Ace Hood Announces Nationwide “Protect Your Energy Tour”

Ace Hood Announces “Protect Your Energy Tour“

The Broward County Native Prepares to Criss-Cross the Country on a 30-Date Headlining Tour, Stopping in Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, and More

Slim Diesel Joins the Tour as a Special Guest

The Announcement:

Blessed with a tireless work ethic, Ace Hood’s dedication to improving his craft and his spiritual self shines through with every song and performance. Today, the Broward County native announces “Protect Your Energy Tour,” his next nationwide tour, kicking off in October. With special guest Slim Diesel, the 30-date sojourn starts in Gainesville, FL, passing through New York (10/10 @ Bowery Ballroom), Los Angeles (10/30 @ Los Globos), Dallas (11/4 @ Trees), and Houston (11/6 @ BFE Rock), before concluding in Atlanta on 11/12 (The Loft). The upcoming tour arrives on the heels of Ace’s standout performance at Rolling Loud Miami in July. Tickets for “Protect Your Energy Tour” are on sale now.

Ace Hood has had a busy 2022 so far, and he’s far from done. Most recently, he shared “Energy,” the first single from his upcoming B.O.D.Y. EP. Highlighted by fresh flows that float over the airy instrumental’s booming bass with a renewed sense of drive, the track finds Ace comfortably adorning his crown: “Heads up, the king is here in my ride/When it’s right on time and if you do not mind/I’d like a glass of Prosecco wine, I’m with the queen bout to get offline/Wait, scratch that.” The upcoming B.O.D.Y. EP reflects Ace’s dedication to improve himself through physical activity, as he explained to Men’s Health in a recent edition of Train Like.

B.O.D.Y. continues a series of EPs that started with M.I.N.D EP. Released this spring, M.I.N.D. marked a fresh, new start for Ace. The EP was animated by a clear social message that dissected the mentality required to triumph over personal and generational trauma. Whether celebrating the spoils of his hard-earned self-sovereignty as an artist on tracks like “Living Legend,” trading verses with Killer Mike on “Greatness,” or grappling with long-standing structures which serve to deny him that autonomy as a black man on songs like “Free,” M.I.N.D. served as Ace’s testament to the universal truths found only by looking inward. With B.O.D.Y., Ace aims to uncover the individual truths exposed by experiencing the universe outwardly.

As he prepares to go on tour this fall, stay tuned for much more music and mindfulness from Ace Hood.

The Background:

Amid a career highlighted by gold and platinum plaques, Top 10 albums, and A-list collaborations, Ace Hood solidified his legend as the first rapper from Broward County, FL, to reach national prominence, paving the way for artists like Kodak Black, YNW Melly (about whom Ace Hood narrated a podcast with Complex and Spotify), and more. This new path was not easily forged for Ace, who made immense personal sacrifices to invest in himself while reinventing his artistry. Ace’s journey to inhabit his new self began with his physical and mental health–he devoted himself to training (he started a supplement brand called Ace Blend to help people realize their gains), meditation, family time, and self-love. Though there were some bumps on his road to self-reliance, Ace always knew he was on the right track. “I am in a space where I’m creating the best music of my life,” says Ace. The success of his 2020 album, Mr. Hood, and its hit single, “We Ball” (75 million streams), have proven that statement, and this year, he’s on a mission to sustain, even grow, his independent empire.

NYC It Girl Ice Spice Shares Vicious Drill Anthem “Munch (Feelin U)”

Go to Post

8.10.2022

Video: Ice Spice – “Munch (Feelin U)“

Fresh Off a Co-Sign From Drake, the Rapidly Rising Bronx Native Shares a Fierce New Single

Critical Praise:

“Ice Spice’s ‘Munch (Feelin’ U)’ Is the New York Rap Song of the Summer We’ve Been Waiting For” – Pitchfork

“Setting trails ablaze as a powerful female figure in a male-dominated subculture, Bronx-made artist Ice Spice hit the New York drill scene with buzzworthy cuts like ‘Bully Freestyle’ and ‘Euphoric.’ … the 22-year-old has become synonymous with razor-sharp bars, in-your-face delivery, and ominous beats.” – Pigeons & Planes

“Ice Spice knows how to create a mood” – Pitchfork – Meet five women breathing new life into New York drill

“One of the most exciting new voices to come out of BX” – Audiomack

“Ice Spice simply has all the tools for success and knows how to use them…The 22-year-old pairs her appearance with the cleanest and catchiest production coming out of the Bronx, grabbing listeners’ attention before she even speaks” –DJ Booth

“Her presence is strong and steadfast without having to scream or degrade her way into making a point or getting people moving….abundantly clear that Ice Spice will be one of the next big names to pop from New York City” – Lyrical Lemonade

The Video:

Drawing attention from critics, fans, and rap stars as she’s climbed through the New York rap scene, everyone agrees that Ice Spice has something special going on. Taking time out of her meteoric rise to clown on hater, the Bronx native shares “Munch (Feelin U),” her new video single. Boasting the booming 808s and skittering hi-hats that define the sound of Ice Spice’s home borough, “Munch” is a no-holds-barred banger that builds up Ice Spice even as it tears down the jamoke who thinks he has a chance with her: “Baddest b*tch out, are you sh*ttin me?/If you ain’t a baddie, can’t sit with me/I swear that these b*tches my mini-me’s.” Pared down to the bare essentials, the minimalist beat allows Ice Spice to showcase her personality, her soft-spoken wit and laid-back ferocity shining through. In the video, hosted on WorldStarHipHop, Ice Spice presides over a function in her home borough, as she rhymes from atop a basketball hoop and with a crowd of homies.

The video for “Munch (Feelin U)” arrives shortly after Ice Spice earned a major co-sign from Drake after he saw her teasing the song on socials. Ice Spice’s Drake co-sign is merely the latest in a long line of signs that she’s on the road to stardom. She started buzzing in NYC with “No Clarity,” a bite-sized banger that decries the lack of communication in a relationship, and the soul-sampling “Name Of Love,“ which Ebro featured as his “discovery of the day” on Apple Music Radio. The belle of the Bronx earned even more notoriety when she hopped on Power 105’s On The Radar, delivering a freestyle that earned praise fromLyrical Lemonade, Pitchfork, who later named her one of “Five Women Breathing Life Into New York Drill,” and Audiomack, who crowned her one of the “10 Rappers You Should Know Right Now” for June 2022. New Yorkers who don’t know Ice Spice for her music might be familiar with her prominent role in the Footlocker x Converse Black Music Month initiative, which included a Times Square billboard and placement in retail stores.

In just a few short months, Ice Spice established herself as one of the most notable names in the NY scene. With much more music on the way in the near future, it won’t be long before New York has an ice cold new queen.

The Background:

Fordham Bronx native, Isis Gatson p/k/a Ice Spice, most known for her love drill tracks No Clarity and Name of Love is paving a new lane for female artists coming out of New York with her unique tone and unique sample production to compliment her emotional lyrics about love and adventure. Ice has been co-signed by Kay Flock, B. Love, Capella Grey, Toosii, and Dusty Locane to name a few, and is currently heavily buzzing in NY.

Trapland Pat Bosses Up With Rick Ross in “Big Business (Remix)”

Go to Post

8.10.2022

Video: Trapland Pat – “Big Business (Remix)” ft. Rick Ross

The Bang Biz/Alamo-Signed Rapper Balls With the Bawse in Little Haiti in the Video For the Remix of His Invigorating, Piano-Led Breakout Hit

Critical Praise:

“He’s subtly melodic and catchy even outside of the hook. He does the beat justice by making what he grew up with into something new.” – Pitchfork

“”Big Business is the #18 Best Rap Song of 2021–If “Big Business” is any indication, Trapland Pat may well become South Florida’s next rap auteur. In less than two minutes, he deftly connects Broward County’s disparate styles, vibrating at his own zany frequency.” – Passion Of The Weiss

“10 New Miami Rappers To Watch…Trapland Pat is unlike any other act to come out of South Florida. Since 2019, Pat has consistently delivered grimy bars and smooth cadences over an array of trap beats. Over the past three years, the Deerfield Beach native has been feeding his growing fanbase with singles like “Emergency” and “Dealings,” along with four projects: Exit 41, Pak Man, Interstate Baby, and 2020 Vision. (The last two albums were released via Fredo Bang’s imprint Bang Biz Productions/Create Music Group.) In 2021, Trapland Pat dropped his latest project, Thru Da Door, via Bang Biz, featuring collaborations with Kuttem Reese and Members Only rapper Kid Trunks. He’s still pushing his latest single, ‘Boondocks,”‘which dropped last month. However, on Instagram, Pat celebrated the anniversary of his song ‘Big Business’ and teased a potential remix coming later this year.” – Miami New Times

“Over the course of the last few weeks perhaps no one else has hit the scene as hard as Pat…The Florida rapper raps with wide-eyed astonishment, seemingly at his own bars sometimes which become as animated as his facial expressions. To be honest, the sheer confidence Trapland Pat employs on the track here just makes you want to pay attention or risk missing out on something.” – ELEVATOR

“Trapland Pat makes pretty music.” – Stereogum

The Video:

Trapland Pat‘s dexterous flow, deep sense of melody, and infectious smile have helped the young rapper position himself as a rising star in the bustling South Florida scene. Earning a co-sign from the Sunshine State’s sunglass-clad jefe, Pat recruits Rick Ross for “Big Business (Remix).” Built around the bouncy piano rolls of Pat’s constant collaborator Pepper Jack Zoe, “Big Business” first saw release in 2021, and quickly became Pat’s breakout hit. Exuding easy confidence and packed with off-beat wordplay (“If you need a loan, you gotta pay me interest/No cappery/ Call the weed man, ’cause this shit here swappery”) the song racked up over 4 million YouTube views and earned recognition from Passion Of The Weiss, who ranked the song #18 on its list of Best Rap Songs of 2021. On the remix, Rick Ross slides like the booming-voiced boss he is, rhyming about carrying extendos in his fresh Rolls Royce and old school Box Chevy.

The remix arrives with a new video, which brings the veteran Ross to Deerfield Beach, giving the Miami native an opportunity to bless the bustling scene in Miami’s Little Haiti neighborhood. Directed by Pat’s go-to shooter ShotByJolo, the video vibrates with excitement, as Pat and his homies celebrate their ascent. The video embodies a distinctly Floridian blend of chaos, as Pat rides a horse through Little Haiti and Rick Ross pulls up in 700 horses of his own. The video features cameo appearances from the track’s producer Pepper Jack Zoe, rappers like Sauce Walka, FCG Heem, Sauce Wooden, and Taleban Dooda, YouTubers like King Cid, J Wonder, and Pappi Willie, and DJ Sam Sneak, along with dozens of Deerfield Beach residents who turn the block into a party. “Big Business (Remix)” follows Pat’s recent project Trapnificent, which came out in May.

The follow-up to last year’s Thru Da Door, Trapnificent is home to standout singles like the joyful “Trap Dance” and the sinister “D.O.A.” Pat taps Pepper Jack Zoe to handle the bulk of the production, his creeping piano-led beats providing grounding for Pat’s larger-than-life bars and hummable melodies. Trapnificent rolls out the red carpet for a tasteful selection of guests, including Sacramento street hero Mozzy, Fredo Bang, who signed Pat to his imprint Bang Biz and appears twice on the tape, NYC Winners Circle maestro Eli Fross, and Memphis’

Ready to bring his searing street raps to a larger audience, Trapland Pat has the goods to be Broward County’s next big star. Trapnificent is available everywhere via Bang Biz Ent./Alamo Records.

King Von’s Estate Shares “Get It Done,” the Final Video from What It Means To Be King

Released in March with a #2 Billboard Debut, WIMTBK is a Worthy Follow-Up to 2020’s Welcome To O’Block, Further Establishing the Late Legend as One of the Best Storytellers of His Generation

The Video:

Exploring the turbulent environment of his Chicago home with gripping narratives and fine-tuned details, King Von could tell a story like no other. Today, Von’s estate shares the video for “Get It Done” ft. OMB Peezy, a hyperactive highlight from the artist’s posthumous album What It Means To Be King. Produced by frequent collaborator Chopsquad DJ, who provides a whirling dervish of piano arpeggios, “Get It Done” is a stern warning from both rappers about what happens to those who cross them. In the video, Von and Peezy get the drop on some would-be attackers before whipping off to a secluded area in a brand new Maserati. “Get It Done” is the latest quality visual to stem from WIMTBK, and the first since March’s “Too Real.”

A labor of love that compiles unheard music from the artist’s oeuvre, What It Means To Be King features contributions from many of the people who knew Von best, including regular producer and collaborator Chopsquad DJ, his “twin” Lil Durk, and fellow O’Block natives like Boss Top and DqFrmDaO, along with street rap heroes like like 21 Savage, Moneybagg Yo, G Herbo, and more, making plain the level of respect Von commanded in the rap game at large. Keeping the same ferocious bars of his earlier work, but also hinting at direction he might’ve taken in the future, What It Means To Be King is home to “Don’t Play That” ft. 21 Savage, one of Von’s most successful singles to date, reaching #40 on the Billboard Hot 100, climbing into the Top 10 of the Hot Rap Songs chart, and compiling 55 million streams on Spotify alone. The album made a massive splash when it debuted in March, reaching #2 on the Billboard 200 behind 59k first-week album-equivalent units sold.

With over 565 million on-demand streams to date, What It Means To Be King puts an exclamation point on Von’s legacy, confirming his status as one of the greatest talents to emerge from Chicago. A worthy follow-up to Von’s GOLD-certified debut Welcome To O-Block, the upcoming album is a bittersweet treat for fans, and a moment of closure for those who loved him most. An icon in his neighborhood and the rap game at large, WIMTBK gives King Von’s crazy story the conclusion it deserves.

Internet Money Background:

Starting as a type-beat factory and growing into a global powerhouse, Taz Taylor and Internet Money have earned 3 Grammy nominations, 58 platinum plaques, 33 gold, and 14 Billboard #1 hits since 2018. The collective is behind some of the biggest rap and R&B hits of the past few years, including Juice WRLD’s “Lucid Dreams” (1.3 billion Spotify streams), Trevor Daniel’s “Falling” (#1 Billboard Mainstream Pop, 37 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 with #17 peak), Lil Tecca’s “Ransom” (700 million Spotify streams, #4 Hot 100), and XXXTentacion’s “Fuck Love” ft. Trippie Redd (the most-played song in SoundCloud history). With 2020’s B4 The Storm album, and its double-platinum single “Lemonade” ft. Gunna, Don Toliver & NAV, Taz Taylor and Internet Money confirmed their status as the music industry’s most powerful hitmaking collective.

Internet Money was born out of necessity, a hybrid company that has filled in the gaps between the rap industry, the producer community, and the online marketplace. Disillusioned with the industry, and the way he saw rap producers being taken advantage of, Taz Taylor formed the collective in 2016 as a way to share the knowledge he’d gained from years spent selling his “type beats” online and navigating the internet’s ever-growing impact on the production landscape.

Four years in, Internet Money has expanded as a collective, including Grammy-nominated producers like Nick Mira and JR Hitmaker, and produced for Drake, Trippie Redd, Juice WRLD, and many more. “When you’re in Internet Money, you get the same opportunities that I do, you’re gonna be working with the same artists that I’m working with, and getting credits with them,” Taylor says. “Instead of working with a bunch of people we don’t know, we just have our own network that’s one big family.” Following their success breaking major artists like Trevor Daniel, and co-producing his multi-platinum hit “Falling,” Taylor and Internet Money partnered with Elliot Grange’s 10K Projects in 2019 to launch their own label.

Taz Taylor Background:

Taz Taylor has never cared about fame or clout. To hear the multi-platinum producer and Internet Money founder tell it, everything he’s done — from turning his online production hustle selling “type beats” into a $500,000 per year business to forming his own label — has been born out of necessity and guided by intuition. “I’ve been so tunnel vision during the last five years to make sure I got to this point,” he says. “It was just like, Let’s keep building.”

Though Taylor has only been in the industry for a few years, his accomplishments in that time have come at a staggering pace, notching, by his estimation, over 500 placements and around 200 gold and platinum plaques between himself and the other producers on his Internet Money team. As their leader, Taylor has quickly become a new sort of rap mogul, one who’s built his steadily growing empire from a deep knowledge of the ways music moves online, and he’s done it all from the humblest of beginnings.

“[Internet Money] grew into a music industry powerhouse that helped break stars like Juice WRLD and Lil Tecca, racking up dozens of Billboard hits and platinum plaques in the process.” – Complex

“The group of beatmakers is dominating music-streaming services” – Billboard

“It seems only inevitable that these guys are just going to continue to take the world by storm, one hit at a time.” – MTV

“Even if you aren’t familiar with L.A. production collective Internet Money, you’ve heard their beats. The group’s sounds have powered some of hip-hop’s biggest records in the past couple years, from Rich the Kid’s “Plug Walk” and Juice WRLD’s “Lucid Dreams” to Drake’s “Blue Tint.” The group is helmed by Taz Taylor, a Florida native who — true to his collective’s name — has accumulated a fortune primarily through the internet.” – The FADER

The Song:

With a sound that has cemented itself as a mainstay in the streets and on the charts, Taz Taylor and Internet Money are known for stacking plaques. Joining forces with an underground hero with a triumphantly woozy new single, Internet Money shares “2k In Tha Soda,” a collaboration with Lucki. A fixture on the Chicago scene for nearly a decade, Lucki made his name on insular anthems for faded late nights, and on “2k In Tha Soda,” IM producers Radiate, Synthetic, Perdu, ThxTrey. and Taz Taylor get on his unique wavelength. The song combines a recurring horn fanfare with seasick percussion, providing an ideal backdrop for Lucki to croak his free associative rhymes: “Said I was quitting, but I highly doubt it/I got 100’s, don’t need my flowers.” Premiered on The Zane Lowe Show on Apple Music, “2k In Tha Soda” is the latest offering from We All We Got, Internet Money’s upcoming EP.

Spanning six tracks, the EP shines a spotlight on some of the most exciting rising rappers in the game, including Yeat, Lucki, Ken Carson, and Destroy Lonely, alongside brand new releases with frequent Internet Money collaborators Lil Tecca and Lil Yachty. We All We Got is home to “No Handoutz,” the Yeat-featuring banger that dropped earlier this year, and “She Want Some More,” a spritely and romantic single featuring Ken Carson and Lil Tecca. With production from Taz Taylor, Nick Mira, and Internet Money producers like Cxdy, Census, Rio Leyva, Hologram, and more, We All We Got EP arrives on August 19th via Internet Money Records/10K Projects.

We All We Got EP and “2k In Tha Soda” continue Internet Money’s mission to grow their empire and plant their flag on rap’s future. The new singles, along with the rise of IM-affiliated artists like Dro Kenji, Rotken, and Rich Amiri, continue the momentum that the pioneering artist-producer collective built over half a decade of dominance. Earlier this year, Internet Money scored a Hot 100 hit with “Flossin'” ft. YoungBoy Never Broke Again, and connected with 24kGoldn for the genre-bending “Options.” The collective earned more than 40 RIAA plaques on songs they produced in 2021, including hits by Juice Wrld, Polo G, Lil Tecca, and The Kid Laroi, and found success as lead artists with the GOLD certified “His & Hers,” a sparkling collab with Don Toliver, Gunna, and Lil Uzi Vert, which debuted at #67 on the Billboard Hot 100. Internet Money still racks up millions of streams per week on “Lemonade” ft. Gunna, Don Toliver & NAV, the triple-Platinum, Billboard Top 10 2020 hit from B4 The Storm, Internet Money’s star-studded first full-length.

Armed with a brand new studio in Santa Monica, CA and more beats than one can count, Internet Money is ready to show the world how much they’ve grown. Stay tuned for much more music from Internet Money as they continue to advance Taz Taylor’s industry-conquering ambitions.

The Background:

Internet Money Background:

Starting as a type-beat factory and growing into a global powerhouse, Taz Taylor and Internet Money have earned 3 Grammy nominations, 58 platinum plaques, 33 gold, and 14 Billboard #1 hits since 2018. The collective is behind some of the biggest rap and R&B hits of the past few years, including Juice WRLD’s “Lucid Dreams” (1.3 billion Spotify streams), Trevor Daniel’s “Falling” (#1 Billboard Mainstream Pop, 37 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 with #17 peak), Lil Tecca’s “Ransom” (700 million Spotify streams, #4 Hot 100), and XXXTentacion’s “Fuck Love” ft. Trippie Redd (the most-played song in SoundCloud history). With 2020’s B4 The Storm album, and its double-platinum single “Lemonade” ft. Gunna, Don Toliver & NAV, Taz Taylor and Internet Money confirmed their status as the music industry’s most powerful hitmaking collective.

Internet Money was born out of necessity, a hybrid company that has filled in the gaps between the rap industry, the producer community, and the online marketplace. Disillusioned with the industry, and the way he saw rap producers being taken advantage of, Taz Taylor formed the collective in 2016 as a way to share the knowledge he’d gained from years spent selling his “type beats” online and navigating the internet’s ever-growing impact on the production landscape.

Four years in, Internet Money has expanded as a collective, including Grammy-nominated producers like Nick Mira and JR Hitmaker, and produced for Drake, Trippie Redd, Juice WRLD, and many more. “When you’re in Internet Money, you get the same opportunities that I do, you’re gonna be working with the same artists that I’m working with, and getting credits with them,” Taylor says. “Instead of working with a bunch of people we don’t know, we just have our own network that’s one big family.” Following their success breaking major artists like Trevor Daniel, and co-producing his multi-platinum hit “Falling,” Taylor and Internet Money partnered with Elliot Grange’s 10K Projects in 2019 to launch their own label.

Taz Taylor Background:

Taz Taylor has never cared about fame or clout. To hear the multi-platinum producer and Internet Money founder tell it, everything he’s done — from turning his online production hustle selling “type beats” into a $500,000 per year business to forming his own label — has been born out of necessity and guided by intuition. “I’ve been so tunnel vision during the last five years to make sure I got to this point,” he says. “It was just like, Let’s keep building.”

Though Taylor has only been in the industry for a few years, his accomplishments in that time have come at a staggering pace, notching, by his estimation, over 500 placements and around 200 gold and platinum plaques between himself and the other producers on his Internet Money team. As their leader, Taylor has quickly become a new sort of rap mogul, one who’s built his steadily growing empire from a deep knowledge of the ways music moves online, and he’s done it all from the humblest of beginnings.

Dro Kenji and DC The Don Serve Hard-Edged Melody in “SO WHAT” Video

“So What” is a Highlight From LOST IN HERE EP, Now Available On All DSPs

The Prolific 20-Year-Old Prepares For His Next Project ANYWHERE BUT HERE, Dropping On August 26th

Critical Praise:

“His future is bright” – XXL

“South Carolina rock-infused rapper Dro Kenji has been on a tear since last August when he received a call from the Internet Money team. Releasing project after project, Kenji has been showcasing his impressive vocals and emotion-filled lyrics. With his newest project, “F*CK YOUR FEELINGS”, we see Kenji’s most confident and cohesive work.” – Earmilk

“Once he selects a beat, the melodies and lyrics flood over him like an epiphany. The result is raw and heart-sinking music, meant to be a guiding light to fans.” – Audiomack

The Video:

Supernaturally skilled at finding tuneful ways to approach an instrumental, few rappers in today’s game can carry a melody like Dro Kenji. Today, the ultra-talented 20-year-old teams up with another budding Gen Z icon for “SO WHAT,” his new music video. Produced by Census, Banrisk, Dynox, Bak, Morgn & Taz Taylor of Internet Money, the track finds Kenji and 22-year-old Milwaukee rapper DC The Don trading verses over distorted, rage-friendly synths. In the video, Kenji and DC flex in front of a blood red background, stunting like two Gotham City villains who finally got the best of Batman. “SO WHAT” is a standout track from LOST IN HERE EP, now available on all platforms.

Blessed by lush production from Internet Money producers including Nick Mira, Taz Taylor, Cxdy, Census, and many others, the new EP creates a sonic world that is easy to get lost in. The 20-year-old artist has the charisma to hold his own against the stellar instrumentals, as he weaves between minor-key arpeggios in “One Time” and bounces around a walking bassline in “BONEYARD.” LOST IN HERE follows in the wake of WITH OR WITHOUT YOU, home to singles like “VANISH“ and “FINDERS KEEPERS” ft. Scorey, and ahead of ANYWHERE BUT HERE, Kenji’s next project. Home to the single “THEY DON’T KNOW” plus more songs to be revealed soon, ANYWHERE BUT HERE arrives on August 26th viaMiraTouch/Internet Money Records.

Just 20-years-old, Dro Kenji has amassed a sizable discography. Determined to hustle his way to new heights, the young rapper is improving with every release. The South Carolina native is following up a breakout 2021, during which he released two albums and the hit single “KILL CUPID” ft. $NOT (20+ million Spotify streams). He was a standout performer at this year’s SXSW, performing at multiple showcases including Rolling Loud x RapTV‘s extravaganza at Stubb’s, and catching up with Variance Magazine.

Sit back and stay tuned as Dro Kenji continues his ascent to the highest echelons of the rap game.

The Background:

Dro Kenji’s rise is a testament to the power of the internet. Last year, the 19-year-old artist was a senior in high school in South Carolina, releasing a string of captivating singles and mixtapes on his SoundCloud. Now, he’s preparing to release his debut album on Mira Touch/ Internet Money Records/ 10K Projects, collaborating closely with the label’s team of platinum-certified producers, and hoping to earn some plaques of his own. A true child of the digital age, raised on video games and the lo-fi sounds of rap’s online underground, he has a remarkable ability to capture both the apathy and aspiration of his generation in his songs and a spellbinding voice with which to tell these stories.

Jay Fizzle Teams with Key Glock for New Single from 8/12 DonaFizzo Mixtape

Jay Fizzle Announces DonaFizzo, a New Mixtape, Out August 12th

The Memphis Rapper Connects with His Paper Route Empire Compatriot Key Glock for “Standing On Top Of Sh*t” Video

The Longest-Tenured PRE Signee Prepares a 15-Track Mixtape With Guest Spots from Big Scarr, Jackboy, Big Moochie Grape, and More

The Announcement + Video:

Memphis rapper Jay Fizzle has what it takes to blow up in his city and beyond. Today, the Paper Route Empire rapper announces DonaFizzo, his next mixtape, coming this week. Packed with high definition production from heavy hitters like Bandplay, Sosa 808, Ayoza, and more, DonaFizzo is a no-holds-barred trapfest that highlights Fizzle’s tumbling delivery and facility with flexing. With a style inspired by his mentor Young Dolph, Fizzle’s new project radiates with the energy of a hungry artist who understands the kind of hustle and work ethic it takes to escape the circumstances of his birth. The tape is home to singles like the Bandplay-produced “Last Song,” the playalistic “4 HOS,” and most recently, the sinister SNUPE BANDZ collab “Murder.” Featuring appearances from his PRE family, including Key Glock, Big Moochie Grape, Joddy, and SNUPE BANDZ, plus a cadre of kindred spirits like Big Scarr, Jackboy, and 21 Lil Harold, DonaFizzo releases on August 12th via Paper Route Empire.

Along with the announcement, Fizzle shares “Standing On Top Of Sh*t,” a new video single. The song finds Fizzle going toe-to-toe with Key Glock, as the two longest-tenured Paper Route Empire signees strut their stuff atop ghostly vocal samples and thunderous Tennessee-style trap percussion. Both emcees are in fine form, as Fizzle compares his crew to an infamous Central Asian caliphate (“We the Taliban, blow up a n**** spot like a terrorist/But I’m not from Afghanistan, b*tch I’m from Memphistan”), while Mr. Glock expounds upon his unparalleled ability to blow a bag: ““I stacked this cash up to the ceiling then went and bought a car with no roof.” In the video, Fizzle and Glock set a sinister vibe that matches their signature styles. Fizzle struts his stuff in a purple-tinged room with illuminati imagery, while Glock stunts in surroundings draped by Yellow Tape.

DonaFizzo is the latest salvo in a busy year for Jay Fizzle and the rest of PRE. Fizzle kicked off the year with purpose, sharing “LLD,” a heartfelt tribute to his mentor Young Dolph. Adorned with lush harmonies and a star vocal turn from Ricco Barrino, “Long Live Dolph” finds Jay Fizzle baring his soul, the South Memphis native audibly emotional when he relays his gratitude to his mentor for teaching him everything he knows: “The way I talk, the way I walk, the way I act, the way I dress/The way I do my thing up in the booth, I learned it from the best.” With over 1.6 million views on YouTube, “LLD” is the opening track from Paper Route Empire Presents: Long Live Dolph, a compilation album from the independent label, which features appearances from nearly every artist on PRE, including Key Glock, Big Moochie Grape, Kenny Muney and more.

The Detroit Heavy-Hitter Signs With Quality Control Music

The Celebrated Rapper and Entrepreneur Shares a High-Profile Collab and Enters Into A Partnership With a Premier Rap Label

The 6 Mile Native’s New Mixtape Rich Off Pints 3 is Available Everywhere Now

Critical Praise:

“The King of contemporary Detroit rap” – HYPEBEAST

“‘Champions’ is arguably the best single out of Detroit this year” – Pitchfork

“As a Detroit hip-hop veteran, Icewear Vezzo has earned his position in the city’s hierarchy. With his first mixtape, The Clarity, dropping in 2013, and turning into a series, along with his presence in Detroit, the groundwork he’s put in over time is respected.”- XXL

“I don’t think a day will go by moving forward where he isn’t one of the main points in every conversation about rap all over the world.” – Lyrical Lemonade

The Announcement:

Detroit heavy-hitter Icewear Vezzo announces his new record deal with Quality Control Music. The critically acclaimed artist and entrepreneur joins game-changing artists like Migos, Lil Baby, and City Girls on the label’s star-studded roster. Along with the signing announcement, Vezzo shares his new video single “It’s All On U,” a collaboration with rap superstar Kodak Black. The Kardiak-directed video finds Vezzo and Kodak mobbing in the Mitten, as Kodak rocks University of Michigan attire from head to toe.

Stream “It’s All On U” ft. Kodak Black: https://icewearvezzo.lnk.to/itsallonyou

“I think QC was the best fit for me,” says Icewear Vezzo. “The structure of the label and the way Coach and P respect the artists’ creativity—that’s important. You don’t see that a lot. They take what you already got and just add to it and make it way bigger.”

Icewear Vezzo’s entrepreneurial spirit and history of setting trends makes him a perfect fit for the label’s roster. The 6 Mile native established himself over a decade as one of the most respected slick-talkers in Detroit’s bustling rap scene. He was instrumental in shaping the city’s dark, piano-and-punchline-heavy sound with his popular Clarity, Robbin Season, and Rich Off Pints mixtape series.

“P and I have a lot in common with the way we look at the rap game and opportunities,” says Vezzo. “When we first linked up it was just ‘I f*ck with your brand, and your hustle.’ We just vibed. We just vibed for like a year straight before we even discussed the possibility of signing. I admire P–he’s doing sh*t a whole other way.”

Read a Q&A with Vezzo about his new deal at Billboard: https://www.billboard.com/music/rb-hip-hop/icewear-vezzo-signs-quality-control-interview-1235121533/

The Iced Up Records CEO’s new partnership arrives on the heels of Rich Off Pints 3, the concluding chapter of Vezzo’s signature mixtape series. Continuing the path set by 2021’s Rich Off Pints and Rich Off Pints 2, which generated a combined 150 million streams across platforms, Rich Off Pints 3 is the product of a man who has been through hell in the pursuit of better days. The tape recently earned praise from Pitchfork, who stated, “His latest project basks in the idea that an album this regionally specific can still have nationwide appeal.” The new project has guest appearances from Lil Baby, Lil Durk, Key Glock–who appeared with Vezzo last month in the video for “Whatever“–E-40, G Herbo, and many others, and is available everywhere via Iced Up Records.

Vezzo’s new deal with Quality Control marks the start of an exciting new period of success for the budding superstar. Consistently racking up more than 4 million streams on his catalog per week, Vezzo’s ambitions reach far beyond music, and even beyond the physical realm. The Iced Up Records CEO is a serial entrepreneur, starting his own businesses in fields as diverse as real estate, cannabis, snacks (We Eatin! brand recently dropped Vezzo’s own flavor of chips, called Vezzo Hotz), and jewelry maintenance. Vezzo is on track to be a pioneer in the burgeoning metaverse, with his own VezzoVerse launching soon and a forthcoming line of NFTs.

With limitless ambition and the work ethic to achieve his every desire, it’s only a matter of time before Icewear Vezzo takes over the game.

The Background:

Respected from The A to The Bay and everywhere in between, Icewear Vezzo helped build the Detroit rap scene into the flourishing behemoth it is today. Since releasing his first mixtape The Clarity in 2013, Vezzo built a large and loyal fanbase in The Mitten and beyond, feeding the streets and his 131k YouTube subscribers with high-quality releases and representing for Detroit on tracks by Big Sean, G Herbo, Drakeo The Ruler, DJ Mustard, Zaytoven, and many others. The 31-year-old artist frequently collaborates with other major figures in the Detroit scene, including Peezy and Babyface Ray, who he featured on his street hit –in just the past two years, Vezzo made waves with songs like “Meg Thee Stallion” ft. Babyface Ray, GT & Veeze (7.8 million YouTube views. named one of the Best Songs of 2020 by Passion Of The Weiss), “The Sit-Down” ft. Babyface Ray (6.2 million views), and “Dog Action” ft. Rio Da Yung OG (10 million YouTube views).

In addition to his heavy stature in the rap game, Vezzo makes moves as an entrepreneur in multiple industries. He’s the owner of his own label Iced Up Records, recently launched the Iced Up Films, a production company whose first film Price Of Love (starring Vezzo himself) is available for rent on Amazon, and is the CEO of his own clothing company Drank God Clothing. Though he’s a self-made man, Vezzo never forgets to give back–his company Iced Up Realty focuses on providing affordable housing in the Detroit community in which he was raised, and he teamed up with his mom to start The Detroit Rappers Organization, which is heavily involved in seasonal giveaways and field trips for Detroit’s youth.

Rich Amiri Aims for Musical Immortality with Internet Money-Produced “Can’t Die”

Go to Post

8.5.2022

Video: Rich Amiri – “Can’t Die” (Prod. by Internet Money)

Boston’s Smooth-Voiced Rager Continues His Hot Streak With a Fiery New Video Single

Critical Praise:

“For someone who has only been rapping for two years, Rich continues to deliver nothing but perfection track after track.” – Lyrical Lemonade

The Video:

Rich Amiri stands out in the underground with his smooth delivery and captivating vocals. Showing off his golden pipes, Amiri shares “Can’t Die,” a chest-thumping new single. Produced by Cxdy and Taz Taylor of Internet Money, “Can’t Die” finds Amiri nimbly cut through lumbering 808s and raging arpeggios with insistent triplets. The rapper’s smooth, baritone drawl is the perfect mechanism to make grandiose boasts feel natural: “They treatin’ me like a God, they look at me like I’m parting in the skies.” The song arrives with a cinematic video, directed by Declan Kyle, that contains visual references to The Matrix, Dexter, and more.

“Can’t Die” arrives hot on the heels of “ruthless” and “trouble,” a two-pack of rage-friendly singles that dropped last week. “ruthless” and “trouble” continue a busy year for the 18-year-old riser. Last month, the Boston-area native shared For The Better, his debut project. Featuring appearances from SSGKobe, Summrs, and others, the 8-song effort showcased Amiri’s beyond-his-years maturity and sharp songwriting, while Internet Money helped craft a soundscape that suited his inimitable voice.

Since he started uploading songs to his SoundCloud in 2020, Rich Amiri has established himself as a fixture in rap’s burgeoning melodic underground. He first earned recognition with his 2021 song “Never Fail,” which surpassed 2.7 million plays on SoundCloud, and he struck again late last year with his bubbling hit “Walk In.” Most recently, the young artist shared the video for his For The Better highlight “Bounty.”

With the respect of his peers and a fast-growing fanbase, Rich Amiri is on the path to stardom. Stay tuned for much more from the rising rapper in the near future.

Please contact Michelle or Kevin for more info.

The Background:

Hypnotic and honeyed, Rich Amiri’s voice is like little else in rap. Having only recently started taking music seriously, his syrupy melodies have already helped him stand out from his peers in plugg&B–a slurry blend of soul and cloud rap that’s been taking over the internet. Amiri’s humble and nonchalant about his gifts but that hasn’t stopped him from becoming one of his scene’s most free-associative songwriters. He switches lanes with grace, as evidenced by some of the highlights from his recent EP Chase. Tracks like “J10” are low-key and sensitive, while “Never Fail” allows him room to rage, showing off his many sides in quick succession. Though the 18-year-old hails from Boston, he’s a child of the internet who’s been uploading bedroom recordings to SoundCloud since 2020. Like many Gen Z stars, Amiri is something of a one-man army. He says even before he made music, he was on TikTok “from sunup to sundown,” meaning he knew exactly how to get “Never Fail” to go viral—and it’s now inching toward 2 million SoundCloud streams. He’s aligned with the proudly independent 10K Projects, but he has no interest in messing with a successful formula. Amiri’s just getting started, but he’s already starting to accomplish his goals, reaching fans and sharing his innermost feelings. And yet, he’s quickly learned not to force anything. He’s made it this far by trusting his gut, after all. “If it’s a good beat, it’ll speak to me,” he says. “Then I make it speak to other people, too. “

DC The Don Continues to Flex Whether You “HATE IT OR LOVE IT”

Video: DC The Don – “HATE IT OR LOVE IT”

The Rostrum Records Artist Embraces His Aggressive Side in His First New Single Since His My Own Worst Enemy Album

Critical Praise:

“Not only can he sing with so much emotion behind his words, but he also knows how to masterfully rap as well as switch up his cadences constantly, always keeping you guessing about what he’s going to do next.” – Lyrical Lemonade

“Los Angeles by way of Milwaukee’s DC The Don is part rapper, part rockstar, excelling in the melodic and riotous lane popularized by cult heroes like Lil Uzi Vert and Trippie Redd.”– Audiomack

The Video:

Switching effortlessly between melodic anthems and aggressive rage raps, DC The Don brings a new element to the rap scene with his versatility. Today, he shows off his rapidfire bars in the flex-heavy new video for “HATE IT OR LOVE IT,” his first new single since releasing My Own Worst 3nemy. The accompanying video for “HATE IT OR LOVE IT” goes live at 4pm ET/1pm PT on DC’s YouTube channel.

Giving viewers a glimpse into a day in DC’s life, the “HATE IT OR LOVE IT” video finds the young rapper getting ready to take on the world. Empowered by pep talks from idols like Tracy McGrady and Andrew Garfield’s Spider-Man, DC proves he’s the king of his house, putting anyone who gets in his way in their place. Embodying his demonic, red-headed DONNY persona, the Milwaukee-native spits villainous rhymes over a sinister 808-heavy beat, rapping “Hate it or love it/B**ch I’m too hot got my s**t out the oven/Blueberry, Burberry diamonds they bussin.’”

“HATE IT OR LOVE IT” is DC’s first new single since releasing My Own Worst Enemy, his second studio album, in February. The project tells a loose narrative about DC’s inner conflict, which manifests as a battle between two distinct personalities: the wholesome RAG3 KIDD and the demonic DONNY. The album kicks off in DONNY mode, featuring some of DC’s hardest tracks to date, including the massive “ENEMIES,” with a beat that sounds like a malfunctioning supercomputer, and the devilish “MAKAVELI,” a fiery lyrical exercise. As the tracklist progresses, RAG3 KIDD makes his presence felt, emoting over candy-coated production on pop culture-referencing tracks like “iCarly :/,” “Scott Pilgrim,” and “Futurama 2099.”

Blending elements of rap, pop-punk, hyperpop, and more, My Own Worst Enemy both expands and refines DC’s sound, allowing the 22-year-old rapper to showcase every facet of his wide-ranging vocal ability. With production by heavy-hitters like JetsonMade, Starboy, Supah Mario, Trademark Charlie Heat, Astroboy, and more, who deliver DC some of their most adventurous beats, MOW3 percolates with the energy of a young artist testing the limits of what he’s capable of accomplishing–and having fun while doing it.

With over 50 million streams to date on My Own Worst Enemy, DC The Don is asserting his place as one of the most exciting and versatile young rappers in the game. Stay tuned and watch his next move.

The Background:

DC The Don is a rapper from Milwaukee, WI. In 2016, at the age of 16 and standing 6’7”, DC moved to Los Angeles to pursue a basketball career under Lavar Ball and alongside teammate LaMelo Ball. During this time, he fell in love with music and used his spare time to make experimental records which suddenly gained traction – As the public became increasingly aware of DC The Don’s talent for rapping, NBA player Lonzo Ball featured his song “Everything 1k” on the first Big Baller Brand shoe commercial, introducing DC The Don’s music to an even wider audience. DC signed to Rostrum Records in 2020, releasing his debut album Come As You Are on August 7th, generating over 125 million streams across platforms. The artist looks to reach another level with My Own Worst Enemy, his ambitious new album, available everywhere now.

Fat Money Fine-Tunes a Timeless Sound on ‘Money Got Wings’

Go to Post

8.5.2022

Album: Fat Money – Money Got Wings

Known For His Behind-The-Scenes Work with Ye, Dr. Dre, Pusha T, AB, and More, the Harvey, IL Native’s 10-Track Album Features Production From Cardo and a Guest Spot from Bump J

Critical Praise:

“[Fat Money] is a lyrical rapper, but his dense thickets of wordplay are more concerned with depicting scenes and telling stories than drawing attention to their own cleverness.” – Pitchfork

“He’s been recording for years, weaving subtly artful narratives about life in his far-flung, poverty-stricken city.” – Noisey

“Each volume has showcased what makes Money stand out: his vivid narratives of street life, freighted with pathos, delivered in a rush of syllables that cuts through the instrumentals like a souped-up car racing through a mountain tunnel.” – Chicago Reader

The Announcement:

Armed with a veteran’s poise and an up-and-comer’s ambition, Fat Money is a street-savvy standout who bucks trends and ducks comparison. Today, the Chicago-area emcee shares his debut album, Money Got Wings. A collaboration with multi-platinum producer Cardo, who produced many of the album’s tracks, the project finds Fat Money spinning hardened street narratives through clever wordplay with the combative attitude of Chicago’s last-man-standing.

That well-earned sense of exception permeates throughout the album’s ten tracks. Teased by a pair of visual medleys, “Part 1,” which featured snippets of the singles “Introskii” and “400 Degrees,” and “Part 2,” which featured “Bag From Hell,” “Aww Man,” and “2004,” Money Got Wings captures the cinematic scenery and hard-learned lessons of a street-led life in exquisite detail. Whether he’s reveling in his OG status with Chicago legend Bump J on “Old White Man,” flaunting his versatility with potent melodies on “Dracula,” or strong-arming the snakes with explosive drill flows on “BackInnaRaq,” Money Got Wings is an elevation from start to finish.

Since receiving cosigns from Kanye West, who he wrote for on Donda 2, Dr. Dre, with whom he recently spent time in the studio, Pusha T, and Antonio Brown, the industry is taking note of Fat Money’s ability to go bar-for-bar with the best in the game. On his recent release, Disruptive 2, the artist flexed his lyrical muscles over well-known beats from artists like Future and Tems, following up December’s 7-track Disruptive, on which Fat Money took songs from Kodak Black, Chief Keef, and more and made them his own. With a career’s worth of momentum behind him, and an album on the way, Fat Money is ready to ascend to his rightful place among rap royalty.

Born and raised in Harvey, Illinois, an exurb 30 mins south of Chicago, Fat Money has built a loyal following since emerging onto the scene in 2011. He earned critical acclaim for his mixtape series Cinco De Money, a dark and dense project that delivered street-level stories about his hometown which he released every May 5th for 6 years straight. Armed with a new name, new management (SALXCO), new label (EMPIRE), and a new album on the way, Fat Money is ready to disrupt old patterns and put the industry on notice—there’s no stopping his takeover.

Project: Ron Suno – SUNO MODE

The King of the Bronx Flips a Switch over 15 Tracks, Featuring Appearances from Rowdy Rebel, Money Man, DUSTY LOCANE, Rah Swish, & More

Watch New Video for “SALLY” ft. Kyle Richh, TaTa & Jenn Carter

Critical Praise:

“Whether he’s getting tons of retweets because he danced with Hip Hop Harry on Instagram, or churning out yet another song that shows off his personality, the rapper finds a way to keep all eyes in his direction.” – XXL

“Posting skits that exude his loud personality and hilarious sense-of-humor, his #WeaveChallenge became an instant sensation — cementing his name in the entertainment industry.” – FLAUNT

The Project:

Heavy is the head that wears the crown, unless that crown belongs to the “King of the Bronx”: Ron Suno. Today, the trailblazer of BX drill’s latest wave shares his new project, SUNO MODE, available now via SBL Music Group/EMPIRE. As the ever-viral drill sensation flaunts his sharpened cadences and refined flows on the new project, he sets his sights on a more fitting throne:

“I want to be more than the king of the Bronx,” says Ron Suno. “I want to be the king of everything– inspire the kids and show them that they can do whatever they want. The sky is the limit of what you can achieve, never settle for less.”

Already a proven inspiration to the youth with the project’s viral single, “What They Gon Say” (over 20 million Spotify streams and 11 million YouTube views) and its Rowdy Rebel-featuring remix, SUNO MODE elevates Ron’s infectious energy to new heights. Whether he’s blending his Bronx drill sound with Jersey club beats on “ONE NIGHT,” bringing new life to familiar favorites on “OH LETS DO IT,” or letting his refreshingly reflective side shine on “FALL OFF,” the fast-paced project progresses without a dull moment. The new project is home to “SHOES” ft. DUSTY LOCANE & Rah Swish (2 million+ views in two weeks), a showcase for New York’s sturdiest steppers.

“I turned a switch on, unleashing a new power,” says Ron. “I think about video games, and how there’s a mode you have to get in and it can make you invincible. When I’m in SUNO MODE, I’m invincible.”

Along with SUNO MODE, the followup to 2021’s Jokes Up, Ron shares his video for SUNO MODE highlight “SALLY,” a booming Bronx affair. The song boasts an apocalyptic drill instrumental, providing a stage for Ron to go toe-to-toe with Kyle Richh, TaTa, and Jenn Carter, a rising NYC drill trio known for their viral On The Radar freestyle. In the video, Ron and the three risers mob with a cast of thousands in a Bronx park, as they do their dance and go super saiyan with their fast-paced flows.

With the BX on his shoulders and the drill scene in his hands, keep an eye on Ron while he’s in SUNO MODE all summer.

The Background:

Winning fans with his unique blend of skills, Ron Suno built up a massive following on Instagram (over 1 million followers), YouTube, SoundCloud, and TikTok with his amusing skits and admirable artistry. Ever since high school, Suno has been a restless creative. He uses every expressive outlet available to him to get his message across, from music to short-form video to dance challenges to acting in BK Juice, a new film starring his NYC cohort Rah Swish. Suno’s music career started to take off in 2019 when he dropped “Pinocchio,” which racked up over 9 million Spotify streams and caught the attention of Blueface, who hopped on the remix. Last June, buoyed by the momentum of “Pinocchio,” Ron released Swag Like Mike, the project that put Suno on the map with hit singles like “SPIDER-MAN” ft. Fivio Foreign.

Noodah05 Honors the Woman That Raised Him in “Tameka” ft. Rylo Rodriguez

Go to Post

8.5.2022

Video: Noodah05 – “Tameka” ft. Rylo Rodriguez (Prod. by Chi Chi)

Critical Praise:

“While Noodah05 may not be a household name yet, he is proving his potential on a new single called ‘Wild Child”‘with Lil Baby.” – HotNewHipHop

“Noodah05 is one of 4PF’s new exciting artists. The camp is led by Hip-hop MVP Lil Baby, so you know he is dope if Baby co-signed him.” – Kazi

The Video:

A young buck with the wisdom of an OG, FourPocketsFull artist Noodah05 had to grow up fast. Paying tribute to his mother on a heartfelt trap anthem, Noodah shares “Tameka,“ a track that bears her name. Over an emotional instrumental from Chi Chi, which samples the 2016 hit “Immortal” by Elly Duhé, the Atlanta rapper delivers a confessional verse with drawly melodies, thanking his mother for providing for him and mourning friends that he lost in the streets. Fellow 4PF rapper Rylo Rodriguez joins him for the second verse, croaking a memorable 16 about how he copes with the difficulties of street living. In the video, directed by Diesel Films, Noodah shows how his mother has always been there to take care of him and how she inspires him to better himself every day.

The moving “Tameka” is Noodah’s second single and Diesel Films-directed video of 2022. It arrives in the wake of “Breathe,” a menacingly airy banger that finds Noodah delivering frenzied flows that leave his enemies gasping for air. Both “Tameka” and “Breathe” will appear on Underrated, Noodah’s upcoming mixtape, arriving soon via FourPocketsFull.

The two new singles continue Noodah’s rapid rise through his hometown scene, which started soon after he picked up the mic for the first time in 2018. With an artist name that derives from a nickname given to him by his grandma, Noodah linked up with Lil Baby, who was impressed to hear a neighborhood kid rapping with such emotional sincerity. Baby signed Noodah to his FourPocketsFull imprint, and gave him a boost by hopping on his single “Wild Child,” also produced by Chi Chi, which has more than 11 million views on YouTube and 20 million streams across platforms. Noodah continued to turn heads with his 2020 project Merciless, home to “Wild Child,” and his 2021 effort Reborn, featuring appearances from Vory, Bankroll Freddie, and Noodah’s fellow 4PF signee Lil Kee.

Stay tuned for much more from the 4PF stunner, who is determined to validate Lil Baby’s faith and follow his footsteps on the path to trap stardom

total video creations). Now, the Warner Records-signed artist is trending on TikTok once again, with his song “Oklahoma Smokeshow,” a song that inspires fans from all states to strut their stuff. The song has over 17k creations, many of which coming in the past week, including a humorous clip from Mason Ramsey. Meanwhile, Zach Bryan continues to make TikToks for his nearly 1 million followers. He shows off his performance chops, shares snippets of new songs, and creates comedy sketches about life on the road.
Rising Philadelphia rapper Armani White is having a major moment on TikTok with his high-energy track “BILLIE EILISH.” Named after acclaimed singer-songwriter and TikTok favorite Billie Eilish, the track has garnered over 147.7K creations and sparked a trend in which creators, including Armani himself, use video transitions to flaunt their style. Recently on the platform, the booming track has kicked off a new, more humorous trend in which creators use the “Face Ratio” filter to transform their face. While some creators barely see a change, others hilariously realize they may look like Pixar’s beloved Ice Age character Sid the Sloth. The energetic song has also been a go-to soundtrack for athletes and skaters to show off their skills. Armani White, who actively engages on the platform, teased the track earlier this year and, due to its success on the platform and beyond (33 million Spotify streams and counting), recently signed a deal with Def Jam Records.
Singer-songwriter Jax has built a reputation and a large following on TikTok with her humorous and relatable songs. This summer, she’s struck again with “Victoria’s Secret,” a clever song about body positivity and societal beauty standards. Since she shared the song on June 30, the song generated over 20k video creations, and Jax’s follower count has grown by over 450k. Last week, Jax organized a flash mob outside of a Victoria’s Secret store and posted the results on TikTok–the video of the flash mob has over 23 million views. This week, the song overtook Kate Bush to become the top song on the iTunes all-genre charts.
Though fans on TikTok show their love of music in many different ways, the TikTok community always has time for a fun dance trend. The newest one sweeping through the platform in recent weeks is soundtracked by a bouncy remix to Skaiwater’s “eyes” (276K+ creations). Blending emotional lyrics with a club instrumental, the remix inspires creators to put their best foot forward and try out the moves choreographed by creator @redwingnation. Creators are hitting the dance everywhere, from the living room and kitchen to a boat in the Miami waters,. Some creators tap into their inner dance teacher as they put all their energy into trying to teach their family the choreography.
Creators in the TikTok community often connect with one another through shared experiences, whether they’re good or bad. Drawing inspiration from K. Michelle’s soulful ballad “Cry” (24.4K+ creations), creators take a lighthearted approach as they share their perspectives on their worst IRL experiences. Using K. Michelle’s emphatic lines, “You gon’ suffer, I done took too much of this/You gon’ cry,” creators reflect on their poor dating experiences and wearing painful shoes in the name of fashion. In other recent videos, creators use the song to soundtrack their cooking processes, relationship videos, and workout routines.
SoundOn artist Katherine Li scored a trending hit on TikTok earlier this summer with her song “Never Had A Chance,” and now, with a new song making waves on the platform, she must be feeling déjà vu. The singer-songwriter started teasing her song “Happening Again” in Early June, with a voice-and-piano performance, telling a story about a recurring love that won’t seem to go away. Since then, the song has generated over 56k video creations, as users offer relationship advice, share ideas for wedding gifts, and update the community on their rescue pups. Katherine Li’s TikTok success is leading to off-platform results–each of her songs, including “Never Had A Chance” and “Happening Again,” have over 2 million streams on Spotify and she’s cultivated an audience of 1.2 million monthly listeners.
TikTok frequently breathes new life into nostalgic hits, as creators in the community discover and share catalog favorites. Recently, creators gave new context to former America’s Got Talent contestant Alexis Jordan’s 2010 breakout single, “Happiness.” Garnering over 176K+ total creations, the inspirational dance song inspires creators to share some of the things they’re sick of hearing from peers. In recent videos, creators share lists of things to never say to single people, express their distaste about commentary on their height, and reveal negative opinions from teachers about their hair color preferences. In other creations, the catchy song finds creators sharing their healthy salad recipes, documenting their hair journeys, and listing the reasons why they love being single.

Earlier this week, Ticketmaster announced an integration with TikTok that enables users to discover and purchase tickets to various live events–including concerts, sporting events, and comedy shows–directly from TikTok. Whether you’re an artist, sports team, venue or event organizer looking to create awareness of your events or a fan looking to enrich your content by promoting your favorite shows or match-ups, this new mini-app will allow creators to engage with their audience through a clickable ‘Get Tickets’ call-to-action on your videos. The Ticketmaster integration launches as a limited pilot, offered to a number of creators in the US and Canada.

Stay tuned to see how users utilize the new Ticketmaster integration!

Rot Ken Rolls Down the Road Home in a “Foreign”

Press Release

Rot Ken Rolls Down the Road Home in a “Foreign”

Go to Post

8.4.2022

Video: Rot Ken – “Foreign”

The Internet Money/Spaceboy Productions Riser is Homeward Bound in New Video from Free Me Project

Critical Praise:

“His most recent offering “007” is definitely going to have you bobbing your head and realizing why he’s beginning to gain some much-deserved traction with his music.” – Lyrical Lemonade

“Touting hard-hitting 808s and iridescent ad-libs, Ken’s passionate vocals are the star of the show, coming through with waves of self-reflective depth and power to overcome the adversity he faces.” – Our Generation Music

The Song + Video:

With his raw, unfiltered bars that flow through freeform melodies with a sharpened timbre, Rot Ken is not to be overlooked. The young leader of Georgia’s newest wave of artists continues his celebration of his newfound freedom with a new video for his JetsonMade-produced track, “Foreign,” from his recent Free Me project. Ken floats over the buoyant beat, foregoing traditional traditional song structure in favor of free flowing, extemporaneous verse, while dropping gems like, “Sipped it out the bottle, baby girl, now I need a nap/She say I’m moving slow just like her granddaddy/N****s got it, but yeah, I done been had it.”

The Man Films-directed “Foreign” video continues the artist’s homecoming, which launched last week with his new video single, “Rollin.” As the “Foreign” video opens with Ken hanging out the sunroof of a red convertible, the track’s triumphant, fast-paced horns create the sense of nerve, wonder, and excitement that can only come from a prodigal son’s return. As he makes his way into the city, he’s greeted by a billboard reading, “Free Rot Ken,” before returning home to wander around the kitchen, try on all the clothes in his closet, and take stock of each individual blessing he’s now free to relish.

Though Ken has been away for much of 2022, his presence was still heavily felt. In May, the Internet Money/Spaceboy Productions artist shared Free Me, a 17-track project that showed his range, and demonstrated his singular ability to cut through immersive production with effervescent flows. The Augusta native’s project featured underground hits like “Baby Choppa” (1.6 million Spotify streams), “Heartbreak Kid” (1.6 million Spotify streams), and “Beautiful,” a collaboration with SoFaygo that racked up over 3.2 million Spotify streams. With additional appearances from Kalan.FrFr, Hunxho, and 21 Lil Harold, the 17-track Free Me project is available everywhere now.

Home to Singles “Thirsty” and “Shake,” the L’Ville Rap Collective’s Next Album It’s A Lot Goin’ On Arrives on August 19th

Critical Praise:

“The Homies deliver top tier bars showcasing their natural unique talent” – RESPECT Mag

The Announcement:

The music of Louisville collective The Homies thrives on an infectious communal energy, radiating a love of creating art and standing up for their hometown. On August 10th, The Homies (Ace Pro, 2forwOyNE, Shloob & Quiiso) continue an annual tradition, bringing back their Celebrity Kickball Tournament to raise money for two Louisville-based community organizations: Norton’s Children’s Hospital and AMPED. Hosted by Private Garden, the creative collective founded by The Homies and Jack Harlow, the anticipated celebrity kickball tournament (presented by Planet Fitness) returns to Jim Patterson Stadium, the home of Louisville Cardinals baseball, on August 10th, 2022 from 6:00-9:30pm. Buy tickets HERE.

The event will be hosted by Taylor Rooks, and will feature four teams competing for kickball supremacy. The Homies, Jack Harlow, and Cole Bennett highlight the Private Garden team, comprised of Louisville native artists and others. Promising a new frontier for one of the NCAA’s firecest rivalries, the tourney fields the Louisville Legends, team of former Louisville Cardinals (like former NFL WRs Deion Branch and Harry Douglas, former NCAA standout Peyton Siva), also featuring Minnesota Timberwolves star and L’ville native D’Angelo Russell, who will square off against the Kentucky Legends, including former University of Kentucky ballers like Brandon Knight, Willie Cauley-Stein, and more. The prohibitive favorite, however, is likely the Planet Fitness team, comprised of many members of the LouCity FC MLS squad, as well as other Louisvillains like former NFL DE Frostee Rucker and Miss Kentucky Lizzy Neutz. View an expanded roster of participants below, with more names potentially to come.

The Homies Celebrity Kickball Tournament arrives as The Homies prepare for the release of It’s A Lot Going On, their next studio album. The album is home to recent single “Thirsty,” which combines elements of two late ’00s rap cuts–using a sped-up sample of Drake’s “Houstatlantavegas” and vocals of Missy Elliott’s “Ching-A-Ling”–into a cohesive and incredibly catchy whole, and “Shake,” which dropped earlier this summer with a Hype Williams-inspired video. Entirely created by the four Homies themselves, Ace Pro, Shloob, 2forwOyNE, and Quiiso, It’s A Lot Going On drops on August 19th.

It’s Big Moochie Grape’s Money and He Needs It “Right Now”

Press Release

It’s Big Moochie Grape’s Money and He Needs It “Right Now”

Go to Post

8.2.2022

Video: Big Moochie Grape – “Right Now” ft. Kenny Muney

The Paper Route Empire Pair Get Paid By Any Means Necessary in Latest Video from Big Moochie Grape’s East Haiti Baby

The Video:

Big Moochie Grape might have a “gigantic” payroll, but his patience is razor thin. Returning to reclaim his riches alongside fellow Paper Route Empire signee, Kenny Muney, Moochie shares his latest video for “Right Now,” a standout track from his East Haiti Baby project. Backed by a booming instrumental by fellow Memphis native RealRed, the track combines the menacing bounce of Memphis trap with the relentless money-hunger of a J.G. Wentworth advert, with Moochie rapping, “I want the money, lil b****, I can’t wait/Paper Route Hockey Team, b****, we gon’ ice skate.”

Directed by Howard Ross, the video for “Right Now” shows the lengths Moochie and Kenny are willing to go to in their pursuit of these millions. The video opens on a small house whose inhabitants are counting up stacks of money and packing it into shoeboxes, as Moochie, Kenny, and company kick the door with tools in hand, ordering everyone to hit the deck. As Moochie holds down the living room, Kenny has two lingerie-clad ladies escort him to where the jackpot’s stashed. Once the bag is secured, the pair hop into their getaway car with their new lady friends in tow, riding off into the night after their “gigantic” lick.

Aided by signature Tennessee-style production from Bandplay, Sosa 808, Ayoza, and more, East Haiti Baby chronicles Moochie’s rise from the trap to the top, showcasing the street acumen and sly grin that has him rising in his city and beyond. Continuing a dominant year for Paper Route Empire as they honor Dolph’s legacy, Moochie enlists Key Glock and Kenny Muney for features, and shares a new verse from Young Dolph himself on mixtape highlight “Fun.” Whether he’s bouncing over a Bill Withers’ sample on “East Haiti Baby,” belting out cash-crazed melodies on “Money Money Money,” or swapping spitfire flows with Dolph on “Fun,” the Memphis native’s colorful charisma shines throughout the 15-track tape.

With East Haiti Baby, Big Moochie Grape is determined to hit big and keep Paper Route Empire’s winning streak going strong. Stay tuned for more from Moochie and PRE–including Jay Fizzle’s upcoming tape DonnaFizzle– in the coming weeks.

“If this is him on a mixtape, I’m super excited to hear him on an album. I feel like that can be a moment where we get a full length release from him, that people will start to discover him and be like…oh wait he had these two excellent mixtapes a few years ago, that I didn’t even know about. I feel like that might be the thing to do it.” – Lyndsey Havens, Billboard on Sirius XM

“He’s getting the right co-signs….sky’s the limit for the kid.” – Carl LaMarre, Billboard on Sirius XM

“The new face of drill music” – NME

“It’s been a busy, busy year for West London’s Central Cee. The rapper’s Wild West mixtape, released in the first half of the year, sent him jetting into the big time and things haven’t really slowed down since. A newly reopened live circuit welcomed Cench with open arms and he’s still found time for collabs with the likes of Ed Sheeran, Fredo, OhGeesy, Blanco and quite a few more besides.” – Complex

“Gritty street-level drill from magnetic talent” – The Guardian

“It’s clear the 23-year-old rhymer has made a leap as a clever lyricist” – i-D

Central Cee’s announcement of the “Still Loading World Tour” arrives on the heels of “Doja,” the rapper’s viral new smash. The track marked a huge moment, as Central Cee becomes the first ever UK artist to have a video directed by the iconic Cole Bennett, and hosted on Lyrical Lemonade. “Doja” racked up over 25 million streams in the ten days since its release, and over 17 million views on its YouTube video, en route to a #2 debut on the UK’s Official Charts. The song is a worldwide smash, marking his highest charting positions in Australia, Germany, Benelux, and more, and reaching Spotify’s Top 10 Daily Plays in 21 markets. The video is #9 on YouTube Trending in the U.S., and the song is tearing up TikTok, where it has inspired 750k video creations and over 750 million video views.

With an international appeal and high anticipation around his every move, Central Cee is the UK’s hottest and most followed rapper, with a social audience of over 8 million, and an awe-inspiring 2 Billion global artist streams. Transcending the UK rap scene, 65% of Central Cee’s fans are outside of the UK, with him regularly charting across the globe.

Earlier this year, the West London hailing rapper whipped up a frenzy with the release of his critically acclaimed 23 mixtape – a project that debuted at Number 1 in the UK official charts, and followed on from 2021’s Wild West, which was the highest selling British debut project of the year.

Accolades are numerous for this high-flying young artist. Following on from his chart-scaling single and platinum viral hit “Obsessed With You,” Cench released a GRM Daily Duppy, which went on to be the highest charting in history. Earning a stellar position in 2022’s BBC Sound Poll, Central Cee consequently received an astounding three Brit Award nominations – for Best New Artist, Best Song and Best British Hip Hop, Rap, Grime act. Not forgetting his feature on the platinum-certified “Overseas” with D-Block Europe, which was one of 2022’s highest selling UK Rap singles.

A keen fashion head, Cench has previously dropped a limited run of merch in collaboration with UK Streetwear brands Corteiz, and Trapstar, both of which sold out in minutes.

With co-signs from The Guardian, Pitchfork, NME, Clash, Complex, Crack, Lil Baby, Big Sean, Wizkid, Jacquemus, Louis Vuitton, Virgil Abloh and Drake, Central Cee is the biggest name of the moment and impossible to ignore.

The Background:

Central Cee has an undeniable magnetism. On Christmas Day 2021, in the wake of his enormous Pink Pantheress-sampling single “Obsessed With You,” he released a GRM Daily Duppy (a performance on one of the UK’s most popular street rap platforms), which went on to be the highest charting in history. This year, after a stellar position in 2022’s BBC Sound Poll, Central Cee consequently received an astounding three BRIT Award nominations, for Best New Artist, Best Song, and Best British Hip Hop, Rap, Grime act. Late last year, Central Cee won Best Male Artist and Breakthrough Artist of The Year at the GRM Awards, accolades which add to his already incredible position as Spotify’s Radar Artist and YouTube’s Artist On The Rise, not to mention his recent double gong win at the MOBO Awards for Best Newcomer and Best Drill Act. The young superstar is currently gracing the cover of The Face Magazine, where he reveals the motivations that drive his rapid rise to the top.

Astounding fans and critics alike, CC’s independently released debut mixtape Wild West was the highest selling independent project of 2021 and 2021’s only UK debut project to go Gold. The mixtape landed in the wake of the hugely successful singles “Loading” and “Commitment Issues”, breaking internationally and sending his name reverberating across the globe. Cench has a keen eye for fashion–on his debut tape campaign, Cench collaborated with UK Streetwear brands Corteiz, and Trapstar on merch lines, both of which sold out within 60 minutes. The 23 mixtape campaign follows on in this vein, with CC releasing his own 23 merch, creating a fan-art led physical edition of the tape, and collaborating with Trapstar on a merch line once again.

With co-signs from The Guardian, Pitchfork, NME, Clash, The Face, Complex, Crack, the late Virgil Abloh and other global music icons, Central Cee is taking over, and the 23 mixtape’s arrival is certain to propel him even further on his unparalleled journey.

The Video:

With a chip on his shoulder and the Bay on his back, Suigeneris is rap’s youngest veteran. With his seasoned, explosive delivery and tireless drive, the 18-year-old mogul is back again to share his new video for “DOWN.” The yvngxchris-assisted track, which kicked off Suie’s streak of loose singles this summer, features a pitched-up soul instrumental seamlessly weaved into the hard-biting trap aesthetic embodied by the pair of turnt up teens.

The video for “DOWN,” which peaked at #12 on SoundCloud’s New & Hot chart earlier this summer, finds the young rap duo going all out in the studio. Though they’re hard at work behind the mic at times, and raging like there’s no tomorrow at others, it’s often hard to tell the difference as the pair applies an equal share of their high-octane energy to both.

“DOWN” arrives shortly after Suie’s incendiary performance on Apple’s “Fire In The Booth,” hosted by Charlie Sloth. Paying tribute to his heritage with a Mexican flag draped on his head, the West Coast native tears up a gritty East Coast instrumental, eschewing melody and proving his lyrical bonafides. Suie’s “Fire In The Booth” freestyle is available to watch on Apple Music’s YouTube.

Suigeneris has been on a tear recently, stacking his SoundCloud page with heater after heater. Most recently, the artist returned to his high school with the explosive “BACK IN MY CITY,” and deconstructed the structure of a hit with his fierce “Song.” The CEO of his own clothing brand Demons N Angels a.k.a. DNA, a streetwear company with eye-popping design and skyrocketing sales, Suigeneris is always in the studio, cooking up his next batch of heat. Stay tuned for much more from the rap prodigy as the summer moves along.

Please contact Michelle or Myles for more info.

The Background:

Introduced to hip-hop by his brothers, Suigeneris experienced his first taste of success at the young age of 13, when his video “Pull Up” caught fire in the Bay Area to the tune of 1.6 million YouTube views. Since then, Suie’s career trended ever upward. “Pull Up” caught the ear of Landon Cube, who brought Suie on as an opening act for his tour. Through Cube, Suie met Lil Skies, who appreciated Suie’s melodic mastery enough to collaborate with him on “Now” (6.2 million Spotify streams, 3.6 million YT views). His 2019 mixtape Suinami earned more than 15 million streams on Spotify alone, and 20 million across all platforms. Now 16, and with over 415k monthly listeners on Spotify, Suie is preparing to release Demons N Angels, a double EP that comments on his dual nature–Romeo and Damien, singer and rapper.

Rich Amiri Follows Up ‘For The Better’ Project With a Rage-Friendly 2-Pack

Go to Post

7.29.2022

Rich Amiri Releases “ruthless” & “trouble,” Two Brand New Singles

The Boston-Area Rhymer Continues His Rise With a Brash and Smooth New Banger, His First New Song Since His For The Better EP

Critical Praise:

“For someone who has only been rapping for two years, Rich continues to deliver nothing but perfection track after track.” – Lyrical Lemonade

The Songs:

Navigating adventurous instrumentals with suavity and poise, Rich Amiri stands out from the crowd with his rich vocal timbre. Treating his fans to a two-pack of energetic singles, the talented teenager shares “ruthless” and “trouble,” a pair of brand new songs that taste great together. Produced by Synthetic, geogotbands & ssor.t, “ruthless” gets its power from the contrast between its subsonic bass and hyperactive synths, as Amiri cuts through the noise with his velvety triplets. “trouble” raises the energy level even higher–Amiri utters a torrent of breathless bars over an insistent, rage-friendly instrumental from Maajins & Pooka.

“ruthless” and “trouble” continue a busy year for the 18-year-old riser. Last month, the Boston-area native shared For The Better, his debut project. Featuring appearances from SSGKobe, Summrs, and others, the 8-song effort showcased Amiri’s beyond-his-years maturity and sharp songwriting, while Internet Money helped craft a soundscape that suited his inimitable voice.

With the respect of his peers, he’s recently collabed with ragers like iayze and Slump6s, Rich Amiri is on the path to stardom. Stay tuned for much more from the rising rapper in the near future.

DUSTY LOCANE Stays Golden in “ROLLIN N CONTROLLIN Pt. 3 (BEEN ROLLIN)”

Press Release

DUSTY LOCANE Stays Golden in “ROLLIN N CONTROLLIN Pt. 3 (BEEN ROLLIN)”

Go to Post

7.29.2022

Video: DUSTY LOCANE – “ROLLIN N CONTROLLIN Pt. 3 (BEEN ROLLIN)”

The Canarsie Native Continues To Roll and Control in the Latest Sequel to His GOLD-Selling Debut Single; Stay Tuned For DUSTY’s FEVA FINESSA EP, Coming Later This Summer

Critical Praise:

“A rumbling voice that could be picked up on a seismograph” – Pitchfork

“He’s going to be a force to be reckoned with, and he knows it.” – Lyrical Lemonade

“…hard-hitting rhymes that will surely be heard blaring over car stereos in Brooklyn.” – HotNewHipHop

The Video:

A smooth mover whose booming voice resonates with the grit and gravel of the Brooklyn streets, DUSTY LOCANE has staked his claim as the coldest in Canarsie. Determined to expand his dominance beyond the Five Boroughs and onto the global stage, DUSTY returns to reassert his bonafides with “ROLLIN N CONTROLLIN Pt. 3 (BEEN ROLLIN).” The third installment of the hit debut freestyle that catapulted a 21-year-old DUSTY into drill stardom, “ROLLIN N CONTROLLIN Pt. 3” finds a 23-year-old DUSTY reminding listeners who they’re dealing with through a more refined, resonant roar: “I ain’t never d*** ride, switch sides, just for a favor/Try to go against mine, brought six nines, if he tellin’ in the paper.”

The MIDAS-directed video for “ROLLIN N CONTROLLIN Pt.3” finds DUSTY and his blue-clad cohort mobbing out in Washington D.C. Whether he’s flanked by his bandana-waving contingent, standing on his own, or riding around the city in a black Escalade, it’s clear that even in our nation’s Capitol, the only one who represents DUSTY is himself.

Following recent clips like the booming “BIG WOOS” (2 million views), the Yung Bleu-featuring “WHAT YOU NEED” (1.9 million views), and the high-octane “REWIND” (2.2 million views), “ROLLIN N CONTROLLIN Pt. 3” marks DUSTY’s first single since his debut album UNTAMED, which capped off a massive 2021 for the 23-year-old artist. In December, DUSTY joined the exclusive ranks of artists like Olivia Rodrigo, Coi Leray, Pooh Shiesty, and many more, as a member of the #RIAAClassOf2021 after receiving his first GOLD certification this year with his debut single, “ROLLIN N CONTROLLIN FREESTYLE,” which racked up over 200 million combined streams. The EMPIRE artist struck gold again with “Rolando (Caught In The Rain)” (86 million Spotify streams) and “ROLLIN N CONTROLLIN PT. 2 (PICTURE ME),” which generated well over 131k video creations on TikTok.

Stay tuned for more from the Canarsie native, including the upcoming FEVA FINESSA EP, as summer rolls on.

Please contact Michelle or Kevin for more info.

The Background:

“It was all in front of me; I just had to go get it,” DUSTY LOCANE says at the beginning of his viral drill heater, “Rolando (Caught In The Rain).” That’s an understatement: less than a year after he started rapping, the gruff-voiced, baby-faced Brooklyn spitter has experienced one of the most meteoric rises in recent rap history. He’s only released three songs, and he’s already a star: his breakout song “R60LLXN N CONTROLLIN” went viral instantly, and its follow-up “Rolando” garnered 1 million video plays and 1 million streams in its first week. The world is closely watching Dusty, and he’s ready to deliver.

CEO Trayle Processes The Past in ‘Vier’ EP, Recruits Enchanting For New Video

Press Release

CEO Trayle Processes The Past in ‘Vier’ EP, Recruits Enchanting For New Video

Go to Post

7.29.2022

CEO Trayle Commemorates a Traumatic Anniversary with the 4-Track Vier EP

The Rising ATL Rapper Teams with Enchanting for the “Send My B*tch” Video

Arriving Along With a Q&A in The FADER, the New EP Continues Trayle’s Run as One of the Sharpest Street Rappers in the South

Critical Praise:

“The most unnerving villainous laugh you’ll hear this week won’t be in the new Batman movie—it’s in the opening seconds of CEO Trayle’s “Rendezvous.” The way Trayle uses his shapeshifting flow to rattle off threats brings to mind the more sinister side of Chief Keef.” – Pitchfork

“So many rappers stay in one gear for an entire song, but Trayle’s music constantly shifts the rhythm, keeping your ears perked so you don’t get lost as he speeds up. He goes from biting punched-in threats and making singsong taunts to an ominous, slithery flow that leaves you looking behind your shoulder to make sure he isn’t talking about kicking in your backdoor.” – Pitchfork

“The hunger in his rapping turns every song into a boxing ring to prove himself victorious.” – The FADER

“Atlanta’s CEO Trayle is going hard in 2022. The rapper’s earned quite the reputation in the rap game over the past few years. Projects like the Happy Halloween series have cemented him as the one to look out for. “ – HotNewHipHop

“On his recent single, “OK Cool,” Trayle takes a conversational approach, making it clear that—no matter what anyone else in his life is on—he’s still up.” – Audiomack

The EP + Video:

Speaking softly and carrying many sticks, CEO Trayle‘s smooth flows and deliberately-paced delivery force listeners to pay attention to every word. Rewarding listeners for their close attention, the rapper also known as Mr. Back Door shares Vier, a new EP that further establishes him as one of the slickest and most versatile rappers in the ATL scene. The title of the EP translates into the number four in German, a number with mythical and historical significance in Trayle’s life–beyond being the source for his explosive nickname C4. Nine years ago, on July 4th, Trayle suffered seven gunshot wounds as he successfully fought off an attempted home invasion. Trayle survived, but he suffered emotional scars that he still processes every day. The rapper explored his trauma and expressed gratitude for the little things on his recent single “July The Fourth,” the EP’s closing track. Released alongside a Q&A with The FADER, Vier EP is available everywhere via Do What You Love, LLC / 10K Projects.

Though the EP is informed by trauma, it is not all doom and gloom. It kicks off with “DrillC4,” on which Trayle tries his hand on a drill instrumental without losing his signature style. The new EP is home to “Send My B*tch,” a sinuous ride-or-die anthem about a modern day Bonnie & Clyde. On “Send My B*tch,” Trayle goes toe-to-toe with Enchanting, a similarly soft-spoken rapper from The New 1017, bragging about his partner-in-crime’s facility with illicit activities. Enchanting slides through in the song’s second half, proving that she’s one to be feared, perhaps even more than Mr. Back Door himself. In the video, Trayle and Enchanting portray the ultimate stick-up couple, as they execute a honeypot heist and drive off in their Dodge Challenger with a fresh bag.

Vier continues a busy year for the CEO, highlighted by his recent project The Collection. Spanning eight tracks, the project reconciles Trayle’s pugilistic past (represented on songs like “Mr. Door Kicker”) and his luxurious present ( “Buy A Boat,” “Fendi’d Up”). Trayle recently took a trip to New York in the video for “Of Course,” the tape’s closing track.

Freshly signed to 10k Projects, CEO Trayle is following in the footsteps of his hero Gucci Mane, crafting street raps that are at once down-and-dirty and refined. The 27-year-old artist always stays true to his muse regardless of what’s fashionable, creating music that went against the grain in his home city of Atlanta during the heyday of triplet-driven melodic trap. His music found an audience in Chicago, still home to his largest base of listeners, and among publications like Pitchfork, Audiomack, and many more, for his gritty bars and sinister steez. Trayle’s trajectory skyrocketed after he released “Ok Cool,” a viral hit that generated over 60 million streams and earned a remix from Gunna. “Ok Cool” landed on Happy Halloween C4, a 16-track opus with appearances from Babyface Ray and Doe Boy.

With much more music on the way and much further to rise, CEO Trayle is primed to take over the rap game.

CEO Trayle has a rare sense of vision. The prolific Atlanta-based rapper and CEO/founder of 1080 Trademark Recordssees the music industry the way a great point guard does a basketball court. He understands cause-and-effect, knowing how dropping one frosty, minimalist single will shape the perception around his next project. But occasionally he exceeds even his own expectations. His breakout single, “OK Cool,” a deadpan rebuke to an ex, earned more than 60 million streams, even though Trayle didn’t foresee it as a blockbuster when he made it. The momentum from that track, and its Gunna-assisted remix, paved the way for The Collection, a thrilling, visceral release that showcases the 28-year-old MC’s multi-genre fluency.

Audio/Video: Rot Ken – “Rollin” (Prod. by JetsonMade)

The Rapid Internet Money/Spaceboy Productions Riser Follows Up His Free Me Project With a Video Single That Celebrates His Future as a Free Man

Critical Praise:

The Song + Video:

Blessed with a natural sense of freewheeling melody, Georgia rapper Rot Ken is a leader in his state’s new wave. Celebrating his recent release from jail in his own signature style, Ken shares “Rollin,” a new video single. Produced by JetsonMade, the new song combines angelic synth arpeggios and dramatic piano with Jetson’s trademark trampoline 808s, providing a platform for Ken to pontificate about his environment and air his grievances: “I was locked up in a cell sitting on a double bed/Heard you told ’em ’bout some things, yeah, I heard what you said.” The emotional video blends clips of Rot Ken’s release–he embraces his family, gets a fresh line-up on his hair–with shots of the 18-year-old artist riding in a luxury van to the studio, where he immediately gets to work. “Rollin” is now available on all platforms.

LIL ZAY OSAMA TEAMS UP WITH LIL DURK FOR GRITTY NEW SINGLE “FUCK MY COUSIN PT. II”

LISTEN HERE – WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

NEW PROJECT TRENCH BABY 3 IS DUE AUGUST 12th

Critical Praise:

Rising Chicago Rappers You Need to Know – Complex

Song You Need to Know: Lil Zay Osama, ‘Changed Up’ – Rolling Stone

His ragged debut ‘Hood Bible’ became an Auto-Tuned manifesto for the streets and proved what Lil Zay could accomplish in quieter moments, with reflective music that felt more sorrowful about the past than anchored by tall tales. – Pitchfork

Looking at Osama’s career so far, you’ll see that forging his own path has made him into one of Chicago’s most well-known burgeoning rap stars. For nearly the last three years, Osama’s pensive street music has become the soundtrack to the city’s newest trap movement. – DJ Booth

The Video:

July 29, 2022 (Los Angeles, CA) – Today, Chicago’s Lil Zay Osama releases “Fuck My Cousin Pt. II,” a vengeance-packed drill single featuring mentor and friend Lil Durk. Listen HERE via Warner Records. The track is accompanied by an equally intense video — which showcases the collaborators’ Chicago roots and unstoppable growth — and the release date for Trench Baby 3, a new project set to be shared on August 12th. Watch the video HERE.

“Fuck My Cousin Pt. II” is a no-holds-barred missive by Lil Zay to rivals powered by dark keys while Lil Durk picks up the theme and spits a standout verse. Aligned in spirit, intent, and city, Lil Zay Osama and Durk emit the ethos of their hometown, flaunting natural chemistry that can only come from the genuine brotherhood. It may be their first collaboration since 2019, but their connection is stronger than ever.

Fittingly, the video shows the duo in action, thick as thieves and flanked by their crew during a hot day and night in Chicago. “Fuck My Cousin Pt. II” is the latest manifestation of drill music, Lil Zay Osama’s brand of heart-wrenching trench tales that evoke memories of block wars and lost loved ones. It’s a portrait of resolve in the inner city and also a sign of Durk’s continued support of one of the area’s most powerful voices. The track was preceded by “Real Pain,” a cathartic anthem laced with all the reflection that’s helped Lil Zay Osama connect with listeners all over.

Fans will get another dose of Lil Zay Osama’s realness with Trench Baby 3, packed with trauma and triumph that only reaffirms his status as one of Chicago’s best. With over 300 million streams under his belt and coverage from the likes of XXL, Pitchfork, The FADER, Complex, Chicago Reader, Lyrical Lemonade and more, it’s clear that Lil Zay Osama makes music that resonates. “Fuck My Cousin Pt. II,” and Trench Baby 3 are just the latest evidence of that fact.

The Background:

Lil Zay Osama makes “pain music.” That’s what the South Side native calls his combination of raw, gripping lyrics and a passionate delivery. One of Chicago’s most captivating young voices, the 23-year-old pens heart-wrenching street narratives riddled with eulogies for tragically lost family and friends. With booming drums and poignant melodies, somber trap production scores Zay’s tear-stained memoirs, auto-tune accentuating the hurt embedded in every syllable. It’s a sound that’s resonated far and wide, yet these songs talk directly to those born in the trenches. Since he arrived in 2019, Zay has continued to touch fans. His music encapsulates his greatest strengths and the emotional impact of his heaviest songs conveying the callousness of Chicago street life. A departure from the more celebratory Hood Bible (2019), which Zay recorded while glowing from signing to Warner Records, his latest duology Trench Baby and the recent Trench Baby 2 distill decades of unsettling truths and hard-earned wisdom.Trench Baby 2 as well as the follow-up deluxe edition, which included an array of street hits from “Rumors,” “Ride for Me” (with Jackboy)” to fan-anthems “61st to 64th,” and “We’ll Be Straight.” A gifted storyteller and melodic virtuoso, Zay is able to maneuver between different moods from drill to trap ballads, earning him the praise of XXL, Pitchfork, HipHopDX, Complex and more.

My Favorite Color Gets His Cusack On in “Cut Me In”

Press Release

My Favorite Color Gets His Cusack On in “Cut Me In”

Go to Post

7.28.2022

Video: My Favorite Color – “Cut Me In“

The Mischievous L.A.-via-Pittsburgh Artist Grows Tired of Artificial Relationships in His Latest Music Video

Critical Praise:

“Best New Artist for September 2021: It’s clear My Favorite Color is okay not taking himself too seriously and letting the music speak for itself.” – Pigeons & Planes

“The Pittsburgh MC once again flashes signs of brilliance on his new song ‘Old News.’ His zany personality and frenetic flow are the main drivers of his fun-filled anthem.” – Billboard

“He truly brings you on a sonic journey that contains so many different styles, sounds, and narratives, you have no choice but to pay attention.” – Lyrical Lemonade

“His music is powerful. Each bar drips with the confusion and existential dread of a man who feels out of place in his world.” – Noisey

The Video:

A rising artistic force who changes flows like he changes clothes, My Favorite Color came to play, not get played. Today, MFC shares his new video for “Cut Me In,” a track which finds the artist born Anthony Willis informing his underhanded inamorata that it’s time to fish or cut bait, as he glides along the grooves of an atmospheric instrumental with his muttering melodies: “Let me in, let me in/Why you always gotta leave me out?/Say we friends, we just friends/Why you treat me like I’m something else?”

The video for “Cut Me In” opens with MFC’s arrival at a tired, old house. As he makes his way up the leaf-covered path to the house, he pulls out a boombox like John Cusack in Say Anything and attracts the attention of its plastic inhabitant. His mannequin mistress seems to welcome him into the house’s interior which radiates an unfamiliar nostalgia. Though they lay in bed together and share their space, MFC’s venting of grievances makes it clear that his relationship is no less plastic than his counterpart. With the frustration and fatigue of his courtship mounting, MFC finds a sense of release as he howls at the moon in yearning.

Following the release of his deeply personal debut album Velma in 2020, My Favorite Color used 2021 to show off his technical rhyming chops, keen sense of visuals, and absurdist sense of humor. In “Old News,” a bouncily colorful single praised by Billboard (a “flash of brilliance”) and Lyrical Lemonade, MFC worked a fast-moving flow, delivering punchlines at a rapidfire rate. The song was accompanied by a virtuosic music video, in which the artist portrayed multiple characters a la Eddie Murphy, ranging from a kidnap victim, to a possibly untrained pilot, to a truth-telling stand-up comedian. The artist followed “Old News” with “Mayday,” a jazzy and off-kilter banger, a lyrical showcase that veers to every corner of the rapper’s mind, mixing party-positive flexes with tongue-twisting geopolitical analysis. “Mayday” and “Old News” displayed the prodigious artistic gifts that inspired Pigeons & Planes to name him a Best New Artist in September 2021.

My Favorite Color is currently hard at work on his next project, a wide-ranging effort that properly continues the story he started with Velma. Stay tuned for much more music and eye-popping videos from My Favorite Color in the coming weeks and months on the road to the new album.

Rolling Loud Miami 2022: Saturday Recap

The Festival’s Second Day Raised the Bar Even Higher with Stunning Performances and Surprises

(Photo credit: Rolling Loud / @baeth)

THE RECAP:

With a record-setting five stages occupied by the hottest talent from all corners of the rap universe, day two of Rolling Loud Miami saw the dirty south steal the show with trap legends like Gucci Mane, Kevin Gates, Soulja Boy, and City Girls. Fellow Floridian Saucy Santana had one of the biggest day-time crowds jumping as he tossed a signed Prada jacket to fans along the barricade.

Headliner Future stole the show by bringing the trap to Hard Rock Stadium, alongside special guest Travis Scott. Earlier in the night, Rolling Loud mainstay Lil Uzi Vert lit up the main stage, while wearing their newly announced pronouns “They/Them” across their chest.

With a lineup this saturated with stars, fans never had to look far for one to wish upon, and two young fans got to see theirs come true. Thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the pair of teens got the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to grace the stage of the world’s largest hip-hop festival alongside their favorite rapper, Ski Mask the Slump God on his home stage, with co-founders Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif.
