In a surprise announcement today (June 23), Young Thug unveils his latest album, BUSINESS IS BUSINESS. On top of those 15 tracks, the album features more than a dozen other features, such as Drake, 21 Savage, Future, Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert, and more. Additionally, Metro Boomin has been credited with the role of executive producer on the project.
“Parade on Cleveland,” the project’s opening song, contains a phone conversation between Drake and the artist responsible for the hit single “Best Friend,” with the latter in high spirits throughout the call. “There’s nothing I’m doing, man; I’m just pushing more Peter, and I’m pushing it much sweeter, much better than any other Peter pusher around, so do you hear me, this is what I’m saying to my Canadian counterpart, you can’t hear me.\
This album lands on the scene during Thugger’s ongoing legal battle – a battle that stems from a RICO charge that Thugger and a handful of other members of the group Young Stoner Life (YSL) have been charged with. There have been some members of this group, including longtime collaborator Gunna, who have since been released following plea deals they made. As of last Friday (16 June), Gunna, who is known for all the words he uses to describe his music, has released his newest project titled A Gift & a Curse, where he provides his perspective on these issues.
While Young Thug has been back in jail for more than a year, he has remained on the radar from a musical perspective despite his time in prison. In the years before Young Thug was introduced to the world of BUSINESS IS BUSINESS, he appeared on popular songs such as Calvin Harris “Potion,” Lil Baby “Never Hating,” Killer Mike “RUN,” G Herbo “Breathe Slow,” Quavo and Takeoff “Chocolate,” and Rae Sremmurd “Royal Flush.” Accordingly, in July 2022, the Atlanta star sent an audio message to HOT 97 during the festival of Summer Jam on.
“I would just like to take this opportunity to thank all my friends and family for coming out and supporting us on this day,” he said. YSL and I are not the only ones affected by this. Throughout my career, I have used music to express myself artistically, and I now realize that Black artists and rappers are not allowed to do so. Everyone is kindly requested to sign the petition in support of Protect Black Art and to continue to pray for us. All of you are dear to me.”
A new EP by DaBaby, entitled CALL DA FIREMAN, was released on Friday (May 5). There were three songs on the album and Offset featured on one of them. DaBaby had the honour of bringing the album to the masses. Earlier this week (May 8), the North Carolinian singer released a visual for one of the songs from that same project, “Shake Sumn,” a song that plays in a similar vein to Lil Uzi Vert’s “Just Wanna Rock” both in terms of the short song structure and its high-energy subject matter, which represent a similar style of music.
The accompanying clip to this Charlie Heat-produced offering is directed by Reel Goats and begins with a humorous skit by the artist Funny Marco, who plays a young fool in the clip. In a later episode, DaBaby dons a fireman’s outfit and engages in a series of synchronized dance sessions inside a warehouse, accompanied by a bunch of fellow dancers. Aside from watching the performance live, viewers are also given the chance to see some behind-the-scenes action afterward.
In a major way, CALL DA FIREMAN is a sequel to a movie release from 2019 called, Baby On Baby. The second installment of Baby On Baby contained a total of 14 dope cuts that included a notable appearance by Anthony Hamilton. As part of the same year, he released one of the most notable albums of the year, BETTER THAN YOU which featured YoungBoy Never Broke Again as well as a number of loose tracks including “SHOWING OFF HER BODY” featuring Davido, “WIG” featuring Moneybagg Yo, “BONNET” featuring Pooh Shiesty, “WAITRESS,” and “TOUGH SKIN.”
U.S. rapper Meek Mill returned to the scene over the weekend to share a brand-new set of bars with his fans. The Carters Vision-shot clip, which accompanies the single “Don’t Follow The Heathens (Freestyle),” gives fans a glimpse into Meek’s studio experience as he creates a fresh sound during an intimate studio session. The new song features him effortlessly spitting about trust issues and humble beginnings on his new song:
As of November 20, 2022, the Philadelphia native Meek Mill managed to deliver the most recent release from his label, Flamerz 5, an offering with 15 tracks featuring Tafia, Yung Ro, Vory, Kur, and Fridayy. The last full-length release that he released in 2021 was Expensive Pain, which was his fifth studio album, which featured a number of different artists, including Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Moneybagg Yo, A$AP Ferg, Giggs, Kehlani, and more. As a result of the album’s success, it was ranked number three on the Billboard 200 chart.
The upcoming months will see Meek Mill dropping a lot of upcoming content and fans can expect to hear a lot of it in the near future. “Dream Catching” is the name of the movie. It is anticipated that the launch date will be announced by the first quarter of 2023,” he posted earlier this month on Instagram. “This will be the reason I have been loading up. Come on, let’s play! ”

Herbo, Roddy Ricch, and more. In a new release from his upcoming EP, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie decided to drop off a surprise single over the weekend called “Water (Drowning Pt. 2),” which was a collaborative effort with Kodak Black, which follows up on the hit single from last year called “Drowning.” This melodic offering, which was produced by S.Dot and 254Bodi, reveals the two rappers discussing A Boogie’s hometown, street life, women, and more.
A brand-new album titled Me vs. Myself is scheduled to be released later this year. Artist 2.0 was a 20-song album that featured the likes of Gunna, Summer Walker, Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, DaBaby, and Khalid.

Aside from appearing on his own singles, the “Look Back At It” rapper has also appeared on singles by peers who come from a variety of genres, including Nas, Dave East, SAINt JHN, Snakehips, Giggs, DJ Khaled, and David Guetta. Aside from that, he was kind enough to provide fans with an appetizer, the EP B4 AVA, to get them ready for the imminent release.
Last week, Trippie Redd came back to the scene with the release of his latest track, “Ain’t Safe“, which was produced by Don Toliver. It has been a while since the duo last shared a music video, however today (Nov. 3) they have decided to share the video, which was directed and edited by Nolan Riddle. Redd and his new gang take a trip into an out-of-this-world landscape filled with a variety of otherworldly creatures and plants as the rapper spits a few bars about maintaining vigilance at all times:
This year, the rapper from the “Miss The Rage” song has been delivering a number of show-stopping live sets all over the world. He has recently performed at events such as Rolling Loud Toronto, Rolling Loud Miami, and Summer Sky Vol. 1, in addition to the fact that they also supported Machine Gun Kelly “Mainstream Sellout Tour.”
