as well. Another image popped up of Kanye, still wearing his mask, speaking to Cube courtside.

In related news, Kanye West could be dropping new music soon. A leaked image of a private invitation to a Kanye West listening party hit the Internet last night which many believe could be a sign that DONDA is actually on its way. No confirmation of that yet but we’ll keep you posted.

The Weeknd Helps Invest Over $2 Million Into Songfinch, A Personal Song Creator

The Weeknd is just one of many investors into the upcoming music app, Songfinch, a platform where users can have songs personally made for them. Per Music Business Worldwide, the Toronto singer, along with his manager and CEO of XO Records, Wassim Slaiby, are on the board of investors for Songfinch.

The Songfinch app was created by John Williamson, Rob Lindquist, Scott Kitun, and Josh Kaplan. The app allows users to select the style of music, along with the vibe of the song that they would like created. The company then chooses an artist to complete the song based on the information that the user provides. The information can range anywhere from stories, memories, and other personal things that the user shares with the app. The songs will cost $249 and will take 3 to 7 business days to be written, recorded, engineered, and delivered to the user who ordered the song.

While going into detail about the investment into Songfinch, Slaiby commented, “Congratulations to Josh Kaplan and his partners for building an incredible company and business.”

“We’re excited to be a part of it and continue to grow it together,” Slaiby continued.

The Weeknd’s investment into Songfinch is just one of many projects he has in the works. Still riding the high off of the success of After Hours, he’s also in talks to star and co-write a new show coming to HBO. Talks surrounding the HBO project are speculated to be the reason behind his recent sightings with Angelina Jolie.
