Rod Wave Tells Gillie & Wallo That Drake Is Dream Collab, They Call His Team To Link

by

Sometimes a podcast appearance can do more than just contribute to a press run: it can get you closer to your dream link-up. Moreover, that’s exactly what happened to Rod Wave while talking to Gillie and Wallo on the Million Dollaz Worth Of Game program. Given all the hype around his upcoming album and tour this week, it seems like the perfect time to speak on his career up until this point. The St. Petersburg native took some time during the interview to name some of his greatest musical influences. However, there’s one name that stands alone atop his list of idols he wants to meet: Drake.

“I’ve been watching that boy for a long a** time,” Rod Wave said of the 6 God. “Since a juvenile, that’s really the one. Everybody else, I done met them, I done worked with them. It might change over time, but Ed Sheeran and Drake, I gotta f**k with Drake. I know bro super busy. That s**t would be cr*zy. I don’t even gotta do a song, I just wanna meet bro. This music is my life and how I be feeling, my music is different.”

After these remarks, Wallo got the gears turning and eventually gave the “Come See Me” crooner his shot. The media personality made some calls, got in touch with the right people, and eventually handed over the cellphone to Rod Wave so he could (presumably) talk with Drake, or at least his team. While they spoke, Gillie and Wallo talked about the 25-year-old’s upcoming album Nostalgia, which drops this Friday (September 15). In addition, they were able to get Wave a number from one of Drizzy’s people for him to log down, and emphasized the importance of people in the industry and hip-hop media, particularly Black artists and community members, helping each other succeed.

Meanwhile, with the Canadian superstar’s upcoming album For All The Dogs dropping the week after Nostalgia, it seems like the time came and went for the duo to link on wax. That’s not to say that some last-minute tracklist changes aren’t possible… just probably very difficult. But the future looks bright for the two.

Will Smith Shows Love To Joyner Lucas For His Latest Single “Broski”

by

Joyner Lucas is Will Smith’s favorite rapper, as he declared in a Facebook post praising his latest single, “Broski.” Of course, Smith is no stranger to the rap realm, but to see him engage with the game so many years into his career is still a treat to see. Moreover, the Massachusetts MC is on a streak of singles ahead of his next project, with his most recent before “Broski” being “Cut U Off” with NBA YoungBoy. His next album, titled Not Now, I’m Busy, is expected to drop at some point this year, and he’s showing no signs of slowing down with his prolific release schedule. Furthermore, this will be his first album since 2020’s ADHD, and the long wait has fans eating good with his new releases.

In addition, the 34-year-old also made strides with other industry figures to expand his repertoire and collaboration history. For example, Juelz Santana recently teased a song with Joyner Lucas, a meeting of two generations that could result in some lyrical gems. Not only that, but the song will appear on Santana’s Gangsta Grillz mixtape with DJ Drama. As such, there’s a lot of history on display for what looks to be Lucas’ comeback year.

The Will Smith-Certified “Broski”

Meanwhile, Will Smith is hard at work on his next film, Bad Boys 4 alongside Martin Lawrence. In addition, he and Michael B. Jordan announced a sequel to Smith’s 2007 film I Am Legend. Its producer and screenwriter, Akiva Goldsman, spoke to Deadline about the film’s plot. “This will start a few decades later than the first,” she revealed. “That will be especially visual in New York. I don’t know if they’ll climb up to the Empire State Building, but the possibilities are endless.

“We trace back to the original Matheson book [that the first movie was based on] and the alternate ending as opposed to the released ending in the original film,” Goldsman continued. “What Matheson was talking about was that man’s time on the planet as the dominant species had come to an end. That’s a really interesting thing we’re going to get to explore. There will be a little more fidelity to the original text.” For more on Will Smith and Joyner Lucas, stay posted on HNHH.
