Yung Kayo Presents Some “Holy Grails” On His Latest Mixtape

by

One of Young Thug’s newer students and YSL signees, Yung Kayo, is here this weekend with a new mixtape. For hardcore fans of the Washington D.C. native, this should be an exciting release. The reason being is based on the origins of the 16 tracks here. According to the Genius annotation for Holy Grails, these are all some highly sought after snippets and teasers from a couple of years ago. Specifically, they were concocted just a little before Yung Kayo dropped off his debut album, DFTK. This makes Holy Grails just his second LP so far, but he’s apparently got a ton more on deck. We say that because the details are unconfirmed, but the sources are there to give some validity to these notes.

What we know is that Komodo was actually going to be his next project and classified as an album. Moreover, it was apparently supposed to arrive this month. Instead, we have Holy Grails, so the former is on the shelf, for now anyway. But there are more coming at some point, including dbno, free slime, and free yak. That information was revealed in a now deleted Instagram post as of October 28. Fans will surely eat this up in the meantime though, even though it seems as if it’s more of a bridging project. There are some crazy futuristic beats, with some samples from bigger names like Lil Uzi Vert. Check out Holy Grails with the links below.

Yungeen Ace Responds To Those Against Him On Second 2024 Tape “I Control My Destiny”

by

“I put my all in this project. I know ppl praying I fail or be in a casket or cell, but I’m destined for greatness… hope yall been waiting to hear from me. Album out now I Control My destiny.” That is Yungeen Ace about his newest album, which hit streaming platforms this weekend. It’s his second of 2024, and it follows up on his March 29 release, Forgotten Star. New music has not been the only headline surrounding the Jacksonville, Florida rapper and singer, though. It’s actually been quite the controversial stretch for him, as he has been involving himself with his late Florida contemporary, Foolio.

He’s been on the receiving end of a lot of hate thanks to a pair of diss tracks toward the latter. Both “Do It” and “Game Over” came across as very distasteful and they seem to suggest that he was the one who put the hit on Foolio. It actually led to allegations against him, and a few suspects are currently in custody. Things are still not sorted out as of yet, and it looks like it will take some time before justice is served to the MC’s family and friends. Still, Ace decided to include those two direct diss records on I Control My Destiny, maybe to create some extra buzz around it. There are some solid cuts, as this tape sees him opening up more. But overall, it’s still an interesting and contentious vibe surrounding Yungeen Ace.

BossMan Dlow Debuts A Different Flow On “The Biggest Pt. 2”

by

BossMan Dlow has been racking up the achievements like the Infinity Stones in 2024. He’s a XXL Freshman, a BET “Best New Artist” nominee, and he’s racked plaques on plaques very early on. He’s accomplished all of this by adopting the off-kilter style of the Florida hip-hop scene with some pretty unique flows. There has been some chatter, however, regarding his approach to each record. There is a saying that goes, “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.” But hardcore music fans always appreciate when artists take risks and step outside of their comfort zones.

BossMan Dlow is doing that to some extent on his newest release, “The Biggest Pt. 2.” Topically, the Florida rapper isn’t straying away from what he knows. Those focal points include brags, money, women, and violence. However, the changes are coming on the technical side. Dlow is matching the tempo of the beat more on this cut and getting playful at times with his delivery. That’s especially the case on the first verse during the bars that are below. Given the title, “The Biggest Pt. 2” is a sequel track. The first of these songs landed on BossMan’s 2022 debut project, Too Slippery. The “Get In With Me” hitmaker is also apparently in “album mode,” — via his IG Story– so it looks like we got another LP inbound.

Quotable Lyrics:

Anytime the crackers lock me up, I post bond (I post bond)
Ain’t no discussion, p**sy n****, I’m him (I’m him)
I’ma get some money, baby, I ain’t one of them (I ain’t one of them)
Wanna shop with me? Gotta smoke it out the stem

Morray Looks To Make It “Out The Hole” On Motivational New Single

by

Despite the low output, Fayetteville, North Carolina singer and rapper Morray is an exciting talent. Most may remember him from his uplifting feature on J. Cole’s “m y . l i f e” from The Off-Season. However, he’s been on plenty of other major projects like ones from Macklemore, Busta Rhymes, as well on the soundtracks for Creed III and Madden NFL 22. But as we said, the solo catalog remains pretty short, as he has dropped just one album which landed in 2021. Hopefully, though, Morray is working toward ending the drought with “Out The Hole” being a potential sign of that.

This is the EMPIRE affiliate’s third release of the year, with the previous two dropping on YouTube exclusively. Morray is known for his preacher-like voice and inspirational messages. “Out The Hole” provides more of those trademark qualities in addition to his singing and rapping style. Over a southern-style beat, Morray belts out lines about how much he’s improved his life over the years. The chorus is especially an amazing display of his vocal range, as he raps, “From the bottom to the top, a n**** made it out of the motherf***in’ ho-o-ole / Blue car, big crib, this ain’t how I used to live, n****, no-oh-oh / You be actin’ like you n****s know, but you n****s don’t really f***in’ know-oh-oh.” If you’re in the market for some empowerment this song has it in a surplus amount.

Quotable Lyrics:

Had to learn to be asserted when it come to them bands
N****s be tryna find the exit after gettin’ the grand, it’s big
Loyalty shouldn’t come with no price

But can’t bake they own cake, so I ain’t givin’ up mine
Be Tony Hawk, get on board, n****, learn how to grind (Whoa-oh-oh)

BlakeIana Is “Back In The Field” On Her Debut Mixtape

by

BlakeIANA is heading out and seeking to cause some problems with her first-ever long play, Back In The Field. It’s being billed as the St. Louis, Missouri native’s inaugural mixtape, which we think was a smart marketing move. The project doesn’t really follow a story nor does it aim to create one. It’s here for one thing and that’s to announce that BlakeIANA is trying to put her stamp on 2024 and beyond as a femcee not to play with. It was only a matter of time before something like would arrive, especially given the reception and backing from her peers and fans. From the release of her breakout hit “BING BONG” and its remix with Sexyy Red, she’s done nothing but ascend.

Speaking of the latter with her dastardly twin, it serves as the lead single for Back In The Field. Other teasers include “STL Finest,” “Pricey” with Moneybagg Yo, “See Us” featuring Skilla Baby, “Problem,” and “B.B.F.” BlakeIANA would even go on to give fans a pre-midnight two pack of “Right Now” and “Benefits” both of which include features from Hunxho and Tee Grizzley in particular. It might leave some wanting more in terms of fresh material but given where she’s at right now in her career, the more exposure the better. See what BlakeIANA has to offer the ratchet rap lane with the links below.

DDG & Real Boston Richey Hype Their Ladies Up On “What U Bad For”

by

If you have been keeping an eye on DDG’s movement online lately, a lot of it has been related to Halle Bailey. The Michigan native has clearly not been okay since the breakup last month, even saying so himself. On a recent Q&A livestream, the rapper and YouTuber was asked about moving on and seeing someone new. He quickly shut that down, saying, “No, I’m not dating. I haven’t moved on.” Given how fresh it is, it makes a lot of sense. A lot of people have not been the kindest to him since their falling out, assuming he was at fault.

However, on his new single with Real Boston Richey, “WHAT U BAD FOR,” DDG is addressing that very topic, as well as where his mind is at regarding Halle. “Yeah, they cappin’ and s*** on the blogs, they think I’m a bum, but f*** that s*** / I like when they countin’ me out, ’cause I know I’m that n****, I love that s***.” He then adds, “Thing about Halo mommy, you know that’s my baby forever, y’all know that I love that— (Go).” Whether or not this anthem for the baddies was just a vehicle to drop these bars in will remain a mystery. But if it was, it’s certainly doing its job at creating some conversation.

Prolly be single like DDG, I tried to f*** my b**** wit’ a condom

N**** ain’t bought you shit in six months, how the f*** you goin’ for that?
N**** done offered two K for the p**sy, b****, you goin’ for that?

Maxo Kream Showcases Three Unique Perspectives On “Personification”

by

Maxo Kream has brought us Personification, his fourth official album of his underappreciated career. The Houston storyteller had given us several potential glimpses into this project throughout the year. At times, they were extremely hard-hitting and personal. “No Then You A H*e” still holds the top spot in terms of our favorite Maxo tracks from 2024. However, the episodic recalling on “Big H*e Me” is certainly in contention as well. But instead of continuing to hone his already well-established tracks in this vein, he’s been giving us some more loose bangers such as “Bang The Bus” too. This diversity is something that Maxo Kream was looking to achieve on this new album.

There are three perspectives that he raps from on Personification and they are Trigger Maxo, Punken, and Emekwanem. Trigger is the more brash and gangster-like profile, so “Big H*e Me.” As for Punken, a reference to his fourth overall project, is the more introspective and thought-provoking side. Then, there’s the latter which is his government name, and it represents his current lifestyle as a father and role model of sorts. The overall idea of Personification is an interesting one, however, it doesn’t feel fully realized. Maybe dividing the personas into discs may have helped get the idea across more effectively as all of them feel jumbled together. But there are good tracks that most fans will appreciate.

Lil Baby Wants To Give His Girl Everything And Then Some On “Insecurities”

by

Lil Baby is promising his hungry fans a special run going forward, and that includes a new album. The Quality Control signee and Georgia native did so via a fiery Instagram post, writing, “Ain’t It Crazy How They Tryna Play Me Like I Ain’t The One 😤😤!!! It’s That Time! I Would Say Again But This Run Will Be Totally Different!! I Had The Darkest Period Of My Life These Last Two Years But I Stayed Down And Overcame That S*** 🙏🏾 Now I’m Back To Fu*cin S*** Up As Usual…, Sincerely Wham!! WHAM (Who Hard As Me) currently doesn’t have a release date, but Genius is expecting it to be a 2025 project. To formally kick off the rollout, Lil Baby came back today with two singles, “5AM” and “Insecurities.”

In this post, we are focusing on the latter, and this one sees the hitmaker showing his mushier side. He details his strong affection for a woman he’s with. She seems to really be special because Lil Baby’s is willing to shove aside her imperfections. He’s spoiling her with material things, but also with his actions out of the goodness of his heart. Produced by Wheezy, CuBeatz, Klimperboy, KB, Juko, and Macshooter, the track features a nice guitar loop and some pretty piano keys the dance in and out the instrumental. It’s a catchy tune for sure and it’s a solid start for the future album.

Quando Rondo Guides Listeners Through His Life On “Here For A Reason”

by

Savannah, Georgia rapper and auto-crooner, Quando Rondo, is back on the album scene this weekend with Here For A Reason. It’s the 25-year-old’s third studio album, and first since 2023’s Recovery. Prior to the full release, he got the rollout started with “Cash” at the tail end of 2023 during some serious legal issues. Then, in August of this year, Rondo dropped off an additional five singles. “Gotta Do Better & Pray” got things started and that then led to the precursing EP Here for a Reason: In The Darkest Time. Finally, from October 18 to just hours before the LP, Rondo gave fans three more, with one of them being a tribute to his late cousin, Lul Pab. All of that brings to us November 15 and the 17-song album.

Across the body of work, Quando’s detailing his life and the various emotions he’s dealt with as he’s grown up literally and mentally. It’s probably his most mature record to date with various bars proving that to be the case. For example, on “Boy To Man,” he raps, “I got my mind on the struggle with my heart in the gutter and my grind on my hustle.” Overall, the record comes at another interesting time in his life, with the weight of his cousin’s death on his mind and the noise surrounding Lil Durk’s murder-for-hire arrest. Coincidentally, the messages and themes on Here For A Reason feel like an accurate representation of Quando Rondo’s thought process over these last couple of months. See if you share that opinion by listening to the project below.

Glokk40Spaz Drops Off “Slaughter House Recordz” EP In The Spirit Of Halloween

by

Glokk40Spaz is back again for another project and he’s flirting with flat-out horrorcore on Slaughter House Recordz. The Decatur, Georgia native certainly delivers on what the title alludes to, delivering nothing but murderous trap bangers for seven tracks. If this was made with the spirit of Halloween in mind, we wouldn’t doubt Glokk’s vision one bit. The first cut, “Welcome 2 Da Slaughter” flips the classic score from the first Halloween film for good measure to put anyone questioning the inspiration for this EP. Speaking of this being an extended play, Genius says this is his first one of his career. As we mentioned earlier, this yet another project for the 21-year-old, and to be specific, it’s his fourth.

The first was actually a deluxe of his most recent tape from 2023, Took The Biggest Risk. Glokk40Spaz added nine more songs including two collaborations with Young Nudy and OsamaSon. He wouldn’t be done working with the latter, though, as they would go on to work together for a full project in May, 3vil Reflection. Then, Glokk would go back to his solo catalog and deliver Da Real Oso. Interestingly, there was going to be another deluxe on the way for 2024 for the aforementioned tape. However, due to pesky leaks, he was forced to scrap the idea. That’s how Slaughter House Recordz was born, but Glokk was able to salvage at least one Da Real Oso recording. “3rd Day Out” managed to find a home and we are grateful that he was able to find a loophole and still fulfill his hungry fans’ request for more music.
