Hitmaka and Eric Bellinger collaborated on the 1-800-Hit-Eazy project in February, a 14-track collection featuring Rahky and Chrishan. Several tracks on the album have been accompanied by accompanying visuals, including “Hypebeast,” “Star Projectors,” “Only You,” and “Serious.”
In the past few days, Hitmaka and Eric Bellinger has been responding to fan requests by providing an official remix to “Obsession,” which was debuted as the first preview of the upcoming sequel to 1-800-Hit-Eazy last month. Added to the upgraded version of the track is a new verse from Muni Long, who enhances the track with a sensual edge.
Earlier this year, Long released her own project titled Public Displays of Affection Too, which was a short EP for her that featured her previous singles, such as “Another,” “Pain,” and “Baby Boo” in collaboration with Saweetie. It has been an enjoyable year and a change for her following the success of her EP from 2021, Public Displays of Affection, which contains her viral hit, “Hrs and Hrs.” In addition to that, the R&B chart topper was also nominated for Best New Artist at this year’s BET Awards, and was gracious enough to accept the award. There was also a stage providing a venue for her to perform the above-mentioned “Time Machine” as well as her viral hit, “Hrs andHrs.”
Key Glock life was changed forever on November 17, 2021. Young Dolph, his mentor as well as his cousin, who was shot and killed that very day at Makeda’s Cookies in his hometown of Memphis, has left Key Glock with a permanent hole in his heart, which is still present today to this day. He slowly restarted his music career after a period of four months while dealing with the burden of continuing the legacy of Paper Route Empire. In addition, he learned how to carry the burden of carrying the legacy forward. He has been through a lot over the past few years, but despite that, the 25-year-old has managed to produce quality music on a consistent basis and has no plans of slowing down anytime soon. It is with great pleasure that Key Glock releases his latest EP, Paper Route Empire 5 Life, today (November 18).
Last week, the news of the EP release was brought to the attention of fans, who were delighted. Since yesterday was the one-year anniversary of Dolph’s transition into the Paper Route Empire, this was the most appropriate time to receive some brand-new material from Glizock, particularly as we marked the one-year anniversary of Dolph’s transition yesterday.
Billboard interviewed the “Yellow Tape” rapper about how he was motivated by Young Dolph when it came to making his album. Honestly, I don’t wanna lie, but Young Dolph was my motivator to achieve my dreams,” Glock said. It was my mental hype man who made that happen for me. I was blind to the things that he saw and he put it into me, which I could not see. My mind is just a mess right now because of those thoughts that are plaguing me. It is over for the thrill and the passion that used to be associated with such things. During the course of my life he observed me, as I reached this point in my life and he is no longer with me.
With five records under his belt, Glock re-entered the production process with Tay Keith and Bandplay, whom he has worked with on several occasions. Key Glock has still got a lot of work to do before he calls it a day, as he has a ton of pressure still to apply before he calls it a day with PRE5L. It’s one of the most underrated releases of the year and deserves all of the shine it deserves.
Last week, Trippie Redd came back to the scene with the release of his latest track, “Ain’t Safe“, which was produced by Don Toliver. It has been a while since the duo last shared a music video, however today (Nov. 3) they have decided to share the video, which was directed and edited by Nolan Riddle. Redd and his new gang take a trip into an out-of-this-world landscape filled with a variety of otherworldly creatures and plants as the rapper spits a few bars about maintaining vigilance at all times:
This year, the rapper from the “Miss The Rage” song has been delivering a number of show-stopping live sets all over the world. He has recently performed at events such as Rolling Loud Toronto, Rolling Loud Miami, and Summer Sky Vol. 1, in addition to the fact that they also supported Machine Gun Kelly “Mainstream Sellout Tour.”
As we all know, Redd has been keeping his fans in the know by releasing his First Draft EP, a two-track bundle that consists of “Save Me, Please” and “1st Degree Murder.” Prior to the release of this EP, Redd had released his fourth studio album, Trip At Knight, which included 18 tracks and features from artists such as SoFaygo, Lil Uzi Vert, Drake, Playboi Carti, Ski Mask The Slump God, XXXTENTACION, Juice WRLD, Polo G, Sada Baby, Icewear Vezzo, Lil Durk, and Babyface Ray. In its first week of release, the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, with 81,000 album-equivalent units sold, contributing to its top spot on the chart.
The Memphis Massacre III LP, Duke Deuce’s third album in his fan-favorite Memphis Massacre series, was released last week. The mixtape features a Memphis-only roster of artists, including Big Moochie Grape, Lil Thad, ATM Rich Baby, Glockianna, Dubba C, and Gloss Up, another QC labelmate. The release was accompanied by the video for “Mr. Memphis Massacre,” the first single from the project.
A few hours ago (Nov. 1), the Tennessee native took to social media to release the official music video for the track featured on the mixtape, “Buck The System.” This hilarious visual begins with a scene where the Tennessee native enters a local radio station and asks a DJ to play his new song on the air. Even though the rapper refuses to do so, the “Crunk Ain’t Dead” rapper takes over the studio and blasts out his song regardless of what the artist says. As soon as his hard-hitting lyrics start to fill the room, the only sounds of the entire building are his hard-hitting lyrics:
In June, Deuce released his third album, Memphis Massacre III, following CRUNKSTAR, his debut album. There were a variety of talented names who helped him out with the aforementioned body of work. These names included Slimeroni, Gloss Up, Rico Nasty, Co Cash, GloRilla, JP The Rockstar, Doe Boy, Babyface Ray, Lil Yachty, Juicy J, DJ Tootz, and Dante Smith.
Within the past few weeks, TikTok has been dominated by viral trends where users recount their crazy years over a sped-up version of “Spread Thin” by Mariah The Scientist. Although the song was released back in March, the Atlanta-born singer appreciated the recent attention paid to the song enough to release its official music video yesterday (October 25). As her lyrics are played over various vlog clips of her year thus far, she has created a visual ode to the TikTok trend.
Mariah released the song along with an acknowledgement to those who had already been singing along for several weeks before it became viral. “I would like to thank my fans that were riding this stuff before TikTok!” “I created the video to reflect what your year was like based on your responses to our song,” she wrote on Twitter.
RY RY WORLD was Mariah’s last album before she passed away in 2021. Young Thug and Lil Baby both contributed to that body of work through their appearances on ten different tracks. According to the press release, the “Spread Thin” singer is currently on tour with Rod Wave in support of his “Beautiful Mind Tour.” Her most recent collaboration was with Dess Dior on her song “Stone Cold.”
