Drake Pops Out For “Supersoak” Music Video In New Preview From DJ Akademiks

by

Well, it looks like DJ Akademiks was quickly able to prove his claim that Drake has a music video coming very soon. Moreover, he recently shared a short preview of the visuals for the unreleased (and leaked) Lil Yachty collab “Supersoak” music video on his livestream. The clip doesn’t really show much, just the 6ix God rocking his braids and vibing out to the track with a friend. Either way, it gives OVO and Concrete fans hope that the duo will officially drop this collaboration on streaming services after Yachty spoke of leaking it to Kai Cenat because they couldn’t get the sample cleared.

“It’ll be good for both of their brands,” Mr. Hotspot, the artist that Drake and Lil Yachty sampled for this cut, explained concerning his ultimatum that he’ll clear the sample if they make a clean and kid-friendly version of their song. “I’m blessed to work with children so we just gotta make it clean for them. We don’t need no children getting whooped cause they said this or that, you understand? It’s the children who really running these views up. So if we make sure both verses clean everybody coming clean, everybody gonna benefit.”

DJ Akademiks Previews Drake “Supersoak” Music Video

“I sent a song to Kai to leak,” Lil Yachty had said of this Drake collab. “We couldn’t get the sample. So I just let Kai play it. It’s everywhere. [Mr. Hotspot] went down, like, a Christian path. I don’t even think we got into money. He was just like, ‘No.’ It was crazy.” Maybe this new music video means that the “Another Late Night” duo successfully worked something out with Mr. Hotspot to put the song out officially, but we can’t know for sure until it drops.

Meanwhile, “Supersoak” also prompted Soulja Boy to call Drake out for what he perceived as a diss against him. “Drake, you up here talkin’ about some S.O.D. super soak,” he expressed on social media. “Boy, stop playin with me, boy. That better be a f***ing shout out, n***a. You better keep that s**t light, my boy. This your first and only warning. This not gon’ be the best idea for you, family.”

DJ Akademiks Hints At Drake’s Next Move

DJ Akademiks says that Drake is working on a new music video, after dropping 100 gigabytes of content for fans earlier this month. That release featured behind-the-scenes videos and three new tracks. They included: “It’s Up,” featuring Young Thug and 21 Savage, “Blue Green Red,” and “Housekeeping Knows,” featuring Latto. Further details on the music video are unclear. Akademiks made the report on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday morning.

“Music video otw,” he wrote. Fans had mixed responses to the news. “Drake down bad.. he should end his washed career now!” one user replied to Ak’s post. Another added: “Tbh AK should just be a Drake fan page cause this is where we always getting the new exclusive from Drake.”

In addition to the music video, Drake previously confirmed that he’s working on a collaborative album with PartyNextDoor. Celebrating his OVO artist’s 31st birthday, last month, Drake wrote on Instagram: “More life to the late night serenader 6 side sound creator owl gang crusader melodies that persuade her baby making music to put her in labour none greater PartyNextDoor stay tuned real soon.” The following month, Awaiz Punjani asked Party for his favorite song with Drake, to which he responded: “The one we doing right now – all 15 we doing right now.”

DJ Akademiks Reveals Drake’s Music Video Plan

Kanye West And Ty Dolla Sign Drop Moody Music Video For “SLIDE”

by

Kanye West can’t go more than 48 hours without a controversy it seems. The rapper was already been criticized for the messy rollout of VULTURES 2. A rollout that was months and multiple album versions in the making, mind you. Then it was suggested that West was addicted to nitrous gas, which is a story that has effectively drowned out anything that was on VULTURES 2. Despite the seemingly constant barrage of problems, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign are forging ahead. The duo have decided to drop a music video for the first VULTURES 2 single that was released: “SLIDE.”

Let’s get the obvious points out of the way. Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign do not appear in the video for “SLIDE.” There is no performance element to the song, or famous faces scattered throughout. Instead, the video presents a single, unbroken shot of a camera moving down a city street. We see a woman in lingerie, we see homeless people in tents. We also see a vulture at one point, which, sure, why not. It’s suggested that the street in question is in a red light district, but other aspects of the video, like cars on fire, don’t exactly vibe with the theory. Overall, it feels very much cut from the concept of “No Church In the Wild,” which is to say, societal chaos.

Kanye West And Ty Dolla Capture Societal Collapse

It’s a cool video, even if it doesn’t align with Kanye West or Ty Dolla Sign’s lyrics. “SLIDE” sees West rap about impossibly wealthy parties and sexual conquests during his first verse. “Headed to the high-rise. Cruisin’ like Eyes Wide Shut (Get up),” he spits. But I slide in it like a drive-by. The industry don’t like me, tell them p**sy n**gas likewise (Get up). They tried to hit me with the cyanide.” Ty Dolla Sign’s hook is more of the same. Kanye West hasn’t provided much context about the inspiration for the song, either. When he played it during a November DJ set, he merely said: “This is madness for me, I made this with my brother Ty a few months ago.”

It’s difficult to imagine the music video for “SLIDE” will do much to boost VULTURES 2 album sales. The album pulled in 107K album equivalent sales first week, which marks the lowest first week numbers for a Kanye West album ever. The reviews have been even worse. Fans have chastised West for dropping the album despite it not being close to finished. Several tweaks have been made to the final mix, but rather than intrigue listeners, the way it did when West tweaked The Life of Pablo, it has irritated.

Gunna’s “Today I Did Good” Music Video Is A Reminder To Just Live Your Life

by

One thing fans have learned about Gunna is that he loves to make a music video. Every album cycle of his comes with several visuals. a Gift & a Curse came with six videos for the album’s fifteen tracks. His latest album, One of Wun, is no different. After releasing videos for “whatsapp (wassam),” “back in the a” and “Prada Dem” with Offset, Gunna is back with the fourth video of this album cycle. “today i did good,” a more understated cut than the high-energy tracks Gunna is most known for, is the latest from the album to receive a video.

“today i did good” is Gunna celebrating himself. He applauds himself for getting on a diet (“I ain’t been eating no bullsh*t”). His fitness journey is one he’s documented himself for the last few years. He thanks God that he’s still rich, and talks about his bachelor life. The beat is mellower than one may expect from a Gunna track, and overall, it’s pleasant to listen to. The video, directed by Spike Jordan, is as impressive.

Gunna – “today i did good”: Watch:

The video itself is Gunna going through several days in his life. The video is also shot on a GoPro-like camera. It gives viewers his point of view in a way that would be similar to how Gunna himself goes through the day. He also time stamps every major point in the day. The video begins with him working out in Rome at 4:45 AM. From there, he eats breakfast, gets dressed, and leaves his hotel at 9:38 AM. He goes clothes shopping and then goes to a fashion show. Gunna leaves Rome at almost 7PM, and heads to South Africa to shoot the video for Tyla’s “Jump,” a track he features on. The scenes in South Africa follow a similar format. After his day in South Africa, he briefly heads to Los Angeles. He then goes to Ohio State University’s Schottenstein Center, the location of the first show of his Bittersweet Tour.

The video’s ending scene is from a photoshoot for P, Gunna’s clothing brand. Following the shoot, they return a room to in a scene that suggests a deluxe version of One of Wun is on the way. There are two pieces of art. One is the album’s standard art. Instead of the standard’s blue and white flowers, the other piece of art shows his head covered with orange and yellow flowers. The video’s last message is essentially telling viewers to make the most of their day. Gunna also wants his fans to not listen to what other people think of them. It’s a nice message to end a very well-crafted music video for one of the more underrated tracks on One of Wun. Watch the video above.

JPEGMAFIA And Denzel Curry Team Up For Grimey Music Video “JPEGULTRA!”

by

JPEGMAFIA and Denzel Curry is a match made in rap heaven. The two artists were elite on their first collab, “VENGEANCE I VENGEANCE,” but their latest song, “JPEGULTRA,” managed to top it. Both are in their absolute element, dropping clever bars over one of Peggy’s coolest productions. Unsurprisingly, the music video is just as good. JPEGMAFIA and Curry take to the streets with handheld cameras and deliver a visual that’s every bit as gritty and stylish as the song that accompanies it.

There’s some fun editing right off the bat. Denzel Curry raps the same bars in three different settings, and the clips are then overlapped in the frame so we can see them all simultaneously. It’s a jarring effect at first but it adds to the otherworldly aesthetic of the beat. The music video also plays with different film stock. There’s old VHS footage, grainy black-and-white stock, and footage obtained with a fish eye lens. They are interchanged about as frequently as JPEGMAFIA and Curry trade verses, which is to say: often. JPEGMAFIA’s last verse is electric. “On my knees for a God who can hear. I can’t pray to no God I can’t fear,” he spits. “I think I should have ran me a cult. Quarterback that ho like I’m Peyton on Colts.”

JPEGMAFIA’s New Video Uses Different Filters

“JPEGULTRA!” samples “Get Up!” by the Japanese band Akira Ishikawa And His Count Buffalos. Peggy has spoken at length about the time he lived in Japan, and the impact Japanese music has on his own. He cited the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack, in particular, during a 2018 interview with Vice. “It was one of the first ones I heard but all of them have been influential in their own way,” he explained. “The thing I took the most from them was the strange rhythms and just the weird things they do. So sometimes they’ll pull these crazy melodies out, they probably don’t even care. It’s a melody for a scene, but it makes me cry.”

JPEGMAFIA recently made headlines for throwing shots at Drake. He went at the Toronto rapper not once, but twice on the album I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU. Peggy has gone at Drake for most of his career, but the aggression of his bars caught a lot more attention this time around. He even addressed the controversy on social media. “If anybody got a problem with what i said on this album, my tour dates in bio,” he tweeted out. “Y’all cant even pay your rent but defending Drake for free, go outside and be somebody.”

It’s already been a busy year for SleazyWorld Go, and fortunately for fans, it doesn’t look like he plans on slowing down any time soon. Currently, the Missouri rapper is gearing up to unleash his eagerly anticipated new album, More Than A Shooter. Listeners won’t have to wait too much longer to hear it, as the project is slated for release on September 6 of this year.

Ahead of the full release, however, SleazyWorld Go has decided to give his fans a taste of what’s to come. Late last week, he unveiled his new single “Who The Who’s.” On the high-octane track, the 26-year-old artist raps about clashing with opps and coming out on top every time. It arrived alongside a lively accompanying music video, which shows him and his crew getting rowdy on a bus, riding a horse, and more. It sets the tone for the rest of the anxiously awaited project and serves as a promising preview.

The release of “Who The Who’s” follows several other singles he unveiled in recent months, including “Where Them Shooters At,” “WTW,” “32 Bars,” and more. It also follows his collaboration with Babyfxce E, “Mama Said.” What do you think of SleazyWorld Go’s new track? What about its accompanying music video?

Megan Thee Stallion Teases Cinematic Music Video For “MEGAN” Cut “Mamushi”

by

Megan Thee Stallion’s rollout for her new album MEGAN isn’t over yet, and with a wild tour behind her, she’s got more goods to focus on now. Moreover, she recently teased a new music video for the Yuki Chiba-assisted album cut “Mamushi,” which recently became the project’s latest single. The track has been one of the record’s biggest so far, so it’s no surprise that it’s getting a little extra love through a visual treatment. We don’t know when this new music video should be coming out or what it should include, but based on the black and white imagery, this bilingual song should be paying homage to Japanese film in one way or another.

Elsewhere, folks are ignoring Megan Thee Stallion’s killer year in the face of her Kamala Harris endorsement, including some callouts from Lil Pump. “Nicki Manaj > Megan stallion,” he shared online. “Who tf performs at a kamal Harris rally. She’s an embarrassment to the culture. This is an embarrassment to our country. Kamal Harris should’ve booked killer mike for the rally instead of Megan estallian. Kamala Harris needs Megan the stallion shaking a** to have people show up to her rally. Donald Trump needs himself to have people show up to his rally. One person is powered by the people, the other is powered by the establishment. Trump 2024 [U.S. flag emoji].”

Megan Thee Stallion Teases “Mamushi” MV

Regardless of petty politics and put-downs, Megan Thee Stallion is also facing a lot of scrutiny for reignited conspiracy theories about the Tory Lanez shooting, which her former best friend Kelsey Nicole had to address once again on Twitter. “It’s easy to get lost in the media, but let’s remember MY NAME was cleared by both parties involved. Stay tuned,” she shared online.

Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time that Megan Thee Stallion teased the “Mamushi” video, so you should catch up on that if you’re excited for the visuals. We wonder whether other MEGAN cuts will also get the MV treatment or if they will remain underrated fan picks from the discog. Either way, we’ll see what else 2024 holds for the Houston femcee after an already staggering seven months.

Gordo And Drake Drop Inspirational Music Video For “Healing”: Watch

by

Gordo and Drake really locked into a tropical vibe on DIAMANTE. There are tons of standout songs scattered throughout the album, but the closer, “Healing,” is especially powerful. It’s one of the most positive and uplifting songs Drake has released in years. As such, the song was a no brainer to get the music video treatment. “Healing” may not align with the visuals that fans DIAMANTE promotes on its album cover, though. Instead of a lush, globe-trotting vibe, the video tells a ground narrative within a South African village.

The music video revolves around South African TikToker “The Don Madfunz.” It details the literal lengths that Madfunz has to walk (nine miles) to get to work each day. The music video then takes an emotional turn when Gordo decides to gift the TikToker a brand new car. It’s very much a page take from Drake’s “God’s Plan” video, in terms of capturing the reactions of those less fortunate, but it is effective. One would be hard-pressed to watch the video for “Healing” and not be swept up in the joy that Madfunz experiences when he first sees the car.

Gordo’s Music Video Focuses On A South African Family

Gordo and Drake don’t technically appear in the music video, but the latter does make a cameo via FaceTime towards the end. He admits that he’s been thinking about the TikToker’s story nonstop. “It means so much to me,” Gordo noted. “How much effort you put into your life. I really love and I just wanted to do something to help, brother.” The producer provides a detailed backstory for “The Don Madfunz” in the YouTube description for the music video. “We filmed in Dududu, a rural area about an hour outside of Durban,” he revealed. “We captured Don’s everyday life – the simple joys, the positivity, and the resilience.”

Themes of universality and connectivity were on Gordo’s mind during the making of DIAMANTE. During a recent Rolling Stone profile, the producer claimed that he wanted to break down cultural boundaries with his music. “There’s a purpose with this album,” he explained. “And the purpose is that I’m connecting the dots between all these different worlds, and I’m doing it the most tasteful way possible.” The music video for “Healing” hammers this point home in a very powerful manner. It’s more powerful than a big, glossy shoot with Drake would have been.

MGK’s New Music Video Has Sparked Megan Fox Pregnancy Rumors

by

MGK and Megan Fox are a celebrity couple in every sense of the phrase. They love the limelight, and using it to bolster their reputations as eccentrics. They really outdid themselves with MGK’s new music video, though. The rapper and actress appear in the video for “Lonely Road,” and they play a couple who are expecting their first child. Megan Fox can be seen sporting a very prominent baby bump throughout the video. Naturally, this has led to speculation that MGK and Fox are going to be starting a family in real life.

Pregnancy doesn’t play a part in “Lonely Road” video so much as serve as the primary focus. MGK plays a criminal who gets locked up, and Fox visits him in prison after giving birth to their child. Naturally, fans have flocked to social media to theorize that the couple are covertly revealing their own pregnancy in the process. It’s the sort of dramatic unveiling that MGK and Megan Fox would go for, but there’s no proof to support these claims. For one, Fox has recently been seen in public, and does not have a baby bump. If the bump she was sporting in the music video was real, it would have been easily spotted by fans.

MGK And Megan Fox Previously Suffered A Miscarriage

It’s also worth considering MGK and Fox’s past. The couple suffered a miscarriage in 2023, and Fox detailed the devastating aftermath during an interview with People Magazine. “I’ve never been through anything like that in my life,” she told the outlet. “I have three kids, so it was very difficult for both of us and it sent us on a very wild journey together and separately.” Fox also wrote about the miscarriage in her memoir, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous. “I want to hold your hand / hear your laugh,” she wrote in poem form. “But now / I have to say / goodbye…. As they rip you from my insides.”

MGK also took the miscarriage to heart. The rapper wrote the song “Twin Flame” in honor of his unborn child. He confirmed the inspiration during a performance at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards. “[This is] for my wife,” he said during the performance. “And this is for our unborn child.” “Twin Flame” features the sound of a heartbeat in the instrumental, furthering the emotional devastation of the song. MGK has a daughter from a previous relationship, and Fox has three kids from an earlier marriage. If they are in fact expecting, then they will let the world known soon enough.
