mixtape

SOB x RBE left its imprint on the West Coast between 2017-2019 but ultimately, the members have gone on to focus on their solo careers. Unfortunately, some of them have also been dealing with their fair share of legal trouble. Thankfully, that hasn’t deterred them completely from delivering music consistently. DaBoii’s recent stint on house arrest proved to be a productive time for the rapper and now, he’s unveiled a brand new project to show for it titled House Arrest. The project is 10 songs in total with features from OMB Peezy, Remble, ALLBLACK, Cash Kid, and Kylah Shanae.

House Arrest marks DaBoii’s second project of the year after teaming up with Slimmy B of SOB x RBE for their collaborative project, Still Gangin in August.

Not only did Trippie Redd land a feature on D. Savage’s new BPL album this weekend, but he also showed up on KA$HDAMI’s HYPERNOVA. The 22-year-old dropped off verses on “IDC” and “Head$hot!,” respectively, earning him the only other vocal credit on the second project.

The other ten tracks on HYPERNOVA see KA$HDAMI move by himself, reflecting on his growth as an artist throughout his career. Earlier this year, the 17-year-old also dropped off a 17-track project called epiphany, which saw him work with the likes off BabySantana, Riovaz, D’mari Harris, yvngxchris, and ssgkobe.

Along with the new album comes a music video (directed by @karlwithak) for the eighth track, “B.O.A.,” which sees our young star flexing stacks of cash and flashy watches while turning up with his friends. The snippet is short, but it really sets the tone for what listeners can expect from the rest of HYPERNOVA.

According to his Instagram, KA$HDAMI “can’t wait” to perform songs from his latest tape. Which track would you like to see him take on live first? Drop a comment below and let us know.

The local buzz that Lil Zay Osama built over the years is finally paying off. 2021 has been an especially big year for him. He’s unloaded tons of new music including Trench Baby and its deluxe release.

On Friday, Zay Osama came through with the sequel Trench Baby 2. His latest project is a 13 songs effort that includes previously released singles like “If It’s A War, “Danny Block,” and “Roll Up Hot.” This time, he brings a variety of collaborators on board to bring his vision to life. Benny The Butcher appears on “Elevation,” EST Gee helps kick things off on “Murderzone,” and Sean Kingston appears on “Night Time.” Other appearances on the project come from Luh Kel and Mooka6340.

Check out the latest from Lil Zay Osama below. 

Back in October, D Savage shared the exciting news that his new album, BPL would be dropping on Friday, November 12th. The project has since arrived, and has quickly become a new favourite among fans of the recording artist. “Stick n the Trunk” featuring Lil Gnar and “Bet” have been in heavy rotation according to D Savage’s Instagram comments.

Other collaborators on BPL include Matt Ox and K Suave on “Bring Me Down,” Tony Shhnow on “My Very Best,” and Trippie Redd on the new release’s last track, “IDC.”

This is D Savage’s first album since 2019’s Trust No One, which saw him move alone on 11/12 tracks, grabbing HoodRich, Pablo Juan, and MPR Tito to assist him all on just one song. Now that he’s becoming an even bigger name in the industry, he’s able to work with established artists that will only help to expand his fan base.

Back in September, Toronto’s Portion was included on our “5 New Artists You Should Hear.” By then, his single “WAVE” had been taking over the summer with spins at L.A. Lakers games and a glowing co-sign from Million Dollaz Worth Of Game co-hosts, Wallo and Gillie The King.

His major-label debut following his deal with Warner Music Canada just hit streaming services on Friday titled, I Am Nothing Without. His star potential shines over the course of the 9-song tracklist with no features attached. Singles like the aforementioned “WAVE,” “99 PRBLMS” and “TIES” are included on I Am Nothing Without.

“I am nothing without the experiences I’ve been through and this EP is music that everybody can relate to. Listeners can fill in the blank of what keeps them motivated and what makes them whole,” NF Portion said in a statement. “The music speaks for itself when you feel the pain through the storytelling of my lyrics and the championship feel of the production. I’m depicting the feeling of coming up from the bottom and what it means when pain turns to a win. I Am Nothing Without represents everything I’ve sacrificed.”

Peep his new project below. 

On Friday, November 12th, Lil Reese dropped off the third instalment in his Supa Savage series, Supa Savage 3. The latest release is made up of 11 tracks, with Young Dolph, Chief Keef, and Bwuan Bans all making appearances throughout.

The project’s intro track sets the tone for what’s to come, featuring booming production followed by Reese sending out apparent threats on “Come Outside,” rapping, “Better not catch that boy outside/That boy scared don’t come outside,” as the song begins.

Of all the Supa Savage releases so far, #3 includes the least features, perhaps showing that the 28-year-old is becoming more comfortable in his own skin now, although Chief Keef made appearances on both #1 and #2, so it’s nice to see the Chicago natives link up once again.

Reese has been receiving plenty of love on the new project, reposting stories from adoring fans and friends all day long yesterday. “Go stream rn I wanna see this number shoot up on iTunes, link in bio,” he wrote on one post.

Throughout his career, Aesop Rock has frequently collaborated with producer Blockhead, but now, for the first time, the two have created an entire album together. At midnight, the artists dropped Garbology, a 14-track project that sees Aesop rap over some of his friend’s finest beats.

In the past, Blockhead has produced some of the recording artist’s most popular songs, including “None Shall Pass” and “Daylight,” and over the course of the pandemic, they had the chance to work together again. Aesop was processing the loss of a friend back in January of 2020, and felt stuck in a creative block, but once he was inspired to write again, he knew exactly who to go to for beats.

“The world got real weird during those months. I knew at some point I had to get back to making something. Make a beat. Draw a picture. Write. Just go. But the idea of making a beat felt like math homework, and drawing is just so hard. Writing is hard too, but at some point I had to pick one,” the 45-year-old explained.

The album sees just one feature from Homeboy Sandman on “All Day Breakfast.” The remainder of the release is carried solely by Aesop’s larger-than-life persona that comes through in his lyrics, and Blockhead’s unique production.

Check out Garbology below and drop your first impressions in the comments.

Tracklist:

1. Only Picture
2. Jazz Hands
3. Wolf Piss
4. Legerdemain
5. Difficult
6. All the Smartest People

8. More Cycles
9. Flamingo Pink
10. All Day Breakfast (feat. Homeboy Sandman)
