A new studio LP from Wiz Khalifa, titled Multiverse, was released in July and featured 17 songs with contributions from Girl Talk and THEY. It was yesterday (Sept. 11) that the Pittsburgh rapper dropped the new visual from his upcoming project, “High Maintenance,” which sees him crooning about his own highs and lows as a celebrity and wealthmaker:
The video accompanying “High Maintenance” reminds viewers of Khalifa’s iconic “DayToday” series, providing a glimpse into Khalifa’s busy life behind the scenes. In less than three minutes, you can watch Khalifa at the gym, performing with his son Sebastian before an audience of friends, and indulging in his usual vices.
In the months leading up to the release of Multiverse, Wiz Khalifa collaborated with Big K.R.I.T., Girl Talk, and Smoke DZA on the successful album Full Court Press. The album features 10 songs, including one with Curren$y. Aside from Stoner’s Night, as well as a notable collaboration with Elle Varner and BIG30 in 2022, the Taylor Gang head honcho teamed up with Juicy J for Stoner’s Night as well. Khalifa is known for releasing musical projects frequently, so it is not surprising that he will release another project or two before the end of the year.
YG is currently working on the final touches to his upcoming album, Pray For Me. Fans have had the chance to listen to strong previews such as Moneybagg Yo, “Run” with BIA, Tyga, and 21 Savage, and “Sign Language” and “Scared Money” with J. Cole. On this occasion (Aug. 12), he released “Toxic,” the latest track taken from the project. As YG raps about relationships, he talks about the ups and downs:
Mozzy and YG previously collaborated for their Kommunity Service project back in May with singles like “Perfect Timing” with Blxst and “Bompton To Oak Park.” YG and Mozzy released a steady stream of videos for the project including “Vibe With You” featuring Ty Dolla $ign and “Mad” by Young M.A.
In addition to recently appearing on “Power Mornings” on Power 106 Los Angeles, the California rapper discussed the subject matter of his upcoming album, Pray For Me. Currently, no date has been confirmed for the release. According to YG, it is simply the development of his personal headspace, the stage he is in in life, and what he is going through. The whole COVID pandemic thing was terrible, but I also see it as having helped me get to where I am mentally today. Throughout our lives, we grow as humans, as people. Everything I do will contribute to my personal growth. My life is just going to be a musical expression of my truth at the moment.”
Larry June, the rapper and entrepreneur, has released a new track called “Private Valet” via Empire over the weekend. June and his orange Lamborghini are pictured in the accompanying music video. Directed by LX, the video follows June as he explores the cityscapes before settling into his car. A Jake One-produced beat is the backdrop for June’s smooth rap about enjoying life’s finer things.
As part of his “Orange Print Pollstar Tour,” June recently completed the final leg of the tour which sold out across North America. Since releasing his Orange Print project in July, June has been releasing smooth visuals for his fans to groove to ever since. The first cut was “Still Cookin,” followed by “6am In Sausalito” and “Intercepted” with Money Man. As a result of the Orange Print’s success, it cracked the Billboard Top 200 for the first time in its career and has surpassed well over 25 million streams.
The Late Night was Larry June and Cardo’s joint project, which they presented after collaborating in September. A total of seven new tracks are included in the album, all of which remain featureless to make the musical chemistry between the two duos stand out.
Reason returned to the scene earlier this month with the new single “Is What It Is,” which was produced by Hollywood Cole and features an assist from Jay Rock. In the following days, the TDE rapper released “Barely Miss.” Sharing the same cover artwork as his previous release, “Barely Miss” may signal the beginning of his forthcoming album’s rollout. The new track from REASON features a smooth beat produced by Mike Hector:
After the release of the track, REASON discussed his musical chemistry with Mike Hector and hinted that there’s much more in the vault for him. “My brotha produced this,” the rapper types. “Me and Mike did at least ten joints. Earlier this week, I released my new single “Barely Miss”! The producer is one of my favorites right now! Thanks, brotha!”
The debut studio album by Reason, New Beginnings, was released back in 2020. There are also appearances by Alemeda, JID, ScHoolboy Q, Rapsody, Vince Staples, Ab-Soul, Mereba, and Isaiah Rashad on 14 different tracks. Throughout the past few months, the Carson-bred artist has shown his talent by assisting on songs such as Cozz “Hair Salon” and Deante’ Hitchcock “Weighing Me Down.” Moreover, the Carson-bred artist released his EP No Less: Demo 1 in October and No More.
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.
