Rich The Kid Reveals The Roles For Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign On Upcoming LP “Life’s A Gamble”

March 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rich The Kid has been laying low for the majority of these last couple of years. However, 2024 appears to be the year that we get to hear more from the Queens, New York native. The big reason for that is his guest appearance on Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s VULTURES banger “CARNIVAL.” It is has become one of the biggest tracks in hip-hop, but also in general. The song just went number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and it still sits atop the TikTok Top 50 as well.

However, Rich The Kid has plenty more going on than just that one track. Fairly soon, he will be returning with his first solo record in four years. Life’s a Gamble is expected sometime this spring and there are lots of rumors swirling around who will be featured on it. But, according to HipHopDX, we can now officially say Rich The Kid will be working with Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign in some shape or form.

It would be revealed through a now deleted Instagram post from Rich in which he was also thanking people for getting “CARNIVAL” to go number one. In the caption we now know that Ye and Ty will be handling executive production duties. “Thank you to all the fans, my family that always support love! #V2 & My album exec prod. by Ye & Ty$ OTW.” This is certainly exciting news, given the track record of the VULTURES creators. With all of this hype around Life’s a Gamble, hopefully, it does better with the fans.

YG Is Executive Producing A Drama Series Called “Don’t Come To L.A.”

October 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

YG is stepping into his TV bag! Deadline exclusively announced today that Amazon MGM Studios has an exciting new drama series project in the works titled Don’t Come To L.A., in partnership with rapper YG. The accomplished Damani Johnson, known for works like “The Crossover” and “One Piece” will also be serving as writer-producer for the series. According to Deadline, Don’t Come To L.A. consists of a narrative written by Keith Sweet II, the creative mind behind Star Trek: Prodigy. The series revolves around a low-level gangster in the city of Los Angeles, who finds himself in a sticky situation. Assigned to protect one of the hottest rappers in the music industry by the security firm employed by his crime syndicate, the protagonist must navigate the world of gangsters and the glitz and glamour of the celebrity scene.

Damani Johnson takes the helm as the showrunner, and YG joins the team as an executive producer. They are accompanied by a talented group of industry veterans, including Trevor Engelson of Snowfall, Josh McGuire of Underground, and the collective forces of SB Projects represented by Scooter Braun, James Shin of Dave, and Scott Manson. Moreover, Douglas Banker from Johnny Football at Five All in the Fifth contributes his expertise to the production.

The collaboration holds special significance as both YG and Sweet hail from Compton, California. Not only is YG in his music bag, but he’s also getting ready to drop a joint project with Tyga called Hit Me When U Leave The Klub: The Playlist. Earlier this month, they unveiled the tracklist for the project, which consists of 14 songs. What makes this project even more anticipated is the lineup of impressive guest appearances from heavy-hitters. Features such as Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, and Blxst have been listed on the tracklist.

With the talented cast and crew, Don’t Come To L.A. seems like it will be a compelling addition to the world of television. The mix of the gritty gang drama plus the celebrity scene is a world that YG had to navigate coming into his fame. In fact, it represents the complexities of fame in Los Angeles as a whole. Let us know your thoughts on this upcoming series on HNHH! Will you be tuning in?

It’s not the first time that French has mentioned Cole being interested in executive producing Excuse My French. “He [J. Cole] almost executive produced my first album [Excuse My French] after I played him the music. I think Cole is one of the dopest artists that came out,” he told Montreality back in 2017, “I just remember when we were in the Club Paradise Tour with Drake and I was working on my first album, and we had “Pop That” and everything. I was playing him my album and he just called me one day like, “Yo French, I would love to help you with the album. Let me executive produce it.” Be on the lookout for further updates on new music from French Montana on HotNewHipHop.
