MadeinTYO Returns With “Thinking To Myself” Single Ahead Of New Project

Countless new singles rolled into our inboxes this week, but one that really stands out is MadeinTYO’s “Thinking to Myself.” The new song specifically finds the 30-year-old reflecting on his aspirations of heading back to his former home of Tokyo, Japan.

In the accompanying music video, we see the rapper make his return to the foreign country. As a press release notes, at the time of its filming, he was the second U.S.-based artist to travel to Japan post-COVID.

Interestingly, the visual also stars IMMA – a well-known virtual social media model from Tokyo.

“Maybe I should slow down / The same ones that hated, see my shit turned around,” MadeinTYO reflects throughout his first few bars. “They told me that my shit was watered down / A couple plaques years later, man, look at me now.”

As the brief song comes to an end he adds, “I just wanna take a flight to Japan and never come back / Quit all this rap. I guess they want that old thing back.”

Just last month, we heard from the “Skateboard P” hitmaker on his four-track 24HRS In TOKYO EP. Prior to that, he linked up with Jay Worthy and Harry Fraud on “Earth Sky.”

At this time, specific details remain sparse, but we do know that the Hawaii native is gearing up to release a new project in the near future. His last full-length offering arrived back in 2021 in the form of Yokohama with UnoTheActivist.

The two stars teamed up with other artists like MDMA and KA$HDAMI for titles like “Ghostrider” and “Plug.”

Quotable Lyrics:

It’ll never really work
If you ain’t got trust
How you stressed out girl, and you got us
You got bread, you got crust

“My catalog is not my soul,” the multi-platinum producer wrote.

Lil Durk’s New Single Finds Him “Hanging With Wolves”

Since sharing his 7220 album in the early half of 2022, Lil Durk has been making steady appearances. We’ve heard him on singles both alone and with other popular artists. Previously, he connected with Doodie Lo on “Did Shit To Me.” Later we saw him connect with Kanye West and Cardi B on “Hot Shit.”

Most recently, the Chicago native is back to operating solo on a Chopsquad DJ-produced beat. His latest single, “Hanging With Wolves” sees him reflecting on the trials and tribulations of being a part of street life.

“They in my business, they tryna treat me like a menace, they tryna turn me down / You know I’m different, I’m walking around with my skinnies, I’m Saint Laurent down,” Durk flexes in his first few bars.

The “Laugh Now, Cry Later” hitmaker goes on to rap, “Saying ‘he stable,’ that n*gga had got off the table, so we had to calm down / Come to the ‘Raq with a rack, you think I’m dramatic, you n*ggas get shot down.”

As Yahoo notes, Durkio is currently working on a follow-up to Only The Family’s Loyal Bros compilation album. Details about that remain sparse at this time. Still, here’s hoping this latest single is just the first in a string of new releases from the collective.

Overall, this is an incredibly addictive track that just so happens to be an interpolation of Masego and Devin Morisson’s track called “Yamz.” Upon releasing his version, Fetty went viral on numerous platforms. However, the only platform that truly matters now is TikTok. “Sweet Yamz” has become a massive TikTok sound, and as a result, Fetty Wap is getting his flowers.

With “Sweet Yamz” becoming a massive moment, Fetty has subsequently decided to drop a remix. This remix features none other than Wiz Khalifa, and there’s no doubt that he understood the vibe of the track. While the first half of the track still features Fetty, the second half sees Wiz drop a verse.

Lil Pump Links With Ty Dolla $ign For New Single “She Know”

Lil Pump has been trying to make a comeback as of late. Of course, when we first met the artist, he was touting himself as the “Youngest Flexer.” He was discovered by many in Adam22’s old No Jumper vlogs, and to this day, he remains a prominent name in the rap world.

Although many will always remember him for “Gucci Gang,” Pump has proven that he can do much more than that. For instance, Pump is trying to soft-launch some sing-rap vibes. Additionally, he is cooking up a new project called Lil Pump 2 which is expected to come out in 2023.

Lil Pump Drops “She Know”

Consequently, Pump is looking to come through with some singles ahead of his new tape. Among these new tracks is an effort called “She Know” which features Ty Dolla $ign. This brand-new track was released this week, and it showcases Pump taking on an r&b sound.

Of course, this is a huge departure from what we are used to from Lil Pump. Instead of those energetic flows, the Florida artist is looking to slow things down. The inclusion of Ty Dolla in this song certainly works as his smooth voice works wonders alongside Pump’s.

Overall, this is a very interesting new sound for Lil Pump, and it will be interesting to see if he keeps up this aesthetic into the new year. It’s always fun to hear someone change up their sound, regardless of what the result may be.

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Drops “Water (Drowning Pt. 2)” With Kodak Black

Years after their hit 2017 collab “Drowning,” A Boogie wit da Hoodie and Kodak Black are back at it again with “Water (Drowning Pt. 2).” The new single dropped earlier today (Dec. 6), on the Hoodie SZN rapper’s 27th birthday.

The three-minute track features a heavy bass with both rappers offering fans a unique flow and original lyrics.

“Water (Drowning Pt. 2)” will be featured on A Boogie’s upcoming album ME VS MYSELF, which is set to drop this Friday, December 9. Also listed on the project are G Herbo, Lil Durk, Roddy Ricch, H.E.R., and Tory Lanez.

ME VS MYSELF will serve as the New York rapper’s first project since releasing B4 AVA last year, which also featured Lil Durk.

Meanwhile, A Boogie is also gearing up for his upcoming album tour and is scheduled to perform at venues across the globe starting in February 2023. Stops will include Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta, Los Angles, Toronto, and the United Kingdom. 

Following the tour tickets being released for purchase last week, over half of the rapper’s concerts have already been sold out. Similarly, his December 16 show at New York’s Appolo Theatre sold out in less than 10 minutes, proving just how big of a fanbase A Boogie has earned.

Last year, he opened up to Billboard about his growing success and the process behind choosing songs for his projects, saying, “Every year, it’s like we’re climbing up more and more. You have a different anticipation, and that anticipation turns into my highlights. Every time I drop an album, the anticipation grows even more.”
