24kGoldn & Future Put In Work On “Company”

by

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’.”

Check out the track now, and be sure to go stream 24kGoldn’s new project in full right here.

Ari Lennox Drops Off Steamy Photos For Her Birthday, Twitter Goes Crazy

by

For the past couple of days, Ari Lennox has been trending on Twitter after she posted some stunning photos in the lead up to her 30th birthday, which happens to be today.

On Thursday, the “BMO” singer posted a series of party photos where she was all dolled up in a full face of makeup and sleek hairstyle, wearing a silky bra and shorts set with some dazzling pink heart hoop earrings. Fans certainly thought that the photos were sultry, but perhaps not quite so much as the photos that Ari posted even later on Thursday night, just a few hours before she officially turned 30. 

In a photo set captioned “Stella,” Ari wears a Boohoo high-waisted bikini printed with some tropical botanical features. She sits by the pool and gets into the water in the pictures, which show off her immaculate body that she clearly worked hard for. 

Many Twitter users wanted to make it clear that if this was the first time people were noticing Ari’s natural beauty, they were seriously behind. 

 

 

 

 

Others noted that it was strange how people seemingly have only noticed Ari’s beauty once she began wearing wigs and losing weight. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Some complained that Ari should be getting back to making music rather than becoming an IG model. 

 

 

Most, however, just wanted to celebrate the artist and her amazing music. Happy 30th Ari!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vic Mensa Inspires With His Dynamic New Project “I TAPE”

by

After dropping “SHELTER” with Wyclef Jean and Chance the Rapper, Vic Mensa has been steadily building momentum for this moment, as he has finally released I TAPE, a seven-track project that follows in the footsteps of last fall’s V Tape. As far as guest artists are concerned, I TAPE features contributions from R&B and Hip-Hop heavyweights such as Zacari, Jeremih, Chance the Rapper, Wyclef Jean, DIXSON, Tish, Eryn Allen Kane, and Wyatt Wadell. Sonically, it’s one of the Chicago artist‘s most gorgeously-produced projects to date, and in typical Vic fashion, there is plenty of food for thought for listeners to chew on.

Throughout the seven-track project, Vic Mensa blends brutally honest introspection with compelling inspirational messages, making I TAPE a rewarding listen for both close followers of the Chicago artist’s journey and those who may be feeling hopeless due to the pressing social issues of today. From corrupt police, which Vic energetically refers to as “Hoelice,” to being trapped in the criminal justice system, the Roc Nation artist touches base on a lot of issues affecting Black communities in his city and beyond. “MOOSA” is one of I TAPE‘s standout cuts, and its outro — which boasts the powerful lyrics “Keep on existing, keep on resisting/Keep on fighting” — best captures the hopefulness that’s so present on Vic’s impressive new project.

Check out Vic Mensa’s I TAPE below.

Tracklist:

1. INTRODUCTION (Feat. DIXSON)
2. VICTORY
3. MILLIONAIRES (feat. Tish)
4. KWAKU
5. FR33DOM (feat. Zacari)
6. MOOSA (feat. Jeremih, Eryn Allen Kane, & Wyatt Wadell)
7. SHELTER (feat. Wyclef Jean & Chance the Rapper)

Lil Yachty Might Be Trying To Scam 6ix9ine

by

People have been making fun of Atlanta rapper Lil Yachty on TikTok for a video of him flying coach recently. He responded by saying that he can afford to fly private, which he’s done dozens of times, but why would he spend the money if he doesn’t have to. Perhaps he’s going to try and fund his next private flight by using another rapper’s credit card, warning Tekashi 6ix9ine that he’s made a mental note of the Brooklyn-based star’s credit card number.

6ix9ine hasn’t been the most active in recent weeks but, on Thursday night, the rapper posted a picture flexing on his followers, spoiling his girlfriend Jade with a bouquet of gorgeous flowers, several Chanel bags, and more. He posed in front of his two-tone Lamborghini, which he says he owns. Sharing the pictures as a gallery, 6ix9ine included a copy of his receipt, showing that he spent over $50,000 on his girlfriend at the designer store. However, he kept the last four digits of his American Express credit card in plain view, setting himself up to be scammed. Lil Yachty warned him that he might be the one to swipe his info.

“He A real one for giving us those last 4 to his Amex card,” joked the Quality Control-signed rapper. 


Instagram

Recently, The Breakfast Club addressed rumors that they allegedly paid 6ix9ine over $500,000 for one of his interviews. Charlamagne Tha God explained that they’ve never paid an artist for an interview.

Lil Yachty went on the record this week to reveal that he pays $52,000 in monthly bills, which might explain why he took note of 6ix9ine’s credit card information. Read more about that here.

Kodak Black Squads Up For New Posse Cut “Righteous Reapers”

by

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.

QUOTABLE LYRICS

I’m militant and a nigga playin’ with my talk, I get him spent
I ain’t never dug nothing, ain’t scared of nothing
But I’m bulletproof like 50 Cent
I’m a real vulture, they already know how I be flyin’
My lil boo on PS2, got shooters ridin’ and providin’

Cardi B Addresses Eminem Rejection Rumors

by

There’s still a chance that Cardi B gets an Eminem feature on her upcoming sophomore studio album, but the chances remain pretty slim following her latest tweet addressing the rumors that he turned her down.

There has been a supposed “insider report” going around social media claiming that, among the people slated to appear on Cardi B’s next studio album, Eminem was hand-picked by the rapper but he declined the feature request. While it wouldn’t be absurd if that actually were the case, considering the stark differences in Eminem and Cardi’s musical styles, Cardi says that the reports are fake, meaning that a collaboration could still be on the table.

Replying directly to a page claiming that Eminem turned down the chance to work with Cardi B, the Bronx-based rapper said, “BIG LIES….I get off the internet and ya makin sh*t up. I haven’t sent no songs to no artist yet. Love his work and much respect. This don’t even make sense.”

It’s unclear where the rumor originated from but Cardi’s response is telling. With no artists getting ahold of her new album yet, it means we’re still probably a few months away from receiving it, which might come as a disappointment to some fans.

Are you looking forward to hearing Cardi B’s new album and do you think she’ll end up getting Eminem as a feature?

Lil Duke’s J. Cole & Quavo Collab “Loyal” Surfaces

by

At the beginning of 2019, in the midst of J. Cole’s epic feature spree that found him collaborating with more artists than ever before, YSL’s own Lil Duke revealed that he was one such beneficiary. Sharing a glimpse at the tracklist to his then-upcoming Blue Devil 2, track five was labeled as “Loyal,” featuring J. Cole. Unfortunately, when the project went on to be released in June of the same year, the J. Cole collaboration was nowhere to be found, prompting speculation that label intervention had come into play.

Though fans never quite received the answer they may have been hoping for, it would appear that the song has finally surfaced, albeit under mysterious circumstances. HipHopNMore has reported that “Loyal” has leaked, though the song does appear on Duke’s official YouTube page, making it unclear as to where the track actually came from. Still, the track is currently available, and be streamed over at HHNM right here. 

As for the song itself, it should be noted that Cole does not actually spit a verse over the smooth Mustard-produced track, though his presence is certainly felt nonetheless. The bars are handled by Duke and Quavo, both of whom spit game over the bouncy, piano-driven instrumental. It’s not exactly the type of track you’d expect upon seeing “featuring J. Cole” on paper, but it certainly would have had a place on Blue Devil 2, were it included as originally intended.

Be sure to check out the track now, while it’s still available on Duke’s official YouTube page. Those who have heard it, sound off with your comments on the previously unreleased track in the comments below.
