The rapper 070 Shake has released her debut album, You Can’t Kill Me via Def Jam Recordings/G.O.O.D. Music. Mike Dean mixed and mastered the project under the production of 070 Shake and Dave Hamelin. A number of previews were made available for fans ahead of the album’s release, including tracks like “Lose My Cool,” “Body,” “Skin and Bones,” and “Web” with NLE Choppa.
As part of the album launching, There Is No Killing Me comes with a video directed by Alexander Wesseley for the track “Medicine” The video shows a submerged Shake singing through an oxygen mask as she submerges herself in water:
We are too attached to this physical world, which makes us more vulnerable to injury. Regardless of how hard you try, you can’t kill me because I am more than just my body,” 070 Shake declares in a press release regarding the project. The more I learn about you with every album, the more I discover about me. I am dedicated to being free within the realm of music, as You Can’t Kill Me demonstrates. “Music is a way to express feelings.”
Currently, 070 Shake is performing as part of her headline North American tour, which began in Detroit last month. This 20-date tour began on May 7 in Detroit and continues with stops in Chicago, Houston, Toronto,New York City, and Phoenix before concluding with four shows in Los Angeles for the remainder of the month.
A deluxe version of Babyface Ray’s album FACE was released last month. It added eight new tracks to the project, in addition to collaborations with DJ Esco, Lil Yachty, Lucki, and more. As part of an upgraded release this week, the Detroit talent revealed a music video for “Spending Spree,” a Hendrix Smoke, DY Krazy, BMarch808Mafia, and Kayn-produced track that has Veeze joining the group and seeing both of them focused on money before anything else:
The accompanying clip for “Spending Spree” was created by Image Control Studios, and features Babyface and Veeze testing out some jewelry and money in a garage while a whip is playing in the background. Their crews can also be seen in an undisclosed location with their respective vehicles.
Face made its initial appearance in January with 20 cuts and the help of Icewear Yung Lean, 42 Dugg, G Herbo, Pusha T, Landstrip Chip, Vezzo, and Wiz Khalifa. After a year and a half after his well-received seven-track EP Unfuckwitable, Babyface Ray has released his sophomore project featuring guest appearances from Moneybagg Yo, EST Gee, and Kash Doll. In the same way as FACE, Unfuckwitable was later reissued with a deluxe edition packed with two additional tracks.
Just last week, he released his newest collection, Played To The Left: A Love Story Continued. The album is the sequel to Play Your Cards Right: A Westside Love Story released in 2019. In the new release, Griff tells the story of what happens when roles are reversed or when a player takes on the role of the opponent. His intimate details are evident in his cover art, where he is pictured with the same automobile pictured in his 2020 release, but this time alone, only holding a guitar.
He continues to build momentum with the release of his official music video for “High Notes,” a highlight from the new album. It seems that Griff is spending the day with his love interest in the recently released clip, but things are not as they seem:
Griff Tyler surprised us back in April of 2021 with the release of While I Have Your Attention EP. In addition to this, he made sure to provide us with some new visuals to further attract our attention. After spending time in the boxing ring with his fans in “Show Off,” he welcomed us into his Forehead Kisses Resort & Spa in an exclusive “Forehead Kisses” video. Over the years, he has released loose cuts such as “No Resolution,” “Runnin Game,” and “Shoot,” in the meantime.
The visual offering from Griff Tyler is another stellar visual from his 2020 Play Your Cards Right project, which features his track “Wassup” with G Perico, widely considered to be one of his fan favorites from the project. Nine songs are featured in this collection, including “Guarded” and “Wild West,” and as well as contributions from Emimeezy. In addition to other visuals from the same project, he has also released the official video for “Cold Piece.”
Earlier today (May 19), Headie One collaborated with French rapper Gazo to release a new song called, “22 Carats.” The music video was directed by Screetch with the video produced by French producer Leo Eynard. Viewers are taken on a wild ride by the duo as they fuse their styles together through the dark city aesthetic:
The most recent Headie One production, Too Loyal for My Own Good, was released last October. The album contained 13 tracks and zero features. Before that, he released his official debut album Edna, which featured collaborations with Skepta, Drake, M Huncho, Young T & Bugsey, Stormzy, AJ Tracey, Future, Mahalia, Aitch, and more. There would be a deluxe edition of Edna available a few months later, which featured exclusive collaborations with RV, Burna Boy, Rich The Kid, and NorthSideBenji. In sum, Edna is his biggest hit to date, having reached the top spot on the UK Albums chart and earning silver certification.
As far as Gazo’s debut mixtape, Drill FR, was concerned, he released it in February 2021, going on to top the French album charts. The La Cour des Grands collaboration project has been dropped due to my partnership with Kim and Kalash this year.
In the midst of the summer, just when you thought Babyface Ray was about to chill after his debut album FACE was released in January 2022, he rotates the block just in time for the summer to kick in. There has been a steady increase in Michigan’s rap scene in recent years. Among the artists who have played an activetal role in this ascent, Ray is without a doubt among the most talented. He is on par with Rio Da Yung OG, Icewear Vezzo, Peezy, RMC Mike, YN Jay, etc. When all is said and done, Interscope certainly has one of the biggest stars of all time in Babyface Ray. At the rate he is progressing, he will be one of the finest artists to ever come out of Detroit. The deluxe edition of the debut album FACE was released today (May 20).
The original FACE was a hit on the streets upon its release, but the deluxe version brings more substance and does it justice. Although a number of people are hearing of Ray’s name for the first time after his debut album Unfuckwithable, the 31-year-old rapper has been pounding the pavement for a decade now based on the way he looks, but he’s been doing it for a decade now. Ray has gone from having little recognition on the national rap scene to becoming one of the most frequently referenced hip-hop artists in the Detroit community. His music has taken the scene by storm and is contributing to the growth of the Detroit hip-hop scene.
The singer, who spoke with Billboard earlier this year, offered some insight into how he envisions his career going forward: “I can’t really pinpoint what I am looking for.” Ultimately, I think it all comes down to keeping reaching and moving forward. Health and wealth for my family are top priorities for me, I also want financial stability, you see, I want what everybody else wants. The only thing I can pin down, like a certain shit, that I just want to keep going until there is no more of me.”
