Young Dolph is currently being honored throughout the country by helping those in need in their communities today (Nov. 17). In addition to the commemorations of the Memphis rapper’s short life, it was also announced recently that his estate will be releasing a new album entitled Paper Route Frank, expected to be released on Dec. 9. Gucci Mane, Key Glock, and Peewee Longway are confirmed to appear on the album.
As the aforementioned sample and title suggest, fans will be able to listen to a single titled “Get Away” before the posthumous body of work is released. The single, produced by Ghostrage and Sosa 808 and being sung by Sayd, takes the form of a verse about wanting to be free from the stress of the daily grind:
In anticipation of the release of the single “Get Away,” Key Glock released an EP in tribute to his cousin, Paper Route Empire 5 Life, which can be translated as Paper Route Empire 5 Life. Taking it back to the roots, Yellow Tape star and Yellow Tape standout “Die Trying” makes it clear that he is committed to continuing the movement Dolph started.
Almost two years have passed since Rich The Kid released his last full-length LP, Boss Man, a 20-song body of work featuring Quavo, Lil Baby, Nicki Minaj, Future, Lil Tjay, Post Malone, and more. In addition to his collaborative projects with YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Lil Wayne, he was also involved with Trust Fund Babies and Nobody Safe. Additionally, he supplied the Lucky 7 EP as well as some loose cuts and featured appearances, including “Boss Bitch” with Coi Leray, “That’s All” with YoungBoy, “Bussdown” with Headie One, “Rocket Launcher,” “Prada” with Skillibeng, and “Crypto” with Takeoff.
RCA Records recently announced Rich The Kid would be partnering with them for the release of his new single “Motion” yesterday (Nov. 14). Additionally, fans can also take a look at a matching visual on DrewFilmedIt, which shows him catching vibes while exhibiting different facets of his wealthy lifestyle in a matching visual that is brought to you by DrewFilmedIt.
In the months prior to the release of “Motion,” Rich The Kid suffered the loss of Migos Takeoff, with whom the “Plug Walk” rapper had worked with on numerous occasions throughout the course of his successful career. A series of heartfelt messages and images were shared on Instagram by the College Park-based star in tribute to the Migos alum, in which she illustrated the following:
There was no one more important to me today than my brother. As for the rest of my life, everything I have, my twin, my best friend, I simply can’t believe it, I just can’t. I really admire the humility of this man. He used to share shoes and clothes with me before he made it, and we never had a problem sharing them! I miss you already, you did not deserve that kind of treatment! I miss you every single day!! I can’t stop crying. I’m so in love with you, bro, I’ll never be able to let go of you…
Throughout the comments section of that Instagram post, there were many comments from other Rich Forever heads who shared his raw emotions, showing just how crucial Takeoff was to the culture as a whole, as well as the Rich Forever head honcho.
A new EP from Mahalia was released last month entitled Letter To Your Ex. This short and sweet project featured a love story told from different perspectives and spanned just five tracks. The British singer decided over the weekend that it was already time for a follow-up release, and she released the single “Bag Of You.” In addition to the new release, the British singer has released an Oliver Kane-directed video that illustrates her relaxing day at the beach as she sings the descriptive lyrics:
As the “Simmer” singer prepared for the release, she talked about some thoughts that had been on her mind that inspired the song. “I would like to speak with you about some matters. First of all, the fact that you are on your own. Several months ago, I was terrified of being alone,” she wrote on Instagram just before announcing the release of the song. She then proceeded on to describe the detailed process she lived through of finding peace in her solitude in extensive detail. “ In order to accept somebody else’s love with a genuine heart, I had to fall in love with myself again. However, here I am, in fact, in a state where I have accepted myself and have begun to believe in myself and in my heart,” she stated.
Earlier in 2019, Mahalia released her sophomore album, LOVE AND COMPROMISE, featuring 13 tracks and contributions from Terrace Martin, Burna Boy, Lucky Daye, Hamzaa, and Ella Mai. Her Isolation Tapes were released in 2020, and included three previously unreleased tracks.
Headie One has unveiled his latest project, No Borders: European Compilation Project, today (Nov. 11). The release is a collaboration among a number of big names spanning all over the old continent. These include names such as Frenna, Shiva, Koba LaD, Gazo, Kalim, and Chivv. This was revealed in a post made by the 18-year-old North London talent on Instagram, who revealed that this mixtape had been in the works for some time : “ During the last few months, I’ve been traveling a lot to Europe. trying to collab with a variety of different artists from different countries in one project.”
He also reminded his fans in that same post that he has been connecting with international artists for quite some time, showcasing his special brand of bars on a number of songs, including Hamza “Don’t Tell Me,” Jonna Fraser “Money, Power, Respect,” BKO “Profit,” Luciano “Arrived,”and Doums “Thalaso.”
In contrast to last year’s Too Loyal for My Own Good, a thirteen track compilation that included no features, No Borders: European Compilation Project is a compilation with zero features. A year before that, Headie released his long-awaited debut studio album, entitled Edna, in the year 2020, with assistance from AJ Tracey, M Huncho, Young T & Bugsey, Stormzy, Young Adz, Skepta, Drake, Future, and more. A gold certification was awarded to the rapper for his debut album that ranked No. 1 on the UK Albums chart and reached the top of the charts. There was also a deluxe edition of Edna released months after it was released with contributions from Rich The Kid, NorthSideBenji, Burna Boy, and RV.
As Headie explained in a past interview with Clash, drill music is now part of a global movement and as such is very important.
“No matter where you are in the world, people are always open to hearing new sounds. There is no doubt that drill is an honest person. When you speak the whole truth without any sugar coating or any forms of disguise, you are simply being true to yourself. You are doing what you know is best for you. Whenever you share a story, you make people aware of that reality, and people feel a part of that. As a result, drill has become part of our everyday lives, because it’s real and it makes sense. I think there is some way in which everyone can relate to it, and that’s why it will always grow.”
There is no doubt that this newly emerging generation of talent has been embraced by fans of all stripes. Artists such as Yung Bleu are part of a cohort that will only grow and improve over time. The Alabama rapper has been relentlessly pushing forward since 2015 with his Investments mixtape series. This eventually led to where he is today. It is no secret that the music industry is a well-oiled machine these days and you can be sure that Bleu will be one of the few to stand out among the crowd. New music is released every week at a rapid pace and you can bet all your money that Bleu will stand out among the crowd. A new album from the Moon Boy himself will be released today (Nov. 11).
As the album’s lead single, Yung Bleu and Lil Wayne collaborated on “Soul Child,” a buzzing, punchy rap track where Bleu reflects on how far he has come in his career. During his interview with the Daily Mail, the Alabama rapper describes everything he has accomplished in the past year, including collaborating with Drake and purchasing a new whip. It was my job to explain how a Drake feature should be used. The rapper announced that he had been nominated six times, that he used to wait in line, and that he had gotten us accommodated.
I dominated the market for the last seven months. There are a few common denominators among the cars we drive. This could be your life or you could be the one commentating on it.
Along with Weezy, the 17-track project features appearances from French Montana, Nicki Minaj, Fivio Foreign, Kelly Rowland, Zayn, Lucky Daye, Neyo & Ty Dolla Sign. As we are experiencing a period of increased negativity in recent years, this album from Yung Bleu will serve as an aid to help fans regain a positive attitude.
