Beanz & Benny The Butcher Are Securing Bags On “As Seen On TV”

by

Rhythm & Flow has already helped propel the career of a now Grammy-nominated artist but those that didn’t emerge victoriously are still keeping their hustle on. Beanz, specifically, was an underdog on the show that didn’t make it all the way until the finale. However, her latest string of releases has highlighted exactly what she was a fan favorite and the potential that she’s slowly coming into.

This week, Beanz barred up with Griselda’s Benny The Butcher for her latest release, “As Seen On TV.” Beanz puts a focal point on her lyricism on this but more importantly, she’s proving that she can craft a banger. Benny’s assistance on the track brings a much-needed dose of East Coast grittiness to the equation.

Check out the latest from Beanz below.

Quotable Lyrics
Dope money easy but rap cash broke the lever
They never made cocaine dealings sound so clever
Who put a quarter block on a plate then turnt it to cheddar
Guess I’m good at putting a rock in its place like a diamond setter

Drake Flames Justin LaBoy’s Iced-Out “Respectfully” Chain

by

Invoking Drake’s name in anything is bound to illicit a few reactions, even if it isn’t true. Last week, Justin Laboy, whose interview series Respectfully has produced a few viral moments so far, and it seems that his show on REVOLT keeps getting bigger and better. Unfortunately, he attempted to fool fans into thinking Drake would be appearing on his show. It didn’t take long for Drake to dispel the rumors, calling cap on LaBoy’s comments.

It seems like that particular incident may have rubbed Drake the wrong way, and he’s allowed the Petty King to flourish. Justin LaBoy was on the ‘Gram where he revealed his latest piece of jewelry — an iced-out Respectfully chain in pink. “My custom chain finally done!! I love how it came out. Thanks to my bro @cal_thejeweler the best BLACK JEWELER out there & @essexfinejewelry for making the creative process enjoyable and getting the chain & piece made within 5 days… #Respectfully,” he captioned the post.

Drake, who dons a few pieces of impressive jewelry himself, took a shot at LaBoy’s new chain with a reference to Young Money’s First Lady. “Oh you def a Barb sis,” Drake wrote along with a laughing emoji, a diamond emoji, and a nail polish emoji. “Shining tho,” he added.

Justin LaBoy swiftly responded to Drake, telling him to “GO TO HELL.”

Juicy J & Kaash Paige Are “All The Time High” On New Collab

by

Juicy J released his fifth studio album The Hustle Continues at the tail end of last year. The 16-track project was preceded by two singles “Gah Damn High” and “Load It Up,” while the standard version of the project featured appearances from the likes of 2 Chainz, Megan thee Stallion, NLE Choppa, Conway the Machine, A$AP Rocky, and more. Well on Friday (June 25), Juicy decided to return to the scene and release the deluxe version of the album The Hustle Still Continues adding 9 more new songs to it, including this track right here called “All The Time High” featuring Kaash Paige.

Speaking about the sound of the project, the Memphis rapper explained “I produced it myself. On a lot of my other albums, I’ll just produce a track here and there, but this album is 100 percent produced by me. I got a couple of producers, you know, here and there. But it’s 98 percent me at the end of the day — I took it back to the old Three 6 Mafia sound with the new-new.”

Take a listen to the new collab and let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics:

Let’s get it, let’s get it, four hundred milligrams THC all in my system
I’m high as a pigeon, white diamonds on me, I’m drippin’, be shittin’ on niggas
Feel like a million, yeah, but I’m tryna feel like a billion 
My weed is Brazilian and all of my blunts is from Philly

 

Trae Tha Truth Comes Through With “48 Hours After”

by

Houston is in the building! Trae the Truth is back to rep his city on 48 Hours After. This album serves as the follow-up to Trae’s Exhale album from two years ago. The 14-track album features guest appearances from Baby Houston, Jared, Big Pokey, and Lil’ Keke. 

Back in 2018, Trae dropped off 48 Hours Later, and it’s good to see him breathing new life into the series. The new album contains a mix of trap bangers and introspective thug motivators. The timing couldn’t have been better either. 48 Hours After arrives just in time for Houston’s annual celebration of DJ Screw on June 27. The holiday doesn’t signal Screw’s birthday but instead signifies the day the Screwed Up Click recorded the infamous June 27 freestyle.

Conway The Machine Joins Evidence On “Moving On Up”

by

Evidence touched down with Unlearning Vol. 1 on Friday. The album has quite a few gems, but “Moving On Up” featuring Conway the Machine stands out. The beat is comprised of funky piano keys and boom-bap drums. An excited guitar drops in for a few erratic moments timed perfectly with the childish yet haunting pianos. A Kanye West vocal sample is thrown into the hook giving the beat a little more spice. It’s truly a great beat. 

Evidence and Conway’s flow fit perfectly between the patient percussions. Both rappers opt to spit slow and clear bars, taking their time to articulate every word. There’s just something about the vibe on this one that has me running “Moving On Up” on repeat. 

Quotable Lyrics
I wrote this on an Amsterdam canal
I rode a wave and left the ocean dry without a towel
Ghetto bastard, ain’t no father to this style
Father figure, fight the devil
Like the Golden Child

Ty Lue Says LA Clippers Erasing 3-1 Deficit Is “Very Doable”

by

The Los Angeles Clippers are currently down 3-1 in their series against the Phoenix Suns in the Western Conference Finals, but yet they’ve somehow managed to outscore them throughout the series 403-400. Every single game has been very close, and Clippers head coach Ty Lue believes this team can still come back to win it.

“Just got to take it one game at a time,” Ty Lue said after last night’s loss. “Just focus on Monday’s game, that’s it. Not focus on winning three games. Got to take it one game at a time, and that’s got to be our mindset. We beat Utah and won four games in a row. So it’s very doable. We’ve just got to make sure we’re locked in and understand what we’re doing offensively. I think we’ve got to be more locked in offensively to beat this team.”

Despite facing the 3-1 hole, Clippers star Paul George has also taken on Ty’s mentality heading into their do-or-die Game 5. “We’re definitely hopeful. Definitely positive. I mean, this series could be very different with a handful of plays that we could take back and different outcome on some of these plays. Tonight was a tough one. We had an opportunity to take the lead for a couple possessions. We just had a hard time putting the basket in the hole. That’s honestly the game. We played great defense. Just had a hard time scoring tonight.”

Look for game 5 to go down Monday in Phoenix at 9PM EST. Who you got winning?

Evidence Drops Off “Unlearning Vol. 1” Featuring Conway the Machine, Bold James, & More

by

Evidence is back. He blessed fans with Unlearning Vol. 1 this past week. The project features verses from Conway The Machine, Boldy James, Fly Anakin, Navy Blue, and Murkage Dave. Production comes from Evidence, The Alchemist, EARDRUM, and various others.

The project has a real funky vibe to it, mixing old school with new school. The fresh sound gives Evidence’s sound a nice pop that gives the whole project life. “It’s my re-introduction weirdly,” Evidence said of the album. “I feel like it’s my demo. I got to strip it back; it’s not unlike what happens at the beginning of a career, when someone starts out, you know, not recording in the big studios. They graduate, and they make bigger things. I kept that mentality for this … there’s a lot of big steps for me, but they’re more in the details. It’s not like I’m just making some whole new sound of music. It’s just different choices that I made.”
