With Thanks 4 Nothing, Tink’s first album in over a year, Tink returned in February with a 14-track body of work featuring features from Yung Bleu and Ty Dolla $ign. There was no shortage of excitement over the weekend when the Illinois-born singer released his video for the song “Gangsta’s Paradise” from his upcoming album. Throughout the new video directed by Josh Jones, Tink makes an attempt to pull off a robbery before the situation eventually takes an unexpected turn that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. This song was written by Hitmaka over an instrumental by her that refers to her as a ride-or-die type of person:
There was an album released in 2022 that preceded Thanks 4 Nothing, Pillow Talk, which contained 16 songs and featured appearances by Russ, Fabolous, Toosii, Muni Long, Layton Greene, and others. Besides the songs she has released for herself, the artist can also be heard on some of her most recent collaboration projects; including “Somebody” with Vedo, “Whatever” with Babyface, “I’m Tryin” with Eric Bellinger, and more.
As Tink mentioned in a previous interview, she will be taking a different approach for the next body of work they will create. “I must take some time out of my busy schedule to just center myself and to do a lot of living. It’s time for me to take another direction and say something new on the next album that I’ll be releasing. It is necessary for me to experience more life. As a writer, I find that everything I write comes from a very personal place. Every time I write, I’m trying to convey the story of someone who might be struggling or trying to convey my own story,” she explained to me.
It is expected that IDK will release his upcoming album, F65, by the end of this year. Following the release of “Radioactive” last month, he carried his momentum through the weekend with the release of “850.” The Rich The Kid-assisted, future funk cut features a booming beat produced by BLWYRMND and SB Paolo, plus an accompanying music video that has been directed by IDK himself.

Having released his last solo album in 2021, IDK was able to create a 17-song body of work that featured contributions from Jay Electronica, Young Thug, Westside Gunn, Offset, MF DOOM, Lucky Daye, Rico Nasty, and more. Almost immediately after the release of the original album, he released a deluxe edition that featured nine more tracks as well as new collaborations with artists such as Shy Glizzy, Lil Yachty, Trippie Redd, and Royce Da 5’9″.
Recently, the rapper from the song “42 Hundred Choices”, has been treating his fans with a simple song. During the year 2022. A joint effort between KAYTRANADA and Denzel Curry, this EP also featured guest appearances from Denzel Curry and Mike Dimes. It is noteworthy that he has also been featured on a variety of collaborations outside of his own work, such as “Trials” with NGHTMRE, “Sailor On The Moon” with Masked Wolf, “Psychedelic Views” with Sad Night Dynamite, “Burnin Bridges / Long Day” with Quadeca, and more.
The Bulletproof Soul EP, a collaborative effort between Pacman Da Gunman and Hit-Boy, was officially released back in March of 2022, on the third anniversary of the passing of Nipsey Hussle, on the day of his death. A total of nine tracks were featured on the project and additional assistance was provided by Dom Kennedy, aPeezy, J Stone, B. Carr, nd Yhung T.O. In addition to that, the Los Angeles based artist has dropped off plenty of singles since then, such as “Broken,” “Examples,” “Poetic Justice,” and more.

With Pacman’s signature gritty flow, BeatBoy has provided the perfect backing instrumental for Pacman’s new single:
Before Bulletproof Soul, there was 2021’s 6325, an album with ten tracks on which a number of artists were featured, including Kacey Khaliel, Derek King, Sncr, Richard Fisher,and the late Hussle. Besides his own releases, he was also able to deliver guest verses on a number of tracks, such as “Got Me” with $tupid Young, “Ask The Opps 2” with Yhung T.O., “BIG STEPPAS” with Kruk One, “Money Man” with Conradfrmdaaves, and more.
According to Pacman Da Gunman, who spoke about how it was living without his mentor and collaborator Hussle when he passed away in a previous interview, life has been very difficult for him. As I said, it’s kind of weird to be outside in LA now that Hussle has left. As I recall, Peezy from Detroit came out here and said, ‘Boy, it just doesn’t feel like Detroit out here’ It’s crazy because he’s from Detroit, yet he can feel the same feeling out here. There is a lot of sadness for those of us who had the pleasure of knowing him and having known him for so long. And I am sure that it always will be.”
