The Forever Story is the highly anticipated third album from JID, which was released in August of this year. On this project, you can expect to hear songs from icons such as Yasiin Bey, Johnta Austin, and Lil Wayne. Furthermore, peer artists such as EarthGang, 21 Savage, Lil Durk, Ari Lennox, BADBADNOTGOOD, Mustafa The Poet, and Fousheé. Longtime DJ and producer Christo was responsible for executive producing the Forever Story, which featured ten credits across a total of 16 tracks.
In the wake of the release of The Forever Story today, the Atlanta rapper has unveiled another final touch by tying his “2007” track as the outro to the album. There are a number of guest appearances on this album, including those of Ib Hamad, J. Cole, and JID’s father as well. These guest appearances had initially been left out due to issues regarding sample clearance. The whole song, where JID is able to provide listeners with a detailed history of his career to date, is comprised of the following:
A related development to this story is that Dreamville rapper Cypress Hill has recently announced that he will be performing at the American Music Awards next month alongside Imagine Dragons. Additionally, he will also be embarking on a joint tour with Smino in the near future for their “Luv Is 4Ever Tour.” This tour will span 32 cities across the country and kicks off in Seattle, WA as well as other cities around the country such as Atlanta, Los Angeles, Houston, as well as many more before concluding in Nashville, TN in March.
Last week, Trippie Redd came back to the scene with the release of his latest track, “Ain’t Safe“, which was produced by Don Toliver. It has been a while since the duo last shared a music video, however today (Nov. 3) they have decided to share the video, which was directed and edited by Nolan Riddle. Redd and his new gang take a trip into an out-of-this-world landscape filled with a variety of otherworldly creatures and plants as the rapper spits a few bars about maintaining vigilance at all times:
This year, the rapper from the “Miss The Rage” song has been delivering a number of show-stopping live sets all over the world. He has recently performed at events such as Rolling Loud Toronto, Rolling Loud Miami, and Summer Sky Vol. 1, in addition to the fact that they also supported Machine Gun Kelly “Mainstream Sellout Tour.”
As we all know, Redd has been keeping his fans in the know by releasing his First Draft EP, a two-track bundle that consists of “Save Me, Please” and “1st Degree Murder.” Prior to the release of this EP, Redd had released his fourth studio album, Trip At Knight, which included 18 tracks and features from artists such as SoFaygo, Lil Uzi Vert, Drake, Playboi Carti, Ski Mask The Slump God, XXXTENTACION, Juice WRLD, Polo G, Sada Baby, Icewear Vezzo, Lil Durk, and Babyface Ray. In its first week of release, the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with 81,000 album-equivalent units sold, contributing to its top spot on the chart.
The Memphis Massacre III LP, Duke Deuce’s third album in his fan-favorite Memphis Massacre series, was released last week. The mixtape features a Memphis-only roster of artists, including Big Moochie Grape, Lil Thad, ATM Rich Baby, Glockianna, Dubba C, and Gloss Up, another QC labelmate. The release was accompanied by the video for “Mr. Memphis Massacre,” the first single from the project.
A few hours ago (Nov. 1), the Tennessee native took to social media to release the official music video for the track featured on the mixtape, “Buck The System.” This hilarious visual begins with a scene where the Tennessee native enters a local radio station and asks a DJ to play his new song on the air. Even though the rapper refuses to do so, the “Crunk Ain’t Dead” rapper takes over the studio and blasts out his song regardless of what the artist says. As soon as his hard-hitting lyrics start to fill the room, the only sounds of the entire building are his hard-hitting lyrics:
In June, Deuce released his third album, Memphis Massacre III, following CRUNKSTAR, his debut album. There were a variety of talented names who helped him out with the aforementioned body of work. These names included Slimeroni, Gloss Up, Rico Nasty, Co Cash, GloRilla, JP The Rockstar, Doe Boy, Babyface Ray, Lil Yachty, Juicy J, DJ Tootz, and Dante Smith.
Baby Keem seems to be one of those artists that we are all supposed to like and respect. There is no doubt that the Las Vegas rapper has shot to fame over night, despite the fact that he released EPs and singles before his breakout single “ORANGE SODA.” Keem is set for greatness, and it is without a doubt that he possesses all the qualities that will enable him to attain such lofty status. As quirky and memorable as his lines are, the squeaky and mysterious manner in which he delivers his vocal delivery is also memorable. The way he drops quotables at an impressive rate, he makes his music quotable, and he is a talented producer as well. There is no doubt that every Keem song has its own unique sound. As a result of his close relationship with his cousin Kendrick Lamar, his career is certain to be pushed even further in the future. In addition to the deluxe version of The Melodic Blue, which will be available for a limited time, the 22-year-old rapper also brings us some additional songs for the upcoming Halloween.
As you may have missed earlier in the year when it was announced that Keem’s debut album had been certified gold by the RIAA, then this should come as no surprise to fans given all the impact the album had on the music industry when it was released earlier this year. “I don’t think there is anything like it right now in music, at least not in my opinion,” the Vegas-based artist told Billboard back in September. “I took my time recording every vocal part. During that period of time, I struggled through a lot of things, just learning and growing as a man.” Moreover, he went on saying that he really wanted to make sure he gave people what they really needed, not what they wanted to hear, but what they needed to hear. It would be possible to say that if it were up to some people, it would be easy for me to just make one or several batches of ‘Orange Soda’ and call it a day.”
It was only a few months ago when Redveil released his latest project, learn 2 swim. This was a 12 track offering featuring contributions from Renaissance Mic, Mekdelawit, Fly Anakin, Sam Truth, and ovrkast. Both kinds of acclaim were received from hip hop peers, and the album ultimately led to a regular appearance on Denzel Curry‘s “MELT MY EYEZ TOUR.”
There was a standout track from learn 2 swim that was self-produced, “PG Baby,” an ode to the rapper’s home state of Maryland:
In response to some teasing on social media, Redveil released a remix of the music video for “PG Baby,” which features an appearance by Curry. The Florida singer’s verse, which makes reference to the town where he grew up in the south, adds much to the song.
A matching video for “PG Baby (Remix)” can be viewed below, where the duo can be seen in the midst of their previously mentioned tour. While they are on vacation, the artists were captured in a lo-res video capturing them living it up in a variety of locations.
