According to our latest information, CMG (Collective Music Group) is still in the process of taking over the label. Despite his incarceration, Mozzy would not let his incarceration hold him back from seeing the light of day when the second quarter of 2023 comes around. As a rapper, Mozzy has always been a menace, but after Kendrick Lamar gave him an award at the 60th Grammy Awards, Mozzy started putting a whole lot of pressure on him to make a good rap song.
Over the course of more than a decade, the Sacramento rapper has consistently released hot singles. Whether you believe it or not, many people would say that he is among the hardest west coast artists to ever come out of the region. Despite some of his music being overlooked by some to an extent, he will never let that stop him from making quality street music each and every time he performs. As of today (Apr. 7), KOLLECT KALL is out for all to hear.
With KOLLECT KALL, Mozzy releases his 21st EP and the follow-up to last year’s Survivor’s Guilt. After turning himself in to the feds to serve a one year sentence in 2022, the CMG rapper found himself at a crossroads of his career. His plea to a charge of possessing a firearm by a felon convicted of a felony was accepted by the court. As Mozzy began his sentence last July, it is now just a few months before his official return to the United States.
In spite of the fact that it is likely that we will have to wait quite some time before we hear Mozzy’s next full length project, he has delivered fans this new EP to hold them over until then. It was revealed that he was working on the project ahead of the release of his latest single, “Free All The Lifers” which was released alongside a brief trailer that included a phone call from the singer.

The Florida rapper, Kodak Black, released an impressive new track yesterday (Jan. 22) called “Maui Woop,” which is produced by Dyryk and sees the rapper taking a moment to reflect on his life and losses.
In addition to the track, Maui Woop also includes a matching video produced by Cameraman Chris. Kodak Black can be seen entertaining his viewers with a drink on the balcony. He also takes part in water activities, having fun with his kids, and more in the Aloha state. Aside from that, he is seen wearing high-end furs in an unknown setting with his crew of friends.
Kodak Black recently dropped a new album on the heels of his last effort, Kutthroat Bill: Vol 1, which came out last year. The record also included collaborations with the likes of Prince Swanny, NFL Tuewop, VVSNCE, and Lil Crix. Further to this, 2022 was a year in which the 19-track collection Back for Everything was released. There was no doubt that that album would be dominated by the smash hit “Super Gremlin,” a song with an emotional impact that was first released in 2021. In addition to earning a platinum certification on those two singles, they also reached the third spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. A prominent part of the album features a guest appearance from Sniper Gang’s frontman on Kendrick Lamar’s critically acclaimed fifth album, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, released on March 29, 2015. The album set a new standard for hip-hop with its own instrumentals and lyrics. During the week ending January 16, Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers had the top spot on the Billboard 200 chart.

Baby Keem seems to be one of those artists that we are all supposed to like and respect. There is no doubt that the Las Vegas rapper has shot to fame over night, despite the fact that he released EPs and singles before his breakout single “ORANGE SODA.” Keem is set for greatness, and it is without a doubt that he possesses all the qualities that will enable him to attain such lofty status. As quirky and memorable as his lines are, the squeaky and mysterious manner in which he delivers his vocal delivery is also memorable. The way he drops quotables at an impressive rate, he makes his music quotable, and he is a talented producer as well. There is no doubt that every Keem song has its own unique sound. As a result of his close relationship with his cousin Kendrick Lamar, his career is certain to be pushed even further in the future. In addition to the deluxe version of The Melodic Blue, which will be available for a limited time, the 22-year-old rapper also brings us some additional songs for the upcoming Halloween.
As you may have missed earlier in the year when it was announced that Keem’s debut album had been certified gold by the RIAA, then this should come as no surprise to fans given all the impact the album had on the music industry when it was released earlier this year. “I don’t think there is anything like it right now in music, at least not in my opinion,” the Vegas-based artist told Billboard back in September. “I took my time recording every vocal part. During that period of time, I struggled through a lot of things, just learning and growing as a man.” Moreover, he went on saying that he really wanted to make sure he gave people what they really needed, not what they wanted to hear, but what they needed to hear. It would be possible to say that if it were up to some people, it would be easy for me to just make one or several batches of ‘Orange Soda’ and call it a day.”
