In anticipation of the release of Joey Bada$$’s 2000 album on July 22, he has provided fans with a brief preview entitled “Zipcodes.” The accompanying video revolves around the track’s title by following Joey through different cities. The Waqas Ghani-directed visual embodies the lyrics by showing up by the Louvre Museum in Paris and shopping all over Europe:
There was a previously scheduled release for the album earlier this month, but it was postponed at the last minute as a result of a sample clearance issue. From the year 2000, fans were able to enjoy “Head High,” “Survivor’s Guilt,” and “Where I Belong,” which was dedicated to departed artists Junior B and Capital Steez.
Following the release of ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$ in 2017, titled 2000, which featured a variety of artists, Chronixx, ScHoolboy Q, Nyck Caution, Meechy Darko, Kirk Knight, Styles P, and J. Cole. Five thousand album equivalent units were sold during its first week on the Billboard 200, making the project a top five success for Joey.
In the wake of her new single, Millie Go Lightly unveiled her latest offering “Saddle Up,” a collaboration with Will Keating and Acoustic Trap Morgan O’Connor. While taking a step away from hip hop, Millie’s latest release demonstrates her incredible range and versatility as an artist while bending genres. “Saddle Up” marks the beginning of The Good, The Bad, And The Beautiful, a new album by Millie Go Lightly. Aside from that, the upcoming body of work will be based on the artist’s experiences in Nashville.
She got lightened up in the past few years by aligning herself with Young Thug’s Young Stoner Life collective and the Atlanta music scene. There are several songs she has contributed to during that time, including SG Tip, Real Recognize Rio and Lil Harold “Down Bad” Lil GotIt “Take Care,” Thugger “Family Don’t Matter,” and Landstrip Chip “Wraith.” Also, she has released some killer songs of her own Lil Keed, “Make You Better” and “Jealousy” featuring Rylo Rodriguez alongside Unfoonk, and “Ocean Deep” are only a few examples.
According to Millie Go Lightly’s past interview with The Hundreds, Young Thug inspired her to do what she did:
When I was working in London with a producer who was working with Frank Ocean, I was working with this producer. When I was a kid, I bought beats off the internet and wrote to them when I was at home. It was therefore my pleasure to send these to everyone, including London On Da Track, who at the time was on tour with Thug. The email was sent to him, then Thug heard it. The ‘HI-HORSE Tour’ was taking place at the show. My first meeting with him was upon arrival and I began working with the same people as before.
In just over a year from this past Saturday (July 2), G Herbo released his fourth studio album 25. As part of that project, a number of artists contributed, including Lil Tjay, Polo G, 21 Savage, Gunna, Yosohn, The Kid LAROI, and Rowdy Rebel, whose contribution was especially notable on “Drill.” Produced by Luca Vialli, “Drill” combines Chicago and Brooklyn with hard-hitting bars that reflect the similarities between the two territories:
With the release of the video for “Drill,” G Herbo celebrates 25’s one-year anniversary with a Zae Production directed video. There are several locations where Rebel links up with his Chicago counterpart, including a quick market with a crowd of people, as well as a high-end SUV.
Aside from “Drill,” G Herbo has also provided his fans with 25 images and videos captured during the 25 album campaign. You can find photos of freestyles by visiting his Instagram account, as well as intimate photos with family, notable performances, and more. Hardcore fans were probably also delighted to see that G Herbo’s website was offering a 25% discount on its merch over the weekend.
A few days before July arrived, LuLu P dropped off a music single entitled “Meta,” a song filled with laid-back rhymes about money, women, his position in the industry, and more:
Since the beginning of the decade, LuLu P has been blessed with top tier body of work, including Himalayas, Thanks LuLu, and BIG 16 (All American P), as well as collaborations with Larry June, Sauce Walka, as well as more. A four-month period in the year 2020 saw the Maryland-born artist release a complete set of loose tracks spanning his entire career, this included “Lunch Line,” “Born From Pain,” “Thouwow,” “Coke Flow,” “Nuthin’ New,” “Expand The Market,” “Detroit Red,” “Cartier Lenses, and ost Electrifying.
A$AP Ant’s Marino Infantry movement, in addition to LuLu P’s solo work, has been an integral part of his career as well. Together with members such as Baby 9eno, Soduh, and Lil 2 Dow, LuLu‘s bars have been featured on compilations including Vol. 2, Enter The Infantry, Enter The Infantry, and Infantry Warz. In addition to his role in the endless line of pop-ups and shows throughout the country for Marino Infantry, he has also been a prominent figure at Marino Infantry’s merch pop-ups. LuLu and the D.C. area/Baltimore-based collective are probably going to release a new album before the year 2022 has come to an end.
