The rapper 070 Shake has released her debut album, You Can’t Kill Me via Def Jam Recordings/G.O.O.D. Music. Mike Dean mixed and mastered the project under the production of 070 Shake and Dave Hamelin. A number of previews were made available for fans ahead of the album’s release, including tracks like “Lose My Cool,” “Body,” “Skin and Bones,” and “Web” with NLE Choppa.
As part of the album launching, There Is No Killing Me comes with a video directed by Alexander Wesseley for the track “Medicine” The video shows a submerged Shake singing through an oxygen mask as she submerges herself in water:
We are too attached to this physical world, which makes us more vulnerable to injury. Regardless of how hard you try, you can’t kill me because I am more than just my body,” 070 Shake declares in a press release regarding the project. The more I learn about you with every album, the more I discover about me. I am dedicated to being free within the realm of music, as You Can’t Kill Me demonstrates. “Music is a way to express feelings.”
Currently, 070 Shake is performing as part of her headline North American tour, which began in Detroit last month. This 20-date tour began on May 7 in Detroit and continues with stops in Chicago, Houston, Toronto,New York City, and Phoenix before concluding with four shows in Los Angeles for the remainder of the month.
It has been more than two years since Post Malone became a music sensation with the release of his first single “White Iverson” (which has been certified platinum by the RIAA eight times as of April 22, 2021). In 1996, Stoney’s debut album (which achieved 5x platinum with the RIAA) marked the beginning of his musical development and he hasn’t looked back since. Post Malone has carved his own path through the years and has become a household name; he will only become bigger and better moving forward. While Posty hasn’t been heard from since his album Hollywood’s Bleeding was released back in 2019, he returns this month (June 3) with his fourth studio album Twelve Carat Toothache, which he says is his most honest work so far.
Post Malone recently opened up about staying away from social media, dealing with writer’s block and more while sitting down with Zane Lowe. “Have I made any changes in my perspective or have I made any changes in my mental state to distance myself from that has benefited my life in a positive way?” This was my statement. The thing that matters is that you’re comfortable with what you’re doing because you’ve got to be comfortable with what you’re doing if you want to succeed. In addition, he doesn’t feel very confident with social media,” he said about staying away from it as much as possible.
Post Malone describes the record’s placement as follows: “I haven’t been in my bag for a long time, and I am trying to acquire it again.” Roddy Ricch appears on the album’s lead feature. “We knew exactly what we wanted to say, and we knew exactly how we wanted to express our thoughts, both in that song as well as in that particular moment of the album,” stated Posty.
A deluxe version of Babyface Ray’s album FACE was released last month. It added eight new tracks to the project, in addition to collaborations with DJ Esco, Lil Yachty, Lucki, and more. As part of an upgraded release this week, the Detroit talent revealed a music video for “Spending Spree,” a Hendrix Smoke, DY Krazy, BMarch808Mafia, and Kayn-produced track that has Veeze joining the group and seeing both of them focused on money before anything else:
The accompanying clip for “Spending Spree” was created by Image Control Studios, and features Babyface and Veeze testing out some jewelry and money in a garage while a whip is playing in the background. Their crews can also be seen in an undisclosed location with their respective vehicles.
Face made its initial appearance in January with 20 cuts and the help of Icewear Yung Lean, 42 Dugg, G Herbo, Pusha T, Landstrip Chip, Vezzo, and Wiz Khalifa. After a year and a half after his well-received seven-track EP Unfuckwitable, Babyface Ray has released his sophomore project featuring guest appearances from Moneybagg Yo, EST Gee, and Kash Doll. In the same way as FACE, Unfuckwitable was later reissued with a deluxe edition packed with two additional tracks.
On May 27, Nafe Smallz will release his latest album, Legacy. The record consists of 16 songs with featured artists including Lil Tjay, Unknown T, Young T & Bugsey, and D-Block Europe. During the lead up to the release, fans received a preview of the video for “Off The Rip,” a MoneyEvery and Cage Beats production, which features Luton’s emcee delivering some of his most boastful bars yet:
Presented by Young Kye and Capone, “Off The Rip” provides the most fitting complement to the track’s vibe, featuring images of Nafe Smallz living the high life. You can watch him ride around in a high-end whip, enjoy the company of stylish women, hang out with his crew, and record his music in the studio.
Legacy follows Nafe Smallz’s 2020 album DNA, which he released with M Huncho. There were thirteen infectious tracks in that project featuring Young Adz and Yxng Bane. The British duo scored high with DNA, which finished at number six on the UK Albums chart, as well as number two on the R&B Albums chart. Meanwhile, Nafe released the solo album Goat World in 2010, which featured contributions from Nines, Huncho, Chip, Young Adz, Wretch 32, Miraa May, and more.
Nafe responded to critics who believe he’s just mimicking typical American hip hop sounds in a past interview with High Snobiety:
“This is the kind of style I’m aiming for.” To me, it seems universally understood rather than just in our culture. But the culture is still intact, don’t get it twisted. My upbringing was filled with a variety of music. I did not only listen to American music, but also old music.”
Just last week, he released his newest collection, Played To The Left: A Love Story Continued. The album is the sequel to Play Your Cards Right: A Westside Love Story released in 2019. In the new release, Griff tells the story of what happens when roles are reversed or when a player takes on the role of the opponent. His intimate details are evident in his cover art, where he is pictured with the same automobile pictured in his 2020 release, but this time alone, only holding a guitar.
He continues to build momentum with the release of his official music video for “High Notes,” a highlight from the new album. It seems that Griff is spending the day with his love interest in the recently released clip, but things are not as they seem:
Griff Tyler surprised us back in April of 2021 with the release of While I Have Your Attention EP. In addition to this, he made sure to provide us with some new visuals to further attract our attention. After spending time in the boxing ring with his fans in “Show Off,” he welcomed us into his Forehead Kisses Resort & Spa in an exclusive “Forehead Kisses” video. Over the years, he has released loose cuts such as “No Resolution,” “Runnin Game,” and “Shoot,” in the meantime.
The visual offering from Griff Tyler is another stellar visual from his 2020 Play Your Cards Right project, which features his track “Wassup” with G Perico, widely considered to be one of his fan favorites from the project. Nine songs are featured in this collection, including “Guarded” and “Wild West,” and as well as contributions from Emimeezy. In addition to other visuals from the same project, he has also released the official video for “Cold Piece.”
