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 announced today (April 7) that DJ Holiday will release a new single entitled “No Stress” that will feature Wiz Khalifa and O.T. Genasis. Keeping above the nonsense and enjoying life is the key message behind the infectious drop, as the title makes clear.
This collaboration was announced in a recent press release by DJ Holiday, who described how it came together.
“O.T has always been one of my favorites, and I always told him that whenever he came to Atlanta, we would make sure we got a chance to get one in,” he added. “The beat I sent him was destroyed by his hook, so I thought it would be instant heat… As far as I know, my Pittsburgh big dog, Wiz Khalifa, is missing! ”
YS on The Track, a New Jersey based talent who provided the booming production for the song, was also mentioned by him. “For weeks, I had been listening to that beat on the radio, but I really wasn’t sure how to use it. There is a flute on it, and I found myself mesmerized by it, and I couldn’t decide to who to give it to,” the HOT 107.9 host revealed.
“There’s No Stress” follows the Atlanta-based DJ’s string of notable releases this year, including “Wassup Wid It” featuring 2 Chainz, “Flexin” featuring Future, T.I., Meek Mill, and Stuey Rock, and “2 Seater” featuring Quavo and 21 Savage. It is to be hoped that DJ Holiday will be able to deliver even more before the end of 2023.

As fans were treated with the release of NBA YoungBoy‘s latest release, “Next” just a week ago (Feb. 27), the rapper is back today (March 3) with his new offering, “Demon Party.” The song serves as another preview for the rapper’s upcoming Don’t Try This At Home album, which is planned to be released sometime this spring. “Demon Party” is a new music video by Afrojack that has recently been released, directed by Isaac Garcia and set in a snowy mountaintop full of ice and snow. Baton Rouge-raised rapper Biz Markie spits on his latest release about the thoughts that run constantly through his head all the time:
NBA YoungBoy announced back in October of 2022 that he had signed a contract with Motown Records for the release of his album. The Last Slimeto album was released by Slimeto in August of that year, marking the end of his career as a recording artist with Atlantic Records. On the Billboard 200 chart, the album was ranked at No. 2 for more than a week and featured contributions from Rod Wave, Kehlani and Quavo. NBA YoungBoy released several other projects as well, including five mixtapes and two more studio albums, in the last year alone, so he is sure to drop plenty more in the future.
Furthermore, the “Make No Sense” emcee was interviewed recently by Rap Radar, for an interview in which he spoke with journalists B. Dot and Elliott Wilson, in which he discussed his upcoming project, his career expectations and much more.

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.

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.
