Yung Bleu & Davido Stay Cold Hearted On “Unforgiving”

by

Yung Bleu is giving the R&B guys a run for their money these days. The Mobile, Alabama artist has gone through the ebbs and flows of the music industry but has still come out on top. There are few independent artists with songs alongside Drake, John Legend, and Chris Brown, to name a few.

On Friday, the rapper unveiled his official debut album, Moon Boy. Laced with 15 songs in total, his formal debut is an excellent display of his vocal chops, and the versatility he brings with just about anybody he works with. The rapper links up with Nigerian afrobeats star Davido on “Unforgiving.” It leans more towards Bleu’s moody take on R&B rather than afrobeats, though the influence lingers through the percussion. The two singers detail their first heartbreak and the impact that it still lingers on.

Quotable Lyrics
She ain’t got no more feeling, she wanna leave
I fucked her best friend, yes, I made it easy
Put on a bulletproof vest, love ain’t easy
Feel like a shot in the chest, I caught her cheatin’

Skip Bayless Finds New Way To Slander LeBron And Prop Up KD

by

In life, they say there are only two things that are guaranteed: death and taxes. However, philosophers failed to consider a third certainty. Of course, that certainty is Skip Bayless hating on LeBron James no matter what the occasion is. Whether he is appearing in Space Jam: A New Legacy, getting injured, or winning championships, you can be sure that Bayless is going to say something out of pocket about one of basketball’s greatest superstars.

With Team USA’s men’s Olympic basketball team beginning their Tokyo journey today, Bayless has been on high alert as he looks to slander LeBron in any way possible. One of LeBron’s biggest rivals is Kevin Durant, and with KD ready to lead this American team to another gold, Bayless saw the perfect opportunity to make a comment.

As Bayless explains, KD’s fake Twitter drama with Bam Adebayo was a sign that he is ready to have an incredible Olympic tournament and that he is akin to Michael Jordan. From there, Bayless took his swipe as he said this is something LeBron would never do.

“Sounds to me like KD is ready to show (again) he’s the best player in the world and lead Team USA to gold. Once again he has created some weird petty beef (with Bam) to motivate himself. This is Jordanesque. Who needs LeBron when we have KD?” Bayless wrote.

Overall, this whole thing is pretty silly and it speaks to what Bayless’ persona has become. At the end of the day, he plays the heel role well and his LeBron slander is something that will serve him well all the way to retirement.

by

Bryson Tiller has quickly become one of the biggest names in the world of r&b and whenever he drops, it is a massive event for his fans. At the start of his career, his releases seemed to be fairly far apart although these days, Tiller has made sure to keep a consistent inflow of new songs. More often than not, Tiller will drop songs without warning, and that is exactly what he did Saturday night as he dropped off a new song called “One Sided” on his SoundCloud.

This track features that spacey r&b sound that made Tiller so famous, all while the singer croons about trying to keep a relationship together despite the hardships. It’s one of those pop r&b songs that will sound good in any setting and there is no doubt that Tiller fans are going to love this effort.

You can stream this brand new song, below.

Quotable Lyrics:

You know I tried my very best, I didn’t give you nothing less, yes
But why is it when I’m stressed about things, girl, you forget
That I need what you need and that’s little more TLC, yes
Tell me wouldn’t you agree, yes? Maybe we rush things, yes

Young Thug Debuts New Song At Rolling Loud, Gives “PUNK” Update

If you’re a hip-hop fan, this past week has been pretty incredible when it comes to announcements. It all started with Kanye West who promised us that DONDA would be dropping on Friday. While Kanye ended up going back on that promise, he still delivered his live stream even in Atlanta which had Ye stans over the moon about his new body of work. Meanwhile, Travis Scott announced a new song called “Escape Plan” which he ended up performing at Rolling Loud last night.

The hard-hitting banger is likely from Scott’s upcoming album, Utopia, which he discussed during an interview with i-D, earlier this year.

“I never tell people this, and I’m probably going to keep it a secret still, but I’m working with some new people and I’m just trying to expand the sound,” Scott told the outlet. “I’ve been making beats again, rapping on my own beats, just putting everything together and trying to grow it really. That’s been one of the most fun things about working on this album. I’m evolving, collaborating with new people, delivering a whole new sound, a whole new range.”

Check out Scott’s performance below.
