Logic Reflects On His Past Throughout The Poignant New Single ‘Wake Up’

by

Logic dropped his new song, “Wake Up,” featuring Lucy Rose. The track is a glimpse of College Park, the rapper’s first album as an independent artist. Introduced by a mesmerizing electronic beat, he slowly weaves in the vocals to reach full volume — and it repeats “everyday, wake up,” similar to an alarm.

While the vocal repetition might feel a little disorienting, the transitions he still manages to make work perfectly. “Look in the mirror / Couldn’t see that man,” he rhymes at an incredibly fast pace before slowing down to take a breather.

There are also some incredibly poignant lyrics about Logic reflecting on his mindset and state of his life. “I took a ride through my city the other day / Wonder what would have happened if it all went the other way / Jump in the whip, now I reminisce / On the days when I was running round the Ave.”

Rose is introduced at the very end of the song as a voiceover of sorts. She tells the story behind what inspired the title College Park, as it was a place in 2011 where Logic drove with his friends. As she describes, it was an altering journey of a ride.

PartyNextDoor Blames His Ex And ‘Her Old Friends’ For Their Relationship’s Demise On His New Single

by

At long last, PartyNextDoor is back with new music. On his new single, “Her Old Friends,” Party looks back on a past relationship, seeing where things went wrong. He concludes that his ex and her old friends are to blame for his and her downfall.

The song is produced by OG Parker, and opens with a soft, sultry guitar. The percussion then kicks in, giving the song an angsty, bitter feel.

“F*ck all my b*tch’s old friends / Y’all let that girl f*ck anybody / She out here catching everybody ” he sings on the song’s chorus.

Over the past few years, Party has worked on projects for the likes of Drake, Diddy, and more. Though he remains relatively reclusive on social media, he is said to be more open and outward toward people he’s close with.

Last year, Uproxx spoke with OG Parker about how his other PartyNextDoor collaboration “No Fuss” came together.

“He’s literally like my brother so it’s a little different,” Parker said “He’s a very secretive person, he keeps to himself and he only f*cks with people he feels like are family.”

Check out “Her Old Friends” above.

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

Armani White Reminds Fans Why He’s ‘Goated’ In His Creative New Collab With Denzel Curry

by

On the heels of his massive hit, “Billie Eilish,” Philly-based musician Armani White has dropped his new song, “Goated” — and he brought Denzel Curry along for the ride… AKA their collab.

“Legends on 3, 2, 1, let’s go,” kicks off the track with some creative lyricism and a hypnotic beat. Even in the opening lines, his repetition of “goated” seamlessly blends into “Please don’t go there with me.”

“Poppin down Miami Beach / Pull up like Lebron with the Heat,” White rhymes in the second verse. There are even some additional name drops for what appears to be wordplay about Rihanna, Megan Thee Stallion, and Doja Cat.

“You say you love me like you love him / You lying / You know your worth / For what it’s worth, I could buy it,” White adds on the slowed-down bridge of the song. Still, it picks right back up again as Curry enters with some serious energy. From start to finish, “Goated” is just a song that will grip listeners’ attention.

The trailer for the music video finds White posing in front of photographers as he jokingly flexes his muscles. It also teases an appearance from none other than Floyd Mayweather.

Check out the video for Armani White’s “Goated” feat. Denzel Curry above.

50 Cent Weighs In On Gabrielle Union Cheating On Her First Husband: “This Is Hoe Sh*t”

by

50 Cent has certainly never been afraid to speak his mind and is no stranger to controversy.

The Queens native is expected to release new music some time this year. However, 50 also continues to make headlines for his antics and personality.

The “In Da Club” rapper recently sat down for an interview with radio personality Big Boy. During their conversation, he decides to share his thoughts on Gabrielle Union’s recent comments. She admits to cheating on her first husband and offers an explanation as to why.

“Do you think that she looks at a man, if he’s not bringing in more than her, that he should be under whatever?” he questions. “For just sayin’, I was the breadwinner, like, making more money, so now he should just go with whatever I say, until what? She goes find something she likes?” questions the “Candy Shop” rapper.

“This is really what we’re talking about, this is hoe sh*t, man. This is the mentality of someone who’s a hoe. Because [she’s] saying, ‘if you got the bigger bag, then I’ll listen. But if their bag ain’t right, I’m out.’ That’s hoe talk,” 50 continues afterwards.

Of course, the actress is responsible for stirring up some controversies due to some recent comments. While appearing on Dax Shepard‘s podcast, Armchair Expert, Union says her and her ex-husband, Chris Howard, used to cheat on each other. During the pair’s conversation, she reflects on her behavior.

“I just felt entitled to it as well. I was paying all the bills, I was working my ass off and I felt like, that’s what comes with the spoils of riches. And, like my dad before me, whoever has the most gets to do whatever the hell they want, is what I thought. It was just dysfunctional from day one,” Union explains in a clip from the chat.

Union and Howard split in 2005. The Bad Boys II actress is now married to former NBA star Dwayne Wade. They married in 2014 and their daughter, Kaavia James, was subsequently born in 2018.

Rapper Feezy Lebron Threatened By Crazy Cop

by

The video of yet another police officer threatening an unarmed Black man is going viral on social media. Although the incident occurred on New Year’s Eve, the bodycam footage has recently been circulating across Twitter.

The victim is rapper Feezy Lebron, who was simply sitting in his car on his phone while in Los Angeles. Two officers subsequently approach his car to question him. However, one is frighteningly quick to pull his gun and explicitly threaten him.

“You take off in this car, I’ma shoot you. I’m gonna make it super easy on you.. you put this car in drive, you’re getting one right to the chest,” the cop threatens while pointing his gun at Feezy. The rapper has his arms up and is evidently complying.

The pair of police were allegedly questioning him for smoking weed in his car. However, marijuana is legal in the state of California. It has been since 2016. Additionally, Feezy says he did have weed in his car, but claims he wasn’t smoking it.

“Unfortunately for you, you shouldn’t smoke so much weed in your car and we wouldn’t have to search you,” the officer attempts to explain. He goes on to inappropriately accuse the rapper of having anger issues based on his response and denial to these claims.

The L.A. rapper is continuing to speak about the incident on his Instagram account. “jus glad to have survived tht last encounter…-these guys are literally hunting us…Please continue to SHARE[.] This is the way I’m most likely to DIE..it will always end with HANDCUFFS or GUNS DRAWN,” he writes in the caption of a post on January 3.

The incident is evidently causing outage all across social media. Attorney Ben Crump took to his Twitter account to voice his thoughts on the unfortunate situation on Monday (January 9). “This is grossly UNPROFESSIONAL & concerning – on Dec. 31, a Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputy reportedly threatened to shoot an LA-based rapper during a traffic stop! A complaint has been filed, & the Sheriff’s Department is investigating the deputies’ actions and language,” he writes.

Feezy Lebron was ultimately detained and put into the police car. The Los Angeles Sheriffs Department is responsible for releasing the footage. They say they did so in order to be transparent. “One deputy displayed pepper spray, then drew his firearm and used unprofessional language, which later resulted in a complaint filed by that community member,” reads part of their statement.
