Ransom Lives Up To Drake’s Challenge, Freestyles Over “Evil Ways” Instrumental

Veteran Brooklyn rapper, Ransom, has been keeping busy throughout the year. In 2023, he has put out three short projects. What is interesting, is that he treated his loyal fans to a double dosage. On July 4, he dropped two of his efforts, Directors Cut 4 and Year One.

Now, he is back with a brand-new freestyle that is not available on your typical streaming platforms. You can find it on YouTube, or you can click the link down below. It is titled “Evil Ways FREESTYLE” and it runs for two minutes and 43 seconds. As soon as you start listening to it, you will instantly recognize the beat, as it is a very recent one.

Listen To “Evil Ways FREESTYLE” By Ransom

The title might also be a dead giveaway as well. If you guessed that it was Drake and J. Cole’s bonus cut from For All The Dogs Scary Hours Edition, you would be correct. In addition to that deluxe version, Drake also released just the instrumentals for the extra songs. He partially did this, so that he could challenge other rappers to tackle the beats.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new single, “Evil Ways FREESTYLE,” by Ransom? Do you think anyone can top his performance on this beat, why or why not?

Quotable Lyrics:

Them cute little sixteens probably only get Josh Giddey
You know him from a dark city sharks bit me
Think I’m hypnotized ’cause I ain’t been in an SUV since we lost Biggie
I still got scars with me that’s the devil’s rent benevolent
I know the smell of dead bodies but still I’m heaven sent
These rappers blowing hot air but was never meant to vent

Drake Announces “Scary Hours 3” Instrumentals, Challenges Other Artists To Rap Over Them

Last week, Drake returned from his surprisingly short “hiatus” from dropping new music. He did so to surprise drop his new Scary Hours 3 EP which added six new songs to his For All The Dogs album from last month. Drake himself spends much of the time on the songs dissing other artists and media figures. He takes shots at familiar foes like Pusha T and Joe Budden while also making some more surprising callouts aimed at Kanye West and 6ix9ine.

Now, Drake is offering other artists the chance to show off their own abilities over his instrumentals. He took to Instagram to announce that versions of the songs with no vocals were coming out soon and issued a challenge to other artists to try their hand at the songs. “Dropping the instrumentals this week I wanna hear who’s barring up” Drizzy captioned his Instagram announcement. It’s unclear when exactly the instrumental will arrive but when it does he’s clearly expecting to hear some talented artists to record their own versions of them. Check out the full announcement below.

Drake Wants To Hear Who’s “Barring Up”

The new songs from Scary Hours 3 being attached to the end of For All The Dogs will give the album a chance to return to the top spot on the Billboard 200. It’s expected to land somewhere in the 110k-130k range on next week’s chart. The album’s primary competitor for the top spot is, surprisingly, Dolly Parton’s collaboration-packed new album Rockstar. Parton is seeking her first ever number one album on the Billboard 200.

One of Drake’s biggest critics has been pretty quiet on Scary Hours 3. After being pretty vocal in his critiques of For All The Dogs, Joe Budden simply responded with “I have absolutely nothing to say” when asked about Scary Hours. What do you think of Drake sharing the instrumentals from his new EP and challenging other artists to rap over them? Who do you want to hear over songs from the project? Let us know in the comment section below.

Andre 3000 Shares Highly-Anticipated Project “New Blue Sun”

In a moment that has hip-hop enthusiasts rejoicing worldwide, Andre 3000 drops his highly anticipated album New Blue Sun. Earlier this week, Andre 3000 surprised fans by announcing his long-awaited solo debut album. Almost two decades have passed since OutKast’s last album, leaving fans hungry for new material from one of the genre’s most iconic figures. The revelation has sparked a wave of excitement, as listeners now get to delve into a groundbreaking addition to Andre 3000’s already illustrious career.

It’s almost surreal that the world hasn’t witnessed a solo project from the acclaimed rapper in all these years. While Andre 3000 has kept himself in the musical landscape with a handful of notable features, the prospect of a solo album seemed like a distant dream.

Stream “New Blue Sun” By Andre 3000

The title, New Blue Sun, also speaks to the departure from the familiar, signaling a new chapter in Andre 3000’s artistic journey. In a departure from the conventional hip-hop norms, the album consists of an 87-minute sonic experience that defies expectations. This unique project deliberately does not include traditional rap bars. And the packaging boldly warns listeners with a succinct, “Warning: no bars.” According to NPR, André’s foray into this instrumental realm goes beyond the absence of vocals, as he immerses himself in a diverse array of flutes.

The album features a captivating showcase of his musical versatility, with André skillfully playing instruments ranging from contrabass flute to Mayan flutes and bamboo flutes, alongside other digital wind instruments. This departure from the lyrical and rhythmic elements typically associated with hip-hop highlights André 3000’s innovative approach. It’s an immersive journey where the absence of traditional bars doesn’t diminish the richness of the sonic landscape he meticulously crafts. Did you get a chance to check out the album yet?
