Nigo And Young Thug Show Off Their ‘Dope Boy’ Fly With Their New Fashion-Forward Collab

September 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While the YSL RICO trial has been filled with unexpected twists and turns, music releases from Young Thug have been steady and seamless.

Today (September 27), yet another special guest verse from Young Thug hit streaming platforms, this time courtesy of Nigo’s “Dope Boy.” The track proves that Lil Uzi Vert isn’t the only rapper with endless fashion.

On the record, Young Thug shows off his eye for designer duds and extravagant jewelry, a.k.a the quintessential dope boy fly uniform.

“Dope boy Nike, spikes, they can’t spy, kid / Lawnmower service, I ain’t have to sell white-tee’s / Orange and blue Richard Mille, feel like Spike Lee / Put my daughter in Fendi blankets when she night-nighty,” raps Young Thug.

Although the song only runs for a little over a minute and a half, that’s just enough of a treat to hold Young Thug fans over. Also, it is unclear if this song is the starting point for Young Thug’s next full-length project.

If not, that doesn’t matter much, as Young Thug fans are still running up the streaming numbers on beloved his 2023 release, Business Is Business, which featured appearances by Drake, Future, 21 Savage, Travis Scott, and more.

Listen to Nigo’s new song “Dope Boy” with Young Thug above.

Kid Cudi & Nigo’s WZRD CWBY Fashion Collab “Coming Soon”

October 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In the world of creative expression, it’s rare to see people sticking exclusively to one lane. Those who start out as an actor may later venture into politics or music. Elsewhere, there’s no shortage of lyricists who we’ve seen dabble in fashion and beauty. The latest star to announce a clothing brand that’s been long in the works is Kid Cudi. He’s joined forces with Japanese superstar Nigo to merge their far-out-thinking minds like never before.

The multi-talented duo first met after Scott Mescudi was hired to work at the BAPE store in New York City. Since then, he’s come a long way in earning Nigo’s respect as a friend and collaborator. On Sunday (October 8), the X actor posted a radian new selfie to his Instagram feed. It markedly gives followers a look at his design skills. “WZRD CWBY. A new brand by Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi, in collaboration with @nigo,” Cudi wrote in his caption.

Besides that, details are mostly sparse at this time, though the fashion lover did share that the products are being made in Tokyo, and will be “coming soon.” Mescudi has long been a lover of clothing and expressing himself through his outfits. Back in the summer, a London department store launched its Members of Rage brand, which has been described as “90s grunge with the soul of hip hop and elements from a distant future,” as HipHopDX reports.

As one of Kid Cudi’s followers pointed out in the comment section of his post, he promised that 2023 would be a huge year, and he’s certainly delivered. “A movie, an album, a Fortnite collab with a big franchise, a Calvin Klein collab, a shoe collab, and now a new clothing brand,” they wrote. On top of all of that, the “Mr. Rager” artist also announced an intimate concert series earlier this month, which you can read all about at the link below.

Pusha T Stacks His Bricks High With Nigo In Their Sinister Video For ‘Hear Me Clearly’

March 30, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Pusha T’s been having a great 2022 year so far. He kicked it off by releasing “Diet Coke,” his first official single since the summer of 2019. The track was co-produced by Kanye West and 88 Keys and it also arrived with a black and white video that featured Pusha and Kanye dancing together. The song was the presumed lead single from his upcoming fourth solo album It’s Not Dry Yet, but before giving us more music from that project, Pusha teamed up with DJ and fashion designer Nigo for their song “Hear Me Clearly,” which they just released a music video for.

The new visual for “Hear Me Clearly” is led by Pusha and it kicks off with him walking onto what seems like a normal construction site. Soon, we see that the site is actually a drug operation center and it’s one that Pusha seems to be in charge of. For the remainder of the video, Pusha stacks his collections of drugs high while enjoying his time with friends and a cast of women.

“Hear Me Clearly” was one of four singles that was released prior to the arrival of Nigo’s sophomore album I Know Nigo! The project dropped with 11 songs and features from Tyler The Creator, ASAP Rocky, Gunna, Pharrell, Lil Uzi Vert, Kid Cudi, and more.

You can watch the video for “Hear Me Clearly” above.

I Know NIGO! is out now via Republic Records. You can stream it here.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
