YG Drops “I Got Issues” With J. Cole, Nas, Roddy Ricch & More

by

YG has been heavy on his reflective energy in recent years, and it all came together on his new album I Got Issues. Earlier this month, the Compton native blessed fans with the introspective track and visual for his single “Alone,” in which he vowed to leave the streets behind. 

 The track followed his previously released singles “Scared Money” featuring J. Cole & Moneybagg Yo and “Run” with Tyga, BIA and 21 Savage, which will both be featured on his highly anticipated sixth studio album. I Got Issues is YG’s first solo album since his 2020 project, My Life 4Hunnid.

Earlier this week, the 32-year old rapper opened up about his new album in an Instagram video, sharing, “The album I Got Issues is basically insight on my life, an update on my life. I feel like my people haven’t heard from me in a real way, in a long time. So I’m giving them this album…I’m here with all my issues, you know what I’m sayin’.” Stream I Got Issues, available now on Apple Music and Spotify.

by

The West Coast vibes are high this Thursday as Kamaiyah just blessed us with a quick three-song effort. This morning, the Oakland artist came through with 3 Nights In Seattle. Even though it’s a brief effort to hold fans over until her follow-up to Divine Timing comes, it emphasizes her versatility while remaining cohesive with each project.

3 Nights In Seattle kicks off with the lowkey, Seddy Hendrinx-assisted, “Can’t Lose,” before diving into the breezy West Coast bounce on “Money Calls.” On “Going Big,” Kamaiyah issues a reminder to her naysayers that she’s going to keep leveling up, no matter what they have to say.
