Lil Gnar has been confirmed by Chief Keef as his first official signing since the launch of his brand-new record label 43B in June. A new collaboration between Gnar and Chief Keef was released yesterday (Sept. 6) in the form of a video and song, “Almighty Gnar.” In the video, the young rappers share vignettes depicting them working behind the scenes with Keef, while his hard-hitting opening verse plays:
It was earlier this year that Lil Gnar released DIE BOUT IT, an 18-track album that included features from Lil Skies, Ski Mask the Slump God, Lil Keed, Lil Uzi Vert, Trippie Redd, and plenty others. The previous album, Fire Hazard, had 12 tracks with special guest appearances from UnoTheActivist, Tyla Yaweh, Thouxanbanfauni, Craig Xen, Lil Yachty, Robb Bank$, YBN Nahmir, and more.
The song was produced by Harry Fraud and Jay Worthy and released last month under the title You Take The Credit, We’ll Take The Check. A number of collaborators are involved in this project, including Larry June, A$AP Twelvyy, Conway the Machine, Kamaiyah, MadeinTYO, Curren$y, among others, across 14 tracks. During the time since its release, fans have enjoyed accompanying visuals for tracks such as “Winnipeg Winters,” “Tonight,” and “Helicopter Homicide.”
Their latest video from the project was released yesterday (Sept. 6). It’s called “Six Figure Strolls.” The video features Worthy and Sha Hef strolling in New York City in the middle of the night while Worthy delivers his smooth opening hook:
The collaboration with Fraud and Worthy for You Take The Credit, We’ll Take The Check as mentioned earlier, it is not the first time the two have partnered together, as they previously teamed up in 2020 Eat When You’re Hungry, Sleep When You’re Tired. A small number of joint projects have been dropped off by Worthy since then. In addition to these, they include Two4Two, Budgie, and 2 P’z in a Pod alongside Larry June and Till The Morning featuring Shlohmo, The Ballad of a Dopehead featuring T.F.
The Louisville native released his third studio album over the past few years, A N I V E R S A R Y, a collection that included 10 songs and a standout feature from Drake on “Outta Time.” The album reached the top five of the Billboard 200 in its first week, selling 57,000 album-equivalent units sold. An updated edition of Tiller’s album A N N I V E R S A R Y was released a few months after its initial release, including a Big Sean-assisted track called “Still Yours.”
It has been over a year since A Novel Symphony made landfall, and Tiller has released a holiday EP titled A Different Christmas featuring Kiana Ledé, Justin Bieber, Tayla Parx, Poo Bear, and his daughter Halo. Furthermore, Tiller has contributed to recent releases such as Chris Brown “Need You Right Here” and Diddy “Gotta Move On.” Tiller released his new single today (Sept. 8) called “Outside,” a Neil Dominique, Vinylz, Jack Uriah, and Wow Jones-produced track that sees him longing for a woman who is trapped in an abusive relationship.
A new studio LP from Megan Thee Stallion released last month titled Traumazine. This album includes additional contributions from Latto, Sauce Walka, Dua Lipa, Future, Jhené Aiko, Lucky Daye, Rico Nasty, and more. Houston emcee Houston delivers a new visual from his album for “Ungrateful” a collaboration with Key Glock which is dedicated to anyone who is unappreciative of his love and loyalty:
In the accompanying video clip for “Ungrateful,” Megan Thee Stallion is seen in lingerie singing her rhymes from the comfort of her bedroom. Then she picks up Key Glock, who raps his verse despite heavy rains during a funeral she attends.
A recent appearance from Megan Thee Stallion revealed some of the more emotional aspects of Traumazine:
My feeling is that it is the softer side. You know, a side of things most people never see. It seems like we are so tough all of the time as female artists and especially as Black women. My feeling is that we’re always working hard in our music. In a world where we’re taught not to be too vulnerable and open, and not to involve too many people in our business. However, I feel that sometimes the world needs a little more of that.”
As part of his holiday weekend promotion (Sept. 3), Kodak Black released a new song entitled “For No Reason.” The beat-driven tune features boastful raps regarding the Florida native’s freewheeling lifestyle:
A couple months back, Kodak Black released his long-awaited fourth studio album Back For Everything, which included 19 tracks and a guest appearance from Lil Durk. As 60,000 album-equivalent units were sold during the album’s first week of release, it came in at number two on the Billboard 200. Back For Everything also received a gold certification.
Thousands of cases of water were sent to Haiti by Kodak Black last month. Bradford Cohen, his attorney, further explained the decision through Instagram:
Several months have passed since Kodak Black began working on this project. Providing assistance to governmental agencies and dinations as well as speaking with teams on the ground. In an attempt to stop the violence in Haiti and lift the people out of poverty. During the past year, Haiti has been slowly rebuilding without any fanfare. Although others may speak about it, he is doing it. I am so impressed with the importance and vibrancy of the Haitian community in South Florida. The only way to change things is by coming together as a community and acting as one.
