Earlier this year, Gramzunkut released The Bank Roll, a single that was well received by hip hop legend Kid Capri, among many others. His official music video was released some time after, showing him popping bottles with beautiful women while on a yacht. This kind of imagery fits perfectly with Gramzunkut’s boisterous bars about women, money, and all the, well, things that money has to offer:
Gramzunkut has followed up his catchy single “Still Dippin Doenutz” just last month with another catchy track named “Still Dippin Doenutz,” which serves as an advertisement of sorts for his business of the same name. Besides bringing viewers to a cannabis-friendly event in support of the song, an accompanying clip depicts a new music video for “Smoke Champs,” a collaboration between N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN’s highly successful series “Drink Champs.”
Gramzunkut spoke about his entrepreneurial spirit, how it feels to see success in the fashion and music industries, and how it feels to be able to accomplish dreams:
The fact that my music, my clothing line, and my clothing brand will be on display where the ball drops is fascinating. The feeling of introducing your brand to people from all walks of life is indescribable.”
Check out Grakut’s videos for “Wanna Ride on My Wave (Bank Roll)”. A collaboration with General Steele of Smif-n-Wessun and PMD of EPMD is in the works, according to the artist.
Papoose produced new songs each month in 2021, containing dope cuts featuring E-40, Rick Ross, Remy Ma, Jim Jones, Wiz Khalifa, Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, 2 Chainz, Anthony Hamilton, as well as many others. Stan Da Man’s production of “Heat 7,” a collaborative venture between the legendary Method Man and the New York king, proves, without a doubt, that these two continue to deliver some of their most accomplished bars to date:
A video for “Heat 7” featuring WillC and Tana shows Pap and Meth mainly delivering their bars in dark rooms, as different graphics appear behind them, matching the subject matter of the song. During the performance, the songstors can also be seen in a room filled with yellow tape, which is an appropriate setting for the lyrical assault that unfolded.
Meanwhile, Method Man was recently honored for the soundtrack to his smash hit “You’re All I Need” along with his performance on “Power Book II: Ghost.” Meth talked about the experience of collaborating with (and winning alongside) Mary J. Blige:
The feeling of working on something for so long and reaping the rewards is something I have never experienced in my life before. ’95 was the year I won the Grammy for music with Mary J. Blige. Then I got an NAACP award for acting with Mary J. Blige. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.”
In addition to releasing his new album, MULTI, via Create Music Group today (Mar. 11), multiplatinum artist DJ Chose also released a new EP. 16 new tracks are included on the new EP, which was self-produced. MULTI features top artists such as Megan Thee Stallion, Gucci Mane, Fredo Bang, Yung Bleu, and many more. Within a few days of the album’s release, DJ Chose posted two new music videos, “Too Late,” a song emphasizing confidence in the face of heartbreak and “Prove Me Wrong.”
To prepare fans for the full release, Chose shared the Gucci-assisted “You A Dime” ahead of time. Taking the Chose-produced beat, Gucci raps some lines about Ms. Perfect while riding a beat:
“The name ‘MULTI’ was chosen because I multitask often. Although people expect me to be a rapper, I have knowledge of music production, will market the beats myself, and will be a DJ whenever I want. I’m a multi-talented artist, and now I have a multi-platinum album,” DJ Chose says of the new release.
His remix of “THICK” with Megan Thee Stallion became a viral hit, establishing him as a name in Houston. “THICK” reached the top of the Hot 100 chart. Last year, DJ Chose released his album Took Me Forever. In addition to Fredo Bang, Chubb C,and City 3000, assistance was provided by 17 tracks. “BADDIE” was also released and “Naughty Or Nice” was released in honor of Christmas.
