Lil Gnar & Lil Skies Connect For “Not The Same”

by

At this point, it’s fair to say that Lil will remain the most popular prefix in hip-hop history. And every so often, the stars align as two Lils come together on a single track, as Lil Gnar and Lil Skies did today. The song in question is “Not The Same,” a new single that finds both melodically-inclined rappers taking to a bouncy guitar-driven instrumental. Though it’s not entirely original territory, Gnar and Skies are practiced enough to shine, with the former setting a tone in his opening verse.

“YSL denim, gon’ spin on a mission, free all my ni**as that’s locked in that system,” he raps, his voice steeped in autotune. “Fucking that bitch, I ain’t never gon’ kiss her.” Skies picks up where he left off, distancing himself of emotional on the tireless pursuit for the bag. “She wanna go out on a date, I don’t do no dating,” he raps, his flow picking up steam. “European drip to the floor, money make lil’ shorty touch her toes / All this money barely fit a roll, all this money make her take her clothes off.” 

Be sure to check out “Not The Same” now, and sound off in the comments if you’re enjoying this direction from Lil Gnar. 

QUOTABLE LYRICS

I’m in a Ghost, I’m in a Wraith, who wanna come race me?
She wanna go out on a date, I don’t do no dating
Uh, European drip to the floor, money make lil’ shorty touch her toes
All this money barely fit a roll, all this money make her take her clothes off

Jasiah Is Ready For “War” On His Electrifying New Album

by

Last spring, Jasiah kicked off the rollout to his highly-anticipated follow up to 2019’s Jasiah I Am by unleashing the gnarly screamo-rap smash “Break Shit.” A year later, the Dayton, Ohion native has finally returned with his latest album, titled War.

War is a seven-track project that features high-octane guest contributions from artists such as Pouya, Rico Nasty, TheHxliday, and Nascar Aloe. Clocking in at a runtime of approximately 16 minutes, Jasiah’s electrifying project is a welcomed dose of energy. In addition the incredible guest appearances, the beat selection on War is also worthy of praise, from the ugly — yet thumping — production on “Spit” to the eclectic video game-style production on “Unintelligible.” Even with four of the seven songs being previously shared by the “Shenanigans” artist over the past year, War is still one of the most refreshing alternative rap releases to drop this year.

If you were a fan of xxxtentacion’s hype and screamo output, then you should definitely give Jasiah’s new album a listen. Check it out below and let us know what you think. 

Tracklist:

1. Zit (feat. Pouya)
2. Break Shit
3. In N Out (feat. TheHxliday & Rico Nasty)
4. Spit
5. Surfs Up
6. Unintelligible (feat. nascar aloe)
7. Crisis

Trump Sued By Two U.S. Capitol Officers Over Deadly Riots: Report

by

Former POTUS Donald Trump finally concluded his tumultuous four-year term in the Oval Office in January, not without an equally disastrous grand finale. Egregious supporters of the disgraced president stormed into the Capitol building days before President Biden was set to take office on January 6th in an attempt to stop the transfer of power from happening. Trump was impeached and then subsequently acquitted for the deadly incident, but it seems like the socialite may have another lawsuit on his plate.

According to legal documents obtained by Bloomberg, Trump has been served a lawsuit by two U.S. Capitol officers who suffered multiple injuries while defending the building from the attack on January 6th. Similar to the case made by the House against Trump, plaintiffs James Blassingame and Sidney Hemby are arguing that Trump played a role in inciting the violent mob attack that left five dead.

The two officers were on duty when the ‘Stop the Steal’ pro-Trump protest was taking place in D.C., a rally in which former POTUS Trump encouraged his overzealous supporters to go to the Capitol to protest President Biden’s electoral win. The riot followed shortly thereafter.

“… You’ll never take back our country with weakness. You have to show strength and you have to be strong,” Trump said at the time. “We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been lawfully slated, lawfully slated. I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

In the lawsuit, Blassingame claims he, “is haunted by the memory of being attacked, and of the sensory impacts – the sights, sounds, smells and even tastes of the attack remain close to the surface. He experiences guilt of being unable to help his colleagues who were simultaneously being attacked; and of surviving where other colleagues did not.”

“The carefully orchestrated series of events that unfolded at the Save America rally and the storming of the Capitol was no accident or coincidence,” the lawsuit reads. “It was the intended and foreseeable culmination of a carefully coordinated campaign to interfere with the legal process required to confirm the tally of votes cast in the Electoral College.” 

Blassingame and Hemby are seeking monetary damages. While Trump was able to escape prosecution for the riots from the federal government, there’s no telling if he’ll be as successful this time around.

Chiiild Teams Up With Mahalia On The Lush New Single “Awake”

by

Last week, Montreal-based vocalist, bassist, keyboardist, and songwriter Chiiild announced his forthcoming debut album Hope For Sale. To coincide with the announcement, the Canadian multihyphenate also dropped the vivid, kaleidoscopic track “Sleepwalking,” the first single from his upcoming record. The self-reflective track about reclaiming one’s agency and individuality really whet listeners’ voracious appetite for Hope For Sale, and now Chiiild is following up the impressive single with a new song, titled “Awake.”

Chiiild’s latest single is a globe-spanning track that features Jamaican-British singer-songwriter Mahalia, marking the first official collaboration between the two artists. The enchanting song finds both singers waxing poetic about wanting to get their significant other into the bedroom for — well, you know. About halfway through the track, “Awake” unfolds and expands into a gorgeous string-accentuated soundscape, adding to its already lush sonic aesthetic, and although Chiiild’s latest single clocks in at just under a four-minute runtime, its infectious groove will definitely have you starting the song over again and again.

Check out Chiiild and Mahalia’s collaboration below.

Quotable Lyrics

Time slows down when you pull up to the venue (Uh)
Michelin star crib and my body’s on the menu
VIP treatment, giving you the chef’s special
‘Cause I still get butterflies daily, like the first day that I met you

Isaiah Thomas Signs With The Pelicans

by

Isaiah Thomas was in the NBA last season and he got to spend some time with the Washington Wizards before being traded. Thomas was eventually waived and since that time, he hasn’t been able to find a new team to play with. Thomas is a point guard who still has a lot of gas left in the tank and fans were wondering when he would be able to get back on the court.

Well, with the New Orleans Pelicans trading JJ Redick, they have been in need of some depth in the backcourt and according to Shams Charania of The Athletic, they decided to sign Thomas to a 10-day contract. 

While 10-day contracts don’t guarantee you playing time or a commitment, they do offer players an opportunity to show what they can do. If Thomas can show the Pelicans that he means business, there is a good chance they will keep him around until the end of the season, which is a proposition that makes everyone happy.

Thomas has been active on Twitter over these last few months and it’s been clear that he is eager to get back on the court and prove his worth. Hopefully, he can make the most of this opportunity and stick around until the end of the year.
