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.
A new song from Kevin Gates dropped on Saturday (March 11) titled “Trying 2 Forgive,” which is an emotional track in which Gates admits to his emotional and mental struggles.
Kevin Gates released his third studio album, Khaza, in 2022, a 19-track collection that included one collaboration with Juicy J featuring on the hit single “Thinking With My D**k.” According to Billboard, the album debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart with sales of nearly 40,000 album-equivalent units during its first week following its release. In the years since, he has kept his fans in the loop with the six-track FYP EP as well as several well-received drops such as “Breakfast,” “7:12pm (Freestyle),” and “Major League.” His contributions can also be heard on songs like Lul Bob “Brackz Yeah,” DDG “Love Myself,” Finesse2Tymes’ “CEO,” FL Dusa “Exhausted,” and T.I. “Active.”
As well as his sit-down with Khaza, Kevin Gates also provided one of the best sit-downs with Yung Miami that can be associated with his show, “Caresha Please.” In the specific session that lasted more than an hour, Gates gave the Floridian star detailed information about his sexual exploits and preferences, which included a 90-day ban on women who do not meet his Muslim-based standards and are not in conformity with them.
“Some women haven’t been taught properly how to clean themselves properly, so they don’t have the necessary skills,” he said. “They have no idea what a vaginal wall cleaning is, so they do not know how it works. The problem is that they do not know that tampons should not be used during that time. Inaccessible uterine lining gets stuck in their walls and causes odors.”
A joint project between Conway The Machine and Jae Skeese will be released on Drumwork Music Group’s label on Friday (March 10). In collaboration with Skeese, the first signee to his imprint, the two will release Pain Provided Profit. In the past, the two artists have collaborated frequently on fan-favorite tracks, including “Crack In The Nineties,” “Blood Roses,” and “Stefon Diggs.” On Saturday (March 3), it was announced that the pair is dropping the first preview of Pain Provided Profit with a new single called “Metallic 5’s.” Throughout the song, Conway The Machine gives a shoutout to his protégé: “It was awesome seeing the way you grow…”
The last time the La Maquina rapper Conway The Machine recorded a solo album was in 2022 with his second album as a solo artist, God Don’t Make Mistakes, a 12-song project that was assisted by artists such as Jill Scott, Westside Gunn, Benny the Butcher, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, T.I., Novel, Beanie Sigel, and more. As of late, it seems that he has been dropping off a few guest verses on recent tracks such as “Red Death” featuring Westside Gunn,” “Saltwater” featuring Black Thought and Danger Mouse, and more.
This weekend, Jacquees released his new album, Sincerely For You, which was the most anticipated album of the year. Future executive produced the project, which serves as his third full-length studio LP and aims to be a milestone in the artist’s career. In total, 17 tracks appear on Sincerely For You, including contributions from Dreezy, Summer Walker, Future, 6LACK, John P. Kee, 21 Savage, and others. As part of the album release, a live performance of the Atlanta artist’s song “When You Bad Like That” was performed. This song sees the Atlanta artist singing about catering to the love interest of his life, with lyrics such as:
In the past year, Jacquees released the Exit 68 mixtape for his fans. A total of 16 tracks were included on this project, with Trey Songz and FYB providing assistance. It was followed by his previous full-length album, King of R&B, which included 18 tracks and was accompanied by appearances by Lil Keed, Tory Lanez, Quavo, Young Thug, Lil Baby, Gunna, Summer Walker, T.I., Lil Gotit, and more.
According to the “Fact Or Fiction” singer, Future and Jacquees have a positive working relationship, which is why Future is the right choice to produce Sincerely For You, as he previously explained in an interview. “I have always looked up to Future as being like a big brother to me, and he has consistently been a person who has supported me. Our roots are on the east side of Atlanta. I have always had the support of the Future behind the scenes, but now it’s time to make sure it’s brought into the spotlight for everyone to see. “He always tells me it is the right time for me to be up here, and he is always willing to support me,” he stated.
In October, Jeezy and DJ Drama teamed up to release the mixtape SNOFALL, which features 42 Dugg, EST Gee, and Lil Durk. After selling 31,000 album-equivalent units during its first week of release, the Atlanta-based duo peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard 200.
It was announced last Friday (Nov. 18) that fans would be treated to a new video for the Don Cannon, FNZ-produced “MJ Jeezy,” and J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League which serves as a reminder to anyone who has forgotten about the “Soul Survivor” rapper’s achievements:
Pilot Industries has released a clip in conjunction with the release of the music video for “MJ Jeezy” and it shows Jeezy taking a trip to Ft. Lauderdale, FL. He can be seen having a great time with the people he loves most, including Jeannie Mae, his wife, and Monaco, his daughter.
SNOWFALL was released three years after Jeezy’s 12th studio album, The Recession 2, which contained 15 tracks as well as contributions from a wide range of guests, including Ne-Yo, Tamika Mallory, E-40, Yo Gotti, Lil Duval, Demi Lovato, and Rick Ross. According to the above-mentioned chart, the project landed at No. 19 with a total of 28,000 units sold in its first week. The album also showed up on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart where it reached the seventh position.
