Southside Teases Forthcoming LP With “President” Featuring Destroy Lonely & Ken Carson

by

Metro Boomin may be viewed as the current king of trap rap, but Southside is step for step with him. The longtime hitmaker from Atlanta, Georgia is always working with the best of the best. It is for good reason too, because he has great synergy with so many legends in Southern hip-hop. Pretty soon, Southside will be dropping his first album in four years and to hype it up, he has a new single out called “President.”

This time around, the “Hold That Heat” creator is teaming up with ragers Destroy Lonely and Ken Carson. Both have been establishing themselves as the future faces of the subgenre over the last couple of years and now they are working with one of the most established stars. “President,” according to a recent press release, looks to be the third single for his unnamed sixth LP. The first of them was 2022’s “Hold That Heat,” which featured Travis Scott and Future.

Then, in late 2023, Southside and Lil Yachty dropped “Gimme Da Lite.” On “President,” the veteran incorporates some stunning synths, horn sections, and rumbling bass. It feels epic, but Lonely and Carson mumble their way through the track, dragging down the hype factor. But, its still a solid track all around and it will be one of the more popular tracks from the record.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “President” by Southside, Destroy Lonely, and Ken Carson? Is this one of his better beats as of late, why or why not?

I told you that I ain’t got no racks, I was gon’ do the most

Quavo & Destroy Lonely Mesh Well On Their First Song “Potato Loaded”

by

People had some sneaky suspicions that Quavo and Destroy Lonely could be cooking up something in the studio. Photos surfaced near the very start of 2024 when NLE Choppa shared a post on social media of him chopping it up with the two aforementioned artists. While most people were probably expecting the Memphis rapper to be a part of the collab, that is sadly not the case. However, Quavo and Destroy Lonely are more than enough to get excited about.

Those earlier sessions have resulted in this new single right here, “Potato Loaded.” This is a Quavo single, as Lonely is credited as the feature, which makes this his third solo effort. The former Migo also worked with ATL Jacob and BU$HI as a guest. So, this could mean a third album could be in the works.

Listen To “Potato Loaded” By Quavo & Destroy Lonely

Those possible promotional records include “Real One” with Rich The Kid, and “Himothy.” So far, “Potato Loaded” may be the strongest of three. The cavernous trap beat with the enchanting woodwind sample is a nice combination of atmosphere and grittiness. Furthermore, Lonely brings an animated performance as Quavo opts for a more cool and subdued delivery. You can check out the new single above.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Potato Loaded,” by Quavo and Destroy Lonely? Was this song worth the wait for you, why or why not? What is your favorite element of the track and why? Who had the stronger performance? Should these two work again in the near future? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Ever since I was a jit, I knew I was the one, I guess I’m chose
I done took this shit around the world, it’s global, it’s not local
Yeah, get that shit off the floor (Floor)

Destroy Lonely Pairs With Quavo In His Stripped-Down ‘Potato Loaded’ Video, Continuing The Opium Takeover

by

Playboi Carti’s Opium crew is poised for a big breakout in 2024, even despite canceling their Antagonist Tour. After Homixide Gang dropped their crime-epic video for “Hi-Voltage” last week, it’s Destroy Lonely’s turn at bat. The Atlanta native gets a big co-sign from one of his cities brightest stars, landing a feature on the new Quavo song “Potato Loaded.” The rap nepo baby (his dad is I-20 of Disturbing Tha Peace fame) proves supremely adaptable, switching easily from his usual distorted soundscapes to a more familiar trap production alongside the industry vet.

In the stripped-down, accompanying video, the two Big Peach natives keep things simple. You’ve seen videos set at house parties; how about throwing a party in a freight elevator? Surrounded by video vixens, the two rappers deliver their menacing, boastful bars under lurid green lights with money all over the floor and an assortment of jewelry and drugs to show off. Their performances are intercut with a dynamic chase shot of DL hanging out the passenger side of a sports car as the duo cruises through the city streets.

“Potato Loaded” is Quavo’s third video of the year, following visuals for “Real One” with Rich The Kid and “Himothy.” While he hasn’t announced a new album, don’t be surprised if he pops out with one soon enough.

Watch Quavo’s “Potato Loaded” video with Destroy Lonely above.

Playboi Carti’s ‘Antagonist’ Tour Was Reportedly Canceled After Multiple Delays

Bad news for Playboi Carti fans hoping to see him and his Opium cohorts Destroy Lonely, Ken Carson and Homixide Gang on tour this year: The Atlanta rapper’s Antagonist tour has reportedly been canceled, according to Complex. Fans were apparently notified via email after multiple delays, however, Complex‘s report does not offer a reason for the cancelation.

The tour would have been Carti’s first since 2021’s King Vamp Tour, as well as his second since releasing his most recent album, 2020’s Whole Lotta Red. While the rapper has made periodic appearances on other artists’ albums, including Kanye West’s Vultures 1, Travis Scott’s Utopia, and Future and Metro Boomin’s We Don’t Trust You, his long-awaited album Music does not have a release date after being promised in January.

Suffering through unexplained postponements has long been a feature of Playboi Carti fandom, as he infamously pushed back Whole Lotta Red so many times, fans like Mario Judah trolled him by releasing their own projects with the same title. He’s been teasing Music since the holidays in 2022, but despite releasing a string of singles including “H00DByAir” and “Backr00ms” with Travis Scott, he’s still yet to drop a release date for the album. Whether his tour cancelation counts as a setback or sign of increased focus remains to be seen.

Destroy Lonely Prepares For A Big Hit In His Anxious ‘How U Feel?’ Video

by

Atlanta rock rapper Destroy Lonely dropped his debut studio album, If Looks Could Kill, in May, debuting at No. 18 on the Billboard 200 and selling 29,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. He continues to promote the album, releasing the video for the standout track “How U Feel?” today.

The video takes on imagery from such wide-ranging influences as the Sam Raimi Spider-Man series and assassin action dramas like Nikita and Mr. And Mrs. Smith. Destroy Lonely and his girls load up their weapons and hop in an SUV, presumably for a late-night murder mission.

The song “How U Feel?” was recently featured in the film Insidious: The Red Door, reflecting the horror film aesthetics embraced by the Opium rapper on his debut. Meanwhile, Destroy Lonely is also rising quickly, collaborating with breakout artist PinkPanthress for “Turn Your Phone Off.” He’s also on tour with Opium founder Playboi Carti and the rest of his labelmates later this year.

PinkPantheress Recruits Destroy Lonely For The Conflicted Song ‘Turn Your Phone Off’

by

PinkPantheress is no stranger to the art of collaboration. Her “Boy’s A Liar Pt. 2” with Ice Spice was one of the ubiquitous hits of the year; more recently, she teamed up with Willow for “Where You Are.”

Now, the versatile singer has joined forces with Destroy Lonely, who released their new album If Looks Could Kill earlier this year. The song is called “Turn Your Phone Off,” an ironic sentiment from an artist who’s benefited exponentially from apps like TikTok.

Of course, though, “Turn Your Phone Off” is a love song, just slanted by Gen Z’s technology-saturated upbringing: “I turned my phone off but your calls still came through / I reply when they do ’cause I want to chat to you,” she sings, against her typical skittish, otherworldly sound. It’s fewer than three minutes, but the two artists prove their music chemistry.

“After years of having this song in the vault, I’m so happy I can release ‘Turn Your Phone Off’ with someone who has spearheaded his own sound and incorporates beautifully into mine,” she said about the track in a statement.

Listen to “Turn Your Phone Off” above.

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

Who Are The Openers For Playboi Carti’s ‘Antagonist Tour?’

A few days ago, there were rumors that Playboi Carti was getting ready to announce a tour, rumors prompted by billboard that had popped up. The rumors have been confirmed now, as today (July 12), the rapper announced he’s embarking on the Antagonist Tour. But who is he taking with him?

Carti has a few openers who will join him on the trek, all from his Opium Collective. One of them is Destroy Lonely, an Atlanta rapper who has spent the past few years building buzz with a series of mixtapes. That built up to If Looks Could Kill, his debut album from May that managed a debut at No. 18 on the Billboard 200 chart. (The album was also one of Uproxx’s most anticipated releases of this past spring.) The single “If Looks Could Kill” also made it onto the hip-hop charts.

Also joining the tour is Ken Carson, another Atlanta rapper who found some TikTok fame in late 2022 thanks to a dance to the song that was popularized by folks like Rico Nasty. Then there’s Homixide Gang, who are fresh off performing at Wireless Festival this past weekend. Their latest album, Snot Or Not, just dropped in April.

Check out the upcoming tour dates here.

Playboi Carti Announced The ‘Antagonist Tour’ With Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely, And Homixide Gang

Fans waiting with bated breath for news of Playboi Carti’s next tour can finally exhale; the genre-bending, mystery-shrouded rapper has announced the dates for his upcoming Antagonist Tour. The Antagonist Tour is set to kick off in September, with Carti joined by his Opium Collective compadres Destroy Lonely, Homixide Gang, and Ken Carson. Pre-sale is set to begin on July 12 at noon local time, followed by the general sale on July 14 at noon. You can get more info here.

Carti last released a full-length album in 2020, Whole Lotta Red. Since then, he’s teased a few potential projects, including a follow-up album titled simply Music, a possible joint album with longtime collaborator Lil Uzi Vert, and another joint project with rising star YoungBoy Never Broke Again. Unfortunately, it also turned out he had one other thing in common with NBA YoungBoy: A pretty sh*tty disposition toward women. He was arrested in December last year for felony aggravated assault for allegedly choking his pregnant girlfriend.

Anyway, you can see the tour dates below.

Is Playboi Carti Going On Tour Soon?

While there still haven’t been any updates regarding Playboi Carti’s long-awaited follow-up to his 2020 album, Whole Lotta Red. The “Popular” rapper has bought some time thanks to his recent festival run.

After being led on a highway chase following his appearance at Summer Smash 2023, the Playboi Carti might have gotten all the confirmation he needed to hit the road on his own tour. So, that led fans to ask, even without a new album out, is Playboi Carti going to tour soon? Well, according to Our Generation Music, the answer is yes. The outlet tweeted a billboard image alleging Carti’s next tour is in the works. But he won’t be gracing the stage alone.

In the image, not only is Playboi Carti photographed, but fellow recording artists Destroy Lonely, Ken Carson, and Homixide Gang are also listed in what is being dubbed the Antagonist Tour. Although Carti has remained radio silent on social media, seemingly since his arrest for felony aggravated assault in 2022, his rumored tourmate, Homixide Gang, took to Twitter to seemingly confirm the rumor.

No further information on the supposed Antagonist Tour is known at this time. However, fans are presumably beginning to budget just in case it turns out to be true.
