One of the hottest rappers in the world right now, Chicago drill star Lil Durk is back with yet another feature on buzzing Detroit artist Tay B’s new single “Stashbox”.

Tay B has been making noise locally for a minute but he’s about to make a larger splash, coming through with his latest single, which is likely to become his biggest song yet. “Stashbox” features Lil Durk, who has been going on quite the run as of late. The single is accompanied by a brand new music video, directed by Jerry Productions. It tells the story of misplaced anger and rage, as well as the feeling of being misunderstood as a whole. 

Durkio makes an appearance in the video, helping Tay B tell the story with striking visuals.

Quotable Lyrics:

And I’m a bougie street n***a, I had bad thots
He swung the dough and put a nickel in his dreadlocks
My n***as junkies, mixin’ Percocets and pink Runtz
That sh*t be crazy, goin’ federal for street money

Shelley FKA DRAM has left fans waiting for the full-length follow-up to his debut album Big Baby DRAM since 2016, and five years (and a name change) later, the artist is finally gearing up to give fans his sophomore album. Titled to reflect his new stage name, Shelly FKA DRAM the album arrives on April 16, 2021. Weeks ahead of its release, Shelley has dropped the project’s second official single, the velvety R&B cut “Cooking With Grease.”

Arriving exactly a month after Shelley FKA DRAM‘s first single “Exposure,” this three-minute track is a sensual and smooth new effort from Shelley that’s a must-add to your R&B playlists. “Cooking With Grease” is a suggestive ballad that finds Shelley tempting a love interest by bragging about his superior love-making abilities, and the playful and infectious new single is a welcomed release from the LVRN artist. The sultry cut also arrives alongside a music video that pulls inspiration from late-night shows, and in the video, Shelley stars as the fictional show’s host as well as its guest performer. 

Check out the music video for Shelley FKA DRAM’s new single “Cooking With Grease” below.

Quotable Lyrics

I feel used and abused
So I started doing it too
But I never did it to you, oh no, oh no
So why you do it to me, baby?
Sounds so stupid to me

Today, Young Dolph and Key Glock have officially dropped the second chapter of their Dum & Dummer saga, a hard-hitting collaborative effort you can stream in full right here. In honor of the big release, Dolph and Glock has come through with some new visuals for the project’s introductory cut “Penguins.” 

Over a spooky sci-fi banger laced by BandPlay, Key Glock immediately establishes exactly what they have in common with the beloved snow-dwelling bird. “Yeah, that ni*ga froze, uh,” he raps. “Yellow diamonds on me, but everything still on go / couple rappers do not like me ’cause I fucked they ho.” Dolph slides through to close out the track, his commanding baritone imbuing every line with additional menace. “I went to school with a bowl, before lunchtime, I had it sold / I ain’t surprised that boy a rat, I remember, eleventh grade, he told,” he raps. “Had all the bitches doing my work for me, was too busy sellin’ O’s.”

If you like what you hear on “Penguin,” consider that it’s only the tip of the iceberg where Dum & Dummer 2 is concerned. Check it out for yourself right here.

Alabama rapper NoCap and Baton Rouge artist Youngboy Never Broke Again are both in difficult predicaments right now. The two incarcerated rappers are waiting for their freedom days to come as they both continue to struggle with legal issues. Throughout NoCap’s career, the 22-year-old artist has been in-and-out of jail, never getting a fair shot at succeeding in music. Youngboy Never Broke Again has reached superstar status but the 21-year-old continues to find his way into trouble, most recently getting arrested on Monday on two charges of possession of a firearm as a felon.

Hip-hop fans across the world are hoping for these two young rappers to be freed in the coming weeks and as we continue to wait for the good news, NoCap has officially released his latest single “38Sides” with NBA Youngboy.

The two clearly have strong chemistry, having worked together countless times in the past as part of the Never Broke Again collective. NoCap has a long history with Youngboy. With them both facing tough spots in jail, a new collaboration is only right.

Listen to “38Sides” below, where they bounce off each other seamlessly over Al Geno production.

Quotable Lyrics:

That broke sh*t like a virus, n***as don’t wanna come near it
Hellcat switching lanes, drive this b*tch just like a Cherokee
Something finna change, I just bought that hoe some Tiffany
No, I’m not a rapper, I’m just talking with some melody
Ain’t talking on no Apple phone, police tryna bury me

Justin Bieber is no stranger to the world of hip-hop. In fact, the man occasionally known as Bugatti Biebs recently shared his top five list of emcees, naming Lil Wayne, Biggie, Eminem, Drake, and Kanye West. While he ultimately didn’t collaborate with any of them on his brand new Justice Deluxe, he did tap Lil Uzi Vert for a collaborative turn on “There She Go.” 

As might have been expected, the track is relatively breezy, given a bit of additional character through an interesting electric guitar section. “That’s my baby, that’s my best friend,” sings Biebs. “I hear you callin’, see you ringing from your left hand / locked it down when you wanted, that hopeless romance.” Though Uzi may not be quite so enamored as his Canadian counterpart, he certainly sells his part with conviction. “There she go, lookin’ like a shinin’ star now,” he sings. “I’m takin’ time out just to figure out your heart now / I’m feelin’ different every time I hear your heart pound.” 

For those who enjoy a little bit of easy-listening pop music now and again, consider checking out “There She Go” right now, and sound off if you’ve been digging Bieber’s new sound.

You can break it down, you don’t need a pole
I’m so proud of you, I bust you down in rose gold
Don’t be ashamed, girl, I messed around, you messed up too
It all changed when you took my name and went insane

In the span of a month, Kenny Mason has treated his fans with three incomparable singles as well as announced Supercut, his highly-anticipated follow-up to his acclaimed 2020 full-length debut Angelic Hoodrat. Starting with “Partments” in February and doubling back with “Pup” earlier this month, Kenny Mason has been heading full speed ahead in his unique genre-bending direction, and with his latest release, it’s evident that the rising Atlanta artist has no plan to ditch his rap-rock aesthetic anytime soon.

Sonically, “Play Ball” is perhaps the brightest single that Kenny Mason has dropped so far this year, but the pop-rock production is utterly misleading, as throughout the nearly three-minute track finds the Angelic Hoodrat talking about the violence and confrontation that he has experienced in his community. In addition to tying into the artist’s recurring dog theme, the song’s title also reflects Mason’s menacing challenge for his opposition to go ahead and try him. From singing about his gun to rapping about robbing unsuspecting victims, Kenny Mason’s new single “Play Ball” is a welcomed addition to his catalogue, and it’s the perfect representation of the duality that Mason’s music has embraced as of late. 

Quotable Lyrics

Life of a rough neck, die for my respect
Y’all n*ggas suspect, lie to get success
Lot of these n*ggas is lottery tickets in my hood
Inspirin’ me to jug, who ’bout to slip up next?
Knew how the spot rookies without looking work
B*tch I took it, No retaliation ’cause y’all p*ssy

24kGoldn’s new album El Dorado has officially dropped in full, featuring guest appearances from DaBaby, Swae Lee, Iann Dior, and Future. While there are plenty of standout tracks to unpack throughout, it’s hard to resist the allure of a HNDRXX feature, and “Company” happens to be an early-album standout. Over a melodic and up-tempo guitar-driven instrumental, fingerpicked in the same style as Lil Baby and Gunna’s “Drip Too Hard,” 24k and Future slide through in their melodic bag.

Setting it off is 24k, who proceeds to snap in his own fashion. “You know it’s more fun when you papered out,” he raps in a singsong cadence. “I need a biddy to show me some titties / the real definition of hangin’ out.” You already know that Future is going to go in, given the tone of the instrumental, and he doesn’t disappoint. “Came out the bottom like 400 Juvie, put a switch on it and go make a movie,” he raps. “Trippin’ off ecstasy, I’m totally polluted / Bitches on bitches, they done my recruitin’.”

Kodak Black is back, and is currently sitting on a vault of unreleased material that’s approximately 167-songs deep. While it’s uncertain as to when he’ll set out to deliver his proper studio follow-up to 2018’s Dying To Live, Kodak has come through with a new posse cut, enlisting his squad for “Righteous Reapers.” Joining him on the guitar-driven track are Sykobob, WizDaWizard, and Wam SpinThaBin, all of whom contribute to the track’s menacing atmosphere. 

Though still a young man, Kodak’s experience both in the studio and beyond give him the presence of a veteran, noticeable once he slides in to start rapping. “I’m militant, lil n***a playin with my talk I get him spent,” he spits, firing off a rapid-fire flow. “I ain’t ever duck, ain’t scared of nothin, but I’m bulletproof like 50 Cent.” Fans of the Florida hip-hop scene would be wise to check this one out, as “Righteous Reapers” is a refreshing mix of raw street lyricism and charisma; it would be interesting to see how these four might fare in a mixtape setting, as this new posse cut is certainly a promising start.

I’m militant and a nigga playin’ with my talk, I get him spent

My lil boo on PS2, got shooters ridin’ and providin’

Pacman Da Gunman has returned with his latest drop “Zero Tolerance,” a west coast posse cut featuring Mozzy and a posthumous verse from Nipsey Hussle. Obviously, Hussle’s presence will be a major selling point for many, and he certainly doesn’t disappoint.

Charged with opening things up with the chorus, Nip brings a commanding presence to the sparse and threatening instrumental. “Don’t even try I know you n***as too well,” he raps, holding it down for the second verse. “What’s the chance while pumping gas you catch me slippin’ at Shell / I can’t respect you if you in it for thrills.” Pacman keeps stride with his own verse, shrugging off the constant struggle to keep a grounded moral compass. “My conscious begging for murder it’s potent when I’m drinking,” he raps. “My losses made me a savage convert me to a demon.”

Charged with closing “Zero Tolerance” out, Mozzy slides in with a quicker flow, taking aim at snakes in the grass in his opening bars. “You ain’t get to disrespect the dead unless you killed a n***a,” he warns. “They ain’t close their mouth when apprehended, I ain’t feel them n***as / pivot ain’t respected, n***as out here cutting deals with bitches.”

Check out the track for yourself now, and show some love to Pacman, Nipsey, and Mozzy in the comments below.

It looks like Internet Money has its next big hit following the success of last year’s “Lemonade”. The Los Angeles-based production collective has a team of talented musicians under its wing, including Nick Mira and Taz Taylor, who have proudly put Internet Money on their back since day one. They’ve worked with a gaggle of upcoming rap stars, finding success previously with Lil Mosey and Lil Tecca. They’ve been working on their next single for a number of months now and, finally, they’re ready to unleash it to the world with the release of “JETSKI”.

With the right treatment on the promotional side, Internet Money’s new song “JETSKI” has all the makings of a smash hit. It could do wonders to cement the careers of Lil Mosey and Lil Tecca as superstars for years to come, as well. The bouncy new record comes with a similar song structure to “Lemonade” so the collective surely knows they’ve got a formula that they need to stick to.

Quotable Lyrics:

Damn, this money knee-high, catch me in Ibiza
Don’t know where I’m goin’ but I’m flyin’ in a G5
Gucci and Dior on me, feel like I’m in a beehive
Diamonds on me flash so hard, you cannot see now
