Pusha-T’s upcoming album might already be “Album Of The Year,” and it hasn’t even dropped yet. Push excited fans last year when he said that his album would be produced by Pharrell and Kanye. Push built the hype over his upcoming project even more after he dropped his single “Diet Coke.” In a new interview, Push confirms that Jay-Z will be featured on the forthcoming project as well.

Push revealed the news while speaking with Gillie Da Kid and Walloon on the Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast. He discussed his prior history with Hov while noting that he has 3 songs with him now. His noted that his first collab with Hov was on “So Appalled” off of Ye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and his second collab was on the 2016 assisted track “Drug Dealers Anonymous.” That’s when Push revealed that his third collab with Jay would be “something from my new album.”

“I don’t know if I was supposed to say that,” Pusha added.

Gillie and Walloon both agreed that Push washed Jay on “Drug Dealers Anonymous,” but Push came to defend Hov, saying “Oh, he got busy. I send him shit ‘cause I know he gonna say shit that I just can’t say. To me, that’s what be wild impressive.” 

Push’s comments come after a recent interview with Complex’s Speedy Morman where he shot down rumors that Hov would be on the album.

During the podcast, he also spoke about the picture he had posted of what many claimed to be a release from Ye’s G.O.O.D Music. Push said that the picture was actually a contract in which Ye signed over his profits from Pusha’s back catalog and new album over to him.

Wack 100 Believes Kodak Black Was Shot Over Years Old Comments About Lauren London

Kodak Black was shot at a Justin Beiber party in Los Angeles during Super Bowl weekend. Last week, rumors surfaced claiming Toronto rapper Pressa’s team was behind the shooting. However, in a recent Clubhouse chat, Wack 100 believes that an LA-based gang was responsible for the shooting. Wack 100 also believes that the shooting was over comments Kodak Black made about Lauren London following the death of Nipsey Hussle.

“Lauren London that’s baby, though,” said Kodak in April 2019. “She ’bout to be out here single. She fittin’ to be a whole widow out here. I’ll be the best man I can be for her. I’ll give her a whole year. She might need a whole year to be crying and sh*t for [Nipsey].”

Wack believes that someone still harbored resentment towards Kodak for three years because of what he said and waited until the Florida rapper was in LA to attack him.

“N***as out here trippin’ on Kodak, man. On some clout chasing sh*t,” Wack said. “Talkin’ ’bout, ‘What’s that sh*t you said about Lauren London?’ Man, get the f*ck out of here. But Kodak got off!”

You can listen to Wack’s comments below.

Intruders ravished Draymond Green’s Los Angeles home, stealing over $1 million in items including watches and jewelry.

According to TMZ, Draymond was at the Super Bowl during the robbery and came home to find his home ransacked. The robbers entered Draymond’s home through a window and escaped with watches, jewelry, and more.

Currently, there have been no arrests made in the case.

On the brighter side for Draymond, he starred in Build a Bigger Table: All for the Pack, a new digital campaign from Lobos 1707 Tequila and Mezcal. Green is an investor in the tequila brand. The campaign, which was created and directed by creator and Chief Creative Officer Diego Osorio, is based on real-life events in which Lobos 1707 draws people together, and it highlights how each person participating in the tequila’s creation is vital to the Pack. The bottle is being passed down from founders and investors to jimadors, distillers, mixologists, industry leaders, and partners who have all contributed to the brand’s success. The film weaves together each person’s involvement in the brand’s story and achievements thus far.

XXXTENTACION’S ‘?’ is Now the Most Streamed Album on Spotify

by
XXXTentacion's Family Welcomes his Son, Gekyume Onfroy

The popularity of XXXTentacion is just as big as ever. The late rap superstar’s ? album is officially the most streamed album in the history of Spotify. XXX’s effort passed Drake’s Scorpion for the honor.

According to Complex, last November Drake’s Scorpion had a billion stream lead on ? but now trails the effort in a score of 7.884 to 7.883.

Earlier this year, XXXTENTACION’s “vice city” is became available on all DSPs for the first time.

“vice city” is one of X’s most well-known compositions from his “SoundCloud Era,” and it was the first song to appear on his SoundCloud page. From sampling Laura Mvula to using a Logic-style rhythm he found on YouTube, the song demonstrates XXXTENTACION’s talent even at the tender age of 16. This piece of work is more than just a song for X fans. It was the first glimpse inside the complicated and at times depressing mind of someone with whom many of his fans could identify. When compared to other artists at the time, it was instantly evident how raw and original X was, and his genre-free approach established a gateway to the music-making environment we take for granted today.

Ahead of the release, The Estate of Jahseh Onfroy released an official statement:

We continue to be amazed at the love and support that X’s fans show on a daily basis. We know how much his music means to all of you, and his impact continues to be as powerful as it’s ever been. 

It is important to us to continue to honor Jah’s legacy, and in that spirit we are planning an exciting 2022. One of our first initiatives is to get as much of X’s music from his earliest days as an artist up on all DSPs. We have been working diligently to clear as much of it as possible, and we are excited to announce our first release this Friday with “vice city” hitting all streaming services for the first time. We will continue to release music as we clear it, and are making sure we do it in a way that stays true to how X released each song originally. 

Visit www.makeouthill.com now to sign up and stay up to date with X-related news, and be the first to be notified as the site evolves. Follow @makeouthill on Twitter for more updates. 

Beyond the music, we know X’s fans have been waiting patiently for the documentary and we will be sharing updates on it soon. 

Thank you again for your support and for continuing to honor and celebrate the life of Jah.
