Lil Yachty Teams Up With Rising Star Lil Dann For Warped Banger “WIPED”

Quick riser Lil Dann is a name to pay attention to in the Atlanta rap scene. The Georgia native has not been around for long, only releasing several singles since 2020. By far, the most popular song he has right now is “Family Freestyle” with Lil Baby (his cousin). It was the second of three releases in 2023 and it has catapulted him to more notoriety. The song has already racked up over 12 million streams on Spotify and for good reason. Today, Lil Dann is looking to ramp things up even more for himself with a new single “WIPED” with a star-studded cast that includes Lil Yachty.

This may be Dann’s biggest get as Lil Boat is at the top of his creative game right now. He has been working with artists of all kinds from a range of genres and popularity levels. Another reason why we feel this is the biggest moment so far in Lil Dann’s career is who is handling the production. Working on Dying, as well as BNYX, are bringing their trademark sound for a futuristic cut.

Future & Metro Boomin’s “Like That” Ft. Kendrick Lamar Headed For No. 1 Debut

Future and Metro Boomin’s new song, “Like That,” featuring Kendrick Lamar is heading for a No. 1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. In turn, it would mark the biggest rap debut on the chart since summer 2020. The track is included on the duo’s new collaborative album, We Don’t Trust You.

Lamar made headlines with his verse on the track for dissing both J. Cole and Drake.  “F*ck sneak dissin’, first person shooter, I hope they came with three switches… Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD/ Motherf*ck the big three, n***a, it’s just big me/ N***a, bum, what? I’m really like that/ And your best work is a light pack,” he raps.

Drake seemingly addressed the diss during a stop on his It’s All A Blur – Big As The What? tour. “A lot of people asking me how I’m feelin’,” he said on stage. “I got my head up high, my back straight. I’m 10 f**king toes down in Florida or anywhere else I go. And I know no matter what there’s not a n***a on this Earth that could ever f**k with me in my life.” Drake is performing on the tour alongside J. Cole. The two previously collaborated on their own song that topped the Hot 100 chart with “First Person Shooter,” which Lamar references in his verse. Cole also contributed to Drake’s Scary Hours Edition of For All The Dogs track, “Evil Ways.” 

Metro Boomin & Future To Top The Charts

Lamar isn’t the only guest on We Don’t Trust You to be catching attention. The Weeknd, Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, and Rick Ross also collaborated on the project. Be on the lookout for further updates on Metro Boomin and Future on HotNewHipHop.

Quilly Begins Race To Trademark “No Diddy”

In the past couple weeks, the phrase “No Diddy” has caught fire online. It’s an attempt to reframe already popular phrases like “no homo” and “pause” and it’s based on a lawsuit filed against the rap mogul by producer Lil Rod. The allegations made in the lawsuit claim that Diddy spoke of having sex with multiple other male celebrities even including Meek Mill. Fans online and even some fellow rappers have found the phrase quite funny and now one of the first to use it is attempting to get it trademarked.

Philadelphia rapper Quilly took to social media to claim that he got the job done. “I officially own #NoDiddy” his post reads, but that isn’t the case. He attempted to blur out the status section of the trademark application, which reads pending. It’s pending because there is currently another claim to the phrase being filed so no official owner has been declared yet. It’s unclear which of the two filers has a stronger claim to the phrase but Quilly seems confident that he will eventually get it.

“No Diddy” Trademark Battle Underway

As for the rapper himself, it’s been a turbulent few days. Following months of allegations made through various lawsuits, the stakes were raised significantly earlier this week. That came when the feds raided two of Diddy’s properties in Los Angeles and Miami as part of an investigation against alleged sex trafficking. They reportedly seized electronics from the rap mogul’s residences that are now part of their ongoing investigation.

There isn’t a whole ton that’s known about what Diddy has been up to in the past few days. He reportedly wasn’t aware of the raids ahead of time. Claims say he was with his family when they were being executed. Earlier today he was spotted in Miami though how long he’s been there is also unknown. What do you think of a race sparking to trademark the phrase “No Diddy? ” Do you think the phrase will stick around or burn out once the rap mogul leaves the news cycle? Let us know in the comment section below.

Tyla’s Freeing Self-Titled Debut Is A Pulsating Party That Puts Amapiano On The Global Stage

Tyla 'Tyla' debut album review RX
Epic Records/Merle Cooper

The RX is Uproxx Music’s stamp of approval for the best albums, songs, and music stories throughout the year. Inclusion in this category is the highest distinction we can bestow, and signals the most important music being released throughout the year. The RX is the music you need, right now.

With sizzling flair and a seductive strut, Tyla arrives on the Gunna and Skillibeng-assisted “Jump” from her debut album with a bold declaration. “They never had a pretty girl from Joburg,” she quips, saluting her hometown of Johannesburg, South Africa. “See me now, and that’s what they prefer.” In just a year, Tyla went from a relatively unknown singer carving out her lane in amapiano to a Grammy winner with eyes on being a global pop star. She achieved this without a proper introduction – a showcase that dropped the curtain on a captivating performance Tyla has been itching to debut for the world.

This proper introduction arrives through her self-titled debut album and it injects a new flavor into the pop world that it has not seen before, at least the way Tyla is doing it. The DNA of the South African singer’s music is amapiano, a house music subgenre that originates from her home country. Key elements in its sound include the “log drum,” a bold, speaker-rattling bass that quite literally serves as the heartbeat of amapiano, pumping life into its listener who catches a groove at either a dance party or the comfort of their own home. Then comes high-pitched piano melodies and other percussions like a hi-hat or a deeper bass. The genre has slowly increased its presence in mainstream African music spaces thanks to ambassadors like Uncle Waffles. Records like Wizkid’s “Bad To Me,” Davido’s “Unavailable,” and Asake’s “Amapiano” have adopted the South African genre, the latter two also receiving Grammy nominations. With all eyes on her Tyla, assumed the role of the genre’s ambassadors with the goal of elevating its appeal, something she achieves with Tyla. Tyla perfectly soundtracks the party we all need as summer nears

Tyla’s push of amapiano to the world pre-dates the arrival of “Water,” her Grammy-winning hit record. The first clues that pointed to Tyla being a force to reckon with came with her previous singles “Been Thinking” and the Ayra Star-featured “Girl Next Door.” The former bubbles towards a climactic hook that opens the floodgates to a tide of head-over-heels feelings Tyla pours out to a crush. “Girl Next Door” turns down the temperature with burning pleas of desire, as Tyla and Ayra reserve hope for a waning love.

“Breathe Me” labels a kiss from Tyla the source of life her companion needs to continue onward. It’s equal parts inviting and daring, seductive and tempting, making for a fascinating love affair. “Jump” brings the heat and pulls bodies, burnished with sweat, closer together. “On My Body” positions Tyla and Becky G as dominating damsels, corralling their love interests and reeling them in for a showstopping presentation. Dancefloor lights bounce on their bodies and the percussion syncs with rising heartbeats.

However, Tyla is more than just a party — it’s a declaration of the singer’s pop stardom. For Tyla, it’s the start of a new chapter, one where she breaks free from past limitations and trades in co-dependency for autonomy. On “No. 1,” Tyla and Tems bask in the warmth of freedom. With “Priorities,” Tyla rescues herself from the neverending freefall of people-pleasing. The self-prioritizing also spills in “Truth Or Dare,” a dazzling single that sees Tyla mock and brush off an ex who returned to re-establish their relationship after the singer’s rise in popularity. She

Tyla lives at the cusp of the climax. Whether it’s on the dancefloor, in her love life, or in her music, Tyla is a dominant force. Step aside and allow her to operate or dare to step in the spotlight with her and complement what she brings to the table. “Water,” at both its surface and its deeper, suggestive center, is the daring request to be that adequate complement. The single is the perfect representation of who Tyla is and what it’s like to be in close proximity. As for the album, it’s a free debut that uses a pulsating amapiano party to put the genre on the global stage and set Tyla free into an era where she dominates for the foreseeable future.

Tyla is out now via FAX Records/Epic Records. Find out more information here.

NBA Youngboy Reacts To His Son Doing The Bad Word Challenge

Earlier this year a new viral challenge for parents on TikTok took the platform by storm. It’s called the Bad Word Challenge and saw parents leaving their children alone in a room with the promise that they can say a single swear word. The results have been hilarious and show a variety of different attitudes from the various kids who try it. Some celebrity children even got in on it, with XXXTENTACION’s son being more interested in showing off his outfit than saying any bad words.

NBA Youngboy’s son also got to try his hand at the challenge, though the rapper probably wishes he hadn’t. In the hilarious video Youngboy’s son makes pretty generous use of the opportunity unleashing a pretty excited tirade of bad words. Though the results are hilarious, the rapper himself doesn’t seem to think so. He pulled up in the comments saying “ma tell him I don’t want to see this no more.” Check out the video of his challenge and Youngboy’s reaction to it below.

NBA Youngboy’s Son Doing The Bad Word Challenge

Whenever the subject of parenting comes up publicly for Youngboy he gets some backlash from fans. That’s because of a comment he made in an interview earlier this year. He described himself as not being “big” on the very concept of fatherhood. Those comments are thrown back at him nearly every time something similar to this bad word challenge happens.

NBA Youngboy has already dropped one new project this year. He unleashed the label compilation Compliments Of Gravedigger Mountain earlier this month. But unsurprisingly, it didn’t take him long to confirm his next project. Last week, Youngboy announced his new album I Just Got A Lot On My Shoulders and shared the album’s lead single “Catch Him.” What do you think of NBA Youngboy’s reaction to his son’s bad word challenge? Do you think he has any right to be upset given his previously established views on fatherhood? Let us know in the comment section below.
