The internet can be a pretty ruthless place. For the last six years, hip-hop fans have been rallying for the release of New York rapper Bobby Shmurda, who was incarcerated for conspiracy to commit murder, reckless endangerment, and drug and gun possession charges. This year, the GS9 representative was finally released, marking a celebratory moment for the 26-year-old rapper, his family, friends, and fans. However, almost immediately after getting home, Bobby learned that not everyone was on his side, getting clowned over his rumored girlfriend.
While he fought back against the attempted humiliation at the time, people have grown impatient with Bobby, who has yet to release new music since getting out. The young man has been living his life and having lots of fun, as evidenced by the content he’s been posting on social media. However, some fans have simply gotten tired of waiting, responding to one of his recent videos where he shows off his new dance moves and roasting him.
“We waited 7 years for this,” asked one fan in the comments. That sentiment was echoed by hundreds of others who uttered the same joke on differing platforms. “Bobby doin everything but dropping da album,” said another commenter.
When the video was posted to Akademiks’ page on Instagram, fans were a little less tame, with some even taking virtual jabs at Bobby. “He learned that dance in jail,” laughed one person. “I know son not twerking,” added another.
We’ll keep you updated on Bobby Shmurda’s upcoming new music releases. Until then, what do you think of his dance? Read through some of the comments below.

Mooski has taken the music industry by storm. Propelled into commercial success by the popular #Trackstarchallenge on TikTok, “Track Star” has gone on to earn the Alabama-native two major career milestones. In addition to taking the #1 airplay position at Urban radio for the second week in a row, the track has just been RIAA Gold-certified. It took just eight weeks for the track to ascend to the summit while its combined global streams have soared past 150 million.
Given the song’s popularity, it’s no wonder the 23-year-old has unleashed a star-studded remix of the hit. Tapping onto the shoulders of dependable feature artists Chris Brown, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and Yung Bleu, the quartet relay similar messages about an emotionally unavailable girl running game on them. Keeping the melody the same, Mooski offered a new intro verse on the song for the newly released version.
Check out the remix of Mooski’s hit “Track Star” featuring Chris Brown, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and Yung Bleu below, and drop a comment letting us know how you’re feeling about it.
Quotable Lyrics:
She’s a liar, she a capper
She’d do anything for the Black Card
She give you her pain with a black heart (No)
Should of never let that shit get that far (Woah, Woah)
One of the most exciting young stars of tomorrow, Louisville-based rapper 2KBABY has officially returned with his new single “Great White.”
Continuing to level up ever since the release of his breakout hit “Old Streets,” the Marshmello collaborator is back with another solid effort, convincing hip-hop fans why he should be taken seriously for the years to come. While the song’s title may suggest an aggressive delivery from 2KBABY, the rising talent goes the opposite direction, taking a melodic approach to convince everyone of his prowess in the streets.
“I’m a big shark and everybody else is watching,” he said of the new song. “Also, sharks do their own thing, a shark is in its own world in the ocean while everything else is happening on land. I’m not in the mix like that. And when anything comes into the ocean the shark is at an advantage.”
Listen to the latest single from 2KBABY below and let us know what you think.
Quotable Lyrics:
Late night, we was over running on the back street
Great White, all you lil’ n***as in the back seat
Baby, I’m a trapper, let me f*ck you to a fast beat
Boy, I’m not a rapper, all you rappers want a rap beef
Brockhampton fans took a blow this past March when the group’s founder and de facto frontman, Kevin Abstract, announced that their next two albums would be their last as a group. Since then, they’ve released the first of the pair, the expansive Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine, leaving them with one final project to put out as a group before they go their separate ways.
However, before that, Kevin addressed the impending shakeup on Twitter, perhaps hoping to impart a sense of closure to longtime fans and reassure them that the group wasn’t breaking up for the usual dramatic reasons music fans are used to hearing. “We all love each other and we wanna continue making the best music we can,” he wrote. “Everybody just getting a lil older and got a lot to say outside of group projects. We’ve dedicated the last ten years of our lives to making music together. This next project we’re just doing what’s rite.”

He did share some good news for Brockham fans sorry to see the group go, though. While their next album will be the final album completed as a group, Abstract did tease that the long-awaited Technical Difficulties project that appeared to be scrapped last year might still see a release sometime down the road — it just may take a while due to sample clearances. “Still wanna try to get technical difficulties out at some point,” he admitted. “Just hella samples to clear, so i wouldn’t even be surprised if that came after the last album. But we really want that out.”

The group hasn’t yet announced when the final album will come along or what it’ll be called, but there’s a Europe tour planned for 2022, so it’ll presumably be out by then, and then the future beckons.
Check out the tour dates for 2022 below.

It’s official; Mozzy and YG’s full-length joint project, which features collaborations “Bompton To Oak Park” and “Perfect Timing” with Blxst, has a solid release date. The duo announced the title and release date of Kommunity Service today, sharing the cover and star-studded tracklist as well. The cover reproduces the poster of Hype Williams’ 1998 feature film debut Belly with Mozzy and YG standing in for the late DMX and Nas, while the tracklist includes a who’s-who of street-centric fellows; A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, G Herbo, Tyga, and Young M.A are all set to appear on the 10-song set.
The two California rappers will drop Kommunity Service this Friday, May 21. Both rappers are in the midst of career upswings; while Mozzy turned in a productive 2020 with two albums, Beyond Bulletproof and Occupational Hazard, YG successfully launched his own artists and imprint with the compilation EP 4hunnid Presents: Gang Affiliated. Some of both artists’ signees are included on Kommunity Service, including D3szn, E Mozzy, and Celly Ru.

Following reports that Lollapalooza’s 2021 return was approved by the city, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot makes it official. Lightfoot tapped Dave Grohl to join her in a video to tease the return of massive festival, saying it can return to it’s full capacity of 100,000 people per day and will take place in Grant Park the weekend of July 29 through August 1.
The teaser video opens with Lightfoot and Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Allison Arwady, who has been advising the city on COVID-19 safety measures, sitting together on lawn chairs and listening to music. Lightfoot asks Arwady if live music will be able to return soon, and she replies with, “You know, I think we can do it. We keep getting people vaccinated, we keep making good progress, I’m giving the green light.” Grohl then appears in the clip with his own video message. “What’s up Chicago. I’ll see you this summer with my good friends the Foo Fighters,” he says.
Sharing the video on social media, Lightfoot wrote that proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test will be require upon entry at Lollapalooza. “In alignment with our public health guidance, the world class festival returns to the city later this summer. However, full COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test will be required to enjoy the festivities.”

Fans show love for their favorite artists in a number of ways, whether it’s an act as simple as streaming the performer’s songs or something as intense as getting an indelible tattoo of an album cover. The way Bryce Vine sees it, his relationship with his fans goes both directions, which he shows in the first episode of Uproxx’s new series On Repeat, made in partnership with Straight Talk.
In the video, Vine stands before a blank canvas of a jacket surrounded by patches, pins, and other DIY-ready materials, with the intent of making a custom jacket for himself. For Vine’s design, he took inspiration from the gifts his fans have given him over the years, saying, “One of my favorite things about shows is when fans bring me personalized things. Some of my favorite items of clothing I’ve ever had were things my fans sent to me by mail or given me at shows.”
Vine also speaks about how quality doesn’t have to cost much by explaining how that mindset works in terms of his creative process: “I don’t think quality really has to cost anything. It’s just like music: trying things out for hours and hours, moving things around, seeing what fits together right.”
Check out the video above for more from Bryce Vine and keep an eye out for more episodes of On Repeat.
Bryce Vine is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
