Rayven Justice raised his game even higher with the release of his EP titled Many Moons a few months back; the EP is composed of eight tracks with a wide range of musical influences and features guests like Sage the Gemini and K-Major. With a new track out this week, Oakland singer-songwriter daft has returned with his follow-up, “Daddy”. The new record, featuring Traxamillion production, finds Rayven chasing down a certain someone who has come his way:
The EP he released last year, entitled Late Nights Early Mornings, included some narrated thoughts by Rayven Justice. Bizzy Crook, Drenesse, and Trinidad James were included on the eight-track project. As Rayven dropped off R&Bay Volumes 1 and 2 in May and September of that year, he had a busy year overall for that year. Both compilations benefited from the assistance of Yhung T.O, Lil B, Ally Cocaine, Young Bari, Rico Tha Kidd, and plenty more.
While doing this, he also collaborated with a number of peers on songs, such as “Mob Ties” featuring “From This Point On” by Drenesse, “Where You At?” with Baeza and Selo, ALLBLACK anBully Wiz, and “Just Right” with Bryson Tiller. Additionally, he proudly repped Oakland when he was cast in E-40 and Too $hort and Ain’t Gone Do It/Terms and Conditions project.
The music video for “N95” by Kendrick Lamar is now available. This marks the first time a track from his latest album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers has been transformed into a visual.
The “N95” video was live on YouTube Saturday afternoon (May 14). Director Kendrick and his partner Dave Free managed production. As the production company for the eccentric video, they cite their multi-faceted agency pgLang.
This video contains several references to religion, among them crosses that hang on the walls of one room, Kendrick hovering above water with his arms outstretched like Jesus on the cross, and K Dot’s godly flow throughout the video. A cameo appearance by Baby Keem also appears in the mainly black-and-white project.
There are also a few times in the video when the phrase, “THIS HAUNTED HARD” flashes across the screen, but the reminder is unnecessary. There is a lot going on with this visual, which hopefully Kendrick will explain in the future.
A teaser for the video was posted on Free’s Twitter account Friday (May 13). Accra, Ghana, was also tagged in the video, perhaps indicating the location of the shooting.
Kendrick released the audio and visual version of the fifth installment of “The Heart” series earlier this week. The internet almost froze up the moment the media dropped it. It was his dynamic wordplay and strong cadences that made the visual’s deep fakes, which appeared with certain bars, a valuable contribution.
The actor transforms himself into Kanye West, Will Smith, OJ Simpson, Jussie Smollett, as well as former NBA player Nipsey Hussle and Kobe Bryant. Certainly one of the most creative ways to create a visual and he certainly hit the nail on the head with his approach.
A concert tour called “The Big Steppers Tour” will mark the start of K Dot’s touring career in July. This year, Kendrick’s world tour will take him around the world, and it will end in New Zealand in December. Baba Keem is scheduled to perform as the supporting act on all dates, while Tanna Leone will join the crew on select dates.
In his last project, Millionaire Mindset, MoneyMarr had 14 hard-hitting tracks and Rah Swish provided the assist. Having dropped a couple of loose EPs and notable feature appearances lately, it was no surprise to notice the D.C. artist dropped a new song called “Tip Toe” that features some of MoneyMarr’s signature street rhymes:
MoneyMarr also returns with a visual courtesy of Marko Steez, which captures the artist’s hard-hitting lines in full motion. In addition to seeing him in a house with a beautiful woman, masked up in a vehicle with a couple of cohorts, and more, viewers have the opportunity to observe him.
Aside from Millionaire Mindset and Exotic Habits, MoneyMarr also blessed fans with Exotic Habits and Millionaire Mindset, another well-received artwork with a collaboration among fellow artists Xanman, Black Fortune, Taedoe Jugg, Lil Skii, and Baby Fifty. With series like Draco Vibes and Youngest Trappest, MoneyMarr has established himself as one of the most promising artists.
During his recent interview with On The Radar Radio, MoneyMarr expressed his feelings about the overall music scene in the Washington area as follows:
“I feel like we have a scene developing. I support the scene that we have going on, as well as everyone else who’s going strong. Hats off to them. We’re rising right now, we’re doing our little things, and I think we should get noticed a little more. But I think it’s only a matter of time.”
Lil Gotit is not one to shy away from hard work when it comes to his musical output. The Atlanta star released his latest album, The Cheater, this morning (May 4). The album contains 19 songs with feature appearances from Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Keed, Toosii, Millie Go Lightly, BIG30, Enchanting, Yak Gotti, and more. The success of the project is primarily attributed to the singles “She Know It,” “Take Care,” and “Rich $hit.”
Lil GotIt opens the album with two hard-hitting rhymes on “GTF,” proving to any detractors that good production can come from Nile Waves, DecayOnTheBeat, and Jkari:
Additionally, fans can check out a new visual for The Cheater’s Nile Waves and 10Fifty-backed “How You Comin,” featuring CEO Trayle. Prevtwo have previously collaboratedon the equally dope December song, “Walk Down.”
Lil GotIt’s The Cheater arrives less than a year after his fourth studio album, Top Chef GotIt, which features 15 tracks and features Young Thug, Gunna, and NAV. Additionally, he appeared on songs such as R5 Homixide “Knocked Off,” Danny Wolf “High Profile,” Drumma Boy “Wake Up,” Lil PJ “Regardless,” as well as “Happy Father’s Day.”
His career has been one to remember, and he is nowhere close to calling it a day. His legacy extends far beyond Atlanta, and he is without a doubt one of the most celebrated artists of the city. Fans have been waiting two years for a follow-up to his High Off Life album and the Freeband Gang leader has been waiting patiently for some new music since then. Though the time seemed to pass fairly quickly, As little as possible is what Future is known for doing to keep his fans waiting. The toxic king has released his ninth studio album I Never Liked You today (April 29) just in time for the end of the month!
Future’s ninth studio album will be released in January. In an interview with GQ earlier this month, the rapper revealed, “I’m putting myself out there.” “I am revealing my lifestyle,” he said. He said that he would share his pain with the world. “I’m willing to share all of me with the universe, so I can learn how to build on me, and become a better version of me.”
Throughout the artwork, a sleeping rapper lies in the backseat of an apparent luxury vehicle, lying comfortably. An eye mask obscures his vision while he sleeps. Wearing an eggplant-purple silk suit and a bracelet and ring around his wrist and fingers, he is shown here in a photograph. The title of Future’s album has also been a big hit among fans, who have made comments in Future’s comment section praising what they see.
A rapper equipped with 16 records, Future featured seven artists: Gunna, Young Thug, Drake (featured twice), Kanye West, EST Gee, Tems, Kodak Black. I Never Liked You is expected to dominate the summer, considering that summer is just around the corner.
