NBA YoungBoy & Rod Wave Link On “Everything Different” From Kawhi Leonard’s “Culture Jam”

by

The relationship between basketball and Hip Hop stretches back to the inception of the genre, and Kawhi Leonard wants to continue to nurture that fusion. The Los Angeles Clippers star recently revealed plans for his Culture Jam music project and we finally get to hear the first peek into what Leonard has in store. After teasing the “Everything Different” single with NBA YoungBoy and Rod Wave, the basketball star has delivered.

“The ‘Culture Jam’ project, it’s just merging Hip Hop and basketball together, you know what I mean,” Leonard told Mikey Williams at the top of the month. “Pretty much, coming from our background, it goes hand-in-hand. So, May 7th we got NBA YoungBoy and Rod Wave dropping a single. It’s fire. I appreciate you for being involved in it as well.”

Additionally, Leonard also shared that portions of Culture Jam‘s proceeds will be donated to a good cause. “It’s just something that could uplift our community,” he said during a press conference. “And, you know, a portion of each stream is gonna go to the Mamba & Mambacita Foundation. It’s just something good for the community, you know what I mean?”

Stream “Everything Different” and let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics

Just rolled the dice, think it out twice before crossin’ on me
My arms was open for you, homie, whatever you need
And my eyes was open for you, woadie, I clearly can see
They’ll take your kindness for a weakness
Keep you kindness, Ion’t need it
I was blind but now I see it

Juice WRLD’s “Goodbye & Good Riddance” Gets Anniversary Release With 2 New Tracks

by

It’s an album that didn’t necessarily make major waves when it was first released back on May 23, 2018, but after the massive success of “Lucid Dreams,” Juice WRLD’s debut album was certified Platinum by the end of the year. In celebration of Goodbye & Good Riddance‘s third anniversary, a special edition rerelease has been shared with two additional songs. The tracklist has been updated with “734” and a remix to “Lucid Dreams” ft. Lil Uzi Vert. Much like the original release, Uzi is the lone feature on the album.

The world suffered a tremendous loss back in December 2019 when Juice WRLD tragically passed away, but his music has continued to live on. There have been several posthumous releases, including his third album Legends Never Die, and in just two weeks, fans will once again hear him—this time on Maroon 5’s upcoming project.

Earthgang And Wale Welcome Coi Leray For A Boastful Remix Of ‘Options’

by

Earthgang has been patiently waiting for a while now to get the ball rolling for their upcoming sophomore album, Ghetto Gods. After a bit of a wait, it appears that the Dreamville duo is now in full rollout mode for the project. Their latest release isn’t a brand new single, but rather, a remix of a past track that definitely deserved more love than it got. Earthgang recruits Coi Leray for a fresh take of “Options,” a track that also carries a verse from Wale. The new version begins with Leray crooning through a verse focused on her options in the dating world while the rap duo provides new verses for listeners to enjoy.

Johnny Venus of Earthgang previously spoke about the underwhelming success of “Options” on their most recent track, “Aretha.” “‘Options‘ dropped, barely made a sound, damn / I guess we let Nas and Cole down,” he said. The new remix joins a string of recent releases that will hopefully bring us to the release of Ghetto Gods. In addition to the “Options” remix and “Aretha,” Earthgang also shared a remix of Drake’s “Lemon Pepper Freestyle.”

Coi Leray has also been active lately. She recently dropped her third single of the year with “Bout Me” and shortly after, she joined DDG and OG Parker for “Impatient.”

You can press play on the remix above.

Wale is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Blxst And Bino Rideaux Promise A Silky Smooth ‘Movie’ On Their Latest Collaboration

by

Based on their work last year, Bino Rideaux and Blxst seemed primed to come out of the West Coast and reach the masses this year. The duo’s popularity increased after they joined forces for their 2019 joint EP, Sixtape. Nearly two years later, Blxst and Rideaux are getting ready to run it back for a second time with the impending release of Sixtape 2. Before fans of both rappers can get their hands on the new effort, the pair kicks off the rollout for Sixtape 2 with their new track, “Movie.” The single sees the artists showing love to their respective partners and promising for a good time if they stick by their sides.

Sixtape 2 was originally teased on Blxst’s “Forever Humble,” which appeared on the deluxe reissue of his 2020 project, No Love Lost. “Bino my brudda, won’t forget what you told me / 6tape, mixtape but classic facts only,” he raps. “They want us to double back / Wouldn’t be surprised if part two got a f*ckin’ plaque.”

As for Bino Rideaux, he saw a breakout year of his own in 2020 thanks to his Outside album. Its fifteen songs gave fans a better look at who he was as an artist and even earned a co-sign from Young Thug, who later joined him for a remix of “Mismatch.”

You can listen to “Movie” in the video above.

Eminem Delivers A Cross-Generation Collab With Jack Harlow And Cordae On Their Remix Of ‘Killer’

by

At this point in his career, many of Eminem’s releases come as surprises to his fan base. This trend dates back to his 2018 album, Kamikaze, which arrived with no announcement. He did the same in 2020 with his eleventh album, Music To Be Murdered By, a project he later shared a deluxe reissue for with no promotion. Once again, Eminem is back to his surprising ways as he recruited a pair of names some may not have expected him to work with for a new remix. The Detroit rapper called up Jack Harlow and Cordae to collaborate with him on an updated take of “Killer.”

The original track can be found on the deluxe version of Music To Be Murdered By. The track’s production fits the young rappers like Harlow and Cordae more so than one would imagine it does Eminem, but the trio combats the D.A. Got That Dope-produced beat with ease for what proves to be a solid cross-generational collaboration. Harlow and Cordae lead the way with brief verses of their own before Eminem steps in to rap for nearly two straight minutes. In that time he delivers his trademark tongue-twisting bars and also confirms he and Snoop Dogg are on good terms following their past beef.

The remix comes after some decent activity from Harlow and Cordae. The latter launched his own label, Hi-Level Productions, and dropped his Just Until… EP while the former appeared on Saturday Night Live and a trailer for the third season of Call Of Duty: Warzone.

Hit play on the remix in the video above.

Erica Banks & BeatKing Add DreamDoll To “Toot That (Remix)”

by

She’s positioning herself to be the next woman in the Rap game to storm the charts and following the viral success of her single “Buss It,” Erica Banks isn’t slowing down. The 1501 Certified Entertainment artist has often been pitted against Megan Thee Stallion due to them emerging from the same label, but Banks is over the comparisons. The Texas rapper introduced her single “Toot That” last year, offering up a music video in the Fall, and over six months later, she’s back with a remix.

The original version featured BeatKing and this time around, she’s called on New York firecracker DreamDoll to assist. The explicit track isn’t for the faint of heart as the trio spit bars about bedroom antics, but it’s doesn’t come as a surprise to those familiar with these artist’s catalogs. Stream Erica Banks’s “Toot That (Remix) featuring BeatKing and DreamDoll, and let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics

Throw it in rotation, make that n*gga get up on it, b*tch
Do it like you nasty, do it like you own it, b*tch
Thick ass, got a lil’ junk to it (Junk to it)
Big booty, got a lil’ bump to it (Bump to it)
Throw it back quick, he’ll run to it (Uh)

Earthgang & Wale Tap Coi Leray For “Options (Remix)”

by

Dreamville duo Earthgang first shared their Wale-assisted collaboration “Options” back in December 2020, but it looks as if they were awaiting the right moment to drop the single’s remix. There are plenty of choices when it comes to who they could have added to the upgraded version and the team decided that “No More Parties” hitmaker Coi Leray would be the perfect person. Leray’s career has been on a steady climb as her singles have been buzzing on the charts, and after going Platinum, the young artist is enjoying her time in the limelight.

This release comes on the heels of the news that Coi Leray earned her first BET Awards nomination, and after celebrating her accomplishment online, she faced off with a few trolls that tried to dim her light. There was a back and forth with Yung Bleu that also boiled down to a misunderstanding, and after they set the record straight, Bleu praised Leray for her talents.

Check out “Options (Remix)” with Earthgang, Wale, and Coi Leray, and let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics

You’re getting older, heart getting colder
Unstable emotions, success, I want more of it
They keep talking, they so toxic
But I’m out here like f*ck it, ’cause I’m on one, I’m on one
Yeah, can’t wonder why they show no love
