Chris Brown Teases Wizkid Collaboration

by

Breezy season is in full effect.

After debuting his new song “Wheels Fall Off,” Chris Brown has shared another teaser from his highly-anticipated album, this time for his Wizkid collaboration.

He previewed the unnamed track with a video that finds him dancing to the laid-back Afrobeats groove. Even though it was just a 30-second teaser, fans couldn’t get enough, even declaring it the song of the summer.

“That Chris Brown and Wizkid will dominate the summer,” wrote one fan, while another added, “That saxophone on Chris Brown and Wizkid’s snippet is hard asf. Incoming global hit.”

The Wizkid collab will be included on Chris’ 10th studio album Breezy, which drops June 24. The project also features collaborations with Lil Wayne, Jack Harlow, Anderson .Paak, Tory Lanez, H.E.R., Ella Mai, and more.

Meanwhile, Wizkid is gearing up to drop his new album More Love, Less Ego (MLLE), the follow-up to 2020’s Made in Lagos, later this year.

The Game, Meek Mill Slam Rolling Stone Over Greatest Hip-Hop Albums Snub

The Game wants his flowers.

Earlier this week, Rolling Stone published its list of the 200 Greatest Hip-Hop Albums of All Time and the Compton rapper was nowhere to be found.

Taking to social media, Game put the magazine on blast for omitting his breakout 2005 debut The Documentary from the list, arguing that the album had an undeniable impact on West Coast rap.

“@RollingStone how is ‘The Documentary’ not on the list for 200 Greatest Rap Albums Of All Time ?” he tweeted. “I carried an entire coast for 20 years on the back of my 1st album.”

According to Game, he believes the snub is motivated by industry politics. “Cause I don’t walk red carpets, play dress up, smile or fake laugh at brunches I don’t count ?” he asked.

He also criticized the publication for not understanding hip-hop culture. “1ST THEY STEAL THE CULTURE, THEN THEY DISRESPECT IT,” he added in his caption. “Y’all brains fried af !!! Some things you just gotta laugh at. They’ll try to erase you if you let em.”

Game wasn’t the only one unhappy with the list. Meek Mill also blasted Rolling Stone for omitting him, arguing that the editors who compiled the list were not qualified for the job. “Most of the people that run rap behind the scenes can’t really relate to us …. When y’all make list like these y’all discredit other rappers brands with this bs,” he said in an Instagram Story.

He shared a photo of the magazine’s mostly white “Culture Council,” adding, “They gotta let an all Black team rate the greatest 200 rock albums next… smfh.”

While Game and Meek Mill didn’t make the list, Rolling Stone’s top 10 Greatest Hip-Hop Albums of All Time included Lauryn Hill’s The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp a Butterfly, JAY-Z’s The Blueprint, and The Notorious B.I.G.’s Ready to Die, which topped the list.

On July 1, Game is set to drop his new album Drillmatic, which he has declared the “best album of 2022.” The project is expected to feature a collaboration with Chris Brown and Chloe Bailey that samples Janet Jackson.
