The post arrives just days after Meek asked fans whether he’s fallen off. “Who think I fell off or don’t really think I got it with rapping anymore?” Meek wrote on Wednesday (June 14). “I’m fr I need answers and tell the truth I’m not taking it personal. I need to hear how people think before I do what I do! A social experiment! Answer if you a supporter of mines!…I’m not asking for confidence either.”

Fans had mixed answers for the Philadelphia rapper. One admitted that he feels he’s gotten lazy. “@MeekMill is lazy now, probably have other personal things his focus on,” they wrote. “The thing is are you going continue with rap on the old wave or are you going to adopt, to this new gen z music. You ready have to name, experience, the fans & billionaire’s friends. Leave a legacy.” A seperate fam argued that Meek has simply grown: “It’s all about growth my guy. To understand who don’t rock with you the same is to also understand that you’re not the same. In that sense you’ll never fall off. The ones who choose not to grow with you fall off.”

Meek Mill Confirms Plans For Two Albums

Other users complained about Meek’s lack of output in recent years causing him to fall off. Those fans will be happy to hear that Meek’s got more music on the way. Be on the lookout for additional information on Meek’s upcoming collaborations in the coming weeks.

Lil Uzi Vert Shares New Details About “The Pink Tape”

by

Fans are hyped about The Pink Tape, the upcoming release from Lil Uzi Vert. Earlier this week, Uzi teased the cover album’s cover art and hinted at potential collaborations. It is believed that Playboi Carti and Ken Carlson will both feature on the album. Elsewhere, Uzi will be headlining at Kid Cudi’s Moon Man’s Landing 2023 event later this year.

The Pink Tape is Uzi’s first major release since 2020. During the first year of the pandemic, Uzi dropped Eternal Atake and Pluto x Baby Pluto, the latter being a collaborative album with Future. Eternal Atake spent two weeks at #1 in March while Pluto x Baby Pluto peaked at #2. Furthermore, Uzi has released two collaborative tracks this year – “I’m Not Human” featuring XXXTentacion and “Watch This” remixed by ArizonaTears. However, Uzi has now shared some more details about what fans can expect from The Pink Tape.

“The Pink Tape” New Details

Speaking on Instagram Live, Uzi gave more details about what fans can expect from The Pink Tape. In regards to collaborations, Uzi continued to tease a Playboi Carti track. “Not that many features but the features that everybody thinks I should have… basically, where I started at is where imma finish,” the rapper cryptically said. However, he did also confirm that a track produced by Ken Carlson would appear.

Furthermore, Uzi revealed that the album will feature 25 tracks, including “Just Wanna Rock” as well as two bonus tracks. Of these tracks, Uzi said were songs that “a lot of people love but didn’t really get to hear.” Additionally, Uzi pointed to a release in the next two weeks (other sources have reported that it will drop on June 30). Meanwhile, Uzi announced that the Pink Tape World Tour will begin “right after the summer,” which suggests fans can expect tour dates from around August onwards. Are you excited about The Pink Tape?

Drake Posts Up With Lil Yachty, Shares Studio Pics

by

Drake and Lil Yachty have been spending a lot of time together as of late. They appeared in a beachside interview with apparel brand FUTUREMOOD earlier this year. Meanwhile, both men are currently working on new music. Drake told NME in January that he might be releasing a solo album this year. Furthermore, the Toronto rapper released the single “Search & Rescue” in April. The song recently re-entered discussion after a cut Lil Durk verse was rediscovered, in which he appeared to profess a love of watersports. The artist later clarified the lyrics.

Meanwhile, Lil Yachty dropped his fifth studio album, Let’s Start Here, in January 2023. The album peaked at #9 on the Billboard Album 200, the rapper’s best album chart performance since Lil Boat 2 in 2018. Yachty also released the single “Strike (Holster)” in April, which peaked at #55 on the Billboard Hot 100. Drake and Yachty have only ever collabed once, with Drake featuring on Yachty’s single “Oprah’s Bank Account”. However, is that about to change?

Drake Shares Photos Featuring Lil Yachty

Image from the Instagram story of Drake showing Lil Yachty and Drake at lunch

An image from Drake’s Instagram story on June 17 shows Lil Yachty enjoying lunch with Drake. A later image in the story shows the interior of a recording studio. Does this mean the pair are cooking up a new track together? Furthermore, will this be a single release or part of Drake’s aforementioned album? Corroborating images do not appear on Lil Yachty’s Instagram page.

The lunch image alone would point to something more innocuous but the fact that Drake included the recording studio image points to this being a collab. Drake’s last album, 2022’s Honestly, Nevermind, featured one collaboration track. The album ended with “Jimmy Cooks”, which featured 21 Savage. Could Lil Yachty be taking the place of honor as Drake’s only collab for this upcoming project? Only time will tell. Do you think this a collab, or just a casual link up?

Gucci Mane And Lil Baby Team Up On New Song “Bluffin”

by

Atlanta rappers old and new are teaming up on a new single. Rap veteran Gucci Mane teamed up with superstar Lil Baby for a new song “Bluffin.” Lil Baby leads the track off and it sounds a lot like you’d expect it to. From the nocturnal beat to Lil Baby’s slurred flows and Gucci Mane’s drug talk, both artists feel perfectly in their element.

“Bluffin” is the fourth new single Gucci Mane dropped this year. It follows “King Snipe,” a collaboration with Kodak Black dropped back in January. “06 Gucci” dropped two months later and saw Gucci teaming up with 21 Savage and DaBaby. Just last month he followed them up with “Pissy” alongside Roddy Rich and Nardo Wick. After the release of “Bluffin,” Gucci told Apple Music that his new album was officially titled Breath Of Fresh Air.

Gucci Mane spoke to Apple Music about the origin of the name for his new project. “Ever since, I guess November of when Dolph passed away and my artist Scarr passing away and Takeoff passing away and Pooh locked up and Foo locked up locked up, that’s why I kind of named my album A Breath of Fresh Air,” he explains. He further spoke on how the subject matter of his new music aims to set an example. “I’m just not in the mood to hear a whole bunch of drilling and killing and this and that and not saying that I haven’t did that before, but just right now, just let me just kind of lead by example and show people that it is more to rap about than my opps and all that.”

A few weeks ago, Gucci Mane teamed up with Meek Mill to perform at Rick Ross’ car show. What do you think of Gucci Mane and Lil Baby’s new track? Let us know in the comment section below.

Quotable Lyrics:

I tried to lead by example, helped everybody get money
I quit lean and stopped gamblin’, I’m an ex codeine junkie
Stayed in motels with my family and did pushups with my bunky
Used to work up off my brother’nem, but I ain’t never been no flunky
