It has been a while since EST Gee and 42 Dugg provided us with some hard-hitting visuals from their new mixtape, Last Ones Left, which officially dropped today and includes previous cuts like “Everybody Shooters Too” and “Free The Shiners.” Along with the project is another called “Thump Shit,” which features production from Jared Brown, Spiff Sinatra, Big Papito, and Isaiah Brown and is made up of street-oriented bars that are so multi-layered that more than one listen will not be sufficient to penetrate:
Diesel Films once again works its magic with the video for “Thump Shit,” which is a testament to what it means to live the rockstar lifestyle. As shown in various positions throughout, 42 Dugg and EST Gee are both decked out in heavy jewelry. In addition, they appear in a nightclub where Lil Baby makes an appearance.
Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group recently found success with Last Ones Left, which also features BlocBoy JB, Blac Youngsta, Moneybagg Yo, and Mozzy–the last of which Gotti announced during a CMG conference that took place over the weekend of the Super Bowl:
The legendary rapper said he has always wanted to work with an artist from the West Coast. “We’ve had big conversations, ran into each other, and shared ideas for years. Tonight, we bring our mozzy into CMG as a part of our partnership.”
Rappers have been hitting the scene in recent times and Fivio Foreign is one of those. A rapper who consistently creates bangers from singles and features without any full-length albums must be a different breed of artist. The popularity of social media and streaming is reaching new heights every day, which makes it possible that music will be here tomorrow and gone the next. Even though he has yet to prove to the world that he can overcome the odds set against him in this industry, New York rapper Eminem has proven beyond doubt that he can succeed. The highly anticipated debut album of Fivio Foreign, titled B.I.B.L.E., is now available.
In conjunction with the release of his second album, B.I.B.L.E., Brooklyn rapper Big Drip has released a documentary. Directed by Sam Balaban, the film takes an in-depth look at the life of “Big Drip” rapper, unveiling his family, the creative process of how he created music, and his experiences with losing those he loved, including his mother. One somber scene shows him saying, “I have lost family members and people close to me all my life.” “Death has always been a part of my life. When my mother died, I couldn’t forget her. When you experience these moments, you kinda wonder if God is real. But it’s important to remember that God is the reason we experience these moments. It’s natural to be sad sometimes, but we have to understand that it’s just part of life.”
Ye served as the executive producer for the album in an effort to add some sauce. Featuring 17 songs and 17 features, B.I.B.L.E. includes Ye, A$AP Rocky, Quavo, DJ Khaled, Alicia Keys, Lil Yachty, Vory, Polo G and more!
It was back in February when Fivio Foreign, Kanye West, and Alicia Keys collaborated on “City of Gods,” an impressive anthem that eventually made it onto West’s Donda 2 album. As of today (April 7), Hemz, Lil Mav, the AyoAA, The Chainsmokers, Ojivolta, Tweek Tune, Dem Jointz, and West-produced track is further extended by Keys herself, who tickles the ivories of New York City by reiterating:
With “City of Gods (Part II)“, Sylvia Zachary and Sing Lee create a accompanying video that features Keys arriving in an unusual Mercedes Benz, adorned with a heavy amount of jewelry and a high-profile guest appearance by rap legend Slick Rick. Keys appears to be riding into the distance with an effect that makes it appear as if she is headed into the future.
The artist’s eighth studio album released last year was titled KEYS and featured 26 tracks over two volumes along with contributions from Mike Will Made It, Swizz Beatz, Pusha T, Lil Wayne, Swae Lee, and more. According to an interview with the multitalented artist, this was the process of creating the album:
ALICIA was my last project and I knew KEYS would follow suit. It was imperative to me that I stay true to my core as I did with ALICIA. I spend just as much time at the piano as I can writing songs, creating timeless music.”
Earlier this week, its estate announced that posthumous emcee Phife Dawg’s long-awaited album, Forever, had been released. Today (Mar. 22) marks the sixth anniversary of his death, so it is perfect timing for the release of this project via AWAL.
Rapsody’s new album contains 13 tracks that are backed by a long list of collaborators, including Rapsody, Renée Neufville, Busta Rhymes, Redman, Q-Tip, Lyric Jones, Little Brother, POS, and plenty others. Production responsibilities were handled by people such as J Dilla, 9th Wonder, Angela Winbush, and more. Listeners were able to enjoy “Nutshell Pt. 2” before the album was released and Phife was able to showcase his rap talent alongside Busta Rhymes and Redman:
Associated Producer and collaborator Dion “Rasta Root” Liverpool voiced his excitement about the project’s upcoming release: “I’m thrilled to be a part of Phife’s legacy.” He must be reading the credits and working on the artwork in the background.”
Malik’s wife Deisha Taylor stated that the release of Phife Dawg’s album has left us overwhelmed with excitement. Having waited six years for this, our happiness is limitless.”
New York-born MC Joey Bada$$, who was nominated for four GRAMMY Awards, had spent time working on his debut album, collaborating with trusted artists, and curating a catalogue of songs that represented his music. An early report suggested the album would be entitled Give Thanks and the project was initially scheduled to be released in 2017. Listeners were offered the track “Beat The System” in 2020, as well as the single “Nutshell” in 2016.
50 Cent grew giddy when he learned about the praise he received from Snoop Dogg, his friend and collaborator.
A video of Snoop Dogg’s appearance on Wallo and Gillie Da Kid’s popular radio program, “Million Dollaz Worth of Game,” was included in a post The New Yorker shared on Instagram on Tuesday (March 22). It is said in the clip that 50 will be a legend in rap for eternity. In his records, movies and other stuff, he changed the whole game of New York. He was able to make it run for a little while and put back the spirit of New York. He succeeded. That shit was on lock when he figured out what was going on.”
At the moment, I am a student, and I am learning from him. There is truth to the statement that an old dog can learn new tricks if he is willing to listen.
“Power” star Snoop’s remarks on 50 and his legendary status touched him and he thought the message was more important than recognition at an awards ceremony. The rapper said in the video, “@snoopdogg, that shit you just said means way more than a trophy to me.”
The two musicians began working together in 2003 when they were both on 50 Cent’s P.I.M.P. single. Since then, they’ve been collaborating on a variety of projects. The pair has performed together at the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show, with 50 portraying a pastor in his “BMF” series. Now, they plan to script a show based on Snoop Dogg’s murder case from 1993.
Previously, Dogstyle rapper told Deadline that she was thrilled to share the story behind Murder Was The Case. “This was a defining moment in my career and life, and I intentionally waited for the best parter to bring this vision to life. You will soon see how street knowledge makes a difference.”
I found “Murder Was the Case” to be an incredible story. Despite releasing the country’s biggest album, the music mogul was fighting for his freedom in court” 50 cent added. A trip like this can only be had by partnering with G-Unit Film & Television. It’ll be great to work with Snoop on the project.”
