Birdman And Lil Wayne Add To Their Long List Of Collaborations With ‘Stunnaman’ Featuring Roddy Ricch

Birdman and Lil Wayne were once an inseparable duo in the hip-hop world. From the early Cash Money days of the late 1990s and early 2000s to the eventual Young Money days of the early 2010s, the Louisiana rappers were side by side through it all. Things would go left from 2014 to 2018 as Wayne and Birdman engaged in a lengthy battle over the delayed release of the former’s album, Tha Carter V. While the matter was settled in court, their relationship didn’t so much return to what it once was. That could change as the pair joined forces for a new track.

The rappers re-sparked their chemistry on “Stunnaman” with Roddy Ricch. It’s the first track Birdman and Lil Wayne have worked on together since 2019’s “Ride Dat” which also featured Juvenile. Today’s new track is a boastful effort that sees each rapper laying confident verses of their own. The single also proves that Birdman and Wayne haven’t let their past differences stop them from making good music together.

As for Roddy Ricch, the track is the latest guest feature that the Compton rapper has delivered as he recently joined DJ Khaled for “Body In Motion” with Lil Baby and Bryson Tiller and 42 Dugg on “4 Da Gang.”

You can listen to the new track above.

Drake and Future, 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne, 21 Savage and Offset, Future and Lil Uzi Vert, and more are among the list of rappers who took a moment to combine the best of both worlds for a project.

Sean Kingston Talks Plotting His Comeback, New Album “Deliverance” & Jay-Z’s Advice

There was a time when the summer months were ruled by Sean Kingston. Artists nowadays rush to the studio in hopes of penning the next big summer hit, and while many have succeeded, few of those records have had the longevity of Kingston classics including “Beautiful Girls,” “Take You There,” “Fire Burning,” “Eenie Meenie” with Justin Bieber, or his Natasha Bedingfield collaboration, “Love Like This.”

The Miami-born Jamaican singer burst onto the scene after being discovered on MySpace during a time when artists were first figuring out how to utilize this new thing called an “online presence.” In today’s internet climate, it’s nothing for an aspiring artist to attain hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of followers who help make them into the next big thing in music, without the aid of a label’s push. Yet, 15 years ago it was a new concept, and while speaking about his upcoming album, Kingston told us in an exclusive interview that being discovered online is something he’s continued to be grateful for, while offering up advice to hopeful artists.

“Be original, stay interesting, stay new. Come up with new ideas, new melodies, new vibes,” said Kingston. “I feel like that’s the easiest route because it’s like, everybody’s on their phone nowadays, so basically, you gotta figure out how to come in with something new to capitalize your audience.” He called his transition from MySpace to the industry “a blessing,” noting that he makes sure to remain connected to his fans and supporters online, albeit now it comes in the form of Instagram comments and DMs.

The award-winning singer’s fans have relished in those brief moments with Kingston, especially considering it’s been quite some time since he released an album. He’s collaborated with artists like Trippie Redd, Bow Wow, Brandy, Flo Rida, Sean Paul, Nicki Minaj, N.O.R.E., Three 6 Mafia, Bun B, and Juelz Santana—and that’s just as a performer. It was all the way back in 2013 when Kingston dropped off Back 2 Life, and since that time, he tells us he’s been busy working behind the scenes and building his brand.

Yet, this year we’re all set to receive new music from Sean Kingston and he detailed what we can expect. “Basically, the album is called Deliverance,” said the singer before he began naming a list of big-time hitmakers that are set to make appearances on the record. I may have exhibited a bit too much excitement, because this is when Kingston’s publicist steps in and lets me know that that information is under wraps until a later date.

But trust me, Kingston isn’t messing around about this comeback.

The lead single from Deliverance is “Darkest Times”—a track featuring G Herbo that was teased with the help of NFL star Antonio Brown—and it arrived at the stroke of midnight Friday (May 21) morning. Prior to its release, the singer shared with us that the inspiration behind the song was drawn from personal experiences. There have been several controversies that have plagued Kingston over the years, including a few legal issues as well as a near-fatal jet-skiing accident back in 2011 that left him hospitalized for weeks and recovering for months.

“It’s basically just me explaining when I’m going through something—whenever somebody go through what they go through, trials and tribulations—[just] having somebody there as your rock and your stone,” he explained. “Being there for you through the darkest times.”

There have been plenty of opportunities for Kingston to share his story by making that step back into the spotlight, but he wanted to wait until he was ready to reemerge. Still, the question remains: Why now?

“I just feel like the time is now,” he said. “I’ve been writing a lot of music behind the scenes. I’ve been writing a lot of hits for a lot of artists…Chris Brown, Lil Mosey. I’ve been writing hits for a lot of people, but I just felt like, now is the time for me to come back, for me to tell my story again, for me to get—I just feel like the world is in such a…with COVID and everything that’s going on, they need feel-good music.”

“I’ve been writing a lot of music behind the scenes. I’ve been writing a lot of hits for a lot of artists…Chris Brown, Lil Mosey. I’ve been writing hits for a lot of people, but I just felt like, now is the time for me to come back, for me to tell my story again, for me to get— I just feel like the world is in such a…with COVID and everything that’s going on, they need feel-good music.”

And feel-good music is something that Kingston is well-versed in, with his pop hits poised for heavy streaming numbers. However, it’s obvious that Kingston isn’t the same man he was when he shared his last project, and that is something that listeners are going to experience with this next record. On Deliverance, expect to hear Kingston’s maturation both vocally and lyrically. He explained that he’s “gotten wiser with knowledge” and wants fans to hear how he’s continued to develop, even as he’s been diligently continuing his career behind the scenes.

“I’ve been around the world four or five times so I definitely understand how to conduct myself as far as moving forward when I’m writing songs or just with everything,” Kingston shared. He seemed to suggest that when he was younger, he carried a different artistic approach when it came to creating music. “It was still genuine because I have always been that type of person—but it was kind of, me rushing into things, but now, it’s very much more laid back, much more mature. My sound has matured, the way my melodies are now, everything is on a wider level.”

While Kingston is considered a veteran and icon in the industry, he still draws from advice he’s received from others that came before him. When you’re like Kingston and have a career working with the best of the best, you’re often placed in positions to receive a level of guidance that not many else can afford. There are plenty of memorable moments with influential figures housed in Sean Kingston’s memory bank, but he shared wise words he received from Jay-Z that he still follows until this day.

“I met Jay-Z in Dubai and me and Jay-Z was chopping it up and he told me, ‘No matter what you do, just keep going. Keep God first,’” Kingston recalls Hov telling him. “Just stay at it, whether it’s music or business ideas or real estate or whatever. Just keep capitalizing and becoming a better person—and I feel like that’s always stuck with me.”

With “Darkest Times” comes the official rollout season for Deliverance, but don’t expect Kingston to get extra flashy with the release of this project, even with words of wisdom from Hova in his back pocket. Humility is something that the singer holds near, and he isn’t looking to put on airs just because he may have a few plaques on his walls and awards on his shelves.

“I feel like a lot of the songs that’s coming out—no disrespect to nobody but, we wanna hear more concepts. We wanna hear more deep songs and I feel like now is the time. I just felt it. I had a talk with God and the time is now. I have a new deal with Empire and we ready to go, full force.”

“I’m just normal. I don’t really care about the jewelry. I don’t care about none of that stuff,” said the singer. “I feel like a lot of the songs that’s coming out—no disrespect to nobody but, we wanna hear more concepts,” he added. “We wanna hear more deep songs and I feel like now is the time. I just felt it. I had a talk with God and the time is now. I have a new deal with Empire and we ready to go, full force.”

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie Is In His Feelings On “24 Hours” Ft. Lil Durk

When he isn’t being teased by his ex-girlfriend Ella Bands, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie is hard at work in the studio. In recent months, we’ve witnessed as Ella and A Boogie have traded subliminal messages about one another, but the rapper has taken a break from the relationship drama to link up with Lil Durk on “24 Hours.” The two artists spin explicit bars about their significant others while slipping in lines about the luxury lifestyles that their bank accounts afford them.

It’s believed that “24 Hours” is just the latest single that will make an appearance on A Boogie’s highly anticipated project, A Boogie vs. Artist. The rapper shared that the project was in the works back in January and is slated for release sometime this year. While we wait on more news about A Boogie’s forthcoming project, stream “24 Hours” featuring Lil Durk and let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics

I be tellin’ you all the things I wanna do to you
Kissin’ on the inside of your thighs, got you swimming pool
Lickin’ every hole on your body, got you shakin’ too
Like when you in control of the bed, look what you make me do
Kiss me, lick me, hug me, f*ck me, while I
Get the Maybach truck, she said, “It’s ugly, but I’ll try”

Latto Addresses Controversial Name Change On “The Biggest”

With a new name comes new music. Mulatto has long used her controversial moniker, including when she was first introduced to a global audience thanks to Jermaine Dupri’s reality series, The Rap Game. The teen hopeful ended up winning that first season all those years ago, but the name “Mulatto” haunted the rapper. After being questioned repeatedly regarding whether or not she would be switching things up, Big Latto has officially returned with a new name.

On Friday (May 21), Latto shared her latest single “The Biggest,” and on the track, she spits bars about her life in the limelight. She declares that she can’t be bullied by the public and addresses the media trying to get information about her personal life, but in the end, according to the Queen of Da Souf rapper, she remains “the biggest” force in the Rap game. 

Stream “The Biggest” and let us know what you think about Latto’s latest.

Quotable Lyrics

Misunderstood so I made it official (Official)
Changed the name, watch them still make it an issue (On God)
Big Latto, b*tch, ain’t nothin’ ’bout me little (Latto)
Let me show you b*tches how to ball when all odds against you
