NIGO released his latest album, I Know NIGO, last week, consisting of 11 tracks with contributions from Tyler, A$AP Rocky, The Creator, Kid Cudi, Pharrell Williams, the late Lil Uzi Vert, Pop Smoke, and more. There is a second appearance by Pusha T on the standout track “Punch Bowl” where he shares the spotlight with his brother No Malice as Clipse and “Hear Me Clearly,” the track of which later became an official single, featured Virginia emcee delivering his best coke raps over productions by Luca Starz, ThaMyind, Kanye West, and BoogzDaBeast:
On the small screen, viewers can watch Pusha T bring his bars to life courtesy of AWGE (who I Know NIGO has contracted to handle the visual work). Pusha raps and stacks bricks before another woman in the clip, rides the subway with his carriers, and participates (or demonstrates) an apparent robbery-in-progress, among other fascinating moments.
He added that both Pharrell and West will contribute production to his long-awaited album, which will see songs from both artists split into two sides: both will “mix” the songs, while West will just produce his own.
On his portion of the album, Pharrell devoted his attention to song composition, song structure, flow patterns and callouts. In terms of Kanye West’s approach, he focused more on the bars and the neck-breaking bop that came from the beat. My goal was to get the best results out of both of them, since they have different tastes in music.”
Earlier this week, its estate announced that posthumous emcee Phife Dawg’s long-awaited album, Forever, had been released. Today (Mar. 22) marks the sixth anniversary of his death, so it is perfect timing for the release of this project via AWAL.
Rapsody’s new album contains 13 tracks that are backed by a long list of collaborators, including Rapsody, Renée Neufville, Busta Rhymes, Redman, Q-Tip, Lyric Jones, Little Brother, POS, and plenty others. Production responsibilities were handled by people such as J Dilla, 9th Wonder, Angela Winbush, and more. Listeners were able to enjoy “Nutshell Pt. 2” before the album was released and Phife was able to showcase his rap talent alongside Busta Rhymes and Redman:
Associated Producer and collaborator Dion “Rasta Root” Liverpool voiced his excitement about the project’s upcoming release: “I’m thrilled to be a part of Phife’s legacy.” He must be reading the credits and working on the artwork in the background.”
Malik’s wife Deisha Taylor stated that the release of Phife Dawg’s album has left us overwhelmed with excitement. Having waited six years for this, our happiness is limitless.”
New York-born MC Joey Bada$$, who was nominated for four GRAMMY Awards, had spent time working on his debut album, collaborating with trusted artists, and curating a catalogue of songs that represented his music.

Listeners were offered the track “Beat The System” in 2020, as well as the single “Nutshell” in 2016.
The rapper Central Cee released his new album 23 earlier this month, which consists of 15 songs and the contributions of artists such as Ashe 22, Baby Gang, Freeze Corleone, A2anti, Morad, Beny Jr, and Rondodasosa’s genuine brother Juke Caesar provide guest appearances on “Lil Bro.” Cee managed to become a number one artist on the UK Albums chart for the first time, beating out the name of the last single from Tears For Fears, The Tipping Point.
This week, Cench decided to release a new music video for “Ungrateful,” the Levi Lennox-produced track that finds the West London singer discussing his mental health as well as misdemeanors from his past.

50 Cent grew giddy when he learned about the praise he received from Snoop Dogg, his friend and collaborator.
A video of Snoop Dogg’s appearance on Wallo and Gillie Da Kid’s popular radio program, “Million Dollaz Worth of Game,” was included in a post The New Yorker shared on Instagram on Tuesday (March 22). It is said in the clip that 50 will be a legend in rap for eternity. In his records, movies and other stuff, he changed the whole game of New York. He was able to make it run for a little while and put back the spirit of New York. He succeeded. That shit was on lock when he figured out what was going on.”
At the moment, I am a student, and I am learning from him. There is truth to the statement that an old dog can learn new tricks if he is willing to listen.
“Power” star Snoop’s remarks on 50 and his legendary status touched him and he thought the message was more important than recognition at an awards ceremony. The rapper said in the video, “@snoopdogg, that shit you just said means way more than a trophy to me.”
The two musicians began working together in 2003 when they were both on 50 Cent’s P.I.M.P. single. Since then, they’ve been collaborating on a variety of projects. The pair has performed together at the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show, with 50 portraying a pastor in his “BMF” series. Now, they plan to script a show based on Snoop Dogg’s murder case from 1993.
Previously, Dogstyle rapper told Deadline that she was thrilled to share the story behind Murder Was The Case. “This was a defining moment in my career and life, and I intentionally waited for the best parter to bring this vision to life. You will soon see how street knowledge makes a difference.”
I found “Murder Was the Case” to be an incredible story. Despite releasing the country’s biggest album, the music mogul was fighting for his freedom in court” 50 cent added. A trip like this can only be had by partnering with G-Unit Film & Television. It’ll be great to work with Snoop on the project.”
