Kenny Mason And Baby Drill’s ‘Easy Dub’ Visualizer Puts A Gritty Spin On Beloved Video Game Series ‘The Sims’
If Young Thug and YSL’s RICO case has taught hip-hop heads anything, it’s that rap lyrics are under attack. While this isn’t new, now rappers could end up behind bars for their exaggerated accounts on wax (pending Rap Act be damned). Younger acts are taking notice. Although Kenny Mason’s tracks won’t change, his visuals certainly will.
For his song “Easy Dub,” which features Baby Drill from Mason’s latest album, 9, he took a few creative liberties with its official visualizer. Teaming up with director Michael Janey and VFX artist Liam Archibald, Mason puts a gritty spin on the beloved video game series The Sims.
As Mason raps: “N****s is hatin’, that’s part of the growth / Ain’t no complainin’, that’s part of the oath / No, we don’t know where your pack went / Ain’t no arrangement as far as I know / We ain’t gon’ play with this sh*t / I got the power to stay in this b*tch / I got a powerful K in the whip,” his animated mascot carries out the goon-like behaviors outlined in the bars.
The visualizer follows the fictional avatars of Mason and Drill on their wild ridged night. Well, that’s one way to circumvent YouTube’s community guidelines.
Watch Kenny Mason’s official visualizer for “Easy Dub” featuring Baby Drill above.

Cardi B is a mother, wife, rap superstar, actress, and businesswoman. Well, those are just a few of her personal and professional titles. But, the “Enough (Miami)” rapper has made it clear that there’s one label that just isn’t for her. During an outtake of her Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast appearance, Cardi confessed to host Wallo that she’s “not a feminist anymore.”
The video posted to Instagram caused an uproar online given Cardi’s past advocacy for women’s rights. One user on TikTok found the comments so appealing that they clapped back with a response clip. However, Cardi isn’t backing down. After gaining wind of the user’s disgust, Cardi stitched the video doubling down on her take specifically “going 50-50” in a relationship.
“I didn’t say women have to go 50-50 with a man,” she said. “And let me make this really clear, I wasn’t talking about my situation. Fortunately and I’m very grateful me and Offset we are practically part of the one percent. We don’t have to [follow regular relationship] rules or have regular bill sh*t that a lot of people experience because we are both rich. We both bought our home in Atlanta. We both went 50-50.”
After mentioning how her parents managed their finances during struggling times, Cardi closed with advice to couples in a similar situation. “If you love somebody and you are in a situation you both should work hard together,” she said. “Would you leave somebody that you love because they are not financial stable? But you know that you guys can build and grow?”

Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Post Malone, Future, and Metro Boomin served as the headliners. As you’d expect there were guests abound. During West’s listening party Freddie Gibbs, YG, Rich Homie Quan, Quavo, and more joined him on stage. Later in the festival YG was joined by Saweetie during his set. Sexyy Red performed her own set before appearing during Chief Keef’s Sunday slot. And Future closed the festival by debuting new material he has with Playboi Carti and Travis Scott. But one of the guests receiving quite a bit of attention came out during Sukihana’s set.
The provocative rapper and social media figure took the stage on Sunday. The packed crowd in attendance for her performance got something they weren’t expecting when she brought out a special guest. The special guest she delivered was OJ Da Juiceman. It was particularly surprising that he appeared as the rapper was only very recently released from police custody. He was arrested in Georgia earlier this month after a brief chase with police. Following a search of his car he was hit with drug and gun charges.
