Tee Grizzley Drops “Built For Whatever” Ft. Big Sean, King Von, Lil Durk, Quavo, G Herbo

by

When a troll tried to get under Tee Grizzley’s skin, the Detroit rapper kept his cool. “You fell off,” a Twitter user wrote to the rapper last month. Grizzley simply responded, “I made it out tho bro that was the goal.” Tee Grizzley has been moving carefully in the industry, forging relationships with his fellow artists and linking for collaborations that continue to help him build his empire. On Friday (May 7), he shared his latest album Built For Whatever, a project that shows he has reached his goal and is ready for more.

Built For Whatever hosts a bevy of features including appearances from Big Sean, Quavo, Young Dolph, YNW Melly, Lil Durk, Lil Tjay, G Herbo, AllStar Lee, and Mu. There is also a posthumous appearance by King Von and two looks from Grizzley’s brother, Baby Grizzley. Tee and Baby recently reunited after Baby served five years in prison and was released, however, he found himself facing more legal issues earlier this year, hence the album’s closing track, “Free Baby Grizzley.”

Coi Leray Addresses Her Critics On “Bout Me”

by

After Drake shared photos of Coi Leray to his Instagram Story of the rapper rocking his Chrome Hearts gear, many believed the OVO mogul was signing off on Leray’s talents. It would make for her biggest co-sign to date, if true, and quickly, her fans began shifting rumors about the two one day collaborating. We haven’t received any news of that just yet, but Coi Leray did return on Friday (May 7) to share her latest single, “Bout Me.”

The track seems to be inspired by real-life events as Leray has navigated her Rap star dreams with the drama in her personal life. Social media users bore witness to the rapper’s online spat with her father, Benzino, and their eventual reconciliation. Leray has also been hit with criticisms over her looks and body shape, but she’s made it known that she doesn’t intend to change anything about herself.

Following the success of her single “No More Parties,” fans are hoping that “Bout Me” will continue the hype surrounding Coi Leray and her rise. Stream “Bout Me” and let us know your thoughts.

Quotable Lyrics

B*tch, I’m, uh, yeah, tired of talking
Uh, yeah, uh, why they keep talking ’bout me?
Uh, yeah, b*tch keep talking, uh, yeah, yeah
But they don’t know nothin’ about me
Uh, uh, I gotta go get it, yeah, I gotta keep winnin’
Yeah, gotta feed my family ’cause it ain’t about me

Young M.A Links With Fivio Foreign For Drill Single “Hello Baby”

by

Popping up with their second collaboration within the last year are Young M.A and Fivio Foreign. Back in June 2020, the two New York emcees traded bars on Fivio’s “Move Like a Boss” single, a track that exuded the energy of its title. It looks like their switching places this time around with Young M.A delivering “Hello Baby” as Fivio assists. It’s just as boastful as their first link and the single is said to be featured on M.A’s Off The Yak album that is slated for release on May 21.

On “Hello Baby,” fans will find Young M.A and Fivio flowing over a drill beat as the Brooklyn natives drop bars about making it out of the hood and into the arms of a few baddies that can’t get enough of their charms. The single follows last month’s “Successful,” also said to be making an appearance on Off The Yak. 

Listen to Young M.A and Fivio Foreign blaze through “Hello Baby” and share your thoughts.

Quotable Lyrics

And I’m the sh*t and this sh*t on my wrist a toilet water (Uh)
We in the spot, bottles and thots, took home somebody daughter (Treesh)
Call me the Big Mac, bro got the big MAC
And he on point like a zig-zag (Grr)
N*ggas be talking that fly sh*t, big cap
Damn homie, where is the drip at? (Where is the drip at?)

Coi Leray Wonders Why He Haters Are Talking All ‘Bout Me’ On Latest Single

by

Nowadays, it’s hard to move through social media or dig through a list of today’s most popular acts without running into Coi Leray’s name. After years of working on her craft, the 23-year-old New Jersey rapper is finally relishing her moment under the spotlight. While her rise is certainly one to take notice of, it isn’t a sign for Leray to take her foot off the gas, something the young act is aware of as she returns with her new single, “Bout Me.”

On it, she questions why she’s the focus of haters. Leray makes it clear that they won’t learn much about her by watching the rapper’s every move, so paying extra attention to her is practically pointless. The new track will hopefully extend what’s been a career-making year for Leray. It first began with the release of “No More Parties,” a track that quickly gained popularity on TikTok thanks to a snippet she shared before the track was officially released. A further boost was provided when Lil Durk remixed the song and joined Leray for the track’s music video. Looking to continue her streak, she returned to social media to tease her next track, “Big Purr (Prrd),” with Pooh Shiesty, and once again, it proved to be a successful effort for Leray after the track was released.

Isaiah Rashad Begins The Journey Towards His Long-Awaited Album On ‘Lay Wit Ya’ With Duke Deuce

by

The two artists on TDE who have gone the longest without dropping a new album are Isaiah Rashad and Ab-Soul, as both of their most recent projects came in 2016. While Ab-Soul has already promised his new album is on the way, Rashad has been rather quiet since he dropped his debut album, The Sun’s Tirade. There we slight pokes of the head from him with tracks like “Why Worry” and a guest feature with Kaash Paige on “Problems.” Now, Rashad is back and he’s here to stay for a while as he drops off his newest single, “Lay Wit Ya” featuring fellow Tennesse rapper Duke Deuce.

The new effort is a mellow track that presents Rashad at a near-mumble over a head-knocking bass while Duke Deuce arrives in the song’s second half with his trademark heavy-muscled energy. Its accompanying video sees Rashad prepare for a night out filled with partying, drinking, and dancing. The visual also ends by previewing a new track that samples Three Six Mafia’s “Ridin In Da Chevy,” one that will hopefully appear on Rashad’s upcoming album The House Is Burning. The project will arrive at some point in June as revealed in a profile the rapper did with The Fader, which dove deep into the highs and lows within the last five years of Rashad’s life.

You can press play on the new single in the video above.

Isaiah Rashad is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

J. Cole Is As Confident As Ever On His Soulful ‘Interlude’ Ahead Of ‘The Off-Season’

by

It’s been almost eight years since J. Cole released a single before an album. His last three full-length efforts, 2014 Forest Hills Drive, 4 Your Eyez Only, and KOD all arrived with little promotion beforehand, none in the form of new music. While many thought the Dreamville rapper would stick to the script that’s worked so well for him in the past, Cole decided to go against his grain and share a new song before next week’s The Off-Season album. “Told myself I would drop the album all at once,” he wrote in a tweet. “Sometimes you gotta say f*ck it tho.” With that declaration comes “Interlude,” the first taste of his forthcoming release.

The new track is carried by a soulful sample and a heavy drums that are a bit distant from the sound Cole has given us over the years. Just a few days ago, Cole announced that The Off-Season would officially arrive on May 14. The news came after months of teasing from himself and fellow Dreamville artists. Prior to this, Bas shared a now-deleted image of Cole working on the album in the studio. “The Off-Season,” he wrote in the caption. “pack your bags. [rocket emoji] in two weeks.” Cozz also shared his thoughts on the album, calling it Cole’s “best sh*t to date.”

The Off-Season will be Cole’s first full-length album since 2018’s KOD, and while fans are definitely happy to have him back, it’s not all that Cole has in store for them. He also plans to follow up the project with The Fall Off, an album he’s been teasing since 2018.

Saweetie Strives For First By Keeping Things In ‘Fast (Motion)’ On Her Energetic New Banger

by

After dropping a new song for fans every now and then, Saweetie seems ready to flood the streets with music as the Bay Area rapper is already back with a new track. Her latest drop is an energetic banger titled “Fast (Motion)” and on it, Saweetie has her eyes on nothing but first place. She boasts about keeping things at a quick pace just like the life she lives, while leaving her competition in the dust behind her. The song arrives with a video that features the rapper as a soccer player, racecar driver, and skydiver, thus proving there’s nothing she can’t excel at.

The new track arrives after she dropped off her Pretty Summer Playlist: Season 1 project last month. Its seven tracks saw appearances from Drakeo The Ruler, Lourdiz, Kendra Jae, Bbbyafricka, and Loui. While the real full-length effort that the rapper’s fans are waiting for is her upcoming debut album, Pretty B*tch Music, they’ll have to exercise their patience for a bit longer as it’s set for a release at some point this summer. In the meantime, Saweetie has been working on her crafting at an artist development boot camp she attended. “For me, I’m gonna focus on what I struggle with,” she said about the camp. “I struggle with breathing control, I’m gonna work on my dance moves, my details, all that good stuff, my body, my stamina, everything.”

Trippie Redd Taps Playboi Carti For “Miss The Rage” Single

by

Days after it was reported that Trippie Redd named Playboi Carti as one of his Top 5 favorite rappers of all time, the Ohio native drops a single with one of his GOATs. The rappers share the stage on “Miss The Rage,” a single slated to be released on Trippie’s forthcoming project, Trip At Knight. Trippie capitalized off of the play on words for the single’s visualizer that looked much like a video game where he portrays the main character of a knight in battle.

“Listening to Uzi’s sh*t back in 2015 [to] ’16, that sh*t was different. And Carti, at that time. They was on some other sh*t for the young n*ggas,” Trippie recently told XXL. “They did some crazy sh*t for us. They really opened doors for us to do a lot of sh*t that we do. You know, the n*ggas from the SoundCloud era might not say it too much, but definitely, they some of the G.O.A.T.s from our era.”

B*tch, it’s us, never them, you ain’t that, b*tch, I’m him
You get zapped if it’s static (Static), keep that MAC, it go “Pew”
Smokin’ gas, smell the fumes, I’m in that ‘Vette, it go “Vroom”
I’m a vet, lil’ dude, you a pet, do what I say, not what I do

Saweetie Shares Sports-Inspired Visual To “Fast (Motion)” Single

by

Last month, Saweetie shared her Pretty Summer Playlist, the first in what she says will be a yearly series. The Bay Area rapper shared that she intended to use the playlist to give shine to artists that she believes deserves more visibility, but what her fans have been waiting for is her anticipated debut studio album, Pretty B*tch Music. The project’s release is expected to arrive sooner than later, especially considering Saweetie recently shared that she’s been locked away at boot camp as she improves her skills.

On Friday (May 7), Saweetie intensified the hype around her forthcoming project by sharing a new single along with an accompanying video. “Fast (Motion)” is a catchy Pop-Rap track where Saweetie once again stays in her genre-blending lane. In the video, she highlights various sports including track, football, and basketball, while showing off her dancing skills.

Quotable Lyrics

Iciest b*tch in the whole damn land
I hit the road in an all-white Lam’
I keep a fresh set up on my hands
You don’t like me, but you on my ‘Gram
How you look? (How you look?), how you sound, ho?
I’m a boss, I’m a brat, hard to handle
