2 Chainz And Lil Wayne Tease “Long Story Short” From “Welcome 2 ColleGrove”

by

One of the most anticipated releases of 2023 is about to drop next week. On Friday, November 17, 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne are going to be releasing their sequel to their 2016 collaborative record, COLLEGROVE. It is crazy to think that it has been seven years since that album came out. But, the wait is nearly over and we are absolutely stoked to see what these two legends have to offer. It is clear that they still have plenty left in the tank. Lil Wayne has especially been on a tear as of late. He has come out with a precursor project with Tha Fix Before The VI.

Additionally, his feature game has been insane as well. “Brand New,” “Big Dog,” and “Never Die,” are just a few terrific examples of Weezy going back to his roots with his clever one-liners. Now, he and 2 Chainz are looking to bring that same energy and wordplay to Welcome 2 Collegrove. We already got “Presha” not too long ago and now we have one more coming on Friday, November 10.

Ciara And Chris Brown Tap Lil Wayne For Remix Of “How We Roll (Remix)”

by

Fort Hood, Texas R&B veteran Ciara has given us plenty of underrated hits over the years and she is still pumping them out. Back at the beginning of August, she released the lead single to her forthcoming EP, CiCi. She grabbed another infamous name in the genre, Chris Brown for “How We Roll.” Some people were a little upset with one person saying, “Ewww, why is Ciara platforming Chr*s Br*wn knowing he’s an abuser?”

Regardless of the backlash, the song still performed fairly well. On Spotify, it sits at nearly 16.5 million streams. It is also Ciara’s second-most popular song on the platform. Now, the song might do even better with a remix out now.

Believe it or not, Ciara has never been on a song with Lil Wayne. That all changes now with him being tacked on to the remix. However, Weezy is not just a name on this track. He does a solid job fitting into the vibe and theme of it all. He might just be the best rap artist to grab for a feature in 2023.

It just be me and lil’ mama, we don’t need no witness
And I hit it like a model ’cause I’ma pose in it
We get our roll on, we don’t need no phones
We be in our zone, we call it ozone

Benny The Butcher Finally Releases Lead Single “Big Dog” With Lil Wayne And The Alchemist

by

It is finally that time. Benny The Butcher has just put out his enticing lead single from his forthcoming record, EVERYBODY CAN’T GO. After months upon months of teasing a song with Lil Wayne, it is now here and the wait was certainly worth it. The anticipation began around early July of this year when a short video of Benny in the studio made the rounds on Twitter from HipHopDX.

A quick few seconds of the song were played and then Butcher cut it off. “New Orleans to Buffalo,” was all we got to hear before the Buffalo rapper stepped in to say, “That’s all ya’ll need to hear, y’all heard what the man said. I said I need Lil Wayne, y’all heard what the man said. It’s on the way.”

Listen To “Big Dog” From Benny The Butcher, Lil Wayne, And The Alchemist

Well, we now have it on our hands and every element of the track is pretty much flawless. “Big Dog” gives off a mean mugging and big boss-like feeling that Benny does so well. This time it feels amplified, especially with The Alchemist’s production and Lil Wayne’s dog-themed bars. Both legends definitely have that “Big dog, Siberian Husky flow.”

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new single from Benny The Butcher, Lil Wayne, and The Alchemist, “Big Dog?” Will this be the best song from EVERYBODY CAN’T GO? Which part of the track is your favorite? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

You can walk the dog, I still run this h*
Run from me, n****s that be barkin’ turn to hush puppies
F*** money, I throw bread out like I’m duck-huntin’
B*****s on me like fleas, but I don’t need no bugs, bunny
Tunechi and the Butcher, I shoot you, he’ll juug you
The mute be on the blooka, that’s the Uzi with the shusher

Today, Benny the Butcher – Grammy-nominated artist and founding member of Buffalo’s acclaimed independent rap collective Griselda Records –  releases his brand new single “Big Dog” via Def Jam Recordings/Roc Nation/ Agency78. “Big Dog” – featuring Lil Wayne andproduced by the Alchemist – is the prelude to EVERYBODY CAN’T GO, Benny’s forthcoming new album set to release early next year. 

Listen to “Big Dog” feat. Lil Wayne HERE.

“Big Dog” is the first new music from Benny the Butcher since Tana Talk 4 broke inside the Top 25 on the Billboard 200 album chart last year, and notably his first release for Def Jam Recordings.  Co-produced by L.A.-based the Alchemist, the mixtape spun off its opening track, “Johnny P’s Caddy” featuring J. Cole.  A #14 Hot Rap Songs hit, it was also Benny’s first single to break inside the Hot 100.

Benny The Butcher knew by the age of ten that he wanted to be involved with music. He self-released his mixtapes in the late 2000s as B.E.N.N.Y., including The Mayor’s Back and Chains Bond. In 2014, Benny’s cousin Westside Gunn founded Griselda Records, through which Benny, Conway and Westside Gunn would self-release their own projects. In 2016, Benny released his album titled My First Brick followed by the mixtape Butcher on Steroids with DJ Green Lantern in 2017. Later that year, Griselda Records signed a deal with Eminem’s Shady Records, a subsidiary of Interscope.
