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.”

It was just a short time ago that Doe Boy took the world by storm with the release of his new project, BEEZY, a 16-track collection featuring Lil Yachty, Babyface Ray, Don Toliver, Future, EST Gee, Lola Brooke, DaBaby, and more. Earlier this week (June 20), the Cleveland star released the video for the single “RHUDE BOY,” which serves as the lead track off the upcoming project. Doe Boy’s self-described hard-hitting subject matter finds the perfect environment for the BWheezy-produced cut’s setting as it borrows inspiration not only from Shyne’s ‘Bad Boyz’, but also Grace Jones’ ‘Nightclubbing’, that, in turn, creates a syncopated environment ideal for the hard-hitting beat.
A clip accompanying the video has been directed by Fast Life Productions and takes the viewer on a journey to South Jamaica, Queens. In that country, Doe Boy spends time enjoying street food and tequila with his crew at a variety of locations while enjoying street food and tequila from DeLeón Tequila.
A few years ago, the Freebandz general was interviewed for a series of studio sessions, and in his response, he described his ideal setting for creating music. “If there is liquor present, it’s a party. He stated that all he needed was that. “Also, I enjoy being by myself a lot. It is my preference that I be alone with my engineer, myself, and maybe one other person at a time. It means that I do not have to worry about how anyone will react to what I have to say, and that I can concentrate on what I want to say instead. That’s when I will be singing songs that are deep and tapping into what I’m feeling.”

As you already know, Key Glock will be releasing the deluxe edition of his February release, Glockoma 2, this Friday (June 23), which will include eight additional songs that fans can enjoy. In their first single from their forthcoming album titled “Presidential Rolex,” the Memphis rapper takes a look back at the lifestyle of his wealthy friends and family in “Presidential Rolex”, a rap song produced by Grayson Beats and Tay Keith.
“The Presidential Rolex” also features an accompanying clip that comes thanks to the team over at 2Bros Films. Viewers can catch a glimpse of Key Glock at an unknown location at the bottom left corner of the screen catching vibes with his crew.
In the weeks following Glockoma 2, Key Glock appeared on a Ben Stein show called “Big Facts,” where he delved into the story of how he came to achieve the level of success he has earned in the music industry. “That really caught me off guard,” he told me after hearing what happened. “A n**ga comes from all these slums, they really come from nothing. There’s no way you’re going to think these folks are going to know what you’re about to say on the spot, yelling it louder than you.”
Additionally, he described what distinguishes him from his peers. In order to stand out from the crowd, I strive to be as different as possible. It is so important to remain true to yourself, regardless of what you do, where you are, or who you are with, no matter what you do, no matter where you are, or with whom you are together. It is important that you do not try to fit in with the n**gas. Be yourself.”
