Over the last year, Gucci Mane has consistently released top-tier tracks like “Rumors,” “Fake Friends” by Lil Durk, “Mrs. Davis,” “Serial Killers,” “All Dz Chainz” by Lil Baby, “Blood All On It,” “Publicity Stunt,” by Key Glock and Young Dolph, and “Dissin The Dead.” This compilation has also been upgraded to So Icy Gang, Vol. 1 contains the 32-song collection So Icy Gang: The ReUp. The hip hop veteran added to this list yesterday (Sept. 19) by releasing “Red Flag,” a team-up with his 1017 collaborators BiC Fizzle and BigWalkDog. With production from AJ Hitz, Tay Keith, and DJ Meech, this hard-hitting track offers listeners poignant warnings about everyday life:

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.
This is the official start of Lil Baby season. A new documentary on rapper Lil Baby, Untrapped: The Story of Lil Baby, was released last week, giving viewers an insight into the star’s life and career. Lil Baby follows up recent loose singles “Frozen,” “In A Minute,” and “U-Digg” with a new track titled “Detox,” which may indicate a new studio album is coming soon.
The sophomore studio LP My Turn by Lil Baby was released two years ago, and it contained 20 songs and features from Future, 42 Dugg, Gunna, Lil Uzi Vert, Moneybagg Yo, Lil Wayne, Young Thug, and Rylo Rodriguez. Despite the project’s critical and commercial success, it failed to reach number one on the Billboard 200, despite selling 197,000 CD-equivalents during its first week. Several months later, a deluxe edition of the four-times Platinum effort arrived with seven additional songs, including the smash hit “We Paid” and Grammy-nominated “The Bigger Picture.”
As part of the Voice of the Heroes album, Lil Baby partnered with fellow hip hop frontrunner Lil Durk, who collaborated with artists such as Young Thug, Meek Mill, Future, and Rod Wave. In addition to topping the chart with 150,000 equivalent album units, The Voice of the Heroes also topped the Billboard chart, as well. Both parties received Platinum plaques for their efforts.
He has quickly established himself as one of the most sought after featured artists across a wide range of genres apart from his own work. Among the songs he has appeared on since The Voice of the Heroes hit the ground are EST Gee “5500 Degrees,” H.E.R. “Find A Way,” Meek Mill “Sharing Locations,” Drake “Girls Want Girls,” Kanye West “Hurricane,” Nardo Wick “Me Or Sum,” Ed Sheeran “2step (Remix),” Nicki Minaj “Do We Have A Problem?,” and DJ Khaled “BIG TIME.”
Over the course of the year, Gucci Mane has offered fans quality singles such as “Blood All On It,” “Publicity Stunt” by Key Glock “Rumors,” “Fake Friends” with Lil Durk, and Young Dolph, “Mrs. Davis,” “Serial Killers,” “All Dz Chainz” featuring Lil Baby,” and “Dissin The Dead.” As well as his own songs, he appeared on Pooh Shiesty “Next Up,” Big Scarr “Houdini,” Quavo and Takeoff “Us vs. Them” and Mariah Carey “Obsessed (Remix).”
As of today (Aug. 19), Gucci is adding to that with the release of “Gelati,” a track featuring 1017 rising star BigWalkDog, along with fellow hometown hero Peewee Longway. According to the chorus of “Gelati,” the song is all about making money and enjoying life to the fullest:
Almost a year has passed since Gucci Mane released his fifteenth studio album Ice Daddy. This album included 17 songs and guest appearances by BIG30, Pooh Shiesty, 2 Chainz, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Baby, and more. A further point of significance is that one of hip hop’s most prolific artists has continued to produce – for example, Gucci releases albums on his 1017 label including So Icy Boyz, So Icy Christmas,and So Icy Gang: The ReUp.
In the wake of her new single, Millie Go Lightly unveiled her latest offering “Saddle Up,” a collaboration with Will Keating and Acoustic Trap Morgan O’Connor. While taking a step away from hip hop, Millie’s latest release demonstrates her incredible range and versatility as an artist while bending genres. “Saddle Up” marks the beginning of The Good, The Bad, And The Beautiful, a new album by Millie Go Lightly. Aside from that, the upcoming body of work will be based on the artist’s experiences in Nashville.
She got lightened up in the past few years by aligning herself with Young Thug’s Young Stoner Life collective and the Atlanta music scene. There are several songs she has contributed to during that time, including SG Tip, Real Recognize Rio and Lil Harold “Down Bad” Lil GotIt “Take Care,” Thugger “Family Don’t Matter,” and Landstrip Chip “Wraith.” Also, she has released some killer songs of her own Lil Keed, “Make You Better” and “Jealousy” featuring Rylo Rodriguez alongside Unfoonk, and “Ocean Deep” are only a few examples.
According to Millie Go Lightly’s past interview with The Hundreds, Young Thug inspired her to do what she did:
When I was working in London with a producer who was working with Frank Ocean, I was working with this producer. When I was a kid, I bought beats off the internet and wrote to them when I was at home. It was therefore my pleasure to send these to everyone, including London On Da Track, who at the time was on tour with Thug. The email was sent to him, then Thug heard it. The ‘HI-HORSE Tour’ was taking place at the show. My first meeting with him was upon arrival and I began working with the same people as before.
