In the new visual, SadBoy, Kap G, and YBE cruises through the signature Los Angeles’ palm trees in a drop-top lowrider — headed to the high-profile house party. Worry-free by the coast, surrounded by real ones and baddies, they set the scene, each verse reflecting their own definition of what they’ve got going on “over here.”

From the Micheladas being sipped to the Cali being smoked, the visuals reflect each artists’ words perfectly. Through the smooth sounds of a keyboard and a clap on the beat, Sadboy Loko emanates the nostalgic feel of a West Coast summer perfectly.

“The new generation switched up the LA sound,” says SadBoy Loko, “new faces, new artists… but our sound has a summer vibe.”

Lil Wayne and Mark Cuban Share a Moment Courtside During Western Conference Finals

H.E.R., Lil Wayne, The Isley Brothers Are Set To Headline 2021 One Music Festival

As the Western Conference Finals were heating up last week, so was a beef between Lil Wayne and Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban.

Lil Wayne was rooting for Phoenix Suns in their second-round matchup with the Dallas Mavericks. The Suns would lose but earlier in the series, Weezy let off his feelings about Mavs superstar Luka Doncic, calling him a “ho.”

Once the Suns were blown out and bounced out of the playoffs, Mavs owner Mark Cuban found that tweet and offered one of his own, using lyrics from Wayne’s “Uproar.”

Wayne saw it and fired back: “Mark Cuban don’t make me et u smacked boy U playin w me?? I will piss in ya fkn mouth ho”

He also dropped this one that hasn’t been deleted:

Wayne’s manager Mack Maine arranged for the brief war of words to stop and now the two met courtside in San Francisco.

Wayne’s friend Skip Bayless provided some additional details.

Babyface Ray may have a calm demeanor on the microphone, but he has no chill when making music. The Detroit rapper released his debut studio album FACE just four months ago. At midnight, Babyface Ray added eight extra tracks to his FACE album, bringing the total to 28.

Babyface Ray, who heavily contributed to the Midwest music wave, served as a poster boy when making motivational music. He uses his music to inspire listeners to seek financial freedom.

Since entering the rap game, he has held a significant presence, and he feels the momentum he’s gained will roll over in the summer. Ray took it to Twitter to express his confidence in his FACE deluxe album.

Quavo and Takeoff Release New Single “Hotel Lobby”

unnamed 3 2

The tag team of Quavo and Takeoff is officially here. The duo has joined for the new wild single and video “Hotel Lobby.”

As Quavo and Takeoff swap one intoxicating bar after another, the airy cinematic production and sinister pace establish the tone. The song video, which was co-directed by Keemotion and Quavo, is a bizarre homage to Terry Gilliam’s cult masterpiece Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which starred Johnny Depp and Benicio Del Toro. Quavo and Takeoff play Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo, respectively, as they cruise around the desert with a “mobile pharmacy” before pulling up to a Las Vegas hotel and barely passing through the doors to check in. As they present the South’s first real hip-hop dedication to the late Hunter S. Thompson, they provide all kinds of psychedelic, tripped-out trap lunacy.

You can see the new video below.
