Mozzy And EST Gee Are On A Late-Night Prowl Through The Menacing ‘Lurkin’

Earlier this year, Yo Gotti held a press conference to share some big news regarding his Collective Music Group (CMG) label. It was through that conference that fans first learned about 42 Dugg and EST Gee’s joint project, Last Ones Left, which was released in April. The conference is also where Yo Gotti announced that Mozzy was officially signed to the CMG roster which already boasts a group of impressive rap talents like 42 Dugg, EST Gee, Moneybagg Yo, Blac Youngsta, and Blocboy JB. Mozzy’s addition to CMG has brought forth a new track with another one of its members, that being EST Gee.

Mozzy and EST Gee join forces for “Lurkin.” The track is a menacing effort that captures the rappers on a late-night prowl as they aim to seek out their opposition and take care of business. “On the Gram bluffin’, know what’s up, soon as I see, up it,” EST Gee raps over the haunting beat. Mozzy checks in later, rapping, “Crop out anything that ain’t from the set unless he know somethin.’”

The new record is not the first collaboration between Mozzy and EST Gee. Last year, Mozzy recruited EST Gee and Babyface Ray for “Beat The Case” from his Untreated Trauma project.

You can listen to “Lurkin” in the video above.

Jay-Z Highlights Babyface Ray, Kodak Black, And More In His New Memorial Day Playlist For Tidal

Another holiday, another chance for Jay-Z to re-up his rap nerd credibility. This time around, Jay’s new Tidal playlist is called “Montecito” and landed on the streaming app on Memorial Day with the description “(Mostly) ’22 vibes.” The one exception that prompts the qualifier is Kodak Black’s 2021 hit “Super Gremlin,” which extended its run far beyond its October 2021 release date as one of the more popular recent singles in rap.

Kodak also appears multiple times on the playlist, with Jay including “Purple Stamp” and “I Wish” from the Floridian’s 2022 project Back For Everything. Other artists Jay included multiple times are Detroit upstart Babyface Ray, whose Face track “A1 Since Day 1” leads off the playlist, and 42 Dugg & EST Gee, the dynamic duo whose joint mixtape Last Ones Left was the brainchild of their CMG team captain, Yo Gotti. Speaking of Yo Gotti, the Memphis mainstay also gets multiple selections from his own new project CM10: Free Game.

Of course, Kendrick Lamar’s Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers gets a few entries, as do Future and Lil Durk, while Boldy James, Pusha T, and Vince Staples are all represented with a track apiece. And because having one problematic entity in Kodak Black apparently wasn’t enough, Jay gave some “True Love” to his musical younger brother Kanye West’s new track with XXXTentacion. If anything is missing, it’s some female representation; you’d think Jay would love the throwback vibe of Megan Thee Stallion’s new track “Plan B.”

As always, though, the new playlist proves that Hov keeps his ears to the street, even if he’s not actively recording any new music himself. And for the newer or more underground artists receiving some spotlight, it’s a chance to tap in with new fans who recognize Jay’s nearly impeccable taste. You can listen to the playlist on Tidal below.

EST Gee Is On The Offensive With EST DeMike In Their Fearless ‘Never Scared’ Video

Last year, EST Gee and 42 Dugg proved to be one of rap’s hottest newcomers with their respective projects Bigger Than Life Or Death and Free Dem Boyz. Both being signees to Yo Gotti’s CMG label, it’s only right that they joined forces last month for their Last Ones Left project. It delivered 17 songs with most being collaborations with Gee and Dugg while others were individual efforts from the rappers. Almost a month after they dropped Last Ones Left, Gee unloads a video for one of his solo cuts from the album.

EST Gee lays off a video for “Never Scared” with EST DeMike. Both rappers are a part of the Everybody Shine Together collective, and in the video, they stand tall as a fearless duo who won’t back down from the opposition no matter the danger that lays ahead of them. The video also features the expected collection of luxury cars, jewelry, and money to really round things out.

The new video joins “Whole Gang Buss,” “Thump Sh*t,” “Everybody Shooters Too,” and “Free The Shiners” as songs from Last Ones Left to receive the visual treatment.

You can watch the video for “Never Scared” above.

Last Ones Left is out now via CMG/Warlike/Interscope. You can stream it here.
