Lil Baby And Future Celebrate Their Money-Making Abilities With Rvssian On ‘M&M’

When it comes to rappers in Atlanta, Lil Baby and Future are certainly at the top of the scene. Lil Baby’s success came within the past few years thanks to his success with projects like Harder Than Ever and My Turn as well as collaborations with the likes of Drake, Gunna, Young Thug, and Lil Durk. Future’s success, on the other hand, goes back more than a decade and it’s made him more than worthy of a place on the Mt. Rushmore of Atlanta’s rap scene. With that being said, their respective accomplishments are worth celebrating on their new single with Rvssian.

Rvssian’s new single “M&M” is all about making money and the three rappers’ ability to do it in a short amount of time. “I checked my bank account, it was negative / I checked again, I had me some M&Ms,” Baby raps on the song while Future adds, “In the streets, Pluto bigger than Jigga / Got racks to my ear — Nah, I can’t hear you.”

The new track is the latest in a string of features that Lil Baby has provided in recent weeks. They include work with Roddy Ricch on “Moved To Miami” and upstart rapper Nardo Wick on “Me Or Sum,” which also features Future. On the flip side, “M&M” comes after Future invited Ye on stage to perform with him at Los Angeles’ Rolling Loud.

You can press play on “M&M” in the video above.

Roddy Ricch And Lil Baby Are Unapologetic About Their Boss Statuses On ‘Moved To Miami’

If there’s one thing we’ve learned about Roddy Ricch as an artist, it’s that he’s not one to rush the process in order to release music. It’s been two years since we received a project from the Compton native, with his last effort being his chart-topping debut Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial. Thankfully, the wait for a new project from Roddy is over as he’s back in action with his sophomore album, Live Life Fast. It presents 18 songs and features from some of the industry’s most talented names including Lil Baby who stands beside him on “Moved To Miami.”

The song is a bass-heavy number that sees both rappers speaking about the things in their lives that make them bosses. From their luxury cars to their ability to take care of familiar, Roddy and Lil Baby and relentless with the flexing. In addition to Lil Baby, Live Life Fast also features guest appearances from 21 Savage, Alex Isley, Bibi Bourelly, Fivio Foreign, Future, Gunna, Jamie Foxx, Kodak Black, Takeoff, and Ty Dolla Sign.

Roddy’s collaboration with Lil Baby also arrives after he earned the first diamond single of his career with “The Box.” Back in 2020, the song spent eleven weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 in what was one of the more dominating chart performances by a track in recent history.

You can listen to “Moved To Miami” in the video above.

Roddy Ricch Unveils The Tracklist For His Sophomore Album, ‘Live Life Fast’

After more than two years, Roddy Ricch is finally delivering a new album with his upcoming project Live Life Fast. It’s an effort that will hopefully match the success of his debut album Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial. The 2019 project spent multiple weeks at No. 1 while also carrying a song, “The Box,” that tallied eleven weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100. Altogether, it’s a high bar that the Compton native will hopefully reach again. Just hours before he releases the project, Roddy returns to unveil its complete tracklist.

Through 18 songs, listeners will catch appearances from 21 Savage, Alex Isley, Bibi Bourelly, Fivio Foreign, Gunna, Jamie Foxx, Kodak Black, Takeoff, and Ty Dolla Sign. These are all guest appearances that Roddy previously revealed, but he did so without sharing the album’s complete tracklist until today. Now, thanks to an update to the album’s pre-save page on Apple Music, we’ve received full song titles in addition to knowing when these artists will appear beside Roddy throughout the album.

Most of the collaborations on Live Life Fast feature one guest except on two occasions: “Hibachi,” which places Kodak Black and 21 Savage with Roddy, and “Slow It Down,” which finds Ty Dolla Sign and Alex Isley working some magic together.
