YG And Lil Wayne Team Up Again For “Miss My Dawgs” Single

by

Lil Wayne and YG released their song “Miss My Dawgs” earlier today (Dec. 9) and also shared a music video for the hot collaboration. 

The pair previously worked together on YG’s “Blood Walk” and Lil Wayne’s “Trill N*gga,” and are now bringing their infectious sound to the masses once again. Speaking candidly on their new single, the rappers get real about losing friends, loyalty, and more.

In an Instagram post earlier this week, the Compton rapper gifted Lil Wayne a chain with YG’s 4Hunnid brand logo. “F**k yeah, n***a. Love, n***a,” Tunechi says in the video clip, offering him a hug.

Often crowned the GOAT of hip-hop, Lil Wayne has been praised by fans for his unique flow, hard-hitting lyrics, and lasting music legacy. Despite being in the game for over two decades, the Louisiana native continues to pride himself on his songwriting capabilities.

While interviewing with the I Am Athlete podcast earlier this year, the “Go DJ” rapper shared the process behind his songs, also admitting that he can spend weeks crafting lyrics.

“On god man, I can take seven weeks on two lines,” Lil Wayne shared in the sit-down. 

“I’ve said so much that I don’t ever wanna say the same thing. You have to understand your audience,” he then added. “It was certain things that I could’ve said to my audience in ‘95 that you not tryna hear that right now. But, I can figure it out and that’s the beauty of it.”

Quotable Lyrics:

You ain’t my dawg if we ain’t ever did no robberies

We had a cause, we was tryna hit the lottery

Young n*ggas ball, we was makin’ it out of poverty

We did our thang, we did our thang, we did it properly

Snoop Dogg and Philipp Plein Celebrate New Sneaker Collaboration

Snoop Dogg and designer Philipp Plein have joined forces with a sneaker collaboration. A combination of Plein’s gothic aesthetic and Snoop Dogg’s musical legacy are the focal points of this partnership. The two creatives are offering a sneaker in two styles: a black and gold colorway designed with a platform heel, patent black leather body and gold logo, as well as a purple, black and yellow colorway embellished with crystals, inspired by the Lakers. 

An intimate celebration transpired on Monday night inside “Chateau Falconview,” Plein’s Bel Air guest home. The main residence sat atop the winding road, sitting on 3.6 acres at a property reportedly worth $200 million. The gathering hosted numerous celebrities such as musician Tommy Lee. It wrapped around 10 p.m. with a giant sized cake replica of the purple sneaker.

Snoop expressed his brotherhood with Plein, which happened organically over time and started off with mutual fanhood. Growing up in Long Beach California, Snoop said, “Me and Philipp have been friends for a few years. We’ve done a few events together, some runway shows in different countries. We decided to come up with a collaboration, so I wanted to put my influence on a shoe, but I wanted him to perfect the show so I didn’t really have too much to do with creative as much as him and his team did, because I trust what they do. You can walk to it, dance to it. You can work out to it. You can wear it with pants, shorts, sweats. You can wear it with anything. It’s made for everybody.”

As Plein has stated before, he values the importance of “authentic” partnerships. Snoop has performed at previous Plein shows and both the rapper’s father and son have walked the designer’s runway. “It’s a family business,” expressed Plein. 

Snoop Dogg’s Plein Dogg collection is available at Plein’s stores and website.

SZA Teases Hayley Williams Collab On Twitter

by

SZA hinted at collaborating with Paramore’s Hayley Williams on Twitter, Tuesday, exciting fans at the idea. The post comes ahead of the release of SZA’s highly-anticipated sophomore album, S.O.S.

“I talk to her more than you’d think lol,” SZA replied to a fan who had asked about Williams.

While she hinted at working with Williams down the road, she won’t be featured on S.O.S. SZA revealed the tracklist for the album, earlier this week. The project features Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Phoebe Bridgers, and more artists.

Hayley Williams has also been active musically as of late. She and the rest of Paramore are gearing up to release their first album in nearly six years with This Is Why. The project is due out on February 10, 2023.

As for when Williams and SZA could collaborate is unclear. The TDE singer previously admitted that she doesn’t “see longevity” in her music career.

“I feel like music, in this capacity, I don’t see longevity,” she told Billboard. “I like to create, I like to write, I like to sing, and I like to share. But I don’t know if chasing after superstardom or whatever I’m supposed to be doing right now is sustainable for me or for anybody. I’mma take a good swing at it, and I’mma give ’em my absolute best.”

She further added: “I only do what I want to do, and this makes me feel free and safe and unrestricted.”

SZA’s S.O.S. will be arriving on Friday, December 9. The project will be her first since 2017’s Ctrl.
