2KBaby Releases Weezy-Inspired Mixtape, “Sorry 4 The Hate”

by

Louisville rapper 2KBaby is back with a new mixtape, Sorry 4 The Hate. Moreover, it’s inspired by Lil Wayne’s classic mixtape Sorry 4 the Wait, on which he rapped over popular beats before Tha Carter IV. Also, it even has the same style of cover art and color pallet. Therefore, that’s exactly what the Kentucky native delivers on this mixtape. His last single “Haunt Me” with Kofi displayed his melodic sensibilities, but he’s not afraid to go hard here, too.

“I’m just tryn go down as of the GOATSs in this s**t,” 2KBaby wrote via Instagram. “[Lil Wayne] been inspiring n***as as long as I can remember & at the same time paving the way for artists to do a lot of the s**t we do today. “Sorry 4 the Wait” was the first Remixtape I got put on 2 & “Sorry 4 the Wait II” was the last. So I thought I’d try to make my own Remixtape of the hottest 2022 songs on the chart rn. Until I see it ain’t no artist in the game tht can fwm on this tip.”

Meanwhile, given his criticism of hits like “pushin p,” it’s unsurprising to see 2KBaby looking for some smoke. Still, he backs it up, with creative reinventions of everything from Metro Boomin to Taylor Swift. Moreover, his voice remains dynamic and charismatic, with passionate wails and creative inflections. Still, he spits bars over beats from Yeat, Drake & 21 Savage, and Jack Harlow.

2G.Kaash Taps Kodak Black For “Pushin For Love”

by

2G.Kaash just recruited Kodak Black for a new single titled “Pushin for Love,” and they demonstrate great chemistry. Yak signed the Dallas, Texas rapper last February to his Sniper Gang label, in partnership with Atlantic Records. While the Florida rapper has been criticized for signing “crash dummies” to his label, we hope that such accusations don’t turn true for Kaash. It would be a waste of the talent and chemistry on display on this track.

Previously, Kaash released “Walk Down” when he beat a murder charge in May of last year. Moreover, the controversy around his case tacked with new music grew some buzz around his profile. Since then, he’s kept it low-key with a couple of singles and features. Now, it seems he’s gearing up for bigger and better things with his label boss by his side.

However, that’s not to say that Kaash doesn’t come through with a lot of personality, character, and identity on this track. In fact, his passionate singing and introspective lyrics might remind listeners of some of Juice WRLD’s material. Although the vocal tones are similar, the production is more inspired by the melodic, emotive street rap making waves today. Also, it’s a space that Kodak Black himself does very well in on the single, in contrast to recent verses. Moreover, songs like Doodie Loo’s murderous “ISTG, Pt. 2” pair nicely with “Pushin for Love” to show Yak’s range.

Quotable Lyrics

A’s gone, I feel his blood on my hand, I had my
Hand on his blood, some s**t you wouldn’t understand,
I feel the chaos around me, some s**t never end,
I get high in the sky and I hope this plane never land
