It was announced in May that Ty Dolla $ign has launched EZMNY Records, as well as that Leon Thomas is the first artist he has signed to the label. In Thomas’ latest music video, released today (Sept. 2), the duo teams up for the song, “Love Jones.” “Love Jones” is the second single off Thomas’ highly anticipated debut album, Electric Dusk, which will be released later this year. In this song, Thomas pays homage to a classic California love story:
Described by Thomas as an amalgamation of everything he loves about living in California, the video is a celebration of everything he loves about the state. This concept was made even more authentic and real with the help of a legend from L.A. like Ty Dolla $ign.”
Thomas is the second artist to have released a single under this label after his first single, “X-Rated” with Benny The Butcher. The past few years have seen him produce and write albums for several Grammy-nominated artists, including J. Cole, Post Malone, Ariana Grande,Giveon, Snoh Aalegra,Rick Ross, Kehlani, Ella Mai, and more. A recent example of Thomas’ creativity can be found in Drake’s global chart-topping album Certified Lover Boy, where he wrote and produced tracks like “Pipe Down,” “Love All” by JAY-Z, and “In the Bible” alongside Lil Durk and Giveon.
It all started yesterday (Sept. 1) with SL releasing “Berlin,” an Matthias Ringleb, Okan Toktamis, and Maximilian Mersin Mayer-produced offering on which he takes us on a journey through love, the streets, finances, and more:
SL drops a new song entitled “Berlin” with a matching video from Kaylum Dennis, centered around SL’s recent trip to Berlin. A quick clip shows the masked rapper rummaging through his hotel, rocking a crowd at an apparent festival, doing some shopping, and giving some love to his fans.
The release of SL’s sophomore mixtape Different Dude has been a couple of years in the making, a 10-song collection with features from Ayo Britian, Unknown T, and Nafe Smallz. The South Londoner has released numerous loose singles over the years, including “Timezone” by Ton Zanetti, “Mission Complete,” and “Playtime” as well s “Versus,” “Under” featuring M1llionz. and Although mostly used for his own production, SL has also appeared on older mixes, such as Avelino “Waze,” Wretch 32 “Next Door,” and Knucks “Nice & Good.”
DJ Drama and Jeezy teamed up 17 years ago for Trap Or Die, which is considered a classic mixtape. It is with great pride that we can state that both names have become synonymous with hip hop royalty and that Gangsta Grillz and CTE World remain two of the most significant groups in hip hop history. It was announced today (Sept. 2) that Drama and Jeezy will return to work together on “I Ain’t Gon Hold Ya,” a Helluva-produced record that features the clever rhymes that Jeezy has become known for:
As well as the visual, it is accompanied by a matching video from JonnyRaw. A black-and-white picture shows Drama and Jeezy in a black-and-white setting surrounded by beautiful women, followed by a shot of the two in white supercars outside the Magic City.
There have been two years since Jeezy released The Recession 2, the sequel to The Recession, his pivotal third album. A total of 15 tracks are included in Recession 2 along with features from Yo Gotti, Tamika Mallory, E-40, Lil Duval, Demi Lovato, Ne-Yo, and Rick Ross. A mere 20 years after he first released his album in 2000, Jeezy’s 2020 release peaked within the top 20 on the Billboard 200, proving he is still relevant.
