YG, Mozzy, and Ty Dolla $ign Connect On “Vibe With You”

by

Today, YG and Mozzy shared their highly anticipated collab album Kommunity Service, and the California team-up doesn’t look like it will disappoint die-hard fans of West Coast Hip-Hop. Complete with features from artists such as Young M.A, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, E Mozzy, Celly Ru, D3szn, Blxst, G Herbo, and Ty Dolla $ign, Kommunity Service has no shortage of high-profile collaborations.

One of the most eye-catching collabs on the YG and Mozzy’s joint project is “Vibe With You,” a Ty Dolla $ign-assisted cut that’s destined to make some major noise this summer.

Set over bright, guitar-laden production, “Vibe With You” is a catchy tune that finds Ty Dolla $ign’s carefree hook at its epicenter. After hearing the melodies of Ty’s chorus fade away for the first time, YG lets off an aggressive yet endearing verse, even though he notably kicks it off by rapping, “Uh, I ain’t never on no soft shit.” After another run at Ty Dolla $ign’s infectious hook, Mozzy takes the reigns and follows YG’s lead with a verse that’s just as hard as it is sentimental.

Check out YG, Mozzy, and Ty Dolla $ign’s West Coast summer smash “Vibe With You” below, and listen to the rest of YG and Mozzy’s joint project Kommunity Service here.

Quotable Lyrics

I f*ck with you, you idolize Beyoncé
I f*ck with you, your baby hairs like Ashanti
If I put a baby in you, then you stuck
You could never leave, we ain’t doin’ a Kim and Kanye

Lil Reese Speaks Out & Clarifies “Fake Ass Stories” About His Shooting

by

Chicago rapper Lil Reese is lucky to see another day after yet another shooting incident this weekend. The rapper had a near-death experience after he was reportedly among three men found inside a stolen vehicle. A 55-year-old father tracked his son’s stolen car to a parking garage in Chicago and when he confronted the three men inside the whip, another man opened fire on the car. Lil Reese was confirmed to have been shot with a bullet reportedly grazing his eye.

Some reports have stated that the rapper lost sight in one of his eyes but, according to the Grim Reaper, those stories are false. He took to Snapchat to clear up the rumors about his sight, claiming that he’s doing fine.

“I’m good I’m not blind or shit,” wrote Lil Reese. “Don’t believe what you seeing on internet I don’t even kno where tf they getting all these fake ass stories from.”

A video showing the aftermath of the shooting was released online this week, showing Reese bleeding heavily. The rapper was barely conscious in the video. He’s definitely lucky to be alive.

We will continue to keep you updated as Lil Reese speaks out about the shooting. We are sending our love and well wishes to him and his family.

Young M.A. Drops Off New Album “Off The Yak”

by

Young M.A has come through to deliver her brand new album Off The Yak, which further explores the New York rapper’s relationship with the Brooklyn Drill sound. It’s a natural fit for M.A, whose self-assured bars pair effectively with the percussive production. On that note, beat-making responsibilities are handled by her longtime collaborator Mike Zombie, as well as NY Bangers, Jai Beats, and more. 

Clocking in at a little over thirty-two minutes in runtime, the eleven-track project is another strong release from M.A, who continues to assert herself as one of her city’s authoritative voices. There’s often a sense that questioning her would be most unwise, and the quietly aggressive lyricist is at her best when asserting her dominance. “I don’t even gotta say I’m queen of my city no more,” she muses, on the intro track “Successful.” “They know I’m the queen. They already jacked that.”

While largely the focal sound of the project, Off The Yak isn’t entirely fueled by Brooklyn Drill production. Songs like “Yak Thoughts” and “Big Steppa” find M.A. putting in work over a different vibe, showcasing her adaptability. For the most part, however, the hard-hitting bangers and braggadocious bars are the main attraction, and Young M.A’s latest further solidifies the notion that she’s among the best in her class. Stream Off The Yak now, and sound off with your thoughts below.

Maury Reacts To Nick Cannon Allegedly Expecting A Child With “Wild ‘N Out” Model

by

It sure seems like Nick Cannon could be expecting this seventh child after Wild ‘N Out model Alyssa Scott seemingly revealed that the television host is the father of her unborn child. This week, she posted her gorgeous maternity photos, but it was her caption that got the most attention.

“ZEN S. CANNON,” wrote Scott on Instagram, appearing to reveal the name of her baby. When somebody asked if Nick Cannon was the father of the baby, she simply commented back with heart emojis. 

Cannon is also expecting twins with Abby De La Rose, so the timing of Scott’s pregnancy has surprised many of the comedian’s fans. As we wait for confirmation that Cannon is the daddy of Scott’s unborn child, famed talk show host Maury Povich is already getting involved, seemingly offering to help with one of his televised paternity tests.

“I got this,” commented Maury on The Shade Room’s post about Alyssa Scott’s pregnancy. People are on board with a paternity test, liking the post over 54,000 times at the time of this publication. Do you think Nick Cannon will agree to a paternity test on Maury’s show?

Nick Cannon currently has four children, with two that are confirmed to be on the way. His rumored baby with Alyssa Scott would give him a total of seven kids.

Latto (FKA Mulatto) Ushers In A New Era And Name On Her Boastful Single, ‘The Biggest’

by

As she emerged into the mainstream, Mulatto was hit with criticism over her stage name. The moniker holds racist undertones as its original use was for livestock, specifically the hybrid offspring of a horse and a donkey. The term transformed into an offensive way to classify someone with “mixed” ancestry. After answering a number of questions about the name, Mulatto promised to change the name something she officially did this month. Now going by Latto, the XXL Freshman makes it official and addresses the matter on her new track, “The Biggest.”

The hard-hitting effort sees Latto telling her side of the story in the “mulatto” controversy. “I’ll be damned if the name the reason I don’t make it,” she raps. “It contradicted for what I stand for / The backlash ain’t what I planned for / Now I know better, so I’m movin’ better.” Later in the song, she adds, “First I wasn’t tryna hear the facts / If they don’t wanna understand me, kiss my ass / But looking back, that was immature.”

Back in January, Latto explained why she opted to change her name. “You know you might know your intentions, but these are strangers who don’t know you, never even met you in person,” she said. “So you gotta hear each other out, and if you know those aren’t your intentions and that’s how it’s being perceived, it’s like why not make a change or alter it?”

Ransom & Lloyd Banks Spit Bars On “Gluttony”

by

Anybody who remembers David Fincher’s classic film Se7en can likely recall the gruesome opening murder scene. Clearly, Ransom and Lloyd Banks do, having reimagined it for the artwork of their new duet “Gluttony.” Perhaps appropriate, as both emcees proceed to slowly kill the track with a steady diet of bar after bar, a hint of the macabre madness to come on Ransom’s upcoming SE7EN mixtape. 

Over a backdrop laced by V DON & NLCK, who conjure up a spooky blend of pianos and boom-bap drums, Ransom sets it off. “It’s bout time, there’s always an opinion when n***as doubt mine,” he raps. “I shoot perfect from three, and they say you missed from the foul-line / I get sick with these foul lines, the shotty erase your thoughts and blow out minds.” Banks tags in to slam the nail into the coffin, warming up for COTI with a furious verse. “Palace to raise my daughters in,” he raps, whipping up a rapid-fire flow. “Watch your step for the screws I’m missin’ / crew conditions, few collisions / spin your block for superstition.” 

Check out the latest from Banks and Ransom now, and sound off in the comments below. 

QUOTABLE LYRICS

It’s bout time, there’s always an opinion when n***as doubt mine
I shoot perfect from three, and they say you missed from the foul-line 
I get sick with these foul lines, the shotty erase your thoughts and blow out minds

Money Man & Young Dolph Team Up On “Whole Lotta”

by

At the start ofo 2020, Money Man appeared poised to take over. Within the first quarter of the year, the Black Circle artist had released two well-received projects, State of Emergency and Epidemic. The latter of the two spawned his fan-favorite single “24” with Lil Baby, but since his March releases, Money Man sort of took a step back and resorted to releasing loose singles on his YouTube. 

Today, the Atlanta artist is back with his first DSP-ready single of 2021. Titled “Whole Lotta,” Money Man’s new song finds him rapping side by side with Paper Route Empire rapper Young Dolph.

Led by an infectious “Whole Lotta”-filled hook, Money Man’s new song is full of flexes and quotable bars from both him and his Memphis collaborator. Having uploaded “Whole Lotta” to streaming services, Money Man’s latest single may signal that the former Cash Money artist is at long last gearing up to drop a new project.

Stay tuned for more Money Man updates, and in the meantime, check out “Whole Lotta” with Young Dolph below.

Quotable Lyrics

Whole lot of hash, I be usin’ that butane
Whole lotta, whole lotta vibes, I’m the new wave
Whole lotta hundreds inside of my bookbag
Count up a hundred while rockin’ a durag

Curren$y & Alchemist’s “Covert Coup” Hits Streaming

by

Curren$y Spitta’s discography requires serious dedication to experience; not that it’s even remotely grueling to listen to the prolific emcee, but the scope of his catalog is simply overwhelming to behold. Yet among Spitta’s die-hard disciples, there has been a long-endured fondness for his 2010 release Covert Coup, produced in its entirety by The Alchemist.

As many hip-hop heads have come to recognize, anything that finds The Alchemist stepping up and handling business behind the boards will always be an enjoyable experience. In the case of Covert Coup, he blesses Curren$y with some of his rawest production, a refreshing contrast to Spitta’s typically luxurious aesthetic. As such, there’s unique energy throughout the tape that helps it stand out amidst a sea of solid work, and its long-awaited arrival on streaming services is a most welcome development.

Boasting features from Freddie Gibbs (with whom Spitta would one day lace the Fetti collab album), Smoke DZA, Fiend, and the late Prodigy, Covert Coup is a nostalgic listen that actually sounds right at home in today’s landscape. And with rumors swirling that Curren$y and Alc have been steadily cooking up a sequel, now is the perfect time to dive back into one of the mixtape era’s beloved deeper cuts. Check out this re-release now, and sound off in the comments with your favorite tracks.  

42 Dugg Has Another One With “Maybach” Featuring Future

by

All week, hip-hop fans have been reacting to a new verse from Future, in which he seemingly disses Lori Harvey, his ex-girlfriend. “Magic City, I’m the owner/Tell Steve Harvey I don’t want her,” raps the Atlanta rap superstar on a new collaborative single with 42 Dugg called “Maybach,” which appears on Dugg’s new album Free Dem Boyz. 

Given the toxicity shown in this lyric, fans were excited for Future to be so unapologetic in his music. Over the years, fans have grown to love Future as their “toxic king,” celebrating his most ruthless moments with memes all over social media. In addition to the Steve Harvey bar, Fewtch starts the verse off by asking his current girlfriend Dess Dior to make him some noodles… so you already know how this is gonna go. After teasing the record for a few days, 42 Dugg and Future have released the music video for “Maybach,” which is directed by Jerry Production.

Check out the video below and be sure to listen to 42 Dugg’s new project Free Dem Boyz here.

Quotable Lyrics:

Magic City, I’m the owner
Tell Steve Harvey I don’t want her
One thing I never seen was a bitch that leave
Every time I crank the car, I don’t use a key
Push start, foreign whip
Two glizzies, extended clips
