Meet Hip-Hop’s Next Leading Ladies: Beanz, Prado, and Big Jade

This International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, Take a Listen to These Rising Rappers–One Might Become Your New Favorite Artist

From the days of Sylvia Robinson pulling strings behind the scenes at Sugar Hill Records to the era of Queen Latifah spreading “U.N.I.T.Y>” to Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion topping the charts, women have always played a crucial role in shaping hip-hop and pushing it forward.

A stellar lyricist who embodies the East Coast tradition, Beanz first earned notice on Netflix’s Rhythm & Flow for her outsized charisma and lyrical dexterity.

A digital native who started making music in her Vancouver bedroom, Prado transcends genre with her intoxicating combination of hip-hop, pop, and electronic.

A hairdresser and a single mom from a little-known mid-sized Texas city, Big Jade’s fierce attitude earned the respect of influential tastemakers in Texas.

Check below for much more information on these artists. who are more than ready to make their mark on the scene in 2021 and beyond.

The Audible Treats Team

BEANZ

With an authoritative voice that leaps out of speakers, rising rapper Beanz has bars for days. Born and raised in Reading, Pennsylvania, a mid-sized city located between Philadelphia and Harrisburg, Beanz started her rhyming career as a poet. Before long, her poems evolved into raps, and she began to develop a reputation as the best rapper in her city. Beanz brought her artistry to a larger audience when she joined the cast of Rhythm & Flow, Netflix’s first-ever reality competition show, becoming a fan favorite for her take-no-prisoners attitude. Since Rhythm & Flow, Beanz has been active, releasing successful singles like “Can’t Call It” (over 1 million streams across platforms) and collaborating with Dizzy Wright for “Sick Of Complaining.” Most recently, Beanz turned heads with her new song “Trending Topic,” which samples “Who’s That Girl?” by fellow Pennsylvania native Eve. Ready to take her game to the next level in 2021, the artist is preparing a deluge of new music, including a forthcoming project. Beanz season is coming.

PRADO

Fusing elements of pop, rap, R&B, shoegaze, and electronic music into an invigorating cocktail, Prado makes genre-bending anthems for bad girls. After cutting her teeth as a songwriter and on SoundCloud under the name AlienKanye, Prado started to her mark on the music industry in 2020, packing inventive sonic ideas into her effortlessly quotable jams. The Vancouver native released STRIP, her debut double-single for tmwrk records, which featured the atmospheric, hook-filled banger “STEPHEN” and the confident, incantatory sigh “DRIP” (praised by Complex) in October. She followed up STRIP with “Men In Black,” an anti-f*ckboy anthem that’s catchier than a nursery rhyme. As she continues to release her unceasingly witty and irresistibly catchy music, prepare to see Prado’s lyrics in more Instagram captions than you can count.

 BIG JADE

Bursting out of Beaumont, Texas, a small city with a population of 100k that sits 1 hour east of Houston and 30 mins west of the Louisiana border, Big Jade built an online following with her unapologetic realness. In popular videos like “RPM,” “Phone Jumpin,” and “Respectfully” ft. BeatKing and Queendom Come, Jade exists in her element, showing off her rapping ability while styling hair, her longtime day job. Jade is a proud mother to her young daughter, who often makes cameo appearances in her true-to-life music videos.

Her brief, but visceral Texas trap bangers caught the attention of Houston heavy-hitter BeatKing, who took her under his wing and offered her guest verses and some of his fieriest beats. Now signed to Alamo Records, Jade is gearing up for her debut project, recently sharing the ultra-confident video for the DJ Chose-produced single “Gucci Bag.” With undeniable skills behind the mike, Big Jade is ready to make the leap from being the pride of North Beaumont to a nationally recognized star.

    Young Dolph & Key Glock Announce Dum & Dummer 2, Coming March 26th via Paper Route EMPIRE

  • Press Release

    Young Dolph & Key Glock Announce Dum & Dummer 2, Coming March 26th via Paper Route EMPIRE

    3.5.2021

    Young Dolph & Key Glock Announce Dum and Dummer 2, Coming March 26th via Paper Route EMPIRE

    The Duo Ball Out in Colorado’s Fanciest Ski Town in the Soulful New Single “Aspen”

    The Follow-Up to 2019’s Billboard Top 10-Charting Dum and DummerD&D2 Rekindles the Chemistry That Makes Young Dolph and Key Glock One of Rap’s Best Duos

    The Announcement:

    Tag-teaming trap tracks with outlandish flexes, Young Dolph & Key Glock are rap’s most in-demand twosome. Today, the Paper Route EMPIRE rappers officially announce Dum and Dummer 2, their second full-length collaborative album. The follow-up to 2019’s Dum and Dummerwhich 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. The two rappers–and blood cousins–often seem like two halves of the same brain, each seamlessly picking up threads and finishing lines that the other leaves off.

    Currently available for pre-order, album is home to Case Closed, last month’s hauntingly flex-heavy single, and Key Glock’s bombastic solo cut “I’m The Type,” as well as plenty of new highlights. Boasting artwork that slyly references MTV’s most famous duo Beavis & Butthead, Dum and Dummer 2 features several solo tracks from both Young Dolph and Key Glock interspersed with the heavy-hitting collab songs. Featuring production from PRE’s own Bandplay, who shows off his tremendous musicality and versatility, along with beats from Memphis natives like DJ Squeaky and Sosa808Dum and Dummer 2 hits the internet on March 26th via Paper Route EMPIRE.

    Dumb & Dumber is one of my and Glock’s favorite movies,” says Young Dolph. “We do stuff in real life that’s just like they do in that movie. We just like having fun with everything we do.”

    To accompany the announcement of the album, the duo “Aspen,” a new music video and single that is icy in all senses of the word. Blessed with a deeply soulful beat from Bandplay (“that’s who I’m runnin’ up the bands with,” rhymes Dolph), complete with textured blasts of organ and twinkling keys, “Aspen” is a master class in flexing, as Dolph & Glock brag about ballin’ out in Colorado’s ritziest mountain town. Each rapper has a blast slaloming around Bandplay’s 808s to craft their assonant boasts: “Get out my way, I’ll pop you like an Aspirin/Trap n**** on my way to Aspen/Smoke the best weed and spend millions on fashion,” spits Dolph on the hook.

    Home to fan-favorite hits like Water On Water On Water” and 1 Hell Of A Life,” Dum & Dummer was a deluxe-sized showcase for the duo’s inimitable chemistry and unparalleled flexes. Dum and Dummer inspired a successful joint tour, during which Dolph & Glock sold over 43,000 tickets and sold out shows in multiple markets. Dolph & Glock connected earlier this year for Green Light,” a highlight single from the deluxe version of Dolph’s Rich Slave album, which peaked at #4 on the Billboard 200 upon its release in August. Look for the Memphis natives to make just as big a splash with Dum and Dummer 2.

    Taleban Dooda Recruits 42 Dugg for “Trappin’ Ain’t Dead,” Announces 5/14 Debut Album

  • Press Release

    Taleban Dooda Recruits 42 Dugg for “Trappin’ Ain’t Dead,” Announces 5/14 Debut Album

    3.5.2021

    Taleban Dooda Connects with 42 Dugg for the Hard-Hitting “Trappin’ Ain’t Dead”
    The Tampa Native Announces Debut Album Fallen Angel, Arriving May 14th via Green Light Music Group/Rostrum Records

    The 18-Year-Old Rising Star Shows Off His Spitting Skills Over a Helluva-Produced Beat on His New Video Single

    Critical Praise:

    “At only 18 years old.. his talents are already overly abundant and his potential is probably higher than most up and coming artists you could name off the top of your head.” – Lyrical Lemonade

    “He falls into the lane of melodic street rap that acts like YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Lil Durk, Teejay3k, and others are making, but his high-pitched vocals and limitless subject matter set him apart.” – Earmilk

    The Announcement + Video:

    Taleban Dooda is tearing up the Florida scene with his nimble melodics and raw lyricism. Ready to harness his prodigious talent into a full-length effort, the 18-year-old East Tampa native formally announces Fallen Angel, his forthcoming debut album. Bursting with invention and earworm hooks, the upcoming album gives a home to recently released highlights like “Chosen” ft. T9ine a gospel-influenced anthem that earned praise from Pitchfork and HipHopDX (who named the song one of the Best Hip-Hop Songs of 2021 So Far) and counts 3 million total streams, and the tuneful No Eater,” released last month and featured prominently on Spotify’s Fresh Finds playlist. Capitalizing on momentum that has been building since the Dooda’s release of the street hit Tru Colors” last January, Fallen Angel releases on May 14th via Green Light Music Group/Rostrum Records.

    To accompany the announcement of the album, Dooda shows off his pure rapping ability in his hard-charging new video single Trappin’ Ain’t Dead.” Featuring an appearance from in-demand guest verse god 42 Dugg, “Trappin’ Ain’t Dead” borrows the chaotic sonics of Dugg’s native Detroit, recruiting producer Helluva to provide his signature rubbery bass and racing piano arpeggios. The stylistic change-up comes naturally for Dooda, who tones down his usual melodics and lets loose with a hard-charging flow, proving that he’s the top dog in his hometown. In the video, shot by 20k Visuals, Dooda and Dugg trap out at an East Tampa Chevron as they mob with their crews.

    Taleban Dooda has been steadily building a fanbase since release his first single in early 2020, displaying a natural melodic ability that helps him stand out in a burgeoning Florida street rap scene. He scored street hits in the first half of the year with the likes of “Tru Colors” (over 3 million total streams) and “2 In Da Morning” (1 million views), and kept the momentum going in the fall with standout singles like “Dis Dooda,” which Vice named as one of the 24 Best Songs of September. Stay tuned for more releases from Dooda in the run-up to his debut album, and his first-ever full length project, Fallen Angel.

    Please contact Michelle or Kevin for more info.

    The Background:

    Taleban Dooda always had a voice–a combination of distinctly Floridian style and irresistibly catchy melody, has made the 18-year-old rapper one of the most exciting new rap voices coming out of the South. Hailing from East Tampa, Dooda had few options to avoid the violence that lurked outside his door. When he injured his knee in his 9th grade year, ending his football dreams, Dooda turned his attention to music. He began by recording himself covering other people’s songs — inspired by his love for artists like Bruno Mars, John Legend, and Sam Smith — before moving on to his own original compositions. Influenced by artists like NBA Youngboy, Polo G, and NoCap, Taleban Dooda decided to become a rapper.

    For Dooda, 2020 was all about consistency, as he continued to drop a steady stream of strong singles throughout the year. In September, he released “Dis Dooda” — which VICE named one of the best songs of the month and Lyrical Lemonade highlighted on their site — and followed that up in November with the TM88 and ATL Jacob-produced “Finish Him.” Now, Dooda has his eyes set on the upcoming release of his debut album. With all this momentum, and all of Florida behind him, he doesn’t plan to slow down any time soon. “I’m just trying to keep dropping music,” he says. “I ain’t trying to take no breaks.”

  • Press Release

    Yung Mal’s Pants Are Too Tight For His Bands in “Stay Down”

    3.3.2021

    Video: Yung Mal – “Stay Down”

    The Zone 6 Standout Flashes His Ice and His Ice-Cold Flow in His First New Video of 2021, With a Cameo From NLE Choppa

    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:

    With a supernatural feel for rhythm and a devil-may-care demeanor, Yung Mal is ready to take the next step. Giving a glimpse of his hectic and high-flying lifestyle, Mal shares Stay Down,” his new music video. Doing donuts around swirling flutes and insistent 808s, Mal shows off his rapidfire patter on the new track, occasionally switching to a cut-time triplet flow to pontificate about his problems and brag about his hard-earned riches: “Stay down, stay down, stay down, stay down/None of this sh*t did come overnight/I ran that sh*t all the way up from the ground/The bands don’t fit cause my pants too tight.” In the video, an effortlessly fly Mal shows off his ice and counts his cash as he throws down in Candler Park with his 1.5 Crew and other close friends including NLE Choppa.

    “Stay Down” is Mal’s first video following a breakthrough 2020, featuring two high-octane collaborative projects with rising producers. Released in March, 6 Rings paired Mal with Pyrex Whippa. Sporting appearances from Lil KeedLil Gotit, and Doe Boy6 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.” Building a head of steam in 2021, 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 later this year.

    On TikTok: Kali Uchis and Coi Leray Hit the Charts as Bobby Shmurda Comes Home

  • Press Release

    On TikTok: Kali Uchis and Coi Leray Hit the Charts as Bobby Shmurda Comes Home

    3.3.2021

    TikTok Treats, Week of March 1st

    The News:

    TikTok is a major of music culture, capable of taking an unknown song to the Billboard charts. The platform relies upon a give-and-take between artists and the community–the artists engaging with their fans, and the fans responding by using their creative energy to re-interpret the music that inspires them. Below, find some ways music sparked creativity in the TikTok community in recent weeks:

    • New York rapper Bobby Shmurda finished a bid in prison last week, and TikTok was ready to roll out the red carpet. The 26-year-old rapper created a TikTok account shortly after coming home, quickly racking up over 260k followers, and posting videos of highlights from his first week as a free man, including the moment when he first saw his Gold and Platinum plaques. Shmurda’s return inspired a viral moment on the platform for his signature hit “Hot N****,” generating over 50k video creations, as TikTok users celebrated his freedom by doing the Shmoney Dance or creating an animation of Bobby’s hat from the song’s music video.
    • Last month, Grammy-nominated electronic music producer KAYTRANADA previewed a cool, disco track titled “Caution” as part of TikTok’s Black History Month celebration. Though Black History Month has come to an end, the success of the song seems to just be beginning. TikTok users have fully embraced the song since its release, propelling it to over 264k creations. The song’s eclectic, yet smooth vibe makes it the perfect background music for a a variety of creative tutorials, ranging from custom Nike art to the iconic “curtain” haircut, and has even provided the soundtrack for adorable toddler Spanish lessons and low-carb pizza recipes.
    • With over 1.7 million followers, rising rapper Coi Leray is a TikTok favorite and an active user of the platform, using TikTok to partake in viral dance trendsgoof around with friendsshow her support for Britney Spears, and more. In early January, Coi dropped her most popular video yet when she shared a snippet of herself and some friends dancing to a moody, piano-laden song, generating over 3.9 million views. Inspired by the fan response, Coi shared “No More Parties” one week later, making an instant splash on streaming and on TikTok, where it has soundtracked over 292k video creations (and 88k more on a slowed version), including delicious pasta recipesfamily dances, and more. Propelled in part by its TikTok success, which helped lead to a remix featuring Lil Durk, “No More Parties” jumped 38 spots to reach #32 on the Billboard Hot 100.
    • The TikTok community loves a good chill vibe, and R&B singer Kali Uchis was happy to oblige with her melodic, Spanish language track “telepatía.” The bilingual hit has racked up over 391k creations on the platform, with some creators using the track to show off their baked goodsbanana boba tea, and amazing zodiac sign-inspired body makeup. Fully embracing all of the love the song has been receiving, Kali Uchis even took to her own page to discuss the spiritual meaning behind the therapeutic track. This week, “telepatía” entered the Billboard Hot 100 at #54, earning Kali Uchis her first Hot 100 hit as a lead artist.
    • The top-trending song on TikTok this week is “Batman” (430k creations and rising on two sounds) a nostalgic track from rising Orlando rapper LPB Poody. Sampling the 2009 classic (and popular TikTok hit) Teach Me How To Dougie” by Cali Swag District, “Batman” took off after prolific creator and erstwhile Starbucks employee @karaleighcannella choreographed an expressive dance to the song, which drew the attention of influencers like James Charles. Responding to Poody’s line “she told me to recline so I had to let back the seats,” the entries to the dance challenge have evolved into a contest to see who can lean back the furthest while still remaining on their two feet.
    • Another week, another hit  TikTok helped revitalize. This week, the trending song is “Astronaut In The Ocean,” a moody and melodic song that Australian rapper Masked Wolf originally released in 2018. Steadily trending since fall 2020, “Astronaut In The Ocean” struck a chord with TikTok users, inspiring nearly 800k video creations across multiple sounds. The song has been a go-to for any creator looking to show off an awesome feat of skill (whether by human or panther), ranging from amazing soccer goals to off-road driving and martial arts. The song’s TikTok success helped Masked Wolf land a deal with Elektra Records, and the song recently reached #62 on the Billboard Hot 100.

    After helping propel the first number one hit of 2021 to the top of the charts (Olivia Rodrigo’s “Driver’s License,” which remains on top), TikTok-trending songs have been a constant presence in the culture. Though some TikTok-trending songs that reach the charts might not be conventional pop hits, it is no longer a novelty to see a song by a new artist climbing to prominence. As usual, the best way to keep an eye on rising hits and artists is to keep scrolling down your For You page.

  • Press Release

    Kalan.FrFr Signs to Roc Nation, Previews 3/12 Debut Album TwoFr 2

    3.1.2021

    Rising L.A. Artist Kalan.FrFr Signs With Roc Nation

    The Melodic Rapper Reveals the Cover Art and Tracklist For His Debut Album TwoFr 2, Coming March 12th

    The Upcoming Album From the Versatile Compton Native Features Recent Singles like “Scoring,” “Get In” ft. Stunna 4 Vegas, and “No Love” ft. Mozzy

    Critical Praise:

    “On the West Coast, Kalan has emerged as the premier vocalist in L.A.’s thriving street rap scene, closer in comparison to Ty Dolla $ign than OhGeesy…but Kalan proves he can go bar for bar with L.A.’s best.”  – Pitchfork

    “Don’t be fooled by Kalan.frfr. Just because he often uses his warm R&B melody over lush piano keys doesn’t mean he’s making bright-eyed love songs…When you’re talking about L.A.’s new wave of sh*t-talking, designer-obsessed rappers, Kalan.frfr should be included. He just happens to sing.” – Pitchfork

    “Upon meeting YG, Kalan.frfr was honored that the hip-hop superstar was a fan of his music.” – HYPEBEAST

    “Kalan.Frfr has been a part of an exciting new wave of LA rap that includes artists like himself, Shoreline Mafia, 1TakeJay, and the currently incarcerated cult favourites Drakeo the Ruler & 03 Greedo. Unlike most of the artists on that list, Kalan’s music retains a consistently celebratory vibe with an emphasis on party bangers. It’s certainly something he does well.” HotNewHipHop

    Favorite Hip-Hop/R&B Songs of 2020 (“Scoring”) – EARMILK

    The Announcement:

    Mixing a smoothly melodic vocal style with a streetwise lyrical sensibility, there’s no limit to how high Compton’s Kalan.FrFr can rise. Today, the 25-year-old artist officially announces that he and his label First Class Entertainment have signed a partnership with Roc Nation.

    “Being with Roc Nation feels like we set our goals and now we’ve accomplished them,” says Kalan. “We’re just excited to take it to the next level. I just wanna prove to everyone that believes in me…I wanna prove them right.”

    “Kalan gives you star power upon walking in the door. He commands a room, studio, and/or stage! Signing him was a no brainer for us!” – Shari Bryant & Omar Grant, Co-Presidents at Roc Nation

    Along with his new deal with the Roc, Kalan reveals the cover artwork and tracklist for his debut album TwoFr 2, arriving on March 12th. The sequel to 2018’s TwoFr, home to local hits like like Fine Ass and Naked,” TwoFr 2 takes Kalan’s artistry to a new level, complementing his raunchy love songs with introspection and hard-earned wisdom.

    The upcoming album is home to Scoring, which earned airtime during a Los Angeles Lakers NBA playoff game in the Fall and is currently impacting at urban radio, and “Get In,” a lumbering, piano-heavy banger with an appearance from Stunna 4 VegasTwoFr 2 also boasts the standout track “No Love” ft. Mozzy & Cypress Moreno, for which Kalan teased a forthcoming video on his Instagram. Already a standout in the L.A. rap scene, the upcoming TwoFr 2 proves that Kalan has the goods to follow the footsteps of Kendrick Lamar and Roddy Ricch to become Compton’s next national star.

    A major figure in Los Angeles’ stacked rap scene, recently crashing the Top 10 of Billboard’s Emerging L.A. Artists chart, Kalan.FrFr earned accolades and co-signs for his breezy melodies and hard-hitting bars. In 2020, the artist’s singular alchemy caught the attention of L.A. rap superstar YG, who hopped on the remix for Kalan’s hard-hitting Right Wit It.” A vocalist with many dimensions, the artist earned praise from Pitchfork in 2019 for his pure rapping ability on his fan-favorite Hot N Ready (Freestyle).” 

    “Kalan.FrFr is melodic but his delivery on songs will always make you remember him,” says Earl Johnson, Senior Director of A&R at Roc Nation Records. “He’s a hitmaker and a born star.”

    Stay tuned for more announcements and music from Kalan in the coming weeks.

    Biggie: I Got A Story To Tell

    Executive-Produced by Sean “Diddy” Combs and Voletta Wallace, the New Documentary Digs Deep Into the Origins of The Notorious B.I.G.

    Out Now on Netflix
    Watch The Trailer Here

    It’s impossible to overstate the impact of The Notorious B.I.G.–he forever changed the art of rhyming with sharp storytelling and boundless charisma, redefined the commercial possibilities of rap stardom, and embodied the rough-and-tumble hustle of his home borough of Brooklyn. But before he was Biggie Smalls, he was just Christopher Wallace–ambitious, sweet, if a bit of a troublemaker. A loyal friend and the apple of his mother’s eye.

    Instead of focusing on the glitz and glamor of Wallace’s torrid career and wide-ranging stardom, the new documentary Biggie: I Got A Story To Tell offers a close look at the man behind the myth. Featuring rare archival footage and interviews with the people who knew him best–his mother, Voletta Wallace, his business partner Sean Combs, his girlfriend Faith Evans, and close friends from Bed-Stuy like Lil CeaseI Got A Story To Tell descriptively details the world Biggie was desperate to escape, and the loved ones he wanted to take with him.

    Executive-produced by Biggie’s mother Voletta Wallace and Sean Combs, and directed by Emmett Malloy, the new doc is packed with stories and nuggets that will interest longtime Biggie fans and newcomers alike, explaining Biggie’s diverse musical background that incorporated hip-hop, dancehall, and jazz (thanks to his neighbor and musical mentor Donald Harrison), giving additional context to classic songs like “Respect,” “Warning,” and “Miss U,” among others, and exploring the circumstances behind Biggie’s famous Fulton Street freestyle.

    Biggie: I Got A Story To Tell allows fans to come closer than ever to knowing and understanding Biggie Smalls the way his closest friends and loved ones did.

    Biggie: I Got A Story To Tell is available to watch now on Netflix.

Made in collaboration with Biggie’s estate, I Got A Story To Tell is an intimate rendering of a man whose rapid ascent and tragic end has been at the center of rap lore for more than twenty years. Directed by Emmett Malloy, this intimate documentary features rare footage filmed by his best friend Damion “D-Roc” Butler and new interviews with his closest friends and family, revealing a side of Christopher Wallace that the world never knew. I Got A Story To Tell is executive produced by Sean Combs, Voletta Wallace, Mark Pitts, Stanley Buchthal, and Emmett and Brendan Malloy.

    2.26.2021

    Album: Curren$y – Collection Agency

    The Prolific Emcee and Jet Life CEO’s New Project Features Larry June and Production from Harry Fraud, DjFresh, and More, and Arrives with a Visualizer for Album Highlight “Arrival”

    Critical Praise:

    “Curren$y is still capable of rapping something so simple it’ll make you wonder how no one has rapped it already” – Pitchfork

    “Curren$y’s sharpened pen and deft wordplay will quiet the doubters. His influence was evident then, and it’s irrefutable now.” – Rolling Stone

    The Album:

    A connoisseur of fine herbs and finer beats, prolific rapper Curren$y is the world’s hardest-working stoner. Coming through with his first project of a busy 2021, Spitta shares Collection Agency. Packed with the hazy production and intricate rhymes that have been thrilling Curren$y fans for over a decade, Collection Agency finds the New Orleans native in his bag, spinning witticisms about his life of luxury and painting pictures with his detailed description. The album features production from Harry FraudDj.freshTrauma Tone, and more, who create a smooth and sumptuous sonic palette that borrows from ’80s electrofunk and quiet storm R&B.

    The tape boasts recent singles like the luscious Kush Through The Sunroof” and the wistfully horn-laden Misty,” along with as-yet-unheard highlights like “I Don’t Call,” in which the rapper brags about getting bands in a pandemic, and the saxophone-drenched late-night heater “Jermaine Dupri, which drew praise from the man himself on Twitter. Featuring a guest appearance from Curren$y’s kindred spirit Larry JuneCollection Agency is available on all platforms via Jet Life Recordings/EMPIRE.

    Along with the album, Curren$y shares a new animated visualizer for project highlight “Arrival.” Blessed with a jazzy boom-bap backing track courtesy of Harry Fraud, a mood that suits Curren$y’s detail-rich descriptive abilities, “Arrival” finds Curren$y dwelling on the psychological and material impacts of money. The New Orleans native reflects on how his relationship with his mom and his less scrupulous relatives have changed, and stresses his accomplishments as a businessman: “Success is my cologne/Thuggish ruggish bone/For the love of money/Loved ones do you wrong.” Animated in a cutout style by Lakeem Wilson, the new visualizer situates Curren$y as a frontman to a band of dog musicians, while the animation shifts to match Spitta’s lyrics.

    Collection Agency is Curren$y’s first new project of 2021, following a yet another busy year for the veteran rapper. In 2020, the uncountably prolific rapper released 4 full-length projects and multiple EPs, each with a different set of collaborators.

The Jet Life CEO ended the year with Welcome To Jet Life Recordingsa label showcase that featured contributions from signees like T.Y.Black Cobain, and more.

    Curren$y is always working, feeding his fans quality music while looking towards the future. Collection Agency is merely the first salvo in yet another productive year for the respected rap icon.

    Key Glock Proves He’s On Another Level in “I’m The Type”

  • Press Release

    Key Glock Proves He’s On Another Level in “I’m The Type”

    2.26.2021

    Video: Key Glock – “I’m The Type

    Produced by Bandplay, “I’m The Type” Showcases the Paper Route EMPIRE Signee’s Unparalleled Flexing Ability

    Critical Praise:

    “If somebody wants to know what current day Memphis rap sounds like, show them Key Glock. The 21-year-old has uncontrollable energy, can tell a funny story, and says it all over beats that pay homage to the city’s history while still incorporating a modern bounce.” – Pitchfork

    “Rags-to-riches stories are a constant in rap, but Glock’s enthusiasm is infectious. Coupled with hard-hitting beats—from the slinky guitars and 808s of opener “1997” to the subwoofer-crushing drums of lead single “Mr. Glock”—Yellow Tape is enough reason to celebrate making it to the finish line on any given day. May the congregation say amen.” – Complex

    “Key Glock is Memphis’s best new lyricist.” – The FADER

    The Video:

    With his relentless appetite for flexing and the bankroll to back it up, Key Glock isn’t like those other guys. Determined to prove that he’s a cut above the average, Key Glock shares “I’m The Type,” his new single. Blessed with ringing piano from Bandplay, “I’m The Type” finds Glizzock giving a methodical rundown to explain why he’s sicker than the average emcee: “I’m the type of n**** spend six figures on my wrist/You that type of n**** that be stressin’ bout the rent.” Though the piano loosely resembles the Bridal March, Key Glock is clear throughout the song that he’s not the marrying type, flaunting his playboy attitude with blunt-force bars: “Glizzock pulled up in that new thang with the top off/Then he pulled off with your girlfriend and knocked her socks off.” “I’m The Type” is Glock’s follows the standout single Off The Porch,” which came complete with a flashy music video (2.7 million views).

    Signed to Young Dolph‘s Paper Route EMPIRE label, Key Glock established himself as a bonafide star in 2020, reaching the top 40 of the Billboard 200 with two different projects and without any guest artists. His May mixtape Son Of A Gun reached #37 on the Billboard 200.  January’s successful Yellow Tape, which hosted successful singles like Look At They Face,” the suave Mr. Glock,” and the sinister I’m Just Sayin’.” Praised by PitchforkComplex, and more, the project reached #16 on the Billboard 200.

    His two 2020 releases built on the success of 2019’s Dum & Dummerthe rapper’s collaborative project with Young Dolph. Most recently, the 23-year-old rapper released Never Change,” a new video single produced by Bandplay (2 million views). Earlier this year, Glock reconnected with Glock for the haunting “Case Closed” and for “Green Light,” a cut from the Deluxe Edition of Dolph’s Rich Slave album.

    Stay tuned for much more from the prolific young rapper as 2021 moves along.

  • TikTok sound (1.4 million video creations), and eventually a full song called “So Pretty.” Reyanna Maria’s success with “So Pretty” led to a record deal with Republic Records, and earlier this week, “So Pretty” earned a verse from Tyga for the official remix.
  • According to TikTok’s 2020 Music Report, R&B was the third-most popular genre on the platform, only trailing hip-hop and pop. Recently, and especially during Black History Month, R&B artists have been showing appreciation for TikTok and its community. Last night, Texan Soul singer Leon Bridges hosted a LIVE stream to raise money for the Alvin Ailey Foundation on TikTok, after previewing his cover of gospel deep cut “Like A Ship” exclusively on TikTok last week.

    Rihanna, Brent Faiyaz, and Giveon Lead TikTok’s R&B Moment

    Press Release

    Rihanna, Brent Faiyaz, and Giveon Lead TikTok’s R&B Moment

    2.24.2021

    TikTok Treats, Week of February 22nd

    R&B Songs by Rihanna, Brent Faiyaz, Lil Tjay & 6LACK, and Others Tear Up TikTok During Black History Month



    The News:

    R&B has always had a special place in the hearts of TikTok users and the company itself. TikTok’s two biggest LIVE events involved R&B superstar The Weeknd and Justin Bieber’s recent Valentine’s Day performance of JOURNALS, his most R&B-influenced album. Now, the genre is having a major moment on TikTok, with multiple trending songs and a breakout star. Check out the stories below:

    • Bronx rapper Lil Tjay and R&B star 6LACK have had TikTok users across the world in their feelings with their somber breakup anthem “Calling My Phone” garnering over 95k creations on the platform. The two have become notorious for mood music on TikTok in the past year, as Lil Tjay’s Pop Smoke “Mood Swings” hit collaboration and 6LACK’s “PRBLMS” have both soared on the platform. Quite the avid TikTok users, they are now featuring music video footage as well as the story of the making of the R&B tune on their own pages. The song’s melancholic mood has inspired much creativity in the TikTok community, with some of the highlights including creators teaching lessons in loyalty and even showing off their own takes on the song, some in rather unlikely locations. The song’s TikTok success helped the song make a major commercial impact, landing a #3 debut on the Billboard Hot 100.
    • Rihanna has kept her fans waiting a while for new music,, but that hasn’t stopped more than one of her songs from reaching viral status. In recent weeks, “Pour It Up” (33.7k video creations) Rihanna’s cavernous collab with Mike WiLL Made It, made waves on the platform, inspiring users to make decadent burritos, to try little-known candies, and to make daring hair decisions. It’s more pop-facing than R&B, but Rihanna’s 2008 hit “Disturbia” is also having a viral moment (311k video creations, 78 million video views on #disturbia), with particular focus on RiRi’s spoken “what’s wrong with me?” line in the song’s intro. The sound is ideal for self-deprecating TikTok users who know they’re wrong, but are tempted to do the wrong thing anyway.
    • Brent Faiyaz already has a large and devoted fanbase, but his fans know that he has superstar potential. His new TikTok-trending single “Gravity,” featuring Tyler, The Creator and DJ Dahi, might be the song that gets him to the upper echelon of stardom. The song already has 567k video creations from users (including influencers like Loren Gray) who’ve taken to the song’s “don’t act like I’m average” hook, using it to soundtrack clips of their extraordinary skills, ranging from yo-yo excellence, to mouth-watering cooking abilities, to making custom lipstick, and even creating a Brent Faiyaz rug. The song already has over 13 million streams on Spotify and currently sits in the Top 15 of Spotify’s U.S. Viral 50 chart.
    • Grammy-nominated R&B rising star Giveon has TikTok in its feelings with his viral song “HEARTBREAK ANNIVERSARY,” which has over 115k video creations on the platform. The song has several qualities that TIkTok users generally enjoy, including “ethereal” vibes, pitch-manipulated vocals, and a clearly communicated message. “HEARTBREAK ANNIVERSARY” is the ideal backing music for hating Valentine’s Day, vibing at a coral beach, or just admiring Giveon’s golden pipes. The deeply emotional and cathartic song is currently in the Top 10 of Spotify’s U.S. Viral 50 and at #75 on the Billboard Hot 100 (Giveon’s first entry as a lead artist), but it’s important to remember that a sad song is no substitute for therapy.
    • It isn’t just established R&B stars who make noise on TikTok–the platform is helping young artists like Reyanna Maria rise to prominence. Reyanna built an audience on TikTok by engaging with other users on the platform, making her own beats and covering songs by Ariana GrandeSummer WalkerSZA, and Billie Eilish. Reyanna had a major breakthrough in December when she duetted a beat by @katoproducer with a calm and confident rap verse, earning over 2 million views. After clamoring from followers and fans, Reyanna made the audio into a TikTok sound (1.4 million video creations), and eventually a full song called “So Pretty.” Reyanna Maria’s success with “So Pretty” led to a record deal with Republic Records, and earlier this week, “So Pretty” earned a verse from Tyga for the official remix.

    According to TikTok’s 2020 Music Report, R&B was the third-most popular genre on the platform, only trailing hip-hop and pop. Recently, and especially during Black History Month, R&B artists have been showing appreciation for TikTok and its community. Last night, Texan Soul singer Leon Bridges hosted a LIVE stream to raise money for the Alvin Ailey Foundation on TikTok, after previewing his cover of gospel deep cut “Like A Ship” exclusively on TikTok last week. Other R&B icons, including Kelly Rowland, Ashanti, and Monica have hosted LIVE conversations with Black TikTok creators to talk about their careers and issues important to them. With plenty of love on both sides, TikTok’s love affair with R&B is in no danger of ending any time soon.

    On Friday, TikTok ends Black History Month with a bang airing the TikTok LIVE Make Black History Celebration. Airing on Friday February 26th and hosted by Karen Civil and Challan, the TikTok LIVE Make Black History Celebration traces the evolution of California rap, featuring interviews and performances from iconic Cali artists like Snoop Dogg, Tyga, and Saweetie, each with a special backdrop that speaks to their West Coast roots.

    White John Investigates His Lone Wolf Tendencies In “By Yourself” Video

  • Press Release

    White John Investigates His Lone Wolf Tendencies In “By Yourself” Video

    2.24.2021

    Video: White John – “By Yourself

    The Inglewood Rapper Can Only Rely On Himself In the Latest Video from His Cases Still Pending EP

    Critical Praise:

    “Where did White John come from? Did he drop from the sky? Was he created in a lab? We’ll never know. Regardless, the Inglewood rapper has quickly become a must-know name on the West Coast.” – Pitchfork

    “The self-proclaimed ‘Mr. F*ck LAPD,’ John has a swagger undoubtedly forged by moving in Piru sections of the city. If he continues to improve at this rate, he might be next up far beyond Inglewood.” – SPIN

    “Everybody in LA loves White John. He’s from Inglewood. He grew up down the street. He went to Westchester High. He’s always been around everybody. He should’ve been rapping, but he was into living the fast life. Everything he be talking about is real sh*t. LAPD really does hate his ass.” – Rucci, to The FADER

    The Video:

    Building a reputation with his rock-solid flow and outsized persona, White John worked hard for everything he has. Proudly practicing the art of self-reliance, the rapper also known as Mr. F*ck The LAPD shares By Yourself,” his latest music video. Blessed with a bass-heavy instrumental from Ace The Face, “By Yourself” is a propulsive and emotionally complex bit of Cali fire. The song is packed with White John’s trademark in-your-face aggression (“Second of all, f*ck the opps and they dead homies”), but it also speaks to the loneliness and pain that fuels John’s me-against-the-world attitude: “Ion even talk to my moms/Ion even think she’d care if I was gone.” In the video, directed by the White Gurb’s frequent collaborator Mr.RealMovie, John stalks the streets of Inglewood in a bunny-eared hoodie, showing off the otherworldly confidence required to get by in his neighborhood by his lonely. “By Yourself” is the latest video from Cases Still Pending, John’s recently released EP.

    Painting a picture of his chaotic and cinematic life, Cases Still Pending proves why White Johnis one of L.A.’s most colorful rap characters. Wielding a laid-back, yet insistent flow, John sits firmly in the pocket of the propulsive West Coast production, crafted by the likes of scene sound architects like Beat Boy and Ace The Face, alternating outlandish flexes and hedonistic odes to the turn-up lifestyle with sober reflections on the realities of street life. Cases Still Pending is home to previous video singles including the OMB Peezy-featuring Dead Homies (250k views) and the trippy I Need Drugs” (228k views), featuring an appearance from White John’s Inglewood associate Rucci. The sequel to last year’s Cases Pending EP, home to the rapper’s street hit Crazy,” Cases Still Pending is available now on all platforms.

    Respected in his hometown for his unapologetic realness and fluency with slang, White John rose to local hero status in L.A. in 2020. He caught the attention of his city with songs like Crazy” and Road Runnin’,” racking up hundreds of thousands of streams on YouTube and Spotify. He’s been praised by the likes of Pitchfork and SPIN, and collaborated with Fenix FlexinLil House Phone, and many others in the L.A. scene. Look for White John to make much more noise as 2021 moves along.

    Oakland’s Rising Star Laney Keyz Bares His Soul In New Video

  • Press Release

    Oakland’s Rising Star Laney Keyz Bares His Soul In New Video

    2.23.2021

    Video: Laney Keyz – Famous

    The Emerging Rapper Documents His Fears, Loyalties, Imperfections, and How High the Stakes Are

    Critical Praise:

    “With raw talent, and against the backdrop of a pandemic, Laney Keyz looks poised to jump straight from aspiring musician to full-blown star.” – SF Weekly

    “Laney’s music comes from a place of support, combining infectious hooks and a delivery that reels listeners in like a prize catch.”  – DJ Booth

    “Inspired greatly by Meek Mill, his music is a combination of melodic R&B and hardcore hip-hop.” – FLAUNT

    “Keyz’s music is melodic and heartfelt, his three singles bouncy enough for the club but introspective enough for a late-night drive. ‘Colorful Sh*t’ is succinct and snappy, enough so that it unexpectedly caught the attention of Lil Yachty. “ – PopDust

    The Video:

    Primed to be the Bay’s next to blow, Laney Keyz reveals more about his upbringing and background growing up in East Oakland than he ever has. Although he’s lived a life full of both hardships and beauty, both mistakes and triumphs, Laney strives for more than the circumstances he was dealt and his new song, “Famous” reflects that. In essence, he cares less about being famous than he does making it out the hood. The pressures of becoming famous are inconsequential to the pressures of surviving the streets and armed with that experiential knowledge, Laney is destined for success.

    Flashing his melodic bars on the psychedelic, stuttering 808 beat, the visual for “Famous” delivers fluttering, kaleidoscopic glimpses into the East Oakland native’s old stomping grounds. The graffiti-covered walls and night-ridden streets provide the backdrop for his angst as he candidly details the increasing anxiety behind his transition from a troubled childhood to rising fame. Packed with local references that any East Bay kid would understand, “Famous” reveals his origin story, documenting his his fears, his loyalties, his imperfections, his days spent at Santa Rita county jail, and how he’d love to go back home to Oakland but knows he’s better off if he stays in his new home of LA. “Famous” is the follow-up to “360,” Laney’s high-octane Lil Keed collaboration.

    Born and raised in East Oakland, Laney Keyz named himself after Laney College, a local community college, symbolizing his desire to better himself and triumph over street life. Although he’s lived a life full of hardships in Oakland, he strives for more and his music reflects that. Laney started his music career behind the scenes, making ends meet as an audio engineer before starting to write songs for some notable West Coast artists. After years of working on his craft, the rapper started to release music of his own in Summer 2020, gathering buzz with loose singles and by recording his own freestyles over popular beats, including Travis Scott’s “FRANCHISE” and DaBaby’s “Blind.” Laney Keyz made noise earlier this year with the globe-trotting Russia,” the flossy trap ballad Knockout,” Colorful Sh*t,” which features an appearance from Lil Yachty, and most recently, “360,” Laney’s high-octane collaboration with Lil Keed.

    Laney Keyz Background:

    Laney Keyz is a slick-talking, smooth, melody-making lyricist on the verge of becoming a household name so early in his career. At just 23 years old, with a smaller discography than most under his belt, Laney Keyz has found a way to reach a subset of rap fans who’ve immediately clung to his music, image, and aesthetic, in ways that artists who’ve been in the industry for triple the time that he has haven’t been able to. He’s a prodigy with an inspiring story for anyone looking to pursue their dreams.

    Case Closed: Young Dolph & Key Glock Are Trap’s Best Duo

    The Song:

    Bouncing boss-life bars off one another with palpable chemistry, Young Dolph and Key Glock are a truly dynamic duo. Coming together with a series of escalating flexes, Dolph & Glock share Case Closed,” a new single. Produced by Paper Route EMPIRE‘s own Bandplay, who combines haunting vox synths with a boss-battle bassline and ominous keys, Dolph and Glock present an irrefutable argument that nobody can rack up or spend bands in the way that they can: “I put VS stones in my glasses/Stuffed a quarter mil in 20s in a mattress/It used to be who get the bomb off the fastest/Now a n**** make millions of ad-libs (yeah yeah!),” intones Dolph. Though they can’t help but boast about their ends, they never forget the circumstances from which they emerged: “Went from sleeping on the floor/Now my jewelry box froze,” rhymes Dolph in the song’s hook. “Case Closed” is the second collab of the year from the Dum & Dummer duo, following Green Light, a highlight single from Dolph’s Rich Slave (Deluxe) album.

    The two Paper Route EMPIRE heavy hitters are preparing for a massive 2021. Dolph has already had a busy year, releasing the deluxe version of his Billboard Top 5-charting Rich Slave album, featuring 8 new tracks like the bombastic single. Large Amounts,” the luxury life anthem “Fast” (“I’ve got a billion dollar future, f*ck yesterday and the past,” asserts Dolph) and the simmering “Buy My Way To Heaven.” Key Glock, meanwhile, racked up 2.6 million views on his flashy video for Off The Porch,” to go along with 1.1 million Spotify streams. Key Glock and Young Dolph connected in 2019 for Dum & Dummer, a full-length collaborative project. Peaking at #8 on the Billboard 200, Dum & Dummer was a deluxe-sized showcase for the duo’s inimitable chemistry and unparalleled flexes. Dum & Dummer inspired a successful joint tour, during which Dolph & Glock sold over 43,000 tickets and sold out shows in multiple markets.

    Stay tuned for updates from Paper Route EMPIRE about imminent Young Dolph and Key Glock releases.
