At the moment, Rich The Kid is working steadily on the release of his next album, a project that is titled Life’s A Gamble, which will take place later this year. In the last few months, the Atlanta-based talent has delivered a number of fantastic singles that will appear on the upcoming album, namely “Where’s Dexter” by Jay Critch and Famous Dex, “Motion,” “No More Friends,” “Richard Mille Patek,” and “Boss B**ch,” “Prada” by Coi Leray.
On Friday, February 24th, the “Plug Walk” emcee added to what he already had going on with his latest track “Do You Love Me?” Produced by Mozz and Yoshi featuring Bronx’s own Lil Tjay as the featured artist, the track has one of the best verses to date from the rapper.
“Do You Love Me?” was also accompanied by an accompanying video made by Sebastian Beltran, as well. As you can see in the video, the two collaborators are able to relax and record music while they are in an unknown snow-filled location.
As it turns out, it’s been three years since Rich The Kid has released his last long-player, Boss Man, a highly anticipated 20-track record that features a slew of A-listers such as Future, Lil Baby, Nicki Minaj, Quavo, Post Malone, and more. As a result, Rich The Kid was chosen as a collaborator for the joint efforts Nobody Safe and Trust Fund Babies by Lil Wayne and YoungBoy Never Broke Again, respectively. As well as that, he also released a book of loose cuts and features in the form of his Lucky 7 EP, which included tracks like “Rocket Launcher” by Skillibeng, “Bussdown” by Headie One, and “Crypto” with Takeoff.
The highly anticipated It’s Only Me album from Lil Baby was released back in October of 2022, which made him return to the forefront of music. The project boasted a variety of guest appearances including Rylo Rodriguez, Pooh Shiesty, Young Thug, EST Gee, Future, and others that were featured on 23 of the tracks of the project. As a result of its debut week sales of 216,000 album-equivalent units, It’s Only Me landed on the top of the Billboard 200, earning it a very high rating.
This past weekend, Diamond-certified rapper Lil Baby Gunna dropped off the official music video for the fourth track on his debut album, “Forever.” The new Fridayy-assisted video was directed by Cam Busby and illustrates a romantic getaway on a tropical island during which Gunna and his girlfriend are on their honeymoon. Throughout the track, the “Yes Indeed” rapper tells the story of a back-and-forth which takes place between him and his love interest:
Lil Baby’s second solo album, It’s Only Me, follows up the success of his 2016 My Turn LP, which featured Moneybagg Yo, Future, 42 Dugg, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Wayne, Gunna, Young Thug, and Rylo Rodriguez over the course of 20 tracks. During its opening week, My Turn was also the best-selling album on the Billboard 200, with 197,000 album-equivalent units moving during that week. After announcing the deluxe version of the album on Instagram, the Atlanta native turned around and released his hit songs from the album, including the Grammy-nominated “We Paid” and the Grammy-winning “The Bigger Picture.”
The Only The Family collective of Lil Durk and his Endless Enthusiasm has unveiled its follow-up to the Loyal Bros compilation that was released in 2021. During this round of the album, fans will be able to enjoy 23 tracks that have been provided by Icewear Vezzo, Kodak Black, Future, BIG30, and Trippie Redd.
The visuals for Lil Durk’s standout track from Loyal Bros 2 have come out just a few days after the release of the album, “Block Is Hot,” a collaborative effort between Durk and rising star Deeski. Lala the DJ is responsible for producing the track, along with PHIL, King Osama, and Joel Demora, which pays homage to a classic Lil Wayne single while instilling in listeners a vivid picture of the streets of Chicago, including:
This video clip, which celebrates the release of Lil Durk’s banger “Block Is Hot”, features the rapper, Deeski, as well as other members of OTF appearing in different parts of Chicago, including the neighborhood of Englewood. As well as showing off stacks of money, Durk & Co. have been spotted paying tribute to fallen rapper King Von, as well as showing off some of their own cash.
In addition to Loyal Bros 2, Lil Durk also dropped a seventh studio LP in March called 7220. This album features 17 songs and has collaborations with Gunna, Summer Walker, and Morgan Wallen. It was only several months after the chart-topping album was released that a deluxe edition of the album was released with 13 additional tracks and collaborations with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Moneybagg Yo, EST Gee, and more.
This is the official start of Lil Baby season. A new documentary on rapper Lil Baby, Untrapped: The Story of Lil Baby, was released last week, giving viewers an insight into the star’s life and career. Lil Baby follows up recent loose singles “Frozen,” “In A Minute,” and “U-Digg” with a new track titled “Detox,” which may indicate a new studio album is coming soon.
The sophomore studio LP My Turn by Lil Baby was released two years ago, and it contained 20 songs and features from Future, 42 Dugg, Gunna, Lil Uzi Vert, Moneybagg Yo, Lil Wayne, Young Thug, and Rylo Rodriguez. Despite the project’s critical and commercial success, it failed to reach number one on the Billboard 200, despite selling 197,000 CD-equivalents during its first week. Several months later, a deluxe edition of the four-times Platinum effort arrived with seven additional songs, including the smash hit “We Paid” and Grammy-nominated “The Bigger Picture.”
As part of the Voice of the Heroes album, Lil Baby partnered with fellow hip hop frontrunner Lil Durk, who collaborated with artists such as Young Thug, Meek Mill, Future, and Rod Wave. In addition to topping the chart with 150,000 equivalent album units, The Voice of the Heroes also topped the Billboard chart, as well. Both parties received Platinum plaques for their efforts.
He has quickly established himself as one of the most sought after featured artists across a wide range of genres apart from his own work. Among the songs he has appeared on since The Voice of the Heroes hit the ground are EST Gee “5500 Degrees,” H.E.R. “Find A Way,” Meek Mill “Sharing Locations,” Drake “Girls Want Girls,” Kanye West “Hurricane,” Nardo Wick “Me Or Sum,” Ed Sheeran “2step (Remix),” Nicki Minaj “Do We Have A Problem?,” and DJ Khaled “BIG TIME.”
This month, Young Thug and his Young Stoner Life collective decided to release the second installment of their Slime Language series, featuring 23 tracks and many appearances from Travis Scott, Drake, Rowdy Rebel, Lil Uzi Vert, Coi Leray, Big Sean, Skepta, Future, Yung Bleu, Kid Cudi, Meek Mill, and loads more. Now, he is back with a deluxe edition of Slime Language 2 that has emerged with eight more tracks and collabs with none other than Don Toliver, DaBaby, NAV, and Jim Jones, among others. It is safe to state that the project is quite successful already, as it ended up at the top of the Billboard 200 as 113,000 album equivalent units were sold within the first week of its release.
In order to ensure that the momentum goes on, Thugger & Co. also released a brand new video from the project for Thug, Gunna, YTB Trench, and Lil Baby’s “Paid The Fine,” which was produced by Sean Momberger and Wheezy, which elaborates upon the hard work and dedication that went into attaining success.
The video was directed by DrewFilmedIt, and starts off with recent footage of Young Thug and Gunna paying off bonds for 30 low-level offenders at Fulton County Jail. The narrative goes on in the clip as families can b reuniting and celebrating together, which can be attributed to the Atlanta collaborators’ goodwill. The video also shows people like Bankroll Freddie.
