Back with another hit, Lil Tecca has dropped his new single, “Blessing.” On his punchy new synth-and-bass-heavy track, Tecca is searching for people on his level — both romantically and within his circle.
“I’m the blessing, so who ’bout to bless me now? / She wan’ cuff and arrest me now,” Tecca raps on the song’s chorus.
He continues, saying, “All that extra sh*t really gon’ stress me out / Put some Chrome on my chest piece now.”
On the song’s final verse, he examines the loyalty of some of the people around him, and makes note of lessons he’s learned over the years.
“Had to learn that some people can’t sit with us / Never lied when I said that you let me down / Never lied when you let me down / Gossipin’, then you can’t be ’round,” he raps.
Skilled with his pen, as well as Auto-Tune effects, Tecca has several hits under his belt. While one might imagine he faces a lot of pressure to follow up his smashes with even more smashes, Tecca revealed in an interview with XXL that the pressure all went away after the release of his 2019 hit, “Ransom.”
“You get the most pressure when you do this for your first time ’cause everyone is looking at you like, ‘Can he do it again?’ But even before I had “Ransom,” I already been dropped buzzing songs… And it’s two years later now, so how can I still feel pressure from two years ago, a year ago? I’m doing me,” he said. “If I let anything give me pressure, I’m just letting a bunch of random people eat me up on some brainwashing shit. That’s dead.”

This week had so much new music that we needed to drop a caveat: In more ways than one, it is great ensuring there is something for everyone, no matter the mood you’re in. Get that cold drink, chill by that pool, whip out those AirPods, and set it to the right volume to any […]

Last year, Lil Wayne placed his 2009 mixtape No Ceilings on streaming services like Apple Music and Spotify. While the move certainly excited many of his fans, they were quickly disappointed as it was missing several tracks. The reason could be that the rapper and his teams were unable to clear samples for certain songs. More recently, Wayne announced that his 2011 mixtape Sorry 4 The Wait would be placed on streaming services, which people hoped would appear in its original form. That was almost what happened.
Sorry 4 The Wait is now available to enjoy on streaming platforms, but there are some minor changes. For example, many of the song titles have been altered. Some of the changes include “Rollin’” now being titled “Tunechi’s Rollin,’” “Throwed Off” being “Throwed,” “Marvin’s Room” being “Tuenchi’s Room,” and “Gucci Gucci” being “One Big Room.” Despite these alterations, nothing about the song’s musical aspect has changed. Additionally, Wayne added four new songs to the mixtape, two of them featuring Lil Tecca and Young Money artist Allan Cubas, respectively.
Wayne also appears on “Sinister” from Cordae’s new album From A Birds Eye View, which comes after a week after he appeared beside The Weeknd on “I Heard You Were Married” from Dawn FM.
Sorry 4 The Wait is out now via Young Money Records. Get it here.

There’s a lot of fun to be had when you get people out of their comfort zones for in-depth interviews — just check out Hot Ones, where Sean Evans’ invincible tongue allows him to get meme-worthy responses out of guests as they attempt to down the spiciest wings while answering even spicier questions (sorry, it’s such a good tagline). A new show coming out next week will attempt to do something similar. Chillin Island, which will air on HBO on December 17, will see rappers and other musicians leaving behind the hustle and bustle of their urban origins for the peace and quiet of nature.
Of course, the other key to getting good responses is making folks feel comfortable while they’re way out of their comfort zones, so to that end, Chillin Island is pairing these rappers with members of their own fraternity: New York rappers Despot, Lakutis, and former Das Racist member Dap (aka Dapwell). They’ll trek to deserts, swamps, and other havens to commune with nature and get in touch with human nature.
Their guests will include a truly fascinating array of artists including Coi Leray, Gunna, Killer Mike, Lil Tecca, Lil Yachty, Rosalía, Ski Mask the Slump God, Young Thug, and Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koening.
You can watch Chillin Island on HBO on 12/17 at 10:30 pm and stream on HBO Max. Check out the trailer above.
