Future & Metro Boomin Reunite for ‘We Don’t Trust You’ Album
Years in the making.
Did Kendrick Lamar Diss Drake And J. Cole On Future & Metro Boomin’s New Album?
Heading into this week’s new releases, anticipation was sky-high for the Future and Metro Boomin joint album, We Don’t Trust You. Now that it’s out, one track in particular is getting a lot of attention: “Like That,” which features a surprise cameo from none other than Kendrick Lamar. Over interpolations of Rodney O & Joe Cooley’s and Eazy-E’s “Eazy-Duz-It” (a clever callback to Kendrick’s Compton roots), the track finds Future and Kendrick exchanging aggressive verses, but Kendrick’s has flabbergasted fans wondering if he’s taking shots at the two other members of the so-called “Big Three,” Drake and J. Cole.
Did Kendrick Lamar Diss Drake And J. Cole On Future & Metro Boomin’s New Album?
In his verse, Kendrick raps two lines that lend themselves to this view. At about the midway point of the verse, he says, “F*ck sneak dissin’, first-person shooter, I hope they came with three switches.” This appears to be a reference to Drake and J. Cole’s No. 1 single “First Person Shooter,” which appeared on Drake’s album For All The Dogs just ahead of the duo announcing a joint tour.
In the second apparent reference to his seeming rivals, Kendrick punctuates his verse with an even more obvious reference: “Motherf*ck the big three,” he exclaims. “It’s just big me.” He also references Drake’s recent album, which contains a boasting comparison of the Canadian MC to King of Pop Michael Jackson, sneering, “Prince outlive Mike Jack’ / ‘fore all your dawgs gettin’ buried / That’s a K with all these nines, he gon’ see Pet Sematary.”
Final verdict: Yes, it would seem that Kendrick Lamar is indeed going at the heads of his fellow chart-toppers, in a much less ambiguous showing than Big Sean’s reference to the Big Three earlier this week. It looks like the discourse about just who’s the best has started up all over again. May God help us all.
Big Sean Makes A Sure Fire Aim With ‘Precision,’ His Triumphant Comeback Single
Big Sean is back. And this time, he’s making a sharp return. Tonight (March 22), the Detroit legend has shared “Precision,” his scorching new single.
Over the past few days, Sean has been teasing a new era on social media. This week, he shared a series of clips on Instagram, each of them sharing one common theme — clarity. And in the four years since he dropped his last album, Detroit 2, he seems to have gained quite a bit.
On “Precision,” Sean raps over an energetic beat, reminding us that while he’s been away for a minute, he’s not going anywhere anytime soon.
“I’m gettin’ harder to beat, Hadouken / They sendin’ shots but somehow I just juke it / Hittin’ my death mode, f*ck it, I’m B-I-G, you know I can’t forget, I adore it,” he says on one of the song’s verses.
Outside of music, Sean tends to keep a pretty low profile. In an interview on Amanda Seales’ Small Doses podcast, Sean said letting go of control and following his emotions has helped him elevate his craft.
“I had to just accept it, stop trying to control everything, and live in the moment and go with your feelings,” he says. “And I applied that to the studio, and that’s when things really started popping for me.”

Tyla And Becky G Turn The Bedroom Into A Dancefloor On Their New Collaboration, ‘On My Body’
South African hitmaker Tyla has released her much anticipated self-titled debut album tonight (March 22). Having built much momentum with hits like “Water” and “Truth Or Dare,” Tyla has shown herself to be one to watch. And with her promising debut, Tyla reassures us that she’s no flash in the pan. Tyla is stacked with instant hits and dance-ready bangers, arriving just in time for the summer. On a steamy Becky G collaboration called “On My Body,” Tyla seeks to take the moves from the dancefloor to the bedroom — and to every other room in the house.
“Can’t put a price on my waistline / Gotta move on my body / Climb up, can’t say no, mi bacardi,” sings Tyla on the opening verse
Becky G pops in adding some Latin flair to the intoxicating Afrofusion track, combining international forced to deliver a certified banger.
“Come give me everythin’ that you got / Want me slow, keep me up on my toes / Like a ballerina / The bedroom’s old, let’s try a place I know,” sings Becky G, before offering some simple yet sexy directions.

Future, Metro Boomin, And Travis Scott Have That ‘Cinderella’ Drip On Their New Collab
Tonight (March 22), Future and Metro Boomin have dropped their long-awaited collab album, We Don’t Trust You. Both Metro and Future have been teasing the album over the course of the past year, and the first of two announced projects has proven worth the wait. When Future and Metro get together, the end result is always a banger, and a Travis Scott feature adds a bit of razzle dazzle. On We Don’t Trust You, the three hip-hop powerhouses join forces for “Cinderella,” a long-awaited collaboration, which Metro and Future have been teasing at sets recently.
On “Cinderella,” Future and Travis reach braggadocious and stylish new heights, as they rap about their drip over a glimmer beat produced by Metro.
“Racks up, racks stuck together / Sip red, talk to the devil / Rosetta stones forever / High yellow, canary yellow / Hot chocolate, Cinderella,” says Future
On Scott’s verse, the Houston native sticks to his guns, rapping, “You know it’s always levels / Two Ms, that’s on a pedal / This b*tch made that b*tch jealous / This cup ain’t never fail us.”
