Of all the co-signs a rising artist could receive, the most coveted is still Drake’s — just look at the response to his remix of 4Batz’s breakout song “Act II: Date @ 8.” Even Kendrick Lamar, who is apparently dead set on going at Drake’s neck lately, owes at least some of his popularity to appearing on the Canadian rapper’s second album.

However that particular situation turns out, Drake hasn’t stopped sharing his platform with up-and-coming artists. The latest to receive his coveted co-sign is Flint, Michigan’s Bfb Da Packman. Drake appears on the tracklist of Packman’s upcoming album Forget Me Not, which he shared via social media on Monday (March 25).

In addition to Drake, Forget Me Not will feature guest appearances from many of Bfb Da Packman’s fellow Michigan natives, includine DDG, Icewear Vezzo, Rio Da Yung OG, Skilla Baby, and Yhung T.O.. West Coast rap impressionist 03 Greedo also makes an appearance, further strengthening the longstanding bond between the Motor City and the Golden State.

Drake’s impending appearance on Packman’s album is already generating plenty of buzz online, as fans of the underground rapper anticipate a glowup of similar proportions to all those who have tapped the reigning star of hip-hop on past projects like Lil Baby, Migos, and more.

Forget Me Not is out on 3/29 via Sony.

Rio Da Yung OG Releases “The F Tape”

by

Rio Da Yung OG is back outside, musically (free Rio). While the Flint rapper might still be in prison, he’s been busy in the studio. After being sentenced to five years for intent to distribute a controlled substance and an illegal firearm, Rio’s still putting out music. Not only that, Rio Da Yung has released another EP, The F Tape. The wild Detroit lyricist put out a six-track EP and wasted no time talking his talk.

Furthermore, it’s been two years since we’ve heard from Da Yung OG (for obvious reasons). In 2021, Rio Da Yung OG dropped Fiend Lives Matter while still amid his conviction. During that time it was the only solo effort he dropped aside from his slew of features with other Detroit rappers and even traded bars with Lil Yachty on “Royal Rumble.” The seven-track EP was filled with wild production and even wilder lyrics from Rio Da Yung OG. Additionally, his hilarious references to the not-so-hilarious street life realities make Da Yung OG’s music that much more enjoyable. As listeners, we’re suckers for someone who can turn their pain into something lighthearted.

Rio Da Yung OG Drops New EP

With The F Tape, Rio Da Yung OG sticks to the formula of talking crazy on wax. So much so that his lead single was titled “Talkin’ Crazy.” In the two years that we haven’t heard from Rio, it’s refreshing to hear from him again. Since dropping Fiend Lives Matter, Rio Da Yung OG only had a couple of singles out before releasing his new EP. The six-track EP gives you everything you would expect from a Rio Tape. Flexing money, dope selling, and flat-out debauchery are all over this EP.

Some of his most outrageous bars can be found in the last track “In The Bay.” It definitely takes more than a few listens to catch some of these bars. Rio has been incarcerated for two years now. In three more years, he’ll be out and hopefully, we’ll get more music from the Flint rhymer. What do you think of the Yung OG? Have you listened to The F Tape yet? Let the HNHH Crew what you think in the comments below!

Quotable Lyrics:

Hit your block with a K with the scope, call it sightseeing
I don’t think I’m from this planet, I’m an astronaut
I’ll throw my whole career away, bro, pass the Glock

Lil Yachty, Icewear Vezzo, And Rio Da Yung OG Serve Up A Greyscale Video For The Hard-Hitting ‘Plastic’

by

Lil Yachty has been extremely busy for well over a year now and all that’s added up to the strong comeback he’s made since the release of Lil Boat 3 last spring. More than a year later, Yachty returned with a brand new project, Michigan Boy Boat, an effort that saw him working with some of the best rising and established rappers from the state’s Detroit and Flint areas. A month removed from the mixtape’s release, Yachty continues its promotional run with a brand new video for “Plastic.”

In it, Yachty is accompanied by Icewear Vezzo and Rio Da Yung OG, rappers who both appear on the song, as well as members of his decently-sized crew. The greyscale visual features the group in a fairly laid-back state as they lounge and kick it in a room together. Clips of them recording music and spending time at a strip club also appear throughout the video.

Prior to dropping Michigan Boy Boat, Yachty extended his Lil Boat 3 project with new songs and later shared videos for tracks like “In My Stussy’s” and “Asshole.” He also flexed some freestyle skills in a visual for “Cortex” which came after he was confirmed to appear in the upcoming season of Lil Dicky’s show, Dave which premieres next month on June 16.
