French Montana Taps A$AP Rocky And Smooky Margielaa On “Chit Chat”

by

French Montana is back in action with the latest installment in the Coke Boys series.

The rapper came through with the latest project, boasting an array of features from Tory Lanez to Benny The Butcher and EST Gee. However, it’s his new collaboration alongside A$AP Rocky that has everyone talking.

The “Brotha Man” collaborators reunite alongside Smooky Margielaa for their new record, “Chit Chat.” Rocky helps ease the track in with a brief verse at the top of the record before Smooky Margielaa and French Montana delve into auto-tuned melodies over the flute-laden production.

Though Rocky’s appearance in brief, it’s a strong sign that he’s preparing to drop off his next album. In December, the rapper revealed that the album was practically complete during an Amazon Music Live concert series. Though he didn’t provide much information, he slid through with two features including a stand-out performance alongside the late Takeoff on Metro Boomin’s “Feel The Fiyaaaah.” On the same day, he dished out his latest single, “Shittin Me” for the Need For Speed soundtrack.

French Montana’s latest project comes months after he teamed up with Harry Fraud for Montega. However, Coke Boys 6 looks to highlight the new and revamped Coke Boys roster. The project includes a slew of appearances from Chinx, Cheeze, Max B, Vory, Rob49, and more.

This morning, French Montana’s video shoot in Miami Gardens was the target of a shooting that injured 10 people. Rob49 was among those who were hit during the shooting, though there hasn’t been any updates on his status yet.

Check out “Chit Chat” below and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

by

DJ Drama and French Montana have teamed up again for the debut of Coke Boys 6, a collaborative Gansta Grillz mixtape that features hot and rising rappers EST Gee, Benny The Butcher, Kodak Black, and BIG30.

Jeremih, NAV, Rob49, King Combs, Max B, and other members of Coke Boy Records are also listed on the 20-song tracklist. Debuting on Friday at midnight, the awaited album was first meant to release last month but was later pushed back.

Running for just under an hour, it contains songs “RZA,” “Igloo,” “New Punani,” “The Oath,” and “Die In The Streets.”

Coke Boys 6 marks French’s first project since last year’s Montega. Collaborating with producer Harry Fraud, the Moroccan-born rapper featured Jadakiss, Babyface Ray, Rick Ross, Quavo, and more.

After exploding onto the hip-hop scene with 2013’s “Ain’t Worried About Nothin” and 2014’s “Pop That,” French Montana has continued to churn out hits throughout his career.

Providing the notable chorus for Fat Joe and Remy Ma’s “All The Way Up,” the 38-year-old earned two Grammy nominations for the song. He also received a Best Rap Song nomination for Kanye West’s “All Day,” which he co-produced alongside the Chicago rapper.

Sitting down with GQ last year, French Montana opened up about the legacy he wants to leave behind.

“I want to accomplish everything off my bucket list. And I’m not talking about like Grammys, because we can’t control that,” he said, adding, “You can’t control people like you can control the streets. Because, number one, I always wanted to make albums full of all the best music that I love from back in the day.”

Similar to his collaborator Ye, French Montana has often been known to use a variety of samples and genres in his music.

French Montana is back. The Bad Boy rapper will drop the sixth installation of his Coke Boy mixtape series later this week. The project will be in collaboration with DJ Drama and released as a Gansta Grillz mixtape. Coke Boy 6 is expected to drop on Friday, January 6. The DJ and record executive announced the forthcoming project on Instagram yesterday (January 2), writing, “2023‼ New Year… Same Hustle‼” in the caption.

The mixtape was initially slated for a December release date, but it was pushed back for unforeseen reasons. Coke Boys 6 will serve as French’s first full-length project since 2022’s Montega LP, which dropped back in June 2022.

Outside of music, the “No Shopping” rapper has been focused on his philanthropic side, raising over $200 million for the Ugandan healthcare system. French Montana was bestowed with the “Innovator Award” while attending the annual Pencils Of Promise Gala at the Museum Of The Moving Image in New York City this past October.

“MAKING MORE HISTORY FOR MY PEOPLE!” he wrote on Instagram back in October. “Thank you, @pencilsofpromise, for honoring me with the Innovator Award at last night’s gala. Healthcare and education is a fundamental part of our human rights and should be accessible across the globe.”

French Montana is giving fans exactly what they’re looking for — a new Coke Boys tape.

Over the past few months, French Montana’s indicated that he has a new mixtape on the way, though he didn’t provide much of an update. However, it appears that he’s preparing for the release of Coke Boys 6 this month.

DJ Drama hit Instagram today where he revealed that French’s sixth installment in the mixtape series will drop as a Gangsta Grillz mixtape. “2023 New Year…Same Hustle Droppin 1/6,” he wrote. “@frenchmontana ‘Coke Boys 6…Money Heist Edition’ Gangsta Grillz…I Gave Yall A Chance To Catch Up…What Happened.”

“WAVE GODS !!! From st barts back to the block free max b ! COKE BOYS 6 gangsta grillz edition @djdrama THIS FRIDAY,” French captioned his post.

French initially announced that the project would be dropping on Dec. 9th, 2022, but that didn’t end up happening. In a short trailer shared to his Instagram page, he revealed that Coke Boys 6 includes appearances from Max B, D Thang, Cheese, Kenzo B, Stove God, T Dot, Ayoub, Chinese Kitty and the late Chinx. French hasn’t unveiled any other details surrounding the project but we’re sure it’ll come in the next few days.

The Bronx rapper’s upcoming project follows the release of 2022 Montega with Harry Fraud.

DJ Drama’s Gangsta Grillz tape became even more popular in the past two years. In addition to Coke Boys 6, Drama has a few other Gangsta Grillz tapes in the works including Juelz Santana’s We In Motion and an apparent mixtape with Pusha T. Last year, Drama teamed up with Dreamville, Symba, and more for their own installments in the Gangsta Grillz series.

We’ll keep you posted on these projects. For now, check out the trailer for French Montana’s Coke Boys 6. Sound off in the comments with the artists you’d like to see on French’s upcoming mixtape.

Fans of Pusha T and DJ Drama have received some exciting news this holiday season. Last night (December 23), the two confirmed that they are working on a mixtape for Drama’s iconic Gangsta Grillz mixtape series.

The two spoke in a Twitter Space last night, moderated by Rap Radar’s B. Dot, where they revealed the news.

Andrew Barber, of Chicago hip-hop blog Fake Shore Drive shared live updates of the Space chat via Twitter.

“Live from @bdotTM’s Twitter spaces, confirmed by @DJDRAMA & @PUSHA_T,” he said in a tweet in response to a fan asking for confirmation.

In a recent interview with XXL, Push teased the Gangsta Grillz mixtape, though, at the time, he didn’t indicate that it was part of Drama’s series. He is working on the mixtape in tandem with the album, and revealed that he is doing so in order to embrace creative freedom.

“What I’m trying to do is restore the feeling in every aspect of this subgenre of music,” he said. “And just of this cloth, of this taste level. I’m just trying to make people realize how viable this is. To show people that I can’t do what you do, but you definitely can’t do what I do. I have to show those differences. That’s the whole premise behind the mixtape.”

Pusha T & DJ Drama Announce “Gangsta Grillz” Mixtape In 2023

After a crazy year for hip-hop, some artists are making it clear that next year might be even better. Pusha T and DJ Drama announced that they will release a Gangsta Grillz project together in 2023. They spoke on Rap Radar’s Brian “B.Dot” Miller’s Twitter space to share the news. King Push also announced that he’s got a solo album on the way as well. As such, fans can’t wait for new music so soon after this year’s It’s Almost Dry.

We still don’t have an audio clip from the space, i.e. any proof that they said this. However, many outlets on Twitter have corroborated the clip, including Andrew Barber of Fake Shore Drive. While some fans whined that Drama’s working with an older artist and not a new face… I mean, it’s Pusha T. How could it not be great? Many are also excited about the tape’s potential features and reunions, à la Clipse on It’s Almost Dry. 

Although we’re still waiting on the 100% push from Push, it’s no wonder fans are so excited. DJ Drama worked on some of the greatest mixtapes of the 2000s with Pharrell, Lil Wayne, Ludacris, and many more. What’s more is that he’s still dropping projects today. He worked with Tyler, the Creator on CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST and with Icewear Vezzo for the recent Paint The City tape. 

Meanwhile, Pusha T’s been quite busy as of late, too. Recently, his cover story with XXL gave us a lot of insight into his career movement. Moreover, he spoke on his relationship with Kanye West, an upcoming new album, and his evolved beef with Drake. Even with all that extra news surrounding him, he’s giving It’s Almost Dry its proper credit before the Grammys. As one of the best hip-hop albums of the year, which followed one of 2018’s best in Daytona, he’s bound to drop nothing but excellence.
