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.
The hip-hop artist G Herbo released a new mixtape back in April, entitled Strictly 4 My Fans. The mixtape features 12 songs from G Herbo with some features from GloRilla, Mello Buckzz, and Drench. In a new video that was released on Thursday (May 11), the Chicago talent has shared another glimpse at his latest album, “We Don’t Care,” a cut that was produced by OzOnTheTrack and is filled with the emotional street raps for which he has become known.
“We Don’t Care” is accompanied by a music video, directed by G Herbo and shot by Jaren Holden and Kevin Mares in addition to the song being itself. There are various scenes throughout the documentary that give viewers a first-hand experience of how the rapper lives his life. There are shots of him in the studio, at a night club, and in front of a mural dedicated to the late Juice WRLD. There are also other heavy-hitters making appearances, such as Polo G, Drake, Metro Boomin, and Lil Durk are also set to make an appearance.
It was in October of 2022 that G Herbo released his fifth studio LP, Survivor’s Remorse, a two-part piece of work from the rapper and producer, which featured a comprehensive list of collaborators, including Offset, Benny The Butcher, Future, Jeremih, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Kodak Black, and Young Thug. After debuting at No. 9 on the Billboard 200 chart with 27,500 album-equivalent sales, the album became his third top ten album on the chart, debuting at No. 9 on the chart. As well as contributing to his own songs, Herbo has also recently worked on songs such as NLE Choppa “DISABILITY CHECKS, ”Fredo Bang “Throw Away,” and Trippie Redd “PURE.”
It is with great pleasure that we announce that Nigerian rap artist NLE Choppa has officially released his second album, Cottonwood 2, a follow up to his debut album, Cottonwood, which was released back in 2018. Among the 22 tracks featured on the project were early previews of songs such as “Ain’t Gonna Answer,” and “S**t Me Out, “Champions,” along with the collaboration of Lil Wayne, who jumped on board to contribute to the project with his own verse. Throughout the track, the Memphis emcee channels his inner Weezy energy by referencing one of the most famous hooks of all time, the “Stuntin’ Like My Daddy” hook:
The emcee NLE Choppa has previously released music under the name Me vs. Me back in 2022, a 16-song album boasting collaborations from the likes of G Herbo, Polo G, Young Thug, and Moneybagg Yo. His visuals from the recording have been released since then for cuts from the album that include “Trap Phone,” “Stompin,” and “Lick Me Baby.” The project serves as a follow-up to his 2012 mixtape From Dark to Light as well as his 2015 full-length release Top Shotta, which he released in December.
It can be heard that the 20-year-old rapper NLE Choppa is not only releasing his own music, but he is also featured on a number of recent tracks, including “Krucial” Perry III, “9 Lives” by DDG, “Switches” featuring Clay, “FAITHFUL” featuring Macklemore, “Ostre Pestki” featuring Malik Montana and more. Also in February, the musician participated in the Grammy Museum’s Grammy In The Schools festival with a panel discussion and performance.
In addition to his continuous stream of drops, DDG has also been blessing the fans with a pair of singles in the last month, which include “Reminiscing,” “Way Too Petty,” as well as his most recent, “This Summer.” On Friday (April 20), DDG continues his momentum with a new single called “I’m Geekin.” In the accompanying music video, the rapper takes his family on a luxurious ride while spitting bars to accompany the bragging mood:
DDG’s most recent full-length album is It’s Not Me It’s You, released in 2022, which features NLE Choppa, Kevin Gates, Gunna, Polo G, and Babyface Ray. The album’s release was preceded by well-received singles, including “If I Want You” and “Elon Musk.” He returned shortly thereafter to release the official deluxe edition. A number of new songs were included in the update, including collaborations with Offset, Lakeyah and Coi Leray.
Prior to It’s Not Me It’s You, OG Parker and I jointly released Die 4 Respect in 2021. 11 songs were included in the project, as well as a number of features by artists such as PnB Rock, YoungBoy NBA, and more. Apart from his own albums, the self-taught “Moonwalking In Calabasas” emcee can be identified prominently on recent releases such as “Know How I Get” featuring Baby Rich, “Meat This” featuring Blueface, “Toro” featuring Sho Madjozi, and more.
Having taken a quick break, Calboy has returned to the music scene with his melodic offering once again after taking a very short break. The musician treated his fans to a new song titled “Trippin Bout It” a few days ago. This song is a close follow-up to “Stargaze” which was released early this month. There is a cinematic clip accompanying the accompanying material that tells the story of a team facing the prospect of turning their backs on one another during a risky mission was being attempted by them. Chicago emcee Travers raps about being surrounded by fake love on the track, in which he describes his situation as follows:
It was in 2022 when Calboy released his first EP, Black Heart, which featured eight tracks which were also accompanied by appearances by Jackboy,Fredo Bang, and Joey BADA$$. It was Long Live The Kings that came out in 2020, which originally contained six tracks, along with contributions from artists such as Lil Baby, Lil Tjay, and G Herbo. Following the release of his debut album, he went back with a deluxe edition, adding six new songs and collaborating with the late Yo Gotti, Polo G, Fivio Foreign, and King Von in addition to new collaborations on the album.
Aside from his own releases, the “Envy Me” rapper Calboy has been rattling out guest verses on a number of tracks, including “Pressure” featuring Kodie Shane, “Red Dead” produced for Polo G and Manifest, “Hopeless Romantic” featuring Cz Beats, “Priceless” featuring Flannan, and more.
