TDE Vibes, Doechii Joins Forces With SZA on “Persuasive” Remix

by
DOECHII SZA full body

Doechii and multi-platinum Grammy winner SZA join forces on the new remix of “Persuasive” released via Top Dawg Entertainment/Capitol Records.

Today marks the first collaboration of TDE’s female powerhouses with all the vibes on “Persuasive” remix. Doechii flexes her signature half-rap, half-singing flow.

“Feel like I feel like I needed rest, feel it’s the season I should let go,” the 23-year-old spits over a Kal Banx production. The addition of SZA to “Persuasive,” which is an ode to the perfect high, makes the song even more addicting.

“I created “Persuasive” to uplift people and bring communities together, so having SZA jump on the song was a perfect fit because I’ve always connected with others over her music,” says Doechii. “Knowing that SZA is with TDE was what originally got me most excited about being on this label, so now that we have a song together it’s a full-circle moment. She really ATE! This collaboration is everything I always imagined it to be.”

The Tampa breakout star had an impressive 2021 gaining momentum with a new audience from her viral TikTok song “Yucky Blucky Fruitcake” and a dope feature on “Wat U Sed” from Isaiah Rashad’s The House Is Burning LP.

Lizzo Changes Offensive “GRRRLS” Lyric, Issues Apology

by
Lizzo comments

Lizzo faced backlash for her new song “GRRRLS.” Immediately upon releasing the song last week, disability advocates urged her via social media that she was using an “ableist slur.” 

The “Tempo” singer is being accused of using an offensive term for someone with cerebral palsy. In the original version, the 31-year-old chants “Hold my bag bi**h. Hold my bag. Do you see this sh*t? I’ma spazz.”

According to The Cambridge Dictionary, “spaz” is “an offensive way of saying ‘a stupid person.’”

Also adding the word is “(short for ‘spastic’) an offensive way of referring to someone who has cerebral palsy (a condition of the body that makes it difficult to control the muscles).”

Lizzo addressed the misstep and issued an apology on Twitter announcing the release of a new version of “GRRRLS” with a lyric change. 

“It’s been brought to my attention that there is a harmful word in my new song ‘GRRRLS’. Let me make one thing clear: I never want to promote derogatory language,” Lizzo penned. “As an influential artist I’m dedicated to being part of the change I’ve been waiting to see in the world. Xoxo, Lizzo.”

“GRRRLS” is the Houston natives second pre-release single ahead of her upcoming album Special.  That project is due out July 15.  Lizzo also kicks off a North American tour starting in September.

The lyrics have been updated, “Hold my bag, bi**h, hold my bag. Do you see this sh*t? Hold me back.”

Take a listen to the new version below.

J.Stone Enlists All-Star Cast For ‘The Definition Of Sacrifice’ LP

by
J. Stone TDOS Artwork

The founder and CEO of 25/8 No Breaks Inc and a founding member of All Money In Records, J. Stone has been overcoming adversity his entire life.  

From the onset of his life, he has been confronted with loss. At three, his mother passed. An aunt became his guardian before succumbing to cancer. One year later, J lost his brother Alvin to street violence. Throughout his teens and twenties, he endured a revolving door of incarcerations, group homes, and getting shot. Meanwhile, he connected with an associate from the neighborhood who shared his passion, goals, and fierce work ethic: Nipsey Hussle.

MORE: All Money In’s J Stone Confirms Another Nipsey Hussle Album Will ‘Definitely’ Happen

For well over a decade, the Crenshaw native has put in undisputed work on the mic. However, his association is forever closest to longtime friend and business partner Nipsey Hussle. Grinding away out of nothing with a matched drive to win, J Stone reached over 10 million views and streams with “The Marathon Continues” tribute. Adding to an album series that Nipsey architected during their All Money In No Money Out days

As Nip’ recalled on J Stone’s 2019 tribute “The Marathon Continues,” they recorded each other in Hussle’s makeshift bedroom studio. They worked side by side on J’s The Grind Don’t Stop, Nipsey’s Bullets Ain’t Got No Name, Vol. 2.  and J added a standout solo song, “All Get Right,” too Nipsey’s revolutionary Crenshaw.

After shining on one of the highest-profile mixtapes of all time, J. Stone went deeper.  The Coldest Story Ever, 25 / 8 No Brakes, and Neighborhood Watch became catalog milestones, which helped All Money partner with a major label, Nipsey then urged J to create the series that would propel him further. Although Nip’ was unable to see it, The Definition Of Loyalty met that challenge. After nearly quitting music after the tragic 2019 loss of Nipsey, J. Stone let hurt become hunger, evident on The Definition Of Pain (2020). Both albums peaked at #2 on the iTunes Hip Hop charts.

Now, J. Stone’s new album, The Definition Of Sacrifice, (which completes his “Definition” trilogy) raises the stakes. The album features appearances and production from Young Dolph (RIP), Swizz Beatz, Jadakiss, Mozzy, OT Genasis, Styles P, K Camp and Lumidee.  

“I feel like I’m one of the dopest lyricists from L.A. and The Definition Of Sacrifice will prove it.  I am South Central’s advocate” J. Stone asserts.

“… My stage name is ‘Eshu Tune.’ I came up with the stage name a couple months ago,” said Hannibal on The WGCI Morning Show on 107.5 WGCI. “Eshu is from Nigerian mythology — he’s a Trickster God. So being able to compartmentalize it — I don’t wear red in my regular life. As Eshu, that’s the red, and that brings the energy. So I’m still learning how to perform, and how to do it…”

The new EP sees the comedian transition into music with an eight-song collection that showcases a different repertoire from the entertainer. The project’s subject matter showcases Eshu’s competitive nature on “1-3 Pocket,” a dollar and a dream chaser-tunred-landlord on “Donde Esta,” newfound love as a first-time father on “Kept About 3,” and a Chicago homecoming ready to spaz on “Back In The City.” For debut, Eshu Tune collaborators include talented musicians Haile Supreme, Eryn Allen Kane and Kiefer.

GoGo Morrow Makes Debut with Intimate Single ‘In the Way’

by
IMG 3768

GoGo Morrow dazzle listeners with an accountability check-in for her major label debut, “In the Way.” The song details Morrow’s experience with a questionable romantic relationship. She sings:

You love me when it’s convenient
Can never tell when you mean it
If you’re not always in it
Maybe you should let someone else get it

The level of commitment that Morrow exhibits is not reciprocated. Therefore, the person she’s giving her time to could be spent on someone who would not only match her energy, but value her. Hence, the title and hook, “you ‘in the way.’”

The song is accompanied by visuals where GoGo Morrow interacts with her love interest. While some exchanges are pleasant, both Morrow and her love interest expression doubt for their relationship’s future.

“In the way” is GoGo Morrow’s major label debut. The track is produced by Harmony “H Money” Samuels. Morrow’s career began after being discovered on YouTube, which led to performance cameos at some of the biggest festivals and venues in her native city of Philadelphia, including Roots Picnic, Made In America and The Theatre of The Living Arts (TLA).

She has toured as both an opening act and back-up singer for Lady Gaga, Marsha Ambrosius, Wiz Khalifa and more. In addition, Morrow appeared on James Corden with Kanye West’s Sunday Service choir.

After catching the eye of multi-media mogul, Kenya Barris, he signed her to his joint venture with Interscope Records through his Khalabo music label. Barris has also partnered with B.O.E.

Now GoGo Morrow is taking her talents to develop a solo career with her debut track, “In The Way.”
