Lil Baby & Lil Durk’s Collab Album Could Be Near Completion

Lil Baby and Lil Durk have been witnessing tons of success separately but the trap will be rejoicing once they release their joint project. Somehow, a fan request on Twitter ultimately propelled the idea of the two extending their working relationship for a collab project. The pair have been heavily teasing its arrival, though they’ve kept mum on when we could expect it to be released.

It appears that the project might be on its way in time for the summer. A photo from their studio session emerged earlier today revealing that the two are at the final stages of the project. They are seemingly plotting on who to add to the project in terms of features but the photo also revealed that we’ll likely be getting a lengthy project from the two with a total of 20 songs. There’s a good chance that this will include a few solo cuts, as well.

Over the past few weeks, Durk’s been building the anticipation for its release with several previews of the project. None of them have really offered a solid insight into what we could expect but there’s certainly going to have its fair share of bangers as well as emotional efforts.

Check out the post below. Who do you think Lil Baby and Lil Durk should have on their project? 

Sean Leon Shares New Project “God’s Algorithm (beta)”

It’s been a few years since Toronto’s Sean Leon shared a new project. It was in 2018 that he made a declaration on Sean Leon (The Death Of; a project that marked the end of an era. He’s continued to unleash new singles since that album dropped such as “SORRY!” and “Splash!” ft. Adrian Dey, Devontée, G Milla, Teddy Fantum, and Ty Senoj. 

It seems that on Monday, Sean Leon introduced a brand new era with the release of God’s Algorithm (beta). The Toronto artist’s latest body of work is only four-songs in total but it is part of “an immersive experience and platform.”

“We are developing a world around ‘Maui’ that you can touch, hear and see — an ongoing series of commentaries on our connection to art in a digital world — where big tech can play God and Algorithms can decide our fate,” he wrote on IG yesterday shortly before releasing his EP. 

Snoop Dogg Announces New Album

Earlier this month, rap legend Snoop Dogg released his latest single “C.E.O.” and it looks like the song is part of a larger rollout for the Doggfather, who announced his new album on Monday.

Coming through with a major announcement on his popular social media pages, Snoop Dogg revealed the name of his upcoming album, as well as his next single’s release date. “NEW SINGLE ALERT OFF NEW ALBUM ‘From Tha Streets 2 Tha Suites,'” announced Snoop, sharing the cover artwork for “Roaches In My Ashtray”. Judging from the title, the song will unpack Snoop’s well-documented love of marijuana. The single will be released alongside a music video on Friday, April 2.

This upcoming full-length release follows Snoop’s 2019 album I Wanna Thank Me, which he dropped after receiving his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The project featured guest appearances from Chris Brown, Wiz Khalifa, YG, Russ, and plenty of others. Who do you want to see on the tracklist for From Tha Streets 2 Tha Suites?

According to The Verge, Spotify has now acquired Betty Labs, the company that’s responsible for Locker Room — a live sports audio app. Though the streaming service hasn’t disclosed how much they paid, the decision to bring this feature to their platform is meant to bring artists closer to their audience. This can be for discussions, performances, or even album premieres.

The feature won’t solely be available to Spotify-approved curators but anyone who would like to host a chat. It makes this feature now makes Spotify in direct competition to Clubhouse but also apps like Twitter Spaces and Discord. There’s also a possibility that curators may also be able to monetize on these audio rooms.

“@saw Soundtrack By Me,” wrote the well-respected rapper on Instagram, sharing the trailer. The upcoming film is set to release May 14, coming from the book of Saw. If you’ve seen any of the horrifying previous installments, you should already know what kind of time Jigsaw will be on for Spiral.

A Video Of Quavo And Saweetie Having A Fight In An Elevator Has Surfaced

Last week, fans of the Quavo and Saweetie couple were devastated to learn that the pair had broken up. Although both artists shared claims that the other was at fault, many fans speculated that Quavo’s infidelity was the reason behind the split. However, today, TMZ surfaced a new video that shows the two had a lot more problems than it appeared on the surface.

In the video, Quavo and Saweetie have an altercation in an elevator, caught by the elevator’s security camera. Saweetie takes a swing at Quavo, and the two scuffle over an orange suitcase with Quavo ultimately grabbing Saweetie and flinging her to the floor of the elevator. There is no sound, so we can’t hear what the two say to each other, but there’s some discussion before Saweetie gets up and walks past Quavo, who stays behind after propping open the door with the suitcase.

The former couple was a fan favorite before their breakup, with the story of Quavo’s DM icebreaker becoming a meme and sweet, behind-the-scenes stories filtering into their interviews. Fans fawned over the couple’s luxurious gifts to each other, but in her tweet confirming their breakup, Saweetie admitted that gifts weren’t enough to “band aid scars.” While those scars were initially thought to be emotional, this new revelation prompts the question of whether some were physical as well.

You can watch the video on TMZ.

Saweetie is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
