The 14-track project boasts anthems such as the new single “Switches” feat. Lil Keed & Yella Beezy. Trapboy Freddy’s scorching flow takes center stage as fellow Dallas stalwart Yella Beezy pops off with a hypnotic cameo of his own. Illuminating his unbreakable spirit, the late Lil Keed shines on with a punchy appearance as well.

No Distractions serves as the successor to Trapboy Freddy’s fan-favorite 2021 tape, Distractions.

After a season of turbulence, he opted to ignore the static from the media and the game and instead hone in on what matters the most—the music. As such, he delivers a dynamic, diverse, and potentially definitive body of work. “I tuned out all the noise,” says Trapboy Freddy on his new project. “Since the release of ‘Distractions,’ I dealt with some legal issues and became a father, so my priorities have completely shifted. Trivial issues that used to bother me don’t affect me anymore. I’m focused on my music, my family, my businesses and not repeating old mistakes. No Distractions is more than a mixtape title, it’s a lifestyle.”

In addition to production from Bankroll Got It, DJ Chose, Blame It On Monstah, BootMeUpJT, and more, he joins forces with Hotboy Wes and Lil Jairmy on the head-nodding “YM,” while diamond-certified rap superstar Fetty Wap pulls up for the impactful and infectious “Selling Dreams.” Rap and R&B songstress Enchanting lends her seductive touch to “Down A** Chick” and his 300 label mate Hunxho brings his signature energy on “Tell Me Nuthin.” The project culminates with a pensive and powerful moment punctuated by his signature delivery on “Lonely At The Top.” It also includes previously-released singles “Too Much Booty” and “Dream Of.”

Trapboy Freddy rolled out of Dallas, TX with a focused, fierce, and fiery flow, and he continues to ignite the culture. After stirring up buzz with a series of independent projects, his vision crystallized on 2021’s Distractions. The latter posted up over 10 million total streams powered by standouts such as “Buss It Open” feat. Lakeyah and “Freddy” feat. Young Thug. In addition to acclaim from REVOLT, XXL, and more, he has collaborated with everyone from the late Young Dolph to multiplatinum Dallas phenomenon Yella Beezy along the way. Now, he’s primed for a major moment with No Distractions and much more to come.

Savannah Ré Links With Boi-1da For New Single “Closure”

Savannah Re

Reuniting with longtime collaborator and Drake’s go-to producer Boi-1da, award-winning R&B singer-songwriter Savannah Ré is showing a new side of her artistry with “Closure”. In the new song, Savannah asserts her worth and calls out toxic Fboy energy. “Closure” blends Baile Funk percussion with dancehall and soca influences for an up-tempo track unlike anything Savannah has released before.

“Closure” arrives as the second release from Savannah’s eagerly anticipated sophomore project No Weapons due out early this Fall.

“I tapped into my past for this one, especially on the voicemail in the beginning (that’s actually me),” Savannah shares. “‘Closure’ is about a relationship that has run its course, but you’re still enamoured with this person and make the last-ditch effort to hold onto something that’s already gone. Even though it’s about toxicity, I wanted it to have an uplifting energy to it with tempo and bright sounds.”

With “Closure”, Savannah continues the narrative started with the EP’s sensual lead single, “About U”, which was unveiled last month. Praised for its vulnerability and smooth, flawless vocals, “About U” set the tone for her new artistic chapter – one that is unapologetically authentic Savannah.

“Closure” is produced by Boi-1da, YogiTheProducer and Kevinshideout. “When Yogi and I brought the production to Boi-1da and played it for him, he was like, ‘Oh yeah, this is crazy,’ says Savannah. “He knew exactly what it needed. He added his 1da sauce to it and it became this hybrid of a bunch of different genres – something that I haven’t really made before.”

“Closure” is available now on all platforms via Capitol Records. Stream it below.

by
Scotty ATL

Following the announcement of his Atlanta Hawks partnership, Scotty ATL unveils a brand-new album, Candler Road to Melrose. Last week the 37-year-old shared he will create through partnership custom grillz for the Hawks schedule release representing different NBA teams.

On Friday, Candler Road to Melrose released via Cool Club/ Cinq Music Group, which finds the southern emcee exploring the journey and path that led him to his highly successful grillz business on Melrose Ave.   

Scotty ATL, known for his distinct drawl and vernacular, keeps it fresh while switching flows over 13 tracks with production from super producer Zaytoven, DJ Burn One, DJ Tune and more.

Candler Road to Melrose arrives as the follow up to Scotty’s trio of  singles released earlier this year. “Go Twin,” “LA Care,” and “Nomo Heaux,” featuring Young Dro, all appear on the album. 

For collaborations the East Atlanta native taps Curren$y and G Perico on “Spike Lee,” Sleepy Brown on “Remember Chad,” and Iamsu! on “Night Vision.” While Big K.R.I,T. joins on “Chosen & Frozen,” and Ace Hood flexes on “Congratulations.”

The successful entrepreneur and artist continues to build his craft and financial freedom with a new project and expanding his company, Grillz By Scotty.

In recognition of #BlackBusinessMonth this August, Scotty ATL spoke with the Source’s Kim SoMajor about business after COVID-19, new ventures with PUMA, The Atlanta Hawks, and much more.

When and what sparked you to start a grillz business? 

I’ve always worn grillz since I was in high school. I made a name for myself in Atlanta as a rapper. One of my old friends lost his job as a dental assistant. He wanted to do grillz. At first I was just helping him and then it got more serious. 

How did it serve as another option outside of your rap career? 

It has allowed me to make extra income to support my dreams and provide for my family. It has also given me a bigger platform to share with the world. 

How did your business adjust during the stay-at-home orders and how is it now?

I adjusted by decreasing staff and increasing my knowledge of online businesses. Now we do both in store and online. I have a store in Atlanta on Candler Rd. and another store on Melrose Ave. in Los Angeles. 

With your business, you are providing an opportunity for other people too. What has been a definitive moment for you that reaffirmed that you made the right move in starting it? 

Everyday I think about that. Helping my dad move out of the projects and give him a job is the biggest. 

What’s next for Grillz By Scotty? 

Major brand collaboration opportunities on the way. New designs. New moves for the culture. Maybe more locations… 

How did you know that  was the next move for you? 

I knew it because I started making money everyday and that was my goal from the beginning. 

Talk about your new grillz design and how you’re elevating your business?

I have newly designed colored grillz are out now. They’re limited edition and very unique. I’m more than a grill maker, I’m a grill designer. You haven’t seen these before. 

Congratulations on your partnerships, to watch your dedication and growth in rap and  business is very inspiring. What do these success-building opportunities mean to you? 

My role as an influencer in this project was to capture ATL culture through my eyes. I had an amazing time and I’m so proud of myself and our company. 

You can hear the new release from Scotty ATL below.

DVSN’s ‘If I Get Caught’ Triggers Response Song From Kandi & Tiny

by
kandi tiny

Since the release of their latest single, “If I Get Caught,” DVSN has certainly stirred the pot and open pandora’s box for conversations on potential toxic relationship.

The group originally finished the recording of the record back in January, with the intention to release it in March. Instead, it was release this Summer. One would say it is perfect timing because Winter months are labeled as “cuffing season.” On the other hand, the warm weather season entices more outside activity that may or may not involve the cuffing season.

“You get to see this person and mentality in its boldest of thoughts,” said Daniel. “There’s something in the honesty of the song, although it may be triggering.”

It has certainly triggered some listeners and raised some eyebrows. “If I Get Caught” has also prompted a response from half of the R&B quartet, Xscape. Kandi Burress and Tameka “Tiny” Harris dropped their response and added their sauce to the pot of controversial R&B. In the chorus they sing:

If you get caught cheating
middle finger up ni**a f**k you

Both Nineteen85 and Daniel Day have shared their experiences of getting caught. While they have learned their lessons of the past, the point of the record stretches beyond toxicity.

According to the the R&B duo, (Daniel Day & Nineteen85) their forthcoming album is a story. “If I Get Caught” is only “chapter one of it” that discuss ego.
