A week ago, Buddy dropped his second studio album, Superghetto, which featured 10-tracks and guest appearances by Blxst, T-Pain, Tinashe, and Ari Lennox. A visual for “Hoochie Mama” was released along with the album, a Roofeeo-produced track in which Buddy balances his quest for some female accompaniment with his vivid account of life in Compton:
This video for “Hoochie Mama” is presented by madebyJAMES, and begins with a shot of Buddy playing outside. Additionally, he participates in some boxing at the gym full of attractive ladies, gets into some flirting with an attractive woman in his neighborhood, and much more.
In its official debut, Superghetto is Buddy’s first album after Harlan & Alondra, which appeared in 2018 and incorporated collaborations with Ty Dolla $ign, Guapdad 4000, Snoop Dogg, A$AP Ferg, and Khalid. Harlan & Alondra then received a deluxe upgrade in the form of four additional cuts and assists from artists such as BJ The Chicago Kid, 03 Greedo, Ari Lennox, JID, and more. Keeping that momentum going, he teamed up with OverDoz in 2020. Kent Jamz produced Janktape Vol. 1. together with the two. Furthermore, he has contributed vocals for artists such as Smino, Robert Glasper, Smoke DZA, and Zacari.
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.
With “Ungrateful,” Kunography provides the accompanying clip, which exhibits Central Cee on his own at what appears to be his luxurious residence. Besides getting a fresh haircut, you might also catch him on a rooftop playing some ball.
Compared to Wild West last year, 23 has 14 songs and none of them feature. With 15,000 albums equivalent units sold in its first week from the time it was released, the project reached the number two spot on the chart, making Central Cee the frontrunner of the UK drill movement.
The groundbreaking debut mixtape from Jeremih has been released to all digital platforms for fans. The recording artist introduced Late Nights With Jeremih in 2012, and he thought celebrating the 10th anniversary of the program would be the perfect way to commemorate it. Jeremih’s original album still sounds like a brand new release, and the seductive opening lyrics from “Rosa Acosta” recall the early days when the rapper was just starting out.
With a star-studded roster of celebrities, Late Nights With Jeremih would still be able to claim bragging rights today. Besides the platinum-certified song “All the Time” with Natasha Mosley and Lil Wayne, the mixtape also features fellow YG, and Fabolous, and Def Jam stars 2 Chainz, as well as AK, Gucci Mane, E-40, Marcus Fench, Sir Michael Rocks, Twista, and Willie Taylor.
This has been an exciting and progressive year for Jeremih as he is working to make a full recovery from his illness while also taking advantage of some exciting opportunities in the interim. Another career achievement was making his first appearance on-screen in “Power Book IV: Force.”
“Playing Elijah for ‘Power: Force’ was nothing short of awesome,” he writes with thankfulness. I met a lot of incredible folks who do this stuff for real for the first time on screen. I’m always grateful to 50 Cent, as well as Joseph Sikora, who helped me feel confident about myself. I remember getting out of the hospital around this time last year. The hardest part was learning how to walk again.”
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.
