As the summer heat begins to cool down, Harlem’s own Neek Bucks is turning up the temperature in the hip-hop world with the highly anticipated release of the visuals for “Admit It,” a track from his latest project, Unique. The video, set to drop this Friday, September 6, is already generating buzz for its gritty, nostalgic vibe that’s sure to resonate with fans of classic New York hip-hop.

Joining Neek Bucks on this track is none other than the iconic A$AP Ferg. Together, the duo delivers a masterclass in lyrical prowess, skating effortlessly over the beat with unforgettable bars that showcase the best of Harlem’s rap scene. Directed by Nimi Hendrix, the video is a tribute to the streets that raised them, offering a visual experience that feels both fresh and familiar.

Set against the backdrop of Harlem, the “Admit It” video captures the essence of the neighborhood’s rich hip-hop history. The visuals are a perfect match for the track’s raw energy, creating a vibe that will have fans hitting replay. With its old-school feel and sharp lyricism, this release is sure to be a standout in Neek Bucks’ growing catalog.

Fans can catch the “Admit It” video on Neek Bucks’ official YouTube channel this Friday. But that’s not all—Neek Bucks is also gearing up for a new collaboration with the incomparable Joey Bada$$, promising more heat to come.

Hailing from Harlem, New York, Neek Bucks has quickly made a name for himself with his gritty lyrics and authentic storytelling. Drawing inspiration from legends like Jay-Z, Nipsey Hussle, and 50 Cent, Neek Bucks has been dubbed today’s “neighborhood hov,” a title he wears with pride as he continues to represent his roots.

His journey through the rap game has been marked by impressive milestones, including sharing a stage with Harlem’s own Dipset at the Apollo and going on tour with YFN Lucci. His video single “Energy” featuring Lil Durk further solidified his place in the industry, showcasing his ability to create music that resonates with listeners on a deeper level.

Neek Bucks considers himself the missing piece in today’s hip-hop landscape, and with the release of “Admit It,” he’s proving that he’s here to make a lasting impact. As he continues to evolve and push the boundaries of his craft, there’s no doubt that Neek Bucks is on a trajectory to become one of the most influential voices in hip-hop.

SOURCE SPORTS: Cleveland Guardians’ Tyresse Turner Drops His Dirty South Centered Playlist On Black Baseball Mixtape

unnamed 1

This week’s MLB playlist comes from Terrance. California born utility man for the Cleveland Guardians organization, former USC star Tyresse Turner. The switch hitting right hander was recruited to the Guardians’ High-A Lake County Captains before being shifted to the Lynchburg Hillcats, hitting .238 with 23 RBIs and 30 stolen bases with both teams that year.

This year, the 24-year-old Turner took his talents to the Double-A Akron Rubberducks(another Cleveland Guardians affiliate) and back to Lake County, where he now boasts a .250 batting average, with 25 RBIs including four homers in 68 games. Turner was mainly used as an infielder in his first year, playing all positions except first first base for the Captains and the Hillcats, but was switched to left field and utilized as a designated hitter half of his time on the field for the Rubberducks and the Captains in 2024.

Even as a West Coaster, Turner still has a Dirty South musical taste, with heavy NoCap, Gunna, Rod Wave and others from South of the Mason/Dixon. He still reps the Golden State with some Nipsey and Buddy collaboration flavors. It’s a plenty lengthy array of Turner’s favorites, so check out the playlist courtesy of the good people at Black baseball Mixtape!
