Lil Uzi Vert Hints At Possible Collabs

Earlier this week, the artist hopped on Instagram Live to further hype the new album, previewing some unreleased music. DJ Akademiks also recently revealed that Travis Scott is set to be featured on The Pink Tape, describing the collaboration as “fire.” They’re keeping the project under wraps for now, however, by wearing a USB around their neck.

Lil Uzi Vert has also shared that they were sober throughout the recording process of the new album.  “It was challenging at first. But then after probably after a month, I got used to it,” Uzi told TMZ. “I thought that my creative process wasn’t going to be the same because I wasn’t on drugs no more. It was the same. Even better. Because I could think more clear and I could actually, like, instead of my words slurring, which is kinda of cool, everything made sense. I didn’t just make random music. How can I say? I didn’t play off the beat. I actually made song with topics this time.”

New Doja Cat Music Is Coming This Week

Last month, Doja opened up about the title of her upcoming album during an interview with Insider. She had previously announced to social media that the album’s title would be Hellmouth, later changing it to First Of All before claiming that it would actually be neither. Doja cited her ADHD as a factor in her changing her mind on the title various times. Insider asked the performer how she comes up with her album titles, to which she replied, “Good God. I don’t know.” She went on to reveal, “I put my ADHD kind of on display — by accident, I guess.”

Doja Cat continued, “I thought that ‘Hellmouth’ was the name of the album, but then it wasn’t. But I’m good at doing things last minute. So I’ve been firing off random stuff and reading comments and seeing how people receive it and then, you know, saying ‘no’ a lot. Just kidding.” She later revealed, “I do think that I finally have a title,” noting, “It’s not ‘First of All.’”

Uzi has been teasing The Pink Tape since at least 2021, although their updates have gotten more frequent in recent months. Back in March, Uzi revealed to TMZ that they were sober for the recording of the project. “It was challenging at first. But then after probably after a month, I got used to it,” Uzi said. “I thought that my creative process wasn’t going to be the same because I wasn’t on drugs no more. It was the same. Even better. Because I could think more clear and I could actually, like, instead of my words slurring, which is kinda of cool, everything made sense. I didn’t just make random music. How can I say?

Coi Leray Teases Twerk-Filled “Bops” Music Video Coming Soon

by

Coi Leray season is only just beginning, but already, the 25-year-old has impressed us with her plans for the future. Earlier this week, she confirmed that her follow-up to last year’s Trendsetter album is officially on the way, following the arrival of singles like “Players,” “My Body,” and “Bops” earlier this year. The project is titled COI, and while we don’t know who she’ll be collaborating with this time around, we did see her channel Lil’ Kim in what appears to be the cover photo for the upcoming release.

Upon confirming that the album will arrive on June 23, Leray also previewed another title from the tracklist, “Make My Day.” On this, she samples a throwback classic, “Pump Up The Jam,” which has earned her some backlash online. Regardless of what the critics have to say, the Boston baddie seems more confident than ever in the body of work she’s about to put out. On Friday (May 19), Coi took some time to answer fan questions on Twitter, many of which were about accompanying visuals for her latest singles.

Coi Leray Gives an Update on “Bops” Visual

“I love this! So excited! Now where is the [music video] for ‘Bops,’ Miss Leray?” one user asked in response to the “TWINNEM” hitmaker’s album announcement. Rather than just verbally promising that it’s on the way, Coi provided a photo of her on set, proving that there’s sure to be plenty of twerking (as she’s become known for) as she bends over in a pair of booty shorts for the camera to capture.

Apart from preparing to drop her sophomore project in little more than a month, the fashionista also took to the stage at Montreal’s Metro Metro festival on Friday afternoon, at which time the crowd was happily jumping along to some of her biggest hits.

Travis Barker’s Teen Daughter Alabama Compared To Rubi Rose After Previewing New Rap Song

by

Just because her father, Travis Barker, is the drummer for one of the most famous rock bands in the world doesn’t mean that 17-year-old Alabama Barker has similar aspirations for her own future. Rather, she seems to have her heart set on pursuing a career in rap music. It’s something she’s been plenty of work into as of late, even after previously facing criticism. Following a few studio sessions, the blonde beauty assembled a song which she finally felt ready to share with fans during a TikTok live stream over the weekend.

Rather than focus on her life growing up in the spotlight and wealthy in Calabasas, the teen instead told the story of someone struggling to make their dreams come true with her lyrics. “He told me I’m not gonna make it / I told him you crazy,” she lip-synced along while previewing her song for viewers. “My name is exotic / I get foreign texts when they pay me.” As expected, social media has had plenty to say about Barker’s unnamed song, most of it dissing her.

Alabama Barker Teases Upcoming Music

“What’s funny about Alabama Barker’s lil rap is that if she was rapping about being rich and nepo baby it might actually be enjoyable,” one Twitter user shared their opinion. “[Instead] she over here talking like she came from the gutter or something.” Another person chimed in with, “Alabama Barker done morphed into a light-skinned Rubi Rose,” comparing Travis’ daughter to the Kentucky-born lyricist.

Elsewhere, someone pointed out the irony of Willow Smith, born to a rapper father, making rock bangers while Alabama – daughter to one of the most well-known rockers of all time – is pursuing her aspirations of rap, or “mediocre SoundCloud bops,” as OP put it. “Is this the ‘balance’ that Thanos wanted?” they asked, referring to the infamous Marvel supervillain. Scroll on to read more of the mixed Twitter reactions to Alabama Barker’s latest musical work. Afterward, tell us if you’re interested in hearing more from the nepo baby’s studio sessions in the comments.

The Weeknd Teases New Future Collab, Fans Say It’s “About To Be The Most Toxic Track Of The Century”

by

The Weeknd’s primary focus over the past few months has been his forthcoming HBO series, The Idol, but on Monday (April 10) night, the Canadian made it clear that he’s back in the studio working on his music. In fact, he’s got an incredible-sounding new collaboration with Future in the works, which he teased during last night’s Instagram Live session. During his stream, Abel Tesfaye confirmed that Mike Dean is responsible for the song’s production, which pairs perfectly with his beautiful vocals.

“Baby girl, I can tell that you think that I’m right for you / I already know that it’s not true, but girl I lie to you / Even though it’s wrong,” the R&B vocalist sings on the unnamed, unreleased joint effort. An official release date remains unknown at this time, though social media users have already declared it “the most toxic track of the century.” Elsewhere in the comments, someone pointed out that “Drake, Future, and The Weeknd world tour would do Celine Dion numbers.”

The Weeknd Previews Upcoming Music With Future on Live

Of course, this won’t be the first time we hear Hendrix and the Uncut Gems actor on the same beat. Their past collaborations include titles like “Low Life” from Future’s EVOL project, “Comin Out Strong” from his HNDRXX effort, and “All I Know,” which appears on the Toronto native’s Starboy. Seeing as all of those have gone on to find major success with listeners, it’s not shocking to see them connecting in the studio once again in hopes of making magic.

It remains unclear if Tesfaye is currently working on his follow-up to 2022’s DAWN FM, or if he’s simply experimenting with new sounds in the meantime. His most recent arrivals include “Nothing Is Lost (You Give Me Strength)” from the Avatar 2 soundtrack, as well as his Live At SoFi Stadium and Starboy (Deluxe) from earlier this year. Revisit one of The Weeknd and Future’s most popular past releases below, and make sure to check back later for more hip-hop and pop culture news updates.

Lil Yachty Teases New Music Dropping This Friday

by

We’re already a quarter of the way through 2023, and so far, the year has seen the arrival of some undeniably awesome music from artists of practically every genre. Back in January, Lil Yachty surprised fans by switching up his sound on Let’s Start Here., on which he delivered an impressive 14 featureless tracks. Some favourites from the project are “drive ME crazy!” and “the BLACK seminole.,” both of which the rapper performed during his iconic appearance on Saturday Night Live this past weekend. Aside from those titles, listeners have also been loving “pRETTy,” “sAy sOMETHINg,” and “the ride-.”

After giving his fifth studio album some time to digest, Yachty finally announced his return via Instagram on Tuesday (April 4). This afternoon, he unveiled the cover art for an upcoming single, seemingly called “Strike (Holster),” on social media. At the same time, he also confirmed that the track will arrive on DSPs this coming Friday (April 7). In the song’s close-up image, we see a man’s face baring his gold-cap-covered teeth, potentially hinting at some angsty-but-braggadocious vibes on the upcoming release.

Lil Boat Comes Through for New Music Friday

While details surrounding the quickly approaching single remain sparse at this time, fans have made it known in the comments that they’re eager to hear Lil Boat’s latest work. Producer Zack Bia also dropped by the replies to tease more heat coming to us in the future, writing, “Wait ’til they hear what else you got in the vault.” Another artist, Teddy Walton, acknowledged Yachty’s more recent experimental vibes with his response. “We bout to switch the sound,” he noted, generating even more excitement about the upcoming track.

Since the arrival of Let’s Start Here., Lil Yachty has been laying relatively low musically. However, he did make an appearance on Cash Cobain’s “NO MORE BODIES” this past weekend – a collaboration that’s been earning him plenty of flowers online. Check out the new single for yourself below, and let us know if you’re excited for “Strike (Holster)” to land on streamers in the comments.
