A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Heads Downtown To Assist Sheff G And Sleepy Hallow On ‘Run It Up’

by

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie‘s successful rap run precedes the rise of the (mostly) Brooklyn-based drill movement by a couple of years, but that isn’t stopping the Bronx native from making the trek downtown to assist his fellow New York rappers Sheff G and Sleepy Hallow on their menacingly melodic new single “Run It Up.”

The beat splits the difference between the acoustic guitar-laden, almost R&B-ish production favored by A Boogie and the sparse, off-kilter drum patterns employed by drill stars Sheff and Sleepy, giving both boroughs’ representatives plenty to work with as they brag about the travails of street fame and relationships.

Sleepy and Sheff, who have frequently collaborated over the past few years they’ve been active, are just two of the rising stars working to fill the void left behind by the death of Pop Smoke in 2021. While Sleepy just released his debut album Still Sleep? on Empire in June, Sheff is a year removed from his own debut One And Only, and appears to be preparing for his next release. A Boogie, meanwhile, has been building on his prior success with multiple cross-borough collabs this year, including another Brooklyn linkup with Rowdy Rebel for “9 Bridge” and an appearance on Nas’ King’s Disease sequel.

Nas’ ‘King’s Disease 2’ Tracklist Includes Features From Eminem And Lauryn Hill

Last year, Hit-Boy helped Nas overcome his recent album slump, executive producing the Queens legend’s latest full-length, King’s Disease. The results spoke for themselves; not only was the album credited with breaking rap fans’ prevailing “Nas has a tin ear for beats” narrative, but it was also one of the most critically acclaimed rap projects of the year.

It looks like the two principals were pretty impressed with each other, as they recently announced a follow-up titled King’s Disease II to be released on the same projected date as Kanye West’s Donda. Either that, or it’ll be a Lost Tapes-type release collecting some of the cutting room clippings from the original sessions and stitching them together — which has worked for Nas before on Lost Tapes. Today, they shared the tracklist, revealing collaborations with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Blxst, Eminem, EPMD, Lauryn Hill, and YG.

King’s Disease II will thus mark the second collaboration between Nas and Em and Nas and Lauryn. While Eminem produced Nas’s 2002 God’s Son song “The Cross,” Nas and Ms. Hill collaborated on Nas’ biggest hit to date, 1996’s “If I Ruled The World” from It Was Written.

Yung Bleu And A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Indulge In Serenity In Their Video For ‘Ghetto Love Birds’

by

Yung Bleu continues to make the most of an impressive 2020, which saw him increase his audience with Love Scars: The Five Stages of Emotions, plus a remix of “You’re Mines Still” with Drake. A day after the release of his newest album, Moon Boy, the Alabama native recruits A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie to join him in a video for “Ghetto Love Birds,” which captures the duo indulging in serenity through desert, ocean, and jungle landscapes, all while expressing the true power of love.

Moon Boy offers additional features from Drake, Gunna, Chris Brown, Kehlani, Moneybagg Yo, Kodak Black, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, H.E.R., John Legend, and Jeezy. Both album and the video were released after Bleu announced a North American tour in support of the new album. The Alabama native will hit the road starting on August 26 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. From then on he will make a number of stops in major cities across North America before bringing things to a close on October 9 in Seattle, Washington.

You can watch the video for “Ghetto Love Birds” above.

Rowdy Rebel And A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s ‘9 Bridge’ Video Is Adventurous Ride

by

Rowdy Rebel and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie‘s “9 Bridge” saw the two New York natives form a strong cross-borough connection and that connection is deepened in their video for the song, which they shared today. Opening with a closeup of a sword in a stone in the middle of a Manhattan street, the video finds A Boogie claiming the sword before being beset by a sneaky attacker. Fortunately Rowdy is right there with a crossbow to get his rhyme partner’s back.

Elsewhere in the video the duo pilots a submarine, challenges the devil to a game of chess, and plays cliffhanger off the roof of a skyscraper in a cyberpunk cityscape.

While neither rapper has released much solo music this year, they’ve both been fairly prolific on the features front. Rowdy, fresh off a six-year prison stint, has been in high demand, appearing with Nav in the “Jesse Owens” video and CJ in the “Whoopty NYC Remix” video. Meanwhile, A Boogie popped up on a remix of TikTok star Mooski’s “Track Star” and put out a new single featuring Lil Durk, “24 Hours.”

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie And Lil Durk Beg To See Their Lovers For ’24 Hours’

by

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie is known for his ability to deliver tracks that are perfect for the club as well as efforts that are softer and a bit more intimate. Thanks to some help from Lil Durk, A Boogie arrives with another example of the latter with his new track, “24 Hours.” The melodic effort finds the two rappers pleading to see their lovers for 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The brief moments they normally share together are not enough to satisfy their cravings as their constant presence is the only thing that will keep the pair happy.

The new song is the latest in a string of releases from A Boogie after he stayed fairly quiet following the release of his last album, Artist 2.0 in 2020. Last week he teamed up with Rowdy Rebel for a cross-borough connection on their “9 Bridge” collaboration. In addition that, he also remixed Mooski’s viral track, “Track Star,” for fans to enjoy. As for Lil Durk, the Chicago rapper is readying Voice Of The Heroes, his joint project with Lil Baby, for a release in the coming weeks.

While it’s been a while since the two rappers last collaborated, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie And Lil Durk could both be found on DJ Khaled’s latest album, Khaled Khaled. The former appeared on “This Is My Year” with Big Sean, Puff Daddy, and Rick Ross while the latter starred with Lil Baby on “Every Chance I Get.”

You can press play on “24 Hours” in the video above.

Rowdy Rebel And A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s ‘9 Bridge’ Is A Cross-Borough Connection

by

Brooklyn rapper Rowdy Rebel links up with the Bronx’s own A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie on “9 Bridge,” a haunting banger of a cross-borough connection. A Boogie kicks things off with a rapid-fire verse before Rowdy comes in for a few bars of his own before giving it back to A Boogie for a melodic flow. They go back and forth a few times, showcasing the sort of two-man game that ’90s NBA highlight reels were made of.

The new single is a nice departure for Rowdy, who’s been embracing the drill wave ever since making it out of prison earlier this year. At the end of the GS9 rapper’s six-year sentence, he was recruited by Funkmaster Flex and Nav for “Jesse Owens,” then by CJ for the NYC Remix of “Whoopty” with French Montana. “9 Bridge” gives him a shot to show off his versatility as he continues on the comeback trail.

Meanwhile, A Boogie uses the song reset his 2021 after a few stumbling blocks in 2020 and his remix of Mooski’s TikTok hit “Track Star.” Hopefully, this refresh will lead to more new music with the same level of renewed energy — or even a joint album, because the give-and-go flows here are *chef’s kiss*.
