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:

It was last week that NAV released his fourth studio LP Demons Protected by Angels. This album features performances from Lil Uzi Vert, Babyface Ray, Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Lil Durk, Bryson Tiller, and more. Soon thereafter (Sept. 10), the Canadian artist dropped a new visual for “Lost Me,” in which he collaborated with RealestK on a song about a love interest that proved disloyal:
A black-and-white clip accompanying the music video for the NAV, 254Bodi, Money Musik, and HONEYWOODSIX-produced track portrays a single room in an artsy manner. NAV sits on a throne with an amount of money, and RealestK makes his appearance flanked by mannequins wearing sunglasses.
In the first week of the album’s release, Hits Daily Double estimates that Demons Protected by Angels will sell 50,000 to 55,000 equivalent album units. The number of units sold for Emergency Tsunami, released in 2020, would be higher if the figures are accurate. Emergency Tsunami debuted on the Billboard 200 at number six thanks to the sale of 42,000 units. As with Demons Protected by Angels, Emergency Tsunami showcased a variety of star power, featuring Young Thug, Gunna, Lil Baby, SahBabii, Future, and the late Lil Keed.
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.
Two years have passed since Megan Thee Stallion released her debut studio album Good News, which featured 17 songs and features by City Girls, DaBaby, Lil Durk, Popcaan, SZA, Big Sean, Beyoncé, 2 Chainz, and Young Thug. After 100,000 first-week album equivalents were sold, Good News peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 – Meg also achieved Platinum status for the album.
There has been an influx of releases from the Houston talent since then, including the mixtape Something For The Hotties, as well as loose cuts such as “Sweetest Pie” and “Plan B.” Other songs she has appeared on include Ariana Grande “34+35 (Remix),” Lil Nas X “DOLLA SIGN SLIME,” Juicy J “SHE GON POP IT,” Maroon 5 “Beautiful Mistakes,” Lil Baby “On Me (Remix),” Bankroll Freddie “Pop It,” DJ Khaled “I DID IT,” DJ Snake “SG,” and Shenseea “Lick.”
A new single from Megan Thee Stallion, “Pressurelicious,” has arrived (July 21), featuring Future and the kind of confident, adult-themed topic matter that these two are known for (“I am stomping on hoes so hard, I’m knocking them out like Mario tokens”). The track is expected to dominate both the radio airwaves and club dance floors as with previous releases.
The VR music tour “Enter Thee Hottieverse,” created in collaboration with AmazeVR, has been in theaters for several months. Quest 2 headsets were used for the virtual event, which allowed attendees to watch Megan perform in real time. Additionally, they had the opportunity to enjoy Megan’s music videos and interact with other local fans. If you are interested in participating in the futuristic event in your area, you can find upcoming dates here.
A year ago, King Von released his brand new project called Welcome To O’Block, which features 16 tracks and demonstrates assists from Polo G, Lil Durk, Prince Dre, Dreezy, Moneybagg Yo, and Fivio Foreign. This project was particularly successful for the Chicago emcee, as it ended up at the 5th position on the Billboard 200. Unfortunately, Von couldn’t be around for celebrating the latest achievement, as he was killed in Atlanta just one week following the release of Welcome ToO’Block, which ended his career when he was just starting off.
Until now, Welcome To O’Block released videos for “Why He Told,” “All These Niggas,” “How It Go,” “I Am What I Am,” “Gleesh Place,” “The Code,” “Wayne’s Story,” and “Armed & Dangerous.” Now, it is possible for fans to check out the video for “Mine Too,” produced by JishBeatz, Pooh Beatz, Turn Me Up Josh, and Hitmaka. In this video, the rapper can be seen talking about his upbringing, legal issues, and beefs with other artists.
The video was shot by Jerry Production, and showcases King Von with his crew outside a massive residence along with several high end cars. The high energy that he is popular for can be seen throughout the video, while a pretty woman can be seen on a nearby staircase. Needless to say, the video is very bittersweet.
