A new visual for Wiz Khalifa’s latest single “Keys” has been released today (Nov. 2), a Quadwoofer-produced banger packed with boastful bars about women, weed, and money, interspersed with the usual Wiz Khalifa punchlines:
Featuring a clip that has been directed by Dre, the accompanying clip for “Keys” is largely focused on Wiz taking a smoke while he is with his love interest in their home. In other instances, he can be seen on multiple platforms a la “The Brady Bunch.”
“Keys” will be included on Wiz Khalifa’s seventh studio album, Multiverse, which will feature 17 cuts as well as extra features from THEY and Girl Talk. There were several months before that album was released. Girl Talk and Wiz had teamed up with Smoke DZA and Big K.R.I.T. for Full Court Press, which also featured Nile Rodgers and Curren$y contributing a couple of assists. The year 2022 was also a year of collaboration for Pittsburgh’s and Juicy J’s long-time collaborator, as the two teamed up on Stoner’s Night for a year that proved to be a fruitful one for the “Black and Yellow” rapper.
A year ago, Wiz celebrated Halloween by taking the helm for Taylor Gang’s brand new compilation, G Rage, one of the hottest new releases of the year. There are eight songs in the project and there are notable guest appearances from Chevy Woods, 6AM, Lil Uzi Vert, Ty Dolla $ign, and P Fire.
The Memphis Massacre III LP, Duke Deuce’s third album in his fan-favorite Memphis Massacre series, was released last week. The mixtape features a Memphis-only roster of artists, including Big Moochie Grape, Lil Thad, ATM Rich Baby, Glockianna, Dubba C, and Gloss Up, another QC labelmate. The release was accompanied by the video for “Mr. Memphis Massacre,” the first single from the project.
A few hours ago (Nov. 1), the Tennessee native took to social media to release the official music video for the track featured on the mixtape, “Buck The System.” This hilarious visual begins with a scene where the Tennessee native enters a local radio station and asks a DJ to play his new song on the air. Even though the rapper refuses to do so, the “Crunk Ain’t Dead” rapper takes over the studio and blasts out his song regardless of what the artist says. As soon as his hard-hitting lyrics start to fill the room, the only sounds of the entire building are his hard-hitting lyrics:
In June, Deuce released his third album, Memphis Massacre III, following CRUNKSTAR, his debut album. There were a variety of talented names who helped him out with the aforementioned body of work. These names included Slimeroni, Gloss Up, Rico Nasty, Co Cash, GloRilla, JP The Rockstar, Doe Boy, Babyface Ray, Lil Yachty, Juicy J, DJ Tootz, and Dante Smith.
At the moment, IDK is touring with Pusha T as part of Pusha T’s “It’s Almost Dry Tour.” On October 28, the Maryland-born singer-songwriter treated fans to “Monsieur Dior,” a beautifully crafted single. In this track, samples are taken from “Huit Octobre 1971” from the French jazz band Cortex, a band which is well known to hip hop fans as part of MF DOOM’s “One Beer” record. A video accompanying the song “Monsieur Dior” includes clips of IDK at Howard University’s Homecoming as well as Dior’s show at the Paris Opera House as the lyrics provide a soundtrack to his incredible experiences:
The Simple album was released back in May by IDK and Kaytranada, and it featured eight tracks and only two features, which were from Mike Dimes and Denzel Curry. It was preceded by a well-received lead single featuring Denzel Curry, titled “Dog Food,” which was released prior to the album’s release. As a result, fans have been able to get a glimpse of the official videos for a number of tracks from the project, including “Dog Food” and “Breathe.” However, shortly afterward, the rapper who was described as “shooting my shot” returned to delight fans with two more smooth songs, “Drive” and “Free Slime,” which eventually culminated into an EP he titled W13.
With all the loose drops that Quando Rondo has been dropping throughout the entire year of 2022, some of his favorites have been “Jakiyah,” “24,” and “War Baby,” one of which pays homage to one of basketball’s biggest legends, Kobe Bryant, who passed away recently. It will be no surprise to hear that he keeps his momentum on track with his latest track and video featuring NBA YoungBoy called “Give Me a Sign”, which is a brand new track that talks about trusting in the process. As part of the song, the “Bad Vibe” rapper kicks things off by rapping over the beat created by Bankroll Got It and SephGotTheWaves:
Rondo expressed some optimistic insights into the world in an interview earlier this month regarding where he believes his career is heading despite the hardships he has faced. It is now my turn to demonstrate my abilities to the world. He stated, “I am still determined to do well.” “I will get through all of this nonsense.” I am confident that I will succeed. The majority of people are not able to jump the gate. As a matter of fact, I am. Let yourself be absorbed in the moment and watch. It’s my turn.”
It was announced earlier this week that NBA YoungBoy has officially signed a deal with Motown Records, according to a press release from the company. Even though the specifics of the contract have not yet been revealed, sources told Variety that the deal was highly competitive and that “the final agreement was also very competitive.”
In August, K Camp published Vibe Forever, his most recent album. There were 12 songs on the well-received album, which featured Ne-Yo and Doe Boy. Fans have been enjoying accompanying visuals for singles like “Holy Spirit” and “Woozie” preceding the album.
This week (Oct. 27), the Atlanta native continues to deliver the freestyles that helped him become a household name. A remix of the widely popular “Tomorrow” beat is featured in this updated offering. After appearing on CMG The Label’s Gangsta Art compilation album as GloRilla’s contribution, the song was upgraded when Cardi B joined the remix. K Camp’s version of the song contains a few subliminal references to a past relationship:
In addition to Vibe Forever, the full-length FLOAT album was released last year. Among those appearing on this project were Mooski, Trey Songz, and PnB Rock, the latter of whom appears on the Ginuwine-sampling single “Life Has Changed.” His last release was Kiss 5, which ended a series of fan favorites that he started back in 2013. In the months following the release of the original EP, he returned to release the deluxe version, which contained six additional tracks and a new feature by Sevyn Streeter.
