Jim Jones, Dyce Payso, And Keen Streetz Lay Down Bars Over “SHAQ & KOBE” Beat

New York MC and label head of B.G. Touring, Inc & Entertainment, Jim Jones is on a little run right now. Just last weekend, the veteran put out his second album of the year with Jim Jones Presents Byrdgang 2.0. What was interesting about this release was that it was another collaborative record of sorts. While his previous effort Back In My Prime was like that too, his latest one puts on tons of underground talent. Some of the most frequent names included Dyce Payso and Keen Streetz. Those two lyricists join Jones once again with a new freestyle.

Currently, it is only available on YouTube. The title of the song may sound familiar to you and you would be right in that assumption. That is because this is a remix of sorts of Meek Mill’s and Rick Ross’ recent collaborative track. Unlike the two MMG artists, this version of “SHAQ & KOBE” does not seem like it will appear on any upcoming record.

Gunna, Victor Thompson & Ehis “D” Greatest Drop “This Year (Blessings)” Remix

After a stellar live performance of it for his Los Angeles show, we finally have Gunna in his Afrobeats bag officially in our hands. Moreover, he hopped on the remix of Victor Thompson and Ehis “D” Greatest’s “This Year (Blessings).” Not only does the dancehall-adjacent cut contain great vocal harmonies from all artists, but the YSL affiliate holds his own from a melodic and lyrical standpoint, as well. There are many different versions of this song out right now, so make sure to give Thompson and D some love and find your favorite. It might be October, but this track is going to heat up any playlist you slap it on.

In addition to the record coming out on streaming service, the artists also released a music video for it. You can see Victor Thompson and Ehis “D” Greatest around Los Angeles in it, working hard on the song, performing, and rehearsing. In fact, around the halfway mark of the video, you can not only see the Georgia MC rehearsing with Thompson and the band, but bringing him out onto the stage for their performance. As such, it feels like a lot of the song’s bubbly energy, reversed and atmospheric synths, and hopeful lyrics really manifested themselves in that moment. That’s not where they were created, but it’s clear the whole team felt it was important to match these two together.

Pusha T, Chad Hugo, & BENEE Join Pop Band Phoenix For Remix Of “All Eyes On Me”

Pusha T’s career in hip-hop is one of the greatest of all time. It all started with his duo Clipse back in the early 1990s. He and his brother, No Malice were a great pairing giving us phenomenal tracks. Then, they eventually split and Push went on to forge his own path. It is been nothing short of an amazing run. He is most known for his coke raps and aggressive tone on the mic.

However, what some fans might not know is that the Virginia native has done a fair amount of crossovers with non-hip hop artists. Back in 2013, he teamed up with Justin Timberlake for the “TKO (Black Friday Remix).” While it did include other rappers A$AP Rocky and J. Cole, it was still an unexpected moment. One year later, Push and EDM producer Hudson Mohawke remixed “Chimes.” Now, he is back hopping into other genres with the indie pop band, Phoenix.
