Video: Big Jade – “Bonnet” (Freestyle) (Prod. by BeatKing)

Ahead Of Her Alamo Records-Debut Album, The Buzzing, Beaumont, Texas MC Shares A Charged Up And Confident New Freestyle.

Critical Praise:

“Beaumont, Texas loudmouth Big Jade has the best music videos. They’re a much needed break from the endless stream of fifteen dudes stuffed into an Airbnb, pointing guns at the shaky cameraman, and doing donuts in rented cars outside.” – Pitchfork 

“This unrivaled skill, confidence, and charisma are the attributes that make Big Jade so interesting.” – Lyrical Lemonade

The Video:

With a commanding mic presence and a take-no-prisoners attitude, Big Jade is one of the most vital voices in a bustling Texas rap scene. Today, she’s back with a brand new freestyle, titled “Bonnet.” While coming in at just under a minute and fifteen seconds, Jade is able to pack a heavy punch with her swift bars and lyrical flow. Sampling the Missy Elliott classic, “Hot Boyz,” BeatKing comes through with a perfect canvas for Jade to talk her sh*t. In the self-directed video, we find Jade at home, cooking breakfast and getting her daughter ready for school. Its moments like these where Jade is at her realest and rawest, finding no reason to sugarcoat anything as she aims to snatch the Texas rap crown.

This is Jade’s latest release ahead of Pressure, her upcoming debut project, slated to release in Spring 2021. Featuring production from the likes of BeatKing–Jade’s rap game mentor, who discovered her through her freestyle videos on YouTube–DJ Chose, and Bankroll Got It, Pressure provides a fresh spin on the traditional sounds of Texas rap, packing enough oomph in the low-end to satisfy Houston club-goers. Jade rhymes from her unique perspective, as a bisexual single mother and part-time hairdresser determined to ascend to the top of the game with her pure, athletic rapping. Home to recent singles like “No Hook” and the DJ Chose-produced “Gucci Bag” and following in the wake of a series of verbally dexterous freestyle videos (including “Groupies“), Pressure releases next month via Alamo Records.

Born and raised in Beaumont, a small city in East Texas far removed from industry hubs like Houston and New Orleans, Big Jade built an online following with her unapologetic realness. In popular videos like “RPM” and “Phone Jumpin,” praised by Pitchfork, Jade exists in her element, showing off her rapping ability while styling hair, her longtime day job. Her brief, but visceral trap bangers caught the attention of BeatKing, who took her under his wing and offered her guest verses and some of his fieriest beats. In late 2020, Jade joined up with her mentor BeatKing for the Texas trap slapper “Respectfully,” also featuring an appearance from Queendome Come. Jade keeps her fans entertained with a regular supply of freestyles, like the recent “Before The Deal,” that show off her bars and indefatigable demeanor. Now with the backing of Alamo Records, Big Jade is ready to make the leap from being the pride of her town to a nationally recognized star.

Please contact Michelle or Kevin for more info.

The Background:

“I got the attention of the right people by being genuinely myself,” explains rapper Big Jade.

From Beaumont, Texas, the 26-year-old spitter made a name for herself by releasing a series of videos online that showcased her rapping ability. However, her Beatking-produced “RPM” showed a woman juggling rap dreams while doing hair. She was unashamed, unapologetic, and uncut. “It was real. That’s how I grind and get money,” admits Jade. “I’m not out here getting rap money yet; I’m popular on Instagram. Rappers are scared to say they’re doing something else just to make it. Where are you getting the money to invest in yourself and make it happen? Because that’s where it all starts for all of us.” Newly signed to Alamo Records, Big Jade took those steps to get noticed, and now she hopes to put herself and her city on the map.

Video: Key Glock – “Move Around”

The Memphis Rapper’s Flossy New Video Comes from Dum & Dummer 2, His Billboard Top 10-Charting Collab Album With Paper Route EMPIRE CEO Young Dolph

The Video:

With three Billboard Top 20 albums in the books before his 24th birthday, Key Glock is the type of guy who gets things done. Touting his myriad accomplishments on a chilly Memphis evening, Glock shares his latest video “Move Around.” Casually annihilating a minimalist instrumental, Glock methodically proves that he was born different, with the mentality and personality to conquer the rap game: “Diamonds hittin’, diamonds dancin’ like James Brown/Yeah, I’m young and rich, and I’m Black and I’m proud,” spits Glock. In the video, Glock shows off his ice as he delivers his rhymes in front of his signature Bart Simpson-yellow Lambo truck. “Move Around” is a highlight track from Dum & Dummer 2, the acclaimed and successful collaborative album from Key Glock and his Paper Route EMPIRE boss and frequent sparring partner Young Dolph.

Debuting at #8 on the Billboard 200, Dum & Dummer 2 generated nearly 36k sales equivalent units across platforms and scored the fifth-biggest streaming debut on Spotify during its first week of release. Earlier this month, the album received a glowing review from Pitchfork, who awarded the album a 7.5 score and cemented Young Dolph & Key Glock as a “once-in-a-generation” rap duo, akin to 8Ball & MJG or Method Man & Redman, and “one of the most in-sync alliances in the genre today.” Dum & Dummer 2 is the duo’s second Top 10 album, following the original Dum and Dummer, which debuted at #8 in 2019, and Dolph’s third Top 10, following August’s #4-peaking Rich Slave. 

Dum and Dummer 2 finds Dolph & Glock operating at a high level of craftsmanship, charisma, and luxury. With artwork that references MTV’s most famous duo, Beavis & Butthead, Dum & Dummer 2 establishes the two rappers (and cousins) as two halves of the same brain, each seamlessly picking up threads and finishing lines that the other leaves off. With production from PRE’s own Bandplay, among others, Dum & Dummer 2 is home to a series of standout singles, including the hauntingly flex-heavy“Case Closed,” the soulful winter-weather celebration “Aspen,” the classily ratchet “Sleep With The Roaches,“ the ice cold opening track “Penguins,” and “RAIN RAIN,” which racked up over 2.2 million views on YouTube in just one week.

Dum & Dummer 2 is available everywhere via Paper Route EMPIRE.

In March, Dolph announced the #DumAndDummer2AlbumChallenge on his Instagram. The rapper announced that he would give away $25,000 each week for the next four weeks to the winners (one winner per week). The goal of the challenge will change each week–keep an eye on @YoungDolph for the latest updates.

Video: YN Jay – “Yeessiirrrr”

Flint, MI’s one and only “Coochie Man” returns with a brand new single, following in the footsteps of viral sensations such as “Kakashi” and “Triple S”

Critical Praise:

“There is Bruce Wayne and Batman. Clark Kent and Superman. And now, YN Jay and the Coochie Man” – Pitchfork

“Flint, Michigan wouldn’t be one of the hottest scenes in rap without ‘Coochie,’ ‘Coochie World,’ ‘Coochie Scout,’ a mixtape titled Coochie Land, and Coochie Man, the floor-humping alter ego of YN Jay.” – Pitchfork

“‘Coochie’ is one of the funniest hip-hop videos of the last five years” – XXL

“The Flint native is one of the more eccentric rappers in Michigan, rapping about coochie, using very distinct ‘hold onnnnnnnnnnnnn’ ad-ibs, and starting off songs by asking the producer: ‘Why you always do that mannnnnnnn?’ I’m honestly not sure what these producers are doing while YN Jay is recording in the booth, but whatever it is, it’s working. The music is always wildly entertaining.” – Complex

“He raps in different voices, draws out words like they’re self-contained riddles. You never know if he’s entirely serious, but that’s the point.” – SPIN

The Video:

Charisma and originality seems to be the name of the game these days, and nobody checks both of those boxes quite like Michigan rapper YN Jay, aka the “Coochie Man.” With an effortless ability to craft viral songs, today he returns with his latest video-single, titled “Yeessiirrrr.” On this new cut, Jay delivers an energetic flow, flexing more of his off-kilter bars and standout ad-libs that have earned him an impressive following in the midwest and beyond. The video, directed by NTRO4K Films, features Jay and his squad posted up in front of a beamer, all while he smiles ear-to-ear showing off his villainous, yet at the same time endearing, grin.

Prior to “Yeessiirrrr,” YN Jay shared a video for “Kakashi,” a standout track off Ninja Warrior, the Flint native’s most recent project. Earning coverage from Pitchfork, Entertainment Weekly, Mic, and many others, Ninja Warrior showcases the viral sensation’s superior beat-riding ability and boundary-pushing bars. Featuring collaborations with Lil Yachty, Sada Baby, Louie Ray, and Rmc Mike, Ninja Warrior is out now

YN Jay is currently trending on TikTok with “Kakashi” and his recent single “Triple S,” a collaboration with Jay’s frequent collaborator and fellow Flint native Louie Ray. The latest in a long line of viral TikTok hits, “Triple S” has inspired over 450k video views on multiple sounds–one that taps into Jay’s unique mic presence and expressive ad-libs, and another that highlights his witty lyricism–has earned over 8 million Spotify streams, and made its way onto Spotify’s U.S. Viral 50 chart.

Inspired to take rap seriously when his older brother died, the 22-year-old YN Jay quickly started to build a reputation as one of the most colorful characters in a hometown Flint scene populated almost exclusively by colorful characters. He started to get mainstream notice with his single “Coochie,” from his project Coochie Land, which introduced the world to Jay’s one-track mind and eventually racked up over 26 million YouTube views. Jay is a nearly mythic figure on TikTok, generating millions of video creations on viral hits like “Triple S,” “Coochie,” “Coochie Land,” and “Coochie Scout,” and inspiring TikTok comedian @Nuhchez to splice YN Jay’s voice into Coolio’s “Gangsta’s Paradise” and create one of the platform’s most successful running jokes. In recent months, YN Jay earned co-signs from Drake and Lil Uzi Vert, and performed in a prominent time slot during Rolling Loud‘s latest “Loud Stream” virtual festival.

Stay tuned for much more from the prolific YN Jay in the coming days and weeks.

The Background:

“It’s scary how easy it is for me to make music,” admits 21-year-old rapper YN Jay. This is true of his 2020 hit “Coochie” and the follow-up album Coochie Land. “It was made in three minutes, easily, and the video did 30 million views. I’ve been writing songs to go a certain way my whole life, but it never worked. Now, I’m not overthinking it, and it’s making me a star.” After over a decade at the mic, the Beecher, Michigan native has given rap fans an alternative to music about violence and drugs.

Amid his rise, Jay got cosigns from Drake and Lil Uzi Vert. While Drizzy and Jay are exploring music, he recorded extensively with Uzi. The same night the two discussed collaborating, Jay stopped everything to drive to Philly. “I pulled up; we did damn near eight songs.” One track, the “coochie”-inspired “HOLD ONNNNN,” promises to release during an exciting 2021. Fresh off of Ninja Warrior—an album featuring Lil Yachty and Sada Baby that he conceptualized and recorded in a single day, YN Jay recently signed a deal with Alamo Records and is focused on showcasing his versatility and staying power. “I’m working on a few albums and letting the world know how big this is. Anybody can be a rapper; I’m trying to catch the culture and update the game.”

Audio: Yung Beef – “Problemas Musicales” ft. Uzii Gaang

Produced by DP Beats (Playboi Carti, Chief Keef), “Problemas Musicales” is the Latest Single From the Granada Native’s El Plugg 2 Mixtape, Coming April 16th via EMPIRE

Critical Praise:

“Beef’s geographically diverse sound is unapologetic, with piercing, incisive lyrics over trap beats fused with reggaetón, salsa and more besides, and characterised by its shout-outs to various fashion brands. That all makes sense, as Beef has become a poster boy for labels like Calvin Klein and Givenchy.” – Dazed

“His swaggering aesthetic would come across as crass was it not for the quality of the music – a powerful crossroads that sees the sweaty sounds of Caribbean dembow and reggaeton collide with contemporary hip-hop.” – Highsnobiety

“Yung Beef is without a doubt one of the hottest artists coming up from overseas right now. The young Spanish rapper has been creating a buzz in Spain for a while, and is now starting to catch looks over here in America.” – Lyrical Lemonade

“One of the 25 artists shaping the future of music…A flagbearer for the new Spanish sound…Pulling his biggest tunes off YouTube, deleting releases and dropping projects by surprise have all fed into the cult status around him, while the music sounds equally unpolished, unpredictable and sporadic.” – Crack

The Song:

Garnering 70M+ total streams worldwide on four projects in 2020, Yung Beef has become one of Spain’s biggest rappers without ever pandering to the mainstream. Coming through with a room-enveloping trap banger, Yung Beef shares “Problemas Musicales,” his latest single. Produced by SoundCloud sound architect DP Beats, known for producing wavy bangers for artists like Lil Uzi Vert and Chief Keef, “Problemas Musicales” is an immersive bit of cloud trap, as Yung Beef and his La Venedicion artist Uzii Gaang toe tag seismic blasts of 808s with effortlessly fly flows. Together, the two rappers demonstrate why they’re a problem whenever they connect on a track, projecting a DGAF attitude that transcends language barriers. “Problemas Musicales” is the second standout track from Yung Beef to emerge in recent weeks, following the reggaeton-influenced, Dragonball Z-referencing single and video “Majin Vegeta,” which reached over one million views on YouTube in less than a week.

“Problemas Musicales” and “Majin Vegeta” are both singles from El Plugg 2, the Granada-born artist’s upcoming project. The sequel to Yung Beef’s 2018 El Plugg Mixtape, which featured production from Mexiko Dro, El Plugg 2 was widely acclaimed for its combination of sounds, mixing elements of Punk and alt-rock with trap music, earning over 21 million streams worldwide. Spanning 24-tracks and featuring frequent production partners like PipoBeats and Kid Favela, El Plugg 2 is a testament to Yung Beef’s restless creativity, painting the fullest picture yet of his wide-ranging artistic tastes and talents. The upcoming project features contributions from Goa, who connected with Beef for “Guns N Roses” on the original El Plugg, and most notably Pablo Chill-E, a frequent collaborator of Yung Beef and one of the hottest rappers in South America.  El Plugg 2 arrives on April 16th via La Venedicion / EMPIRE and is currently available for pre-order.

Filtering genres such as trap and reggaeton through his rebellious perspective, Yung Beef is turning heads in Spain and beyond for his intoxicating blend of sounds. The prolific artist releases four projects in 2020, includingShishi Plugg, a collaborative project with Pablo Chill-E that featured the single “No Nos Pueden Suportar“ (the first song by a Spanish rapper to gain more than 1 million views on the WorldStarHipHop YouTube channel), and Sonrisas, which  featured production from Brodinski and a guest spot from 645AR. The Spanish icon had a busy live schedule planned for 2020, before the pandemic hit, including a duo spot at Lollapalooza Chile with Pablo Chill-E, and his own curated stage at Primavera Sound in Barcelona. Expect Yung Beef to pick up where he left off with these festivals in 2022.

With El Plugg 2, Yung Beef plans to emulate his idol Young Dolph and make waves in the American rap scene as an independent artist. Don’t bet against him.

Mo3’s Team Shares Shotta 4 Eva, the First Posthumous Album from the Dallas Rapper

Shottaz 4 Eva Is Available Everywhere via H$M Music / EMPIRE

Featuring Appearances From Kevin Gates, Boosie Badazz, YFN Lucci, Foogiano, and More, the New Album is a Testament to Mo3’s Immense Talent and Continuing Legacy

The Album:

Combining soulful singing with rapidfire rhymes, Mo3 was a singular talent and a towering figure in the Dallas rap scene. Today, H$M Music and EMPIRE share Shottaz 4Eva, the first album released since Mo’s untimely passing in November 2020. The new album is the fourth in Mo’s Shottaz series of projects, a series which helped him establish himself as a vital street rap voice in Texas and beyond.

Spanning 12 tracks, the new album is a showcase for the late artist’s songcraft, offering motivational anthems like the Splurge-produced “Out The Gym,“ tough-talking street singles like “Mob” ft. Foogiano, and heartfelt examinations of life on the street like recent single “Outside” ft. OG Bobby Billions, currently listed in the Top 20 of Audiomack’s Top Songs chart. Shottaz 4Eva features appearances from some of street rap’s most respected voices, including Mo’s frequent collaborator Boosie Badazz, Kevin Gates, and YFN Lucci.

Shottaz 4Eva is the sequel Mo’s breakout 2018 tape Shottaz 3.0, home to his signature hit “Everybody,” which has over 100 million streams across platforms. The album continues Mo’s strong run of storytelling and emotional honesty that he displayed in last year’s Badazz Mo3, a full length collaboration with Boosie, and 2019’s Osama. With production from Splurge, Rob Stoval, Finesse Tha God, and more, Shottaz 4Eva is available everywhere via  H$M Music/EMPIRE.

Though Mo3 is no longer with us, his legacy lives on in everybody who’s been moved by his music. The late artist’s family and team will continue to release music that he was able to record before his untimely passing. For now, honor the legacy of Mo3 by streaming Shottaz 4Eva–instead of dwelling on his loss, appreciate all he was able to give during his too brief lifetime.

Video: Yung Mal – “Belaire”

The Alamo Records Signee and His 1.5 Crew Prepare Their Takeover in a ATL-Set Video

Critical Praise:

“After his rise to prominence through the duo Mal & Quill through the late 2010s, East Atlanta rapper Yung Mal has ventured off for some strong solo offerings, first with last year’s Iceburg and now with his latest 6 RINGS, a quick-hitting 12-track project full of rapid fire flows and strong instrumentals from producer Pyrex.” – HYPEBEAST

“Drenched in authenticity, New Orleans-born, Atlanta-bred rapper Yung Mal is looking like the next to blow out of the south.” – XXL

“The young ATL rapper has been making strides in his city as the next-up.” — HotNewHipHop

“Yung Mal is on a fast ascension through the industry.” — ELEVATOR

“One of the most promising rising artists…Mal consistently brings interesting and unique flows onto stellar production.” — Lyrical Lemonade

“Yung Mal has been the talk of the town in Atlanta” — Karen Civil

The Video:

Rising from the streets of Zone 6 to the top of the ATL trap scene, Yung Mal has plenty to celebrate. Popping bottles of his favorite champagne, the Alamo Records signee shares “Belaire,” his latest video single. Switching up his vocal approach for the new song, “Belaire” finds Mal experimenting with auto-tune, giving his rhythmic patter a melodic edge as he promises to go hard every day for his: “Got rich, but the hood, I’m still there.” In the video, Mal pops a bottle of the titular champagne at an Atlanta apartment complex, mobbing with his 1.5 Da Label crew before migrating to a soundstage where he channels Diddy and employs a butler dedicated to holding his umbrella. “Belaire” is Mal’s third standout visual to hit in the past few weeks, following the flex-heavy  “Look At Me Now” and “Stay Down,” which features a cameo appearance from NLE Choppa.

Yung Mal is in the midst of following up a big 2020, featuring two high-octane collaborative projects with rising producers. Released in March, 6 Rings paired Mal with Pyrex Whippa. Sporting appearances from Lil Keed, Lil Gotit, and Doe Boy, 6 Rings received praise from publications like HYPEBEAST and XXL. Later in the year, Mal released Iceberg Sosa, produced in full by Memphis producer Sosa808 (Key Glock, G Herbo), which featured highlight video singles like “Hitstick” and “Own Drip.” Ready to capitalize on his , Yung Mal looks to assume his rightful place among Atlanta’s trap elite.

Stay tuned for 1.5 Way or No Way, Mal’s next project, coming in Spring 2021.

TikTok Treats, Week of April 5th

Soulja Boy Takes Over TikTok, Charli XCX and Tinashe “Unlock It,” and Natasha Bedingfield Loves Flash Mobs

The News:

TikTok has solidified itself as a platform that can turn songs, both new and old, into bona fide hits. Whether it’s TikTok creators showing love to artists or vice versa, the platform has fostered a space for artists to witness the TikTok community embrace and propel their music to new heights right before their eyes. Check out some sounds that have seen major success on TikTok and beyond this week below.

• Kicking off today, and continuing over the next several weeks, TikTok is launching six new music-powered video filters for the ever-creative TikTok community to use on the app. The various filters will directly synchronize with music and sounds being used in real time and will be in the Effects Tray on the shooting page with its own dedicated “Music” effects tab. The first of these new filters is the Music Visualizer, which runs real-time beat tracking to animate a retro greenscreen landscape that will move to the beat of any sound in the app’s sounds library. AREA21 has created the first video with the Music Visualizer filter while teasing their latest track “La La La.”

• One of rap’s first viral stars, Soulja Boy is having a major moment on TikTok with his tracks “She Make It Clap” (1.0M+ creations) and fan-uploaded “Yahhh!” (370.7K+ creations) taking over the platform. The whistle-filled, 808-heavy “She Make It Clap” has inspired a chill dance, while the high-energy “Yahhh!” has inspired a lively dance that many TikTok users have enjoyed turning up to. No stranger to popular dance trends, Soulja Boy took to his own page to put his own spin on the “She Make It Clap” dance. With rapper Amine, cute cats, best friends, and baseball dads emphatically joining in on the dance trends, the momentum of the songs is unlikely to slow down anytime soon.

• With a mashup of two of their biggest songs leading the way, pop stars Charli XCX and Tinashe have recently been making waves on TikTok. Over the past few weeks, the fan-created “Unlock It (Ctrl Superlove),” a mashup remix of Charli XCX’s electric “Unlock it” and Tinashe’s 2016 tune “Superlove,” has garnered over 2.9M+ video creations. From Khalid dancing with his friend in the sun to uncles practicing the dance with babies, the sound has seen many fun, hip-popping creations throughout the TikTok community. Charli XCX and Tinashe have both shown the mashup tons of love and even joked about how they both claim this new remix as their own.

• Grammy-nominated British singer Natasha Bedingfield recently received the viral dance remix treatment courtesy of @escoupp. His high-octane, ad-libbed rendition of “Unwritten” has been used over 495k times in flash mob-style dances. The challenge has made its way to dancers around the world, Quen Blackwell (who called it the “BEST REMIX OF ALL TIME”), and even your local Target. Natasha herself showed her appreciation for the track, dueting some of the standout videos on her own page. With the sound quite literally taking over the streets, we’re going to be hearing it for a while.

• Frankie Jonas and countless others have been using the catchy Caterina Valente track “Bongo Cha-Cha-Cha” to illustrate how things in life don’t often go as planned. This new version of “expectation vs reality” has also been joined by a side-trend of people using the sound to show off their childhood stuffed animals. Both trends are paired with a hip-swaying dance and have helped the official sound reach over 519k video creations.

• One of TikTok’s biggest success stories just went #1 on Billboard…again. Lil Nas X‘s new track “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name)” has taken the world by storm and it all started on TikTok. The “Old Town Road” artist has been teasing the track on the app for months, beginning with a hilarious Grammys flex and continuing nonstop until its release on March 26th. Since then, users have made over 238k creations with the official sound, along with countless videos to the fan-uploaded audio. Lil Nas X has taken notice as well, reposting some of the highlights. He’s continued to make his own videos with the track, including this viral duet with Miley Cyrus poking some fun at Hannah Montana.

Last week, TikTok premiered its first ever Headstream, a new LIVE series that invites artists to introduce their new music, interact with fans, and, ironically, self-reflect with their toughest interviewer yet—themselves. The series kicked off with Demi Lovato discussing her new album Dancing With The Devil…The Art Of Starting Over. This week Headstream is back with Lil Tjay, who is promoting the release of his newest album Destined 2 Win which dropped on April 2nd. Tune in on Friday April 9th at 4pm PT/ 7pm ET to see the epic new interview.

Young Dolph & Key Glock’s Dum & Dummer 2 Album Debuts at #8 on the Billboard 200

The Paper Route EMPIRE Duo Share the Young Dolph-Directed Video for Album Highlight “RAIN RAIN”

Dum & Dummer 2 is the Second Collab Album From the Rappers Pitchfork Called a “Once in a Generation Rap Duo”

The Video:

“When you doin’ big sh*t, hell yeah, they supposed to hate” – Young Dolph.

Crashing charts and cashing checks, Young Dolph and Key Glock are indie rap superstars. Today, Dolph and Glock announce that their new album Dum and Dummer 2 debuted at #8 on the Billboard 200 this week. The new collaborative album generated nearly 36k sales equivalent units across platforms and scored the fifth-biggest streaming debut on Spotify during its first weekend of release. Dum & Dummer 2 is the duo’s second Top 10 album, following the original Dum and Dummer, which debuted at #8 in 2019, and Dolph’s third Top 10, following August’s #4-peaking Rich Slave. 

To celebrate the success of their new album, Dolph and Glock share “RAIN RAIN,” their new music video for a highlight track from the project. Produced by PRE sound architect Bandplay, who provides vibey acoustic guitars that add to the song’s rainy day atmosphere, “RAIN RAIN” is a missive directed towards the haters, as Dolph and Glock trade tough-talking witticisms: “My time cost money, got a price tag on it,” asserts Dolph. Directed by Dolph himself, the video illustrates how the two rappers spend their ideal rainy days–the older Young Dolph kicks back in his mansion–complete with a bowling alley and a grand piano–as he thumbs through a glossy coffee table book. Meanwhile, the young-and-hungry Key Glock goes hard in a neon-lit club, rocking his Cartier glasses in the company of several beautiful women.

Dum and Dummer 2 finds Dolph & Glock operating at a high level of craftsmanship, charisma, and luxury. With artwork that references MTV’s most famous duo, Beavis & Butthead, Dum & Dummer 2 establishes the two rappers (and cousins) as two halves of the same brain, each seamlessly picking up threads and finishing lines that the other leaves off. Last week, the album received a glowing review from Pitchfork, who awarded the album a 7.5 score and cemented Young Dolph & Key Glock as a “once-in-a-generation” rap duo, akin to 8Ball & MJG or Method Man & Redman, and “one of the most in-sync alliances in the genre today.”

The album spans 20-tracks, boasting production from PRE’s own Bandplay, who shows off his musicality and versatility, along with beats from Memphis native Sosa808 and decorated producer Ramy On The Beat. Dum & Dummer 2 is home to a series of standout singles, including the hauntingly flex-heavy“Case Closed,” the soulful winter-weather celebration “Aspen,” the classily ratchet “Sleep With The Roaches,” and the ice cold opening track “Penguins.“ Dum and Dummer 2 features several solo songs from both Young Dolph and Key Glock interspersed with the heavy-hitting tag-team tracks, including Key Glock’s bombastic “I’m The Type,” and Dolph’s bite-sized ad-lib-athon  “Yeeh Yeeh.” 

Dum & Dummer 2 is available everywhere via Paper Route EMPIRE.

In March, Dolph announced the #DumAndDummer2AlbumChallenge on his Instagram. The rapper announced that he would give away $25,000 each week for the next four weeks to the winners (one winner per week). The goal of the challenge will change each week–keep an eye on @YoungDolph for the latest updates.

Out Now on Netflix: Concrete Cowboy, Starring Idris Elba & Caleb McLaughlin

Out Now on Netflix

Far removed from the stereotypical white men in the Old West, the Fletcher Street Cowboys have their own rich tradition of raising horses on the streets of Philadelphia. The new Netflix film Concrete Cowboy examines their way of life through the lens of a prodigal son, who returns to Philly after a long absence to spend time with his father, a leader in the cowboy community. A moving coming of age story and a nuanced depiction of a father-son relationship, Concrete Cowboy flips the myth of the cowboy on its head–a tight-knit community is more powerful than a lone ranger.

CONCRETE COWBOY INFO:

Director | Ricky Staub
Writers | Ricky Staub, Dan Walser
Based On |  ‘Ghetto Cowboy’ by G. Neri
Producers | Tucker Tooley, Lee Daniels, Idris Elba, Dan Walser, Jeff Waxman, Jennifer Madeloff
Cast | Idris Elba, Caleb McLaughlin, Jharrel Jerome, Byron Bowers, Lorraine Toussaint, Clifford “Method Man” Smith

When fifteen year-old Cole (Caleb McLaughlin) is expelled from school in Detroit, he is sent to North Philadelphia to live with Harp (Idris Elba), his estranged father. Harp finds solace in rehabilitating horses for inner city cowboys at the Fletcher Street Stables, a real-life black urban horsemanship community that has provided a safe haven for the neighborhood residents for more than 100 years. Torn between his growing respect for his father’s community and his reemerging friendship with troubled cousin Smush (Jharrel Jerome), Cole begins to reprioritize his life as the stables themselves are threatened by encroaching gentrification.

Inspired by the novel “Ghetto Cowboy” by G. Neri, Concrete Cowboy is directed by first-time feature filmmaker Ricky Staub, written by Ricky Staub and Dan Walser and produced by Tucker Tooley, Lee Daniels, Idris Elba, Dan Walser, Jeff Waxman and Jennifer Madeloff. Byron Bowers, Lorraine Toussaint, Clifford “Method Man” Smith and members of the Fletcher Street Stables also co-star in this moving father-son drama about a teen caught between a life of crime and his estranged father’s vibrant urban-cowboy subculture.

Mo3’s Team Shares “Mob” ft. Foogiano, From the Dallas Rapper’s Posthumous Album Shottaz 4 Eva

Now Available For Pre-Order, Shottaz 4 Eva Releases on April 9th via H$M Music / EMPIRE

Home to Recent Single “Outside” ft. OG Bobby Billions, The 12-Track Shottaz 4 Eva is the First Album to Be Released Since Mo3’s Untimely Passing in November

The Song:

Gone far too soon, Mo3 became one of Dallas’s most respected rappers with his athletic rhymes and soulful singing. Today, H$M Music and EMPIRE reveal “Mob,” the latest single to be released in the wake of the rapper’s tragic passing. Trading bars with The New 1017’s Foogiano, Mo3’s latest single is a low-key, piano-driven banger–Mo’s animated bark perfectly contrasting Foogiano’s whimsical deadpan as they dole out street knowledge with wit and clarity.

“Mob” is the latest single from Shottaz 4 Eva, the first album to be released since Mo’s tragic passing in November 2020.

TikTok Treats, Week of March 29th

Thugger Challenges Gunna to a Dance-Off, Users Find Unconventional Inspiration with Vanessa Carlton, and More From the World of Music on TikTok

The News:

TikTok is a platform where songs by artists of all artists coexist on a level playing field. This past week on TikTok saw songs from a superstar’s new album trend alongside a fan-favorite from an emerging artist and hits from each of the past two decades. Take a look to see how TikTok’s endlessly creative users built unique worlds out of these disparate songs:

• TikTok favorite Justin Bieber returned to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 this week with “Peaches,” his new single with Daniel Caesar and fellow TikTok-beloved singer Giveon (whose “HEARTBREAK ANNIVERSARY” reached the Hot 100 after trending on the app). As is the case with many #1 hits, TikTok played a large part in its rise–the song racked up over 110k video creations since the song’s release, with the song catching fire with TikTok’s haircare community and getting a boost from Hailey Bieber, the song’s subject, and from Justin himself, who danced to the song in his “drew house”-branded attire in a video that racked up over 6 million views in just more than 1 week.
• Earlier this morning, TikTok intercepted a mysterious transmission from rock’s most mysterious and creative band…RADIOHEAD. The notoriously enigmatic group posted their first-ever TikTok, featuring an appearance from Chieftain Mews, a character well-known to fans of the band for his appearance on Radiohead webcasts, and a glitchy, but familiar instrumental. Don’t worry…everything is in its right place.
• Mike Posner’s laidback, synth-heavy vibe is proving to be a surprising hit on TikTok in 2021. The singer’s 2011 hit “Please Don’t Go” is having a major moment, generating over 450k views, many within the past week. The song has fueled a fashionable new challenge–users start their video by playfully looking at the camera, before the beat drops and the video cuts to them in a babushka and sunglasses, staring into the distance. The song has gained surprising traction in Indonesia, and has become a favorite for users brainstorming new outfits for their pets. benny blanco, the song’s co-writer and producer, recently posted a video commenting on the song’s unexpected resurgence and thanking the TikTok community for making it possible.
• ATL rap superstar Young Thug is making his presence felt on TikTok. The iconic artist behind the TikTok-trending “Relationship” ft. Future (2.5 million video creations) has been teasing new music on the platform, preparing his fans for the upcoming release of Slime Language 2. Thugger most recently shared a video of himself dancing to a new Wheezy-produced banger, tagging his YSL compadre Gunna and asking him to continue the trend (Gunna obliged hours later).
• When songs get popular enough on TikTok, they become part of the app’s sonic tapestry, offering a familiar soundtrack that evokes fond memories of the app itself. One such song is “Stuck In The Middle” by Tai Verdes (2.6 million views), which blew up on TikTok last summer and has remained on the trending charts ever since. The song’s loping bassline provides the ideal backing track for revealing your birthday color, drinking too many margaritas, and asking friends how they think they might wind up in jail.
• One of the most beloved pop songs of the early ’00s, Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles” (175k+ combined TIkTok video creations) is finding second (or third or fourth) life on TikTok. The community seized upon the song’s iconic piano intro, subverting its beautiful for some deep irony, creating inspirational quotes out of phrases that are anything but–including quotes from unhelpful dads during labor, thoughts during a hard test, and even the inner monologue of a pet duck.
• In the vast expanse of human history, there’ve been songs written about nearly every possible subject. TikTok creator Natalie Burdick (@natsingssongs) is on a mission to make sure that noble tradition continues. Dressed in her signature purple workout clothes, Nat creates catchy and harmonically complex songs about…everything, from sidewalk celery, to unlucky bird encounters, to the at-home feeling that only Shrek’s swamp can provide. Whenever you’re in the mood for an off-kilter, weirdly relatable song to get stuck in your head when you’re reckoning with your newfound love of La Croix, Nat is happy to oblige.

Earlier this week, TikTok announced the first Headstream, a new LIVE series that allows fans to go inside the minds of their favorite artists. The first session airs Friday April 2nd, featuring a one-of-a-kind interview with Demi Lovato, on the occasion of her new album Dancing With The Devil…The Art Of Starting Over. Check back on Fridays at 4pm PT/7pm ET for Headstream, with future installments featuring Lil Tjay, Aly & AJ, plus more.

Video: Chino Cappin – “Shine“

The Silky Smooth Alamo Records-Signed Singer/Rapper Speaks On His Come Up in His Latest Video Single

Critical Praise:

“He explores his relationships with his loved ones on the deeply personal track” – UPROXX

“Dirty South influences and driving top lines set Chino Cappin apart” – Dummy Mag

The Video:

Serving up rhymes with an appealingly raspy tenor, Georgia rapper Chino Cappin is making a name for himself in the Dirty South. Laying out his dreams and aspirations on his latest video single, the Alamo Records signee shares “Shine.” Gliding atop poignant piano chords, Chino flashes his silky smooth pipes, asserting that he has all the qualities needed to reach the top of the rap game: “I be handling business, I’m just focused on riches/Real crazy life that I’m livin’.”

In the video for “Shine,” Chino retreats to a church, as he plays the song on the piano and performs it from the pew. “Shine” is Chino’s latest quality music video, following the February release of Anti-Valentine’s anthem “Fake Love” (135k views) and “Lap Dance,” which generated over 390k YouTube views since its late-December release.

Born and raised in Fort Valley, Georgia, just outside of Atlanta, Chino focused on music as a teenager as a way to escape his rough circumstances. The rapper built a cult following in the Southeast with mixtapes like Cold Hearted and Too Many Losses, which combined strong melodic instincts with braggadocious bars and clear-eyed observations about life on the streets. The 19-year-old artist built buzz with a successful college tour, turning up the heat with recent singles like “Lap Dance,” “NaNaNa,” and “Different,” a collaboration with YSL-affiliated rapper Yak Gotti. He’s earned praise from UPROXX and Dummy Mag, and told his story in an interview with Dirty-Glove Bastard.

Now signed to Alamo Records, Chino Cappin is ready to bring his confident and smooth street music to the general public. Get ready for him to make major moves in 2021.

Listen to “Shine”: http://lnk.to/ChinoCappinShine

Please contact Michelle for more info.

The Background:

Chino Cappin is a lyricist and singer of many hats. First and foremost, he’s the voice of the streets, with a background in the slums that has given him the creative drive to progress in the packed hip-hop industry. But in addition to his rough and gruff image, he’s a fun-loving goofball, intense creative, and mastermind of charisma. With co-signs from No Jumper and the UK’s Dummy Mag, it’s clear many people from around the world have begun to tune in to hear what Chino’s been saying and continues to say. To date, Chino has amassed over 1.1 million streams, 900,000+ views, and an Instagram following of 28k+. These are authentic, consistent numbers that reveal a fanbase genuinely attracted to Chino in all capacities. His impact can be attributed to his authentic approach to rap and, surprisingly, his process of making music which is a unique take on two well-tested methods. He typically looks to select beats that evoke emotion and then lay down melodies and write to them. However, he also enjoys going off the top with whatever he’s feeling in the moment as well.

Internet Money Releases New “JETSKI” Single Featuring Lil Mosey & Lil Tecca

Following Up Their 2020 #6 Hit “Lemonade,” “JETSKI” is the Taz Taylor-Founded Collective’s First New Song of 2021

Critical Praise:

“[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

“Taz Taylor doesn’t consider himself an overnight success, but he’s definitely having a moment.” – Variety

The Announcement:

If anyone doubted their status as the rap game’s top artist-producer collective, Internet Money silenced those doubters with a massive year in 2020.  Looking to go even bigger in 2021, the collective founded by Taz Taylor shares “JETSKI,” a new single featuring Lil Mosey and Lil Tecca. Produced by Nick Mira, who connected with LIl Tecca back in 2019 for his smash hit “Ransom,” “JETSKI” mixes Mira’s signature guitar melodies with a dancehall-adjacent bounce that lends itself very nicely to fast-approaching summer weather. Exhibiting a natural chemistry, Mosey and Tecca trade melodic verses, bragging about their towering success at such a young age and sneering derisively at their imitators: “Yeah they tryna ride the wave like a jet ski/100 b*tches on my line tryna sex me/Yeah, my pockets gettin’ full, gettin’ hefty,” sings Mosey on the hook. On pace to rack up over 1 million streams in its first 24 hours of release, “JETSKI” is available everywhere via Internet Money Records/10K Projects.

“JETSKI” is a warning shot from Taz Taylor and Internet Money, offering incontrovertible proof that their 2020 success was no fluke. Though the collective had already racked up billions of streams and dozens of plaques, last year found Internet Money making waves as lead artists, spending several weeks in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with “Lemonade” ft. Gunna, Don Toliver & NAV. Earning double-platinum certification from the RIAA, “Lemonade” peaked at #6 on the Hot 100, #1 on Spotify’s US Top 50, and #1 on the UK Official Charts and landed them a coveted spot as the musical guest for The Tonight Show, Starring Jimmy Fallon. Meanwhile, B4 The Storm was one of the year’s most star-studded albums, debuting at #10 on the Billboard 200 and featuring appearances from superstars like like Future and Swae Lee as well as artists they’ve built from the beginning like Juice WRLD and Trippie Redd.

Despite all their success with B4 The Storm, Internet Money has no plans of slowing down in 2021. The group is working on their second album with even bigger features in store, beginning with “JETSKI.” “We want to be everywhere. Everyone will have no choice but to get to know Internet Money,” says Taylor.

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 the 27-year-old 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.

Young Dolph & Key Glock Share Dum & Dummer 2, Their Highly-Anticipated Collaborative Project

The Paper Route EMPIRE Duo is Cold as Ice in the Video for Opening Track “Penguins“

The New Album is the Sequel to the Memphis Duo’s 2019 Dum & Dummer, Which Peaked in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200

The Album + Video:

Blessed with unparalleled gifts for crafting punchlines about their lives of luxury, nobody in the rap game flexes harder than Young Dolph and Key Glock. Compiling their opulent magnum opus, the Paper Route EMPIRE duo share Dum & Dummer 2, a new collaborative album. The sequel to 2019’s Dum & Dummer, which peaked at #8 on the Billboard 200, Dum and Dummer 2 finds Dolph & Glock operating at an even higher level of craftsmanship, charisma, and luxury. With artwork that references MTV’s most famous duo, Beavis & Butthead, Dum & Dummer 2 establishes the two rappers (and cousins) as two halves of the same brain, each seamlessly picking up threads and finishing lines that the other leaves off.

The album spans 20-tracks, boasting production from PRE’s own Bandplay, who shows off his musicality and versatility, along with beats from Memphis native Sosa808 and decorated producer Ramy On The Beat. Dum & Dummer 2 is home to a series of standout singles, including the hauntingly flex-heavy“Case Closed,” the soulful winter-weather celebration “Aspen,” and the classily ratchet “Sleep With The Roaches,” which dropped last week. Dum and Dummer 2 features several solo songs from both Young Dolph and Key Glock interspersed with the heavy-hitting tag-team tracks, including Key Glock’s bombastic “I’m The Type,” and Dolph’s bite-sized ad-lib-athon  “Yeeh Yeeh.” 

Along with the album, Dolph & Glock share the video for “Penguins,” the tape’s ice-cold opening track. Populated by ping-ponging synths and whirring melodies from Bandplay, “Penguins” is a hauntingly percussive Tennessee trap banger. Dolph and Glock take turns setting the tone for their verses throughout the tape, showing off their playfully competitive dynamic and using entrancing repetition to hammer their points home. “It’s a big difference that’s between me and you/I can show you how to hustle, how to ball, and how to shoot/I been doin’ this since a jit, lil b*tch, this sh*t ain’t nothin’ new,” spits Glock. In the video, Dolph and Glock show us how they live, as they take their luxury vehicles to Downtown Memphis, connecting at a gas station and then the club.

Continuing the Memphis natives’ reign as two of the game’s most uncompromising and exciting independent superstars, Dum & Dummer 2 is the most extensive glimpse yet at Dolph & Glock’s extravagantly expensive lifestyles. Dum & Dummer 2 is available everywhere via Paper Route EMPIRE.

Yesterday, Dolph announced the #DumAndDummer2AlbumChallenge on his Instagram. The rapper announced that he would give away $25,000 each week for the next four weeks to the winners (one winner per week). The first challenge? Be the first to email Dolph with the 10,888th word said on Dum & Dummer 2. The challenge will change each week–keep an eye on @YoungDolph for the latest updates.

Out Now On Netflix: Bad Trip

Starring Eric Andre, Lil Rel Howery & Tiffany Haddish

Out Now on Netflix

Part-buddy comedy, part-hidden camera prank show, and all-ridiculous, Bad Trip is the first feature-length showcase of Eric Andre’s bawdy and bizarre humor. Co-starring Lil Rel Howery, Tiffany Haddish, Michaela Conlin, and a cast of real people who had no idea what they were in for, the new film blurs the lines between reality and fiction, wrapping together real pranks into a loose (and surprisingly sweet) narrative. Packed with uproarious set-pieces that you will never be able to un-see, Bad Trip is a film that will do anything to make you laugh.
