Fetty Wap Opens Up On His Latest Track “Paterson Legend”

by

Though his relationship drama has often occupied headlines, it’s always nice to hear new music from Fetty Wap. The New Jersey rapper hasn’t necessarily been releasing music at the same rate as he used to due to bad business. However, he promised us in December that he’s “goin’ up” and it seems like he’s staying true to his word. 

This week, the rapper released his latest single, “Paterson Legend” along with an accompanying music video. The rapper details his come-up in New Jersey, as well as his rising success in the rap game but overall, it’s a dedication to the city of Paterson that raised him. 

Check out the latest offering from Fetty Wap and let us know in the comments what your thoughts are on his latest track.

Quotable Lyrics
When them n***as ran down
They seen the lions come out
Skinny n***a, big homie 
Them money makers come out
So much money ’round my table
Ain’t no debating too much
I got some n***as out in B-More 
That get it shakin’ too much

Lil Tjay Throws A Parking Lot Party In The Jaunty ‘Oh Well’ Video

by

On Friday, Lil Tjay released his new album Destined 2 Win, following up his well-received debut True 2 Myself and his 2020 mixtape State Of Emergency. Over the weekend, he shared the latest video from the new project, “Oh Well,” which finds Tjay and his friends posted up at a gas station for a jaunty parking lot party. The New York native shows off his footwork over a beefy beat while Tjay reflects on his newly luxurious circumstances.

“Oh Well” arrives on the heels of singles “Run It Up,” “Born 2 Be Great,” “Headshot,” and “Calling My Phone,” the first four singles from Destined 2 Win. The album itself features 21 tracks and includes guest appearances from 6lack, Fivio Foreign, Moneybagg Yo, Offset, Polo G, Saweetie, Toosii, and Tyga, while running the gamut from celebratory anthems to introspective ballads.

Tweeting about the album a week before its release, Tjay explained the album’s title, writing,” I named the album Destined 2 Win cause I always felt like something in me was meant to be great. Even when sh*t tried stop me it never did and I kept getting up!!” A day before its release, Tjay also shared the first episode of a documentary detailing the album’s creation.

Young Dolph & Key Glock’s ‘Rain Rain’ Video Waves Away The Haters

by

In Young Dolph & Key Glock’s video for their latest single, “Rain Rain,” the two Memphis rappers show off their recreational activities, which include bowling and playing with Nerf guns. Dolph opens the video flipping through a luxury catalogue, while his protege hangs out with women bowling in a black light-bathed private alley in the basement of what looks like their “Aspen” cabin. Dolph returns for a final appearance waving a green-and-blue Nerf gun around in another of the massive house’s spacious hallways.

The rollout for the duo’s second joint album Dum And Dummer 2 has been lengthy and impressive, as they shared videos for multiple tracks from the album, including “Case Closed,” “Aspen,” “Sleep With The Roaches,” “Penguins,” and “Dummest & The Dummest.” In the latter video, the pair discusses their plans for the Aspen cabin, and joke around about scamming rich white women for their favored video location.

In addition to the string of videos officially on Dum And Dummer 2, Dolph and Glock also linked up for videos for “No Sense” and “Green Light,” which appear on Dolph’s album Rich Slave — his final solo album, provided he holds to his threat to retire.

Sauce Walka Drops Off New Project “Sauce Train”

by

Sauce Walka might be quick to stir up controversy in the rap game, he at least releases music that can back up that type of trash talking. The rapper’s prolific run over the years has been largely done independently without any major backing. Projects like Sauce Ghetto Gospel and its sequel, as well as numerous efforts from the Sauce Twinz, have been done at their own accord.

Sauce Walka emerged this week with the release of his latest body of work, Sauce Train. The rapper’s flamboyant personality shines across the 15-song project as he talks his sh*t, reflects on the streets and celebrates his numerous wins.  Sauce Walka holds down the majority of the project on his own but he does tap artists like Voochie P, Sauce Gohan, and El Trainn for some assistance.

Check the project out below. 

Freddie Gibbs Details Insane Roster Of Producers For New Album

by

If you’re a fan of albums like Pinata, Bandana, and the Grammy-nominated Alfredo, then you’ll be incredibly excited to know that both Madlib and The Alchemist will be contributing to Freddie Gibbs’ next solo album. The rapper appeared on the cover of MixMag where he discussed his forthcoming project which is reportedly titled SSS, though it’s unclear what that stands for… yet.

The Alchemist and Madlib have proven to bring the best out of Freddie Gibbs but he’s expanding beyond those two producers for “another album of the year,” as he’d describe it. The elite group of producers that he’s enlisted for the project include Working On Dying, and Hit-Boy, as well as Mike Will Made It and Metro Boomin who he previously suggested was interested in working with him. “It’s another album of the year. I’m about to go and work with Pharrell next week. Madlib, Working On Dying, The Alchemist, Sevn Thomas, Hit-Boy, I just talked to [Mike Will Made It]. It’s gonna be the best produced album that I ever made,” he said.

Though nearing the age of 40, Gibbs insisted that his next album will continue to prove that he’s one of the best rappers to exist. “When rappers get to 30, some get bored, some aren’t inspired anymore,” he explained, adding that SSS will dive deeper into his compelling storytelling skills while reflecting on his unique position in the rap game.

Freddie Gibbs recently released his latest single, “Big Boss Rabbit” which he said was inspired by his loss to Nas at the Grammys. However, he admitted that it could’ve been worse in his recent cover story as he reflected on the results of the now-infamous 2013 Grammys Rap Album of the Year category winner. “If you’re gonna lose to somebody, you’re gonna want to lose to Nas,” he said. “Nas is a hall of fame MC. If anything it just shows how great I am to lose to such an MC. I could’ve lost to Macklemore or something.”

T.I. & Tiny Respond Following Three New Sexual Assault Allegations

by

On April 6th, 2021, following three new sexual assault allegations from as many women, T.I. and Tiny’s lawyer Steve Sadow has officially issued a statement on behalf of his clients.  

“The Harrises are still waiting for the accusers to reveal themselves publicly,” Sadow explained, speaking with Billboard. “By continuing to hide behind anonymous allegations, the unnamed accusers effectively render themselves not credible and unworthy of belief. We say: Let the light shine on their identities so we can go about disproving these scurrilous accusations.”

Though the three women have opted to remain anonymous, Page Six reports that they have enlisted attorney Tyrone A. Blackburn, who has been representing several of the women leveling accusations against the Harrises. The same report cites a statement from Blackburn’s spokesperson, in which a 20-year-old woman claims the couple “pulled out a pill and forced her to swallow it” at a Miami nightclub in 2010. The woman claims that she was later taken to a hotel in South Beach, forced to “take a powdered substance from [T.I’s] finger,” and forcibly undressed by Tiny. 

“[Tiny] undressed her and proceeded to engage in sexual intercourse,” continues the statement. “She said her body was numb, the room was slowing down, and she could not consent.” This follows a report from several days ago, where two women came forward to accuse T.I. and Tiny of rape and sex trafficking. 

Despite the mounting number of accusations, many of which share similarities, T.I. and Tiny have continued to categorically deny their involvement. While no charges have been officially pressed as of yet, Blackburn’s spokesperson claims that the lawyer is “speaking with investigators from multiple jurisdictions to pursue criminal charges.” Stay tuned for further updates as this developing story unfolds.

Larsa Pippen & Malik Beasley Break-Up After Four Months: Report

by

Malik Beasley and Larsa Pippen have split after four short months since they were first photographed together. 

According to an inside Page Six source, Larsa has been focused on healing from a calf injury and expanding her businesses. The controversial pair apparently still spent Valentine’s Day together, and remain in contact, but are no longer a couple according to the same insider. 

In December 2020, Beasley first popped up in Miami with Larsa, looking extremely cozy, thus revealing their romantic entanglement. However, Beasley’s estranged wife, Montana Yao, later came forward and admitted she was shocked to see the photos online and had no knowledge of the “budding romance” between the two, insinuating a cheating scandal was unfolding before the public eye– although it was later reported Beasley was separated from Yao at the time.

Still, fans of the Minnesota Timberwolves player managed to find comments he left on Larsa’s photos back in October 2020, clearly pursuing the influencer for some time, indicating that their relationship may have gone further back than the pair initially let on. 

Montana Yao also claimed on several occasions that Beasley was unfaithful to her, leading Larsa to be publicly shamed for being a “homewrecker.” 

It’s been a whirlwind of situation.

Cardi B Gives Update On New Album Sound

by

With only one album to her name, Cardi B has managed to elevate herself into one of hip-hop’s most commercially viable superstars; in fact, lead Invasion Of Privacy single “Bodak Yellow” was recently certified diamond, with “I Like It” not exactly far behind. Given how much replay value Cardi’s debut continues to have, many have been patiently waiting for news on her anticipated sophomore project. Today, XXL has shared an extensive cover story with Cardi, shedding a light on her upcoming body of work.

“I feel like at this point, it’s like a timeline that I created,” she reflects, speaking on how the COVID-19 pandemic upheaved her release plans. “Because last year, I was like, I gotta put out my album this year. But, then I just stopped working on my album out of nowhere because I feel like the whole COVID thing discouraged me to put out my album. Because I want to put out an album, and I want to tour…I want to meet up with people. I want to have a conversation. It’s a better vibe. I love album release parties. I would love an album release party in New York. I could have one in Atlanta, but I want one also at home. And I want to see people.”

She also acknowledges that releasing singles suggests that the album is imminent, a message she isn’t always ready to send — especially when she has yet to commit to an official release date. Still, it does stand to reason that both “WAP” and “UP” will end up appearing on the forthcoming project, whenever it does drop. 

When asked about the sound of her new musical direction, Cardi suggests that she feels caught between worlds at times. “I’m not even gonna lie, it’s a little bit challenging because it’s like, I’m young and I like trap,” she admits. “When I started rapping, if you listen to my mixtape, I like drill. My thing was always like, drill. I like drill Chicago music a lot. So that was my thing. I’m more of a trap, new era-type of rapper.”

Check out the full interview with Cardi B over at XXL right here. Exactly one year removed from the three-year anniversary of Invasion Of Privacy, are you excited to see new music from Cardi B?
