Da Beatminerz Are Not Suffering From “Stifled Creativity” On Their First LP Two Decades Later

by

“We started working on this album in 2009… the focus was to stick to our core sound. We just wanted to bring back our traditional way of attempting a classic album. Everybody has their own type of hip-hop that they love. Well, this is ours”. Those were the words of Mr. Walt, one half of the producing tandem, Da Beatminerz, speaking about their album, Stifled Creativity, according to The Source.

Mr. Walt and DJ Devil Dee have been in the business for about 30 years at this point. So, the former’s comments about what type of rap they love and what they like to stick to are accurate. Across the 22-track escapade, you are going to hear what this duo has perfected up until this point. From stellar sample flips and disc scratching, Da Beatminerz are just further cementing their talents here. Even taking 20 years off in between albums cannot stifle their creativity. If you want to check out their insane boom-bap beats, as well as lyrical genius KRS-One, Ras Kass, and more, see the links below.

KAYTRANADA Produces Groovy & Sexy Dance Jams For Maeta’s “Endless Night” EP

by

The summer of 2023 was all about KAYTRAMINE. In 2024, the hottest months of the year beloing to Maetranada. That is the unofficial name of singer/producer duo Maeta and KAYTRANADA. The former is a Indianapolis, Indiana native and Roc Nation signee. KAYTRANADA is the world-renowned multi-genre instrumental genius who works with everyone. These two talents have a work history together, joining up for a couple of tracks over the last couple of years. However, Endless Night is the first time that Maeta is leaning on the Canadian for a full body of work. This is not an LP, rather a seven-track EP with zero features.

To be honest, that does not really bother us. When you have a beautiful voice like Maeta, and the colorful production of a KAYTRANADA, that is all you need really. The 24-year-old balladeer was very thrilled to drop Endless Night, according to her team. “I’m so excited for this project to be out. I just want everyone to have fun, dance and be free this summer!”. Well, they certainly will be as both are making it easy as ever to float away and loose themselves on the dancefloor. There is never a dull moment on this EP, even with the sultrier takes on dance. The presence of R&B is strong still and in a good way. Of course, fans just a got full listening experience from KAYTRANADA a couple of weeks ago with the highly-praised TIMELESS. But for Maeta, this project comes a year after her LP When I Hear Your Name, which featured Ty Dolla $ign, James Fauntleroy, Lucky Daye, and more.

Boldy James Is Nearing Project #3 With Conductor Williams-Produced Single “Offwhite Lumberjack”

by

Boldy James and Conductor Williams are cooking up something grandiose without the pretentiousness. Their collaborative record, Across the Tracks, is due in just one week. June 28 should be a special day for these two prolific and consistent artists, as the lead single, “Terms And Conditions”, is getting is receiving tons of adoration from listeners. These two are no strangers to each other, so you already know their chemistry will be off the charts once we get the full tape. For the gritty Detroit, Michigan rapper, this will be project number three. It will follow up his album of the year contender, Penalty of Leadership, as well as Trapper’s Alley: Pros & Cons. With just several days remaining, Boldy James and The Conductor are looking to give fans presumably one more taste of the record with “Offwhite Lumberjack”.

They way we have described the sound of Across the Tracks so far is tough yet elegant. There is a good chance that these two are going to carry that throughout the eight other songs as well. We say that because “Offwhite Lumberjack” provides those same qualities. The purposefully dirty guitar sample woven into the instrumental feels special but adds that blue-collar feel that you expect from Boldy. Additionally, the spaced-out drums add a nice hazy feel. Per usual, the bars are great too, as there are plenty of enjoyable one liners to be had. It might be crazy to say this early, but there is a chance that Boldy James has two potentials for the best rap album of 2024. We foresee Across the Tracks winding up on a lot of end-of-the-year lists and you will almost assuredly see it on ours.

Travis Scott & Don Toliver Fans Pleading For Collab Album Due To Their Dynamic Cuts On “HARDSTONE PSYCHO”

by

A lot of fans of Travis Scott and hip-hop alike were stunned when they heard Don Toliver for the first time on “CAN’T SAY”. The ASTROWORLD collaboration became one of the most revisited songs off that 2018 album and it remains to be that way six years later. Since signing to Cactus Jack, we have seen these two Houston, Texas neighbors grow their chemistry across multiple tracks. With the release of HARDSTONE PSYCHO –Don’s fourth studio LP– this weekend, that number is now at 12 as Scott appeared on “ICE AGE” and “INSIDE”, respectively.

Due to these songs, fans feel that is about time that Travis Scott and Don Toliver drop a collab album. “That album would move mountains”. “Yeah bro their chemistry is crazy”. According to HipHopDX, these are just a few tweets that surfaced shortly after HARDSTONE PSYCHO released. We definitely agree with these takes, as both share similar styles and possess incredible ears for production.

Hear Why Fans Want A Travis & Don T Collab Album

For the most part, we have heard Scott and Don on pretty melodic cuts together such as “Embarrassed”, “You”, and “Euphoria” just to name a handful. Sadly, the explosive cuts are a little less frequent. Prime examples include “Flocky Flocky” and “ICE AGE”. Even still, these offerings are still pretty lowkey. It would be interesting to see them attack some more aggressive and punchier instrumentals. Both have done it plenty of times solo, but doing so together would be electric. So yes, Travis and Don, the time is now, make a collab album!

What are your thoughts on fans wanting a Travis Scott and Don Toliver collaboration album? Do you agree that this needs to happen, why or why not? What is their best song together and why? Out of “ICE AGE” and “INSIDE”, which song is stronger? Is this Don Toliver’s best album to date so far? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments section below.

Dave East Reunites With Close Pals Mike & Keys For Personal LP “APT 6E”

by

“[Mike & Keys are] 100 percent my sound… They are like, one of the few producers in the game that really just got my sound down pat without really trying”. That is what gritty Harlem, New York rapper told XXL a little over two years ago about how much he adores the Los Angeles based producing duo. The soon-to-be 36-year-old veteran explained that he met the hitmakers through the late Nipsey Hussle and since then, they have grown their chemistry in the studio.

Their first album together, HDIGH (How Did I Get Here), while not released as a Dave/Mike & Keys project, was the one that got it started. Now, they are back once again with APT 6E, an official collaboration album. This record holds a special place in Dave’s heart, as the title is a reference to the apartment where his career really started to take shape. “I think that’s really where life changed for me. That’s where I got my first deal out of that apartment. Nas signed me, I caught the train to Mass Appeal downtown, then I caught the train back to Queens and walked back to my apartment with the deal in my hand”.

Listen To APT 6E By Dave East & Mike & Keys

There a handful of cuts on this 15-song offering that allude to the grind that Dave was on to make it big. One of them is “DOIN GREAT” (one of our favorites), and it sees him talk about always keeping your head high and making small steps toward your goals is in fact great progress. Those “steps” include removing people from your life who are not on the same mission as you and protecting your energy. However, we can fit all of the things we love about this album in one article, so be sure to check out and see what we mean.

Hit-Boy & The Alchemist Chef Up A Sinister Beat For Big Hit On “Foreclosure”

by

The rollout for Black & Whites continues 24 hours later, as Hit-Boy and the crew drop the lead single “Foreclosure.” That crew consists of the Fontana, CA native, his father Big Hit, as well as the boom-bap master, The Alchemist. They are dropping the project we just mentioned very soon, as it was announced via an Office Space-inspired album trailer. The trio did a remarkable job recreating the printer smashing scene from the 1999 comedy classic. All three artists were smashing keyboards, while still paying homage to the OG, including the printer, too. In the 1:30 clip, Hit-Boy and the gang previewed music, but it turned out to not be “Foreclosure.”

Fans are still awaiting the release date for Black & Whites so that is partially why this track is here. It appears that Hit-Boy, Big Hit, and The Alchemist are bringing a grim and murderous tone to this project. “Foreclosure” starts out with some mean and punchy drums from Hit-Boy. Then, the beat switches slightly, as Uncle Al brings haunting piano keys into the instrumental.

While the terrific beat rolls on, Big Hit is providing a deliberate flow with aggressive lyrics. His raspy voice pairs perfectly with the atmosphere and it sounds like we are going to have an incredibly consistent project on our hands. Black & Whites will follow up a couple of Hit-Boy projects such as THEODORE & ANDRE, Paisley Dreams, among others. Be sure to check out “Foreclosure” above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “Foreclosure” by Hit-Boy, Big Hit, and The Alchemist? Is this going to be the best song from Black & Whites, why or why not? What part of the instrumental was better? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Rowdy Rebel & Fetty Luciano Continue Their Joint Effort Series With “Splash Brothers 2”

by

Two of Brooklyn’s rap talents, Rowdy Rebel and Fetty Luciano, are reuniting for a new album Splash Brothers 2. Based on the title, this is indeed a sequel, and it follows up the original nearly a year later exactly. If you did not know, Fetty and Rowdy are close friends and affiliated with the collective GS9. So, if you were wondering why these two have such a close relationship, that is the loose backstory.

Both Fetty and Rowdy like to stay in the trap and drill lanes and you get plenty of those high energy moments here. However, if you saw our review of Splash Brothers 2, we had some issues with some lackluster effort on some of the tracks. The beginning of the record has its flashes of potential, but “2024” and “Pistons” suffer from poor mixing and attention to detail. Additionally, the features do a better job for the most part when they show up.

But overall, it is a decent offering, but maybe not as desirable as their first Splash Brothers tape. In terms of how each rapper got to this point, Rowdy was coming off a 2023 that saw him drop his solo album Back Outside and the Fetty collab tape. As for the former, he has only dropped three projects overall, and it is just his second since his 2018 debut Story To Tell. If you want to support Splash Brothers 2, check out the links above.

Roc Marciano, The Alchemist & Animoss Produce Incredible Results With “Marciology”

by

Roc Marciano has been a staple of underground hip-hop in New York for about 12 years now. You can always count on him for top-tier lyricism, intriguing production, and a mic presence that commands attention. For 2024, the Long Island native has a lot live up to from last year. He had two of the stronger releases with Nothing Bigger Than The Program and the deluxe of The Elephant Man’s Bones with The Alchemist. Well, we are happy to report that Roc Marciano is off to one hell of a start with Marciology.

The legendary rapper and producer teased the album last week with the lead single “Gold Crossbow.” It was easily one of the most chilling songs of the year and it had us excited for the full body of work. Marci also produced that track, which is the case for this entire album. However, he was not totally alone for this record.

The Alchemist makes a welcome return and Animoss is in the mix as well. At the end of the year, this should be in end of the year debates and Marciano feels the same way. He went on Instagram to thank everyone who had a hand in bringing Marciology to life. However, he had to let everyone else know who really runs the rap game. “Can’t thank you brothers enough ❤ let’s run it ⬆ because let’s face it this s*** stale without me #pimpire #artthatkills 🌋 🌋🌋🐐”

Travis Scott & Kid Cudi Victims Of AI As “WEBSTER II” Collab Tape Creates Mass Confusion

by

It has been nearly four years since Travis Scott and Kid Cudi formed their duo THE SCOTTS. To celebrate them coming together, the dropped an inaugural self-titled single that did massive numbers. However, since then they have not put out any new material under that moniker. There were some rumblings from Cudi that a SCOTTS record would be a possibility in 2023 after shutting that down the year prior. But fans are still being left in the dark on that to this day. That is until today when Travis Scott and his mentor surprised everyone with an album called WEBSTER II (W E B S T E R I I).

Or did they? Fans have been blowing up X about the record, questioning if its real. Right of the bat, you can tell something fishy is going on here. For example, Uproxx confirmed that neither Scott nor Cudi did anything to promote it on social media. Also working against WEBSTER II is the fact that is credited to THE SCOTTS and JACKBOYS. Of course, the latter is Travis’ collective of Cactus Jack signees Don Toliver Sheck Wes, etc. that dropped their self-titled record in 2019. Furthermore, it is only up on Apple Music.

X Users React To WEBSTER II By Travis Scott & Kid Cudi

The last bit of confirmation that this unfortunately not real, comes from X users giving the actual origins of this tape. In the quoted reply above, he says that this an AI album from Scott called 4th Dimension, which he claims is “hacked.” Even though this turned out to be a hoax, fans who listened to it were digging it. At the time of writing, the project is still available on the platform. But we suspect it will be taken down by the end of the day. Scott and Cudi fans, just keep wishing for a SCOTTS album.

What are your thoughts on this AI Travis Scott and Kid Cudi album, WEBSTER II, dropping on Apple Music? Were you able to catch that it was not a real release? Did any tracks wind up standing out to you? Do you think we are ever going to get a SCOTTS album? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.
