Takeoff And Rick The Kid Flex Their ‘Crypto’ On Their Ambitious Collab

by

Back in 2018, less than a year after they released their third album Culture II, Migos decided that they were going to break off for a brief moment and release solo albums. Quavo dropped Quavo Huncho, Offset delivered Father Of 4, and Takeoff released The Last Rocket. In the grand scheme of things, the projects weren’t as beloved as the Migos projects as they helped to highlight while the group works so well together. Now, almost four years later, there’s no sign that the trio is preparing to release solo projects again, but some, including Takeoff, have released songs as individual artists.

For the first time since he dropped The Last Rocket, Takeoff is back in action as a lone act. With his latest release, he calls on Rich The Kid to join him for “Crypto.” The track is of course focused on cryptocurrency as the rappers flex their wallets and how much they’ve attained. It also arrives with a laid-back video that follows Takeoff and Rich as they walk through city streets and kick it on a plane as they brag about their finances.

The new track comes after Takeoff lent his voice to Roddy Ricch’s sophomore album Live Life Fast where he appeared on “Paid My Dues.” As for Rich The Kid, he recently teamed up with Lil Wayne for their joint project, Trust Fund Babies.

You can listen to “Crypto” in the video above.

Roddy Ricch’s new album, Live Life Fast, drops this Friday, and the latest part of the rollout has arrived: The guest list, which includes collaborators like Future, Lil Baby, and more. Roddy shared the guest list on social media today building on the momentum he created by the trailer he released last week and the cover art, which he shared before that.

In addition to the above-mentioned superstars, the guest list Roddy shared includes names like deadpan Atlanta bogeyman 21 Savage, rising R&B star Alex Isley, alt-R&B singer Bibi Bourelly, Brooklyn drill flag-waver Fivio Foreign, drip purveyor Gunna, the multihyphenate Jamie Foxx, Florida rap rebel Kodak Black, Migos member Takeoff, and LA hook master Ty Dolla Sign. Roddy also showed off the producers at the bottom of the poster he shared: Beezo, Boi 1-Da, Cardo, D Keyz, G-Ry, Heavy Mellow, Jasper Harris, Kenny Beats, Lil CC, Mustard, Rex Kudo, Ronny J, Sonic, Southside, Tarentino, TM88, and Wheezy.

Roddy’s ending the year strong with his new album, much as he did with the release of his debut, Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial. Led by the inescapable lead single “Late At Night,” Live Life Fast is set to launch Roddy into an even higher level of the atmosphere in 2022.

Live Life Fast is due on 12/17 via Atlantic Records.

Migos Defend Their ‘Greatest Band’ Status With An Exuberant Tiny Desk Concert

by

One of the few good things to come out of the 2020 pandemic forcing a near-shutdown of the entertainment industry was NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts series moving to its “At Home” format, which opened up the concept and allowed more artists who wouldn’t have normally been able to perform due to travel and other commitments to turn in some of the best shows in the series’ history. For instance, Vince Staples and Young Thug both recently put in performances that highlighted new and upcoming releases with utterly magnetic charisma and arrangements.

Migos, the Atlanta-based trio who built their brand with exuberant performances over the past five years, is the latest example, appearing on the latest Tiny Desk Concert from what looks like one of the guys’ living rooms. Playing a three-song set from their new album Culture III including “Avalanche,” “Straightenin,” and “Happy Birthday,” Migos assert their claim for “greatest band in the world,” starting out on the couch and eventually filling the room with palpable, infectious energy.

In addition to a spate of videos for songs like “Roadrunner” and “Why Not,” Migos also have a three-day Las Vegas weekender planned for October to promote the album.
