RMR And Tyla Yaweh Detail The Perfect ‘Vibes’ For Their Everyday Lives

by

It may not feel like it, but it was more than a year ago that RMR broke the internet with his juxtaposing video for “Rascal,” the lead single off his 2020 project, Druging Dealing Is A Lost Art. Now, RMR is well-established as an artist with the hope that his second full-length project is close to arriving. Until that’s confirmed fans can enjoy the singer’s latest release, “Vibes,” a track that puts him beside Tyla Yaweh. The laid-back track finds the pair revealing what an ideal day in their lives looks like.

“Politicking in Miami, right after New York,” RMR sings. “She gon’ suck me up for breakfast / Eat me after brunch, meet me after lunch.” Later on, Yaweh submits a verse that finds him enjoying some of his own fun while promising to protect RMR from harm at all costs.

The collaboration comes after RMR kicked off the year with his 4th Quarter Medley, a four-track effort that included covers of Matchbox Twenty’s ’90s hit “3 AM” (titled “The Wishing Hour”) and Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later” (titled “That Was Therapeutic). Tyla Yaweh, on the other hand, hasn’t shared a project since 2019, but he saw his stock rise last year thanks to collaborations with Wiz Khalifa, Post Malone, and more.

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie And Lil Durk Beg To See Their Lovers For ’24 Hours’

by

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie is known for his ability to deliver tracks that are perfect for the club as well as efforts that are softer and a bit more intimate. Thanks to some help from Lil Durk, A Boogie arrives with another example of the latter with his new track, “24 Hours.” The melodic effort finds the two rappers pleading to see their lovers for 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The brief moments they normally share together are not enough to satisfy their cravings as their constant presence is the only thing that will keep the pair happy.

The new song is the latest in a string of releases from A Boogie after he stayed fairly quiet following the release of his last album, Artist 2.0 in 2020. Last week he teamed up with Rowdy Rebel for a cross-borough connection on their “9 Bridge” collaboration. In addition that, he also remixed Mooski’s viral track, “Track Star,” for fans to enjoy. As for Lil Durk, the Chicago rapper is readying Voice Of The Heroes, his joint project with Lil Baby, for a release in the coming weeks.

While it’s been a while since the two rappers last collaborated, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie And Lil Durk could both be found on DJ Khaled’s latest album, Khaled Khaled. The former appeared on “This Is My Year” with Big Sean, Puff Daddy, and Rick Ross while the latter starred with Lil Baby on “Every Chance I Get.”

42 Dugg And Future Flaunt Their Cash And Jewels In The Flashy ‘Maybach’ Video

by

42 Dugg’s trek towards fame started after a game of shooting dice with Lil Baby, whose 4PF imprint later become the home of the rising rapper. Dugg, who hails from Detroit, has released multiple projects since 2018, but his breakout moment waited until 2020 when he featured alongside Baby on “We Paid,” a track that was one of the more popular hip-hop releases in 2020. More than a year after that track, Dugg is looking for the same success, this time with his newly-released project, Free Dem Boyz, which arrives with a new video that pairs the Detroit native with Future.

The new visual is for the duo’s first collaboration, “Maybach,” and it finds the pair stunting in luxury cars with large sums of cash in their hands. The track is also catching attention from fans for a diss Future delivers to his ex-flame Lori Harvey, who is the stepdaughter of comedian Family Feud host Steve Harvey. “Tell Steve Harvey I don’t want her,” he raps on multiple occasions on the song. A snippet of the track that leaked the night before the track’s release revealed the shot at Lori and Steve may have responded to the song with a tweet of his own. “Sometimes distancing is the best response,” he wrote. “You don’t have to return or respond to negative energy. Just remove yourself.”

As for Free Dem Boyz, the project comes with a total of 19 songs and features from Lil Durk, Roddy Ricch, EST Gee, Rowdy Rebel, and Fivio Foreign.

Lil Baby And Kirk Franklin Join Forces For A Motivational ‘Space Jam’ Banger, ‘We Win’

by

Lil Baby is setting himself up for a pretty strong 2021 and while he’s yet to share a project with the world this year, the Atlanta native has delivered a few songs that prove the rapper’s success will only continue. Following efforts like “Real As It Gets” with EST Gee and “On Me” as well as a number of collaborations with the likes of Russ, Lil Durk, Drake, and more, Lil Baby’s latest release is one fans did not ever expect. The rapper joined forces with Kirk Franklin for their new track, “We Win,” which will appear on the soundtrack for the highly-anticipated movie, Space Jam: A New Legacy.

Now, if it’s hard to imagine what a song with Baby and Franklin sounds like, allow me to twist your mind a bit more and add that the new effort is supported by production by Just Blaze. For what it’s worth, the trio definitely makes it work in providing a motivational banger that will surely be useful for Space Jam: A New Legacy. The triumphant track finds Baby detailing his harsh past and how he overcame it to find success today.

The new song arrives after Lil Baby joined DJ Khaled, Roddy Ricch, and Bryson Tiller in the video for their Khaled Khaled track, “Body In Motion.” As for what’s next, Baby and Lil Durk are set to release their Voice Of The Heroes joint project in the coming weeks. The effort was set to be released on May 28, but the duo opted to delay it out of respect for DMX, whose posthumous album, Exodus arrives on the same day.

City Girls Submit Their Song Of The Summer Entry With The Club-Ready ‘Twerkulator’

by

There’s been talk going around on social media about the lack of “song of the summer” entries this year. For what it’s worth, this is most likely because of the slowly reopening world and artists choosing to hold on to potential entries for the perfect moment, whenever that might be. However, the shutdown that lasted more than fifteen months is slowly coming to an official end and the hottest days of summer are just around the corner. With that being said, it seems like City Girls have arrived with a surefire summer anthem thanks to their newly-released track “Twerkulator.”

The track is one that fans of the rap duo have requested for quite some time. The single was originally supposed to appear on the duo’s last album, City On Lock, but the project was leaked before City Girls could complete and promote it as they would’ve liked. A snippet of the song arrived eventually on social media earlier this year and it quickly made supporters excited for its release.

Unfortunately, Yung Miami revealed “Twerkulator,” which samples Afrika Bambaataa and Soulsonic Force’s “Planet Rock,” would not be released because the duo failed to attain a sample clearance. This served as disappointing news for many but less than two months later, City Girls returned with a fantastic announcement earlier this week as they revealed the track would arrive in just a few days.

Its uptempo production sits right in the pocket that houses some of the City Girls’ best work.

Now that the dust has settled, Lil Nas is back with his latest single, “Sun Goes Down.”

Lil Nas’ new track comes a few months after he shared a string of TikTok videos that detailed his bouts with depression and suicidal thoughts.

“During college I was depressed, had no friends and…. my grandmother passed. I started going to the doctor a lot in fear that I would die soon… hypochondria,” he said in one of the videos. Later on he revealed, “I got news that my mom wasn’t doing so well in rehab with her addiction. Also me and my boyfriend broke up. During this time old town road was still killing it while I was… spiraling. I found myself in a hotel room contemplating ending it all. But I didn’t.”

Polo G landed his first No. 1 record with “Rapstar,” a track that spent two consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100. He also revealed that his upcoming album would be titled Hall Of Fame, and before it arrives, the rapper calls on another artist that many hold to a high regard for his latest single, “Gang Gang.”

Altogether. the two rappers use the song to detail their undeniable fame, flaunt their expensive cars, and prove that their street credibility is intact and far from something that can be questioned. The new effort also arrives with a video that sees Polo G treating himself and a number of women to a nice dinner before joining Lil Wayne for an energetic house party.

Aside from “Rapstar,” Polo G has done a great job building anticipation for his next album, Hall Of Fame. The other single that fans can expect to hear on the album, “GNF (OKOKOK)” was another great example of what the rapper has to offer on the project. Elsewhere, guest appearances with the likes of Rod Wave, Lil Tjay, Fivio Foreign, and more prove the Chicagoan has certainly improved his craft ahead of the release of Hall Of Fame.

by

Multitalented act Terry Presume arrives with a brand new visual for his latest track, “ZaZa And Some Runtz.” The video finds the Nashville-based singer on the other side of the country, in Los Angeles, for the surreal new effort. It also captures how Presume perceives his world when he’s heads above the clouds thanks to some help from an evergreen substance.

Presume, who also doubles as a rapper and a producer, shows his versatility and ability to master an array of different songs with the new single and video which is directed by Spencer Ford, who has also done work with Brockhampton, Jawny and St. Felix.

Presume’s start in music began as a child with his single mother in their Naples, FL home. There, the singer enjoyed music from the likes of 50 Cent, Eminem, and a bunch of classic R&B records. At the age of eight, he began writing poems and three years later he taught himself how to write and produce music.

“I can see you wanted more, the words appear on your face,” he raps. “I’m always up, you always down now we in two different states.”

Lil Peep’s Mother Said She’s Had Two Strokes In The Lawsuit Over Her Son’s Wrongful Death

This fall will mark three years since Lil Peep tragically died from a drug overdose while on his tour bus prior to a Tuscon, AZ show. A resulting toxicology report labeled his cause of death as an accidental overdose due to a mix of the pain medication, fentanyl and Xanax. Marijuana, cocaine, the painkiller Tramadol, and a number of opioids were also found in his system. At the end of 2019, the late rapper’s mother sued his management team and alleged that they encouraged his drug use. One example includes one of Peep’s managers gifting Peep with a bottle of pills during his 2017 Peep The Show.

The lawsuit process has taken a toll on Peep’s mother, Liza Womack. According to Pitchfork, Womack revealed she’s suffered two strokes since her son passed away. “I’ve had two strokes, and I am not going to die until I take care of this matter,” she said. “I’m going to live. I have a mission.”

Womack also shared how she remembers her son and continues the fight for his justice.

“There’s one woman who is a helicopter pilot, a photographer, and also an artist, and I asked her if I could buy her painting — it wasn’t even for sale — and she would not take any money,” she said. “She had an art dealer send it to me. We texted a little bit, and I told her I talk to it. I don’t believe in the afterlife, which is one reason why this was so horribly painful, because he’s gone, he’s gone.” Womack added, “But I told her I do talk to the painting and I tell him, ‘Gussie, I got ya.’ I am not stopping. I’m not giving up, ever.”

Fousheé Transforms Depeche Mode’s ‘Enjoy The Silence’ Into A Sultry R&B Tune

by

Fousheé’s music has been turning heads ever since a sample of her song, which later became “Deep End,” blew up on TikTok. In the months following, Fousheé remained hyper-focused on her artistry, releasing more tunes and even teaming up with Lil Wayne for a track. Now, the singer has another exciting project on the horizon — a campaign video for H&M’s summer clothing line.

Fousheé’s music is the soundtrack for a video to the clothing company’s new campaign, Find The Strength In Silence. It’s a cover of Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy The Silence,” which she transformed from a synth-heavy anthem into a more sultry R&B tune. In press materials for the campaign’s accompanying film, which was shot in LA, it’s described as standing “for the women who face public opinions daily.”

The project follows an exciting accomplishment for the singer. After “Deep End” went viral on TikTok, the song began racking up streams. Thanks to its viral success, the song achieved a peak at No. 10 on Billboard‘s Alternative Airplay chart after hovering on the chart for sixteen weeks. The new spot marked the first time a Black woman occupied the chart’s top ten in 32 years. The last person to achieve the feat was Tracy Chapman for the song “Crossroads,” which hit the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart’s top ten in 1989.
