Lil Durk, Latto, & Don Toliver Unite On “Fast Lane” From “F9” Soundtrack

by

We’re two weeks away from the release of the ninth installment of the Fast & Furious franchise, and to hype its release, we’ve been receiving doses from the film’s soundtrack. Last week, Ty Dolla $ign, Jack Harlow, and 24kGoldn shared their trifecta collaboration “I Won,” a single that arrived with a fast-paced music video. On Friday (June 11), Don Toliver, Lil Durk, and Latto shared their addition with a track called “Fast Lane,” and as the title suggests, expect to hear references that complement the film.

Toliver holds down the melodic hook as Durk and newly-dubbed Latto spit bars about the fast life. F9 hits theaters on June 25 and is expected to be the latest blockbuster in the hitmaking series that breaks box office records with each new release. Stream Durk, Toliver, and Latto’s “Fast Lane” and let us know what you think of the rap trio’s collaboration.

Quotable Lyrics

F*ck it, take ’em on to high speed, I’m too reckless
Demon time whеn I’m in that demon, they can’t catch me
Bеt they get the message, I’m the best of the bestest
B*tch, I get the bag and blow it, you get yours and you stretch it
I be living life fast, I pray to God I won’t wreck it
And I’m still waiting for a b*tch to check it
Who want the smoke? Better hope you don’t choke

Tyga Delivers A Twerk Anthem On “Splash” Ft. Moneybagg Yo

by

He knows how to pen a party anthem and Tyga has returned with his latest offering. Tyga has been teasing his Moneybagg Yo-assisted “Splash” for weeks after promising to drop the track back in May. It’s unclear why it didn’t arrive back then, but fans were excited to receive the single at the top of Friday (June 11) morning. It looks as if we’ll have to wait for the official music video, but Tyga has been sharing enough clips for us to piece together what we can expect.

In the videos Tyga has posted to his Instagram, the visual for “Splash” will include half-naked women, lots of twerking, and possible cameos from YG and Alexander “AE” Edwards. If “Splash” sounds familiar, it’s because the track samples “We Want Some P*ssy,” a raunchy 2 Live Crew classic from their debut 1986 album The 2 Live Crew is What We Are. Stream Tyga and Moneybagg Yo’s X-rated party single “Splash” and let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics

Gon’ do it off the rip but she get wetter when I beg for it
Backshots ’til she tap out, arch her back and push her head forward
F*cked her ’til her n*gga got off work, snuck out when he wasn’t looking
He like, “Baby, why it smell like badussy?” Booty, d*ck, and p*ssy

Polo G And Nicki Minaj Offer A Heartbreak Tale On The Reggae-Influenced ‘For The Love Of New York’

by

Polo G is undoubtedly one of the best acts in this generation’s crop of rappers. After making a name for himself with his debut album, 2019’s Die A Legend, the Chicago native took a big step upward with last year’s The GOAT, an effort that was one of the better hip-hop releases in 2020. Now, for the third consecutive year, Polo G steps forth with a new album, one of that stands as his most collaborative effort yet. Hall Of Fame arrives with 20 tracks to its name, one which features a highlight guest appearance from Nicki Minaj who appears on “For The Love Of New York.”

The duo’s first track together is a reggae-influenced effort that sees Polo and Minaj detailing their sides of an unfortunate heartbreak. The former reveals his own faults in the relationship with lines like “Tryna figure out my feelings, I’m confusin’ you / Where I’m from, happy endings are unusual” and “Girl, if I wasn’t so heartless, you could have mine.” Nicki arrives for the final verse of the song to reveal how the failed relationship affected her. “You triggerin’ my anxiety in the worst way,” she says. “Sometimes, the best thing you could do is step away.”

As for the rest of Hall Of Fame, the project is led by Polo’s No. 1 single “Rapstar” and features additional contributions from The Kid Laroi, Lil Durk, Lil Wayne, Scorey, G Herbo, Rod Wave, DaBaby, Young Thug, Roddy Ricch, Pop Smoke, and Fivio Foreign.

IDK Announces His Second Album ‘USee4Yourself’ With His Exuberant New Single, ‘Peloton’

by

The wait for IDK’s upcoming sophomore album has gone on for a year and a half. It tracks back to the release of his major-label debut album Is He Real? at the end of 2019. However, over this duration, the DMV rapper made the wait for album No. 2 fairly easy thanks to his 2020 project, IDK & Friends 2, as well as a boatload of singles that all proved IDK only sharpened his rap skills. Thankfully, good things come to those that wait as IDK finally shared a release date for his sophomore album, titled USee4Yourself, with his new single, “Peloton.”

The track begins with a sample of UGK and Outkast’s classic song, “Int’l Players Anthem (I Choose You)” as IDK raps the first line of his song in the same tune that Andre 3000 did on the 2007 song. “Peloton,” which begins with soulful vocals that sit behind IDK’s raps, sees a quick switch up that brings a jolt of energy to the track as IDK flexes some muscle after a woman labels him as the one for her.

Along with the song, IDK confirmed that USee4Yourself will arrive on July 9, leaving just a few weeks until the project and its 17 songs land in the hands of listeners.

You can press play on the song in the video above.

USee4Yourself is out 7/9 via Clue No Clue/Warner Records. Pre-order it here.

Megan Thee Stallion Terrorizes A Grumpy Senator Who Hated On Her In The Wild ‘Thot Sh*t’ Video

by

Last year was certainly a turbulent 12 months for Megan Thee Stallion, but things ended in her favor as she concluded 2020 with her official debut album, Good News. Months after its release, a few music videos, and some live performances, the Houston native decided to take a break before the next chapter in her career. In what she called a “period of regeneration,” the rapper announced some time off in order to “prepare for what’s next.” Thankfully, it only lasted a little over a month as Megan returns with “Thot Sh*t.”

The new single comes with a video that follows the rapper as she terrorizes a congressman who had some choice YouTube comments about her “Body” video. From pouring coffee on him to interrupting his peaceful bath, Megan successfully makes him regret his ill comments. “Thot Sh*t” marks the Houston native’s return as Tina Snow, a fan-favorite alter-ego of the rapper that was popularized thanks to her 2018 mixtape of the same title. The project featured highlight records like “Big Ol Freak” and “Freak Nasty,” which both flaunt the raunchy agenda that present on her new single.

Prior to the song’s release, Megan spoke about the song on Twitter after a fan asked her for the inspiration behind the song. “I’m really just talking sh*t and taking ownership of the words ‘thot’ and ‘hoe,’” she wrote. “Bc they’re not the drag the men think it is when trying to come at women for doing them.”

Even though I’m in a good mood, I fuck you like I’m pissed off
And don’t give me no attitude, you gon’ make my dick soft

Since cleaning up his lifestyle and adopting a healthier way of living, French Montana hasn’t slowed down.

Doja Cat Turns Up The Heat On “Need To Know”

by

We’re weeks away from receiving Planet Her and Doja Cat is ready for fans to get a taste of what she’s worked on. Back in April, Doja gave fans “Kiss Me More,” her collaboration with SZA from her forthcoming album, and she’s ready to share her next single, “Need to Know.” This time, the California artist opted to share a song where she’s flying solo and that’s a choice that has spelled success for her in the past. She stood alone on both “Say So” and “Streets,” and both tracks earned her massive popularity on social media, particularly TikTok.

Doja Cat’s fans aren’t the only ones excited about Planet Her as her collaborator, The Weeknd, can’t stop singing her praises, either. He makes an appearance on the record and recently applauded Doja’s talents when speaking with Billboard. “Doja is a star, and has created a unique universe you just want to lose yourself in,” he said. “She’s got such drive and vast creative vision that we will be seeing her impact for a very long time to come.”
