It is no secret that R&B has had a major comeback in recent times (not that it was ever really away for that prolonged a period of time) and we are all here to enjoy it. As much as this is pleasing news for R&B fans across the globe, it is also a positive indication that DVSN has opened the floodgates again. We are looking forward to being able to share even more dope music with you as a result of this. We are only a few months away from Christmas, but the singers offer us an aural pleasure package that is much needed given the nearness of the holiday season. There is no doubt that you have been put on the spot so far, but it doesn’t matter what you do – we all fall short from time to time in life, and we all have our own reasons for doing so. The time is right for you to become a part of this party, and now is the ideal time to do so. This morning (Oct. 28), the duo is releasing their highly anticipated full-length album, “Working On My Karma“.
A fitting way to close out October is with a release like Working On My Karma. This is indeed some of their most impressive work to date and what a way to end the month of October. DVSN recently spoke to Complex magazine about the concept of the album. As a result, the song will cover many different emotions that will inspire a journey of growth for the listener. “It is said that honour comes before power,” said Daniel Daley, one half of the DVSN group, who said that pride precedes a fall. “In addition, there’s compassion and remorse, growth and reflection, but most importantly, you need to take a long, frank, honest look at yourself in the mirror, don’t you think? Perhaps it could be as simple as getting lost for a moment and attempting to self-medicate through some other, less desirable method. Maybe I am stepping out and I am just trying to have sex because I already screwed up. This album will take you to all the different areas that this kind of stuff can take you in. We are trying to cover the different aspects of how that works. In terms of growth, this should be at least the beginning, if there is anything that needs to be done for it to happen.
As one of the faces of the younger generation of rap today, there can be no doubt that Kodak Black is one of the brightest stars of the genre. This is a scary sight for a lot of rappers, actually, seeing his work ethic and poise that is unmatched by anybody else. He is only heating up right now. In recent years, he has put on some of the highest-quality shows for the South and for his city that have reached an extremely high level, and there is no doubt that his talent is beyond doubt. There was a period when some people didn’t really understand Yak’s greatness. However, his work speaks for itself. In the previous few months, there has been a number of people who have joined our party for the first time. This is despite the fact that it took some time for them to catch up. With the release of Kutthroat Bill Vol. 1, the Sniper Gang front-man returns to bat with his fifth studio album despite his long absence from the stage.
This is the most appropriate time for Yak to release a comprehensive album with a body of work that encompasses all the themes he has been working on for the past few years. The release of a new album comes as no surprise, since it follows along with the success of his hit single “Super Gremlin” that reached the landmark of becoming 4x platinum in its first week. In recent times, Kodak has gained a great deal of attention. Getting people to talk about him, if there is one thing he knows how to do, it is to make them talk about the things he does. The picture she shared with us shows Monica and Yak enjoying a date. He shows off a Birkin bag he purchased for her when they were on a date. Having sparked rumors that they were an item, it is believed by many that it was a marketing tactic that they used to promote any upcoming music they may have in the works. In either case, it is evident that the publicity is working.
While Kodak Black had 19 records, he tapped four features for contributions so that the majority of the album was his own. The spooky season is just around the corner so don’t miss out on checking out the new album coming from the Florida rapper.
Hit-Boy has released a handful of well-received singles this year, including “Corsa” by Dom Kennedy, “Scholar” with Devin Morrison and 24Hrs, and “Fireproof,” which premiered exclusively earlier this summer. This past weekend, the Pasadena-born producer and artist released his latest single, “Tony Fontana III.” Curren$y contributed an assist and the song was produced by EightSix Productions.
In addition to releasing the single, the Grammy award-winning hitmaker shared a photo on Instagram indicating that there will be a full joint album between him and CurrenSy. “Not [gon’] lie. It may just be that Spitta and Hit-Boy’s upcoming album can save the universe,” read the tweet that accompanied his post.
As a result of his busy schedule behind the boards this year, Hit-Boy has collaborated on several projects, including Bulletproof Soul featuring Pacman Da Gunman and HITGIRL alongside Dreezy. Moreover, he produced “Thique” on Beyoncé’s RENAISSANCE album, which he later revealed that he had been keeping for nearly eight years. Together with Nas, he released the Magic album in 2021, and also teamed up with Big Sean to release the What You Expect EP the following year.
The producer of “Feeling Myself” recently discussed why he is more determined than ever before to personalize his work. “It has been common for people to play my music at events and in clubs, and they seem to love it, so I would like to implement my own unique version of performing the music that I have created, rather than just observing it from the outside,” he said. “For my compositions, as well as my performances, I would like to keep the music organic and natural in nature since I am discussing things that are happening in my life, from my son to my family.”
A new track by HotBlock Jmoe titled “9 X Outta 10” has been released over the weekend. Tory Lanez contributed to the track’s production. It features the duo drinking, watching beautiful women, and parking luxury cars in front of an elegant mansion backed by Legit Looks. With regards to the growing pains that come with success, Jmoe begins the song by addressing them:
A recent interview with Jmoe revealed that he felt that “9 X Outta 10” was about expressing himself. “Embracing my brand-new lifestyle, while still eager to learn more”, he said. In order to be the hottest, I think long nights and consistency will go a long way, so if I keep working hard, I will be the hottest nine out of ten times.”
In 2022, the Illinois-born artist HotBlock Jmoe has released only two other singles, “Long Road” alongside G Herbo and “Song 1.” Sage The Mode was his last recording in 2021. Furthermore, last year, HotBlock Jmoe also treated fans to a variety of loose tracks, including “Damn Shame,” “What It Cost (Toosii Mix),” “Aladin,” “Vaccine Freestyle,” and “Discrete.” In addition to his own music, Jmoe has contributed to recent songs including “Fast” featuring DaTwinz, “What We Do” with Rioo Cheeny, and more.
A new single from Lil Uzi Vert, “Just Wanna Rock,” was released today (Oct. 17). It was produced by Synthetic and MCVertt and probably takes inspiration from Jersey club music. The track features a short, carefree verse from the Philly rapper:
As you may recall, Uzi released the 10-song EP Red & White in July, which included production by Hitkidd, ShaunGoBrazy, Mustard, Brandon Finessin, Don Cannon, Bally, Sonny Digital, and more. Prior to this collaboration, the artist collaborated with Future on Pluto x Baby Pluto, a 2020 album that reached the number two spot on the Billboard 200 in its first week, selling 105,000 equivalent album units. Within days of its initial release, Pluto x Baby Pluto was released in a deluxe edition with eight additional songs.
In a recent interview with Jazzy’s World TV, Uzi discussed the influence of his hometown on his image and style:
“Philadelphia had a profound effect on me as a person by helping me mould myself into the person I am today, because it always brought me around a very diverse group of people. I would be with the friends that I had in Philadelphia, which some might refer to as the hood. Due to the fact that I spent time in the suburbs with my friends, it made me who I am today. If it weren’t for Philadelphia, I probably would not be Uzi.”
