There is no doubt that Lil Uzi Vert is on a roll these days. His latest single, “Just Wanna Rock,” has been an instant hit and has become an unmistakable one thanks to the blend of the Philadelphia rapper’s infectious raps with the Jersey club sound.
On November 18th, Uzi released the official video for the MCVertt and Synthetic-produced offering, which is directed by Gibson Hazard, as part of his YouTube channel. A bulletproof truck has been used to transport the Generation Now signee to Earth from what appears to be another planet in what appears to be an out-of-this-world clip. A minute later, viewers can see him breaking out some serious dance moves with YouTube star Kai Cenat and taking over the streets of New York. This is accompanied by some serious dance moves. The end of the film reveals that at some point, when police tried to break up the massive crowd, some of the fans were pepper sprayed as a result, as the police attempted to break up the crowd at some point.
A few months ago, Uzi launched his RED & WHITE EP, which served as a teaser for his upcoming album entitled The Pink Tape. This album will be out later in the fall. A year ago, he released his sophomore album, Eternal Atake, which on its own debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 due to the 288,000 album-equivalent units it sold, which helped establish him at the top of the chart. This same year, the rapper who brought us “XO Tour Llif3” was able to continue his momentum with the releases of Pluto x Baby Pluto and Lil Uzi Vert vs. the World 2, which was a collaborative effort with Future.
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.
Young Dolph is currently being honored throughout the country by helping those in need in their communities today (Nov. 17). In addition to the commemorations of the Memphis rapper’s short life, it was also announced recently that his estate will be releasing a new album entitled Paper Route Frank, expected to be released on Dec. 9. Gucci Mane, Key Glock, and Peewee Longway are confirmed to appear on the album.
As the aforementioned sample and title suggest, fans will be able to listen to a single titled “Get Away” before the posthumous body of work is released. The single, produced by Ghostrage and Sosa 808 and being sung by Sayd, takes the form of a verse about wanting to be free from the stress of the daily grind:
In anticipation of the release of the single “Get Away,” Key Glock released an EP in tribute to his cousin, Paper Route Empire 5 Life, which can be translated as Paper Route Empire 5 Life. Taking it back to the roots, Yellow Tape star and Yellow Tape standout “Die Trying” makes it clear that he is committed to continuing the movement Dolph started.
Almost two years have passed since Rich The Kid released his last full-length LP, Boss Man, a 20-song body of work featuring Quavo, Lil Baby, Nicki Minaj, Future, Lil Tjay, Post Malone, and more. In addition to his collaborative projects with YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Lil Wayne, he was also involved with Trust Fund Babies and Nobody Safe. Additionally, he supplied the Lucky 7 EP as well as some loose cuts and featured appearances, including “Boss Bitch” with Coi Leray, “That’s All” with YoungBoy, “Bussdown” with Headie One, “Rocket Launcher,” “Prada” with Skillibeng, and “Crypto” with Takeoff.
RCA Records recently announced Rich The Kid would be partnering with them for the release of his new single “Motion” yesterday (Nov. 14). Additionally, fans can also take a look at a matching visual on DrewFilmedIt, which shows him catching vibes while exhibiting different facets of his wealthy lifestyle in a matching visual that is brought to you by DrewFilmedIt.
In the months prior to the release of “Motion,” Rich The Kid suffered the loss of Migos Takeoff, with whom the “Plug Walk” rapper had worked with on numerous occasions throughout the course of his successful career. A series of heartfelt messages and images were shared on Instagram by the College Park-based star in tribute to the Migos alum, in which she illustrated the following:
There was no one more important to me today than my brother. As for the rest of my life, everything I have, my twin, my best friend, I simply can’t believe it, I just can’t. I really admire the humility of this man. He used to share shoes and clothes with me before he made it, and we never had a problem sharing them! I miss you already, you did not deserve that kind of treatment! I miss you every single day!! I can’t stop crying. I’m so in love with you, bro, I’ll never be able to let go of you…
Throughout the comments section of that Instagram post, there were many comments from other Rich Forever heads who shared his raw emotions, showing just how crucial Takeoff was to the culture as a whole, as well as the Rich Forever head honcho.
Throughout the past few weeks, Tobe Nwigwe has been providing fans with visual accompaniments to each track from his moMINTs album. As a result, he has switched gears to perform his “at the crib” versions, which are intimate renditions of each track recorded directly from his mother’s bedroom. As of yesterday (Nov. 14), the Texas-born rapper shared a new clip titled “Lord Forgive Me.” During the clip, Nwigwe is accompanied by his talented band, Fat, and his innocent child on his lap, all of which enable him to deliver his honest lyrics:
It has been reported that Nwigwe has already released another project titled Cincoriginals, a 14 song compilation which has been recognized for featuring Big K.R.I.T., Killa Kyleon, Bun B, Trae Tha Truth, Cyhi The Prynce, Black Thought, Royce da 5’9”, D Smoke, and Fat. Throughout the years since then, he has also released a series of loose tracks, including “Wake Up Everybody,” “A Million,” and “A Revealing Freestyle.”
In addition, he recently posted a wholesome highlight on Instagram last week which showed a moment when his son achieved a milestone in front of a large crowd. “I had the pleasure of watching my son’s first steps on stage and my first sold out show in London at the Koko in 2007.
