A new studio LP from Megan Thee Stallion released last month titled Traumazine. This album includes additional contributions from Latto, Sauce Walka, Dua Lipa, Future, Jhené Aiko, Lucky Daye, Rico Nasty, and more. Houston emcee Houston delivers a new visual from his album for “Ungrateful” a collaboration with Key Glock which is dedicated to anyone who is unappreciative of his love and loyalty:
In the accompanying video clip for “Ungrateful,” Megan Thee Stallion is seen in lingerie singing her rhymes from the comfort of her bedroom. Then she picks up Key Glock, who raps his verse despite heavy rains during a funeral she attends.
A recent appearance from Megan Thee Stallion revealed some of the more emotional aspects of Traumazine:
My feeling is that it is the softer side. You know, a side of things most people never see. It seems like we are so tough all of the time as female artists and especially as Black women. My feeling is that we’re always working hard in our music. In a world where we’re taught not to be too vulnerable and open, and not to involve too many people in our business. However, I feel that sometimes the world needs a little more of that.”
As part of the 27-song Gangsta Art compilation, Yo Gotti and the Collective Music Group roster teamed up last month. In addition to the visuals posted yesterday (Sept. 5), there is also another track from the project called “Strong,” produced by EST Gee and Moneybagg Yo. With production from FOREVEROLLING, Flex on the Beat, and Mikka, “Strong” features the two CMG frontrunners sharing their views on their respective lifestyles, remaining ten toes down on the streets, and more:
The accompanying video for “Strong” was created by Diesel Films and focuses primarily on a concert organized by the CMG camp. In addition to Moneybagg Yo and GloRilla, EST Gee, BIG30, Lil Durk, Blac Youngsta, and Yo Gotti are all featured throughout.
Yo Gotti and CMG announced about a year ago that they had formed a partnership with Interscope Geffen A&M, a major label that has launched the careers of many of your favorite hip-hop stars. He said in an official statement that he plans to move forward with the partnership in the following ways.
It was announced in May that Ty Dolla $ign has launched EZMNY Records, as well as that Leon Thomas is the first artist he has signed to the label. In Thomas’ latest music video, released today (Sept. 2), the duo teams up for the song, “Love Jones.” “Love Jones” is the second single off Thomas’ highly anticipated debut album, Electric Dusk, which will be released later this year. In this song, Thomas pays homage to a classic California love story:
Described by Thomas as an amalgamation of everything he loves about living in California, the video is a celebration of everything he loves about the state. This concept was made even more authentic and real with the help of a legend from L.A. like Ty Dolla $ign.”
Thomas is the second artist to have released a single under this label after his first single, “X-Rated” with Benny The Butcher. The past few years have seen him produce and write albums for several Grammy-nominated artists, including J. Cole, Post Malone, Ariana Grande,Giveon, Snoh Aalegra,Rick Ross, Kehlani, Ella Mai, and more. A recent example of Thomas’ creativity can be found in Drake’s global chart-topping album Certified Lover Boy, where he wrote and produced tracks like “Pipe Down,” “Love All” by JAY-Z, and “In the Bible” alongside Lil Durk and Giveon.
In the music industry, DJ Khaled is considered to be one of the greatest ever and at this point, this cannot be denied. Listen…The Album, the debut album by the Miami-bred music mogul, appeared in 2006, and the Miami-bred artist has been producing hits almost every year since then. It has been his one and only role to curate some of the hottest collaborations we’ve ever seen, many of which have given us timeless music. You would have been outside when records such as “I’m So Hood,” “Brown Paper Bag,” etc. Once Khaled’s name and catalog have been a part of heavy rotation, you will have first hand experience of the weight that it holds. It is with great pleasure that DJ Khaled announces the release of his 13th studio album, God Did.
In social media comments, many have pointed out that Khaled assembled the Avengers for this effort. This should come as no surprise since he’s known for assembling the top talent. A recent interview with Billboard revealed that Jay-Z chose the album cover and labelled God Did Khaled’s best work. Since I am one of the biggest JAY-Z fans around, I actually let him choose the cover for my album. Khaled says he usually sees which cover he’ll pick when I give him an option, and it’s happened again this time,” he explained. “As soon as I finished playing the album, he came up to me and said, ‘Yo, this is your best album.’ JAY-Z, I love you, and you know that.”
As one of this year’s most important releases, this album will not be missed. It has also contributed to further cementing DJ Khaled’s legacy.
