Action Bronson Announces White Bronco, Coming This Fall

The Queens-Born Multi-Hyphenate Shares Title Track “White Bronco”

9.21.2018

Critical Praise:

“Action Bronson is Mr. Rogers in an XXXL Carhartt T-shirt and Adidas shower slides, blunt dangling from his lips” – The New York Times

“(Bronson’s) music is not only a blast, but undeniably distinctive.” – Pitchfork

“Action has emerged as an absolute force in hip-hop, a man whose presence extends far beyond the mic.” – DJ Booth

The Announcement:

Action Bronson wears a lot of hats, from chef, to TV host, to author, but there’s one label that he likes best: rap star. Preparing his first independent project in years, Action Bronson announces White Bronco. On White Bronco, Bronson reckons with success, throwing himself into his art and fine-tuning his sharp lyrics. The follow-up to 2017’s Blue Chips 7000, White Bronco features production from Bronson’s longtime collaborator Party Supplies, as well as contributions from Knxwledge and Daringer. With a surreal front cover painted by Action Bronson himself, White Bronco arrives later this fall via EMPIRE.

“I’ve been making music for almost 10 years, and now I’m happy to go back to the basics, back to making music without giving a f*ck about what’s going on on the outside,” explains Action Bronson. “I’m liberated, I feel amazing, I’m manifesting my art in my many different mediums. White Bronco is a nice representation of who I am right now. And who I like being. I’m in a happy zone. When people say that Mercury is in retrograde, I call bullshit. Sagittarius always fly high. I don’t get depressed, I’m good. I always find a way out of darkness. I work out. I eat. I make art.”

To accompany the album announcement, Action Bronson shares “White Bronco,” the project’s titular single. Featuring twinkling percussion, jazzy Rhodes piano, and saxophone, “White Bronco” shimmers and swings (“like Tiger in The Masters” – Bronsoliño), as Bronson stacks syllables and culminates in an uplifting refrain: “And I’m just out here living my best life/Whateva, whateva, whateva.” Produced by Daringer, with assistance from The SVU Band, playing sax, keys and bass, “White Bronco” is the album’s thesis statement, painting a picture of Bronson defying gravity to stay afloat in a hostile world.

“The song is a smiley face inside a spider web,” explains Bronson. “The spider web represents omnipresent danger, but I’m very happy despite it.”

A burgeoning media mogul and a celebrated figure in the culture, Action Bronson never stops working. Born Ariyan Arslani, Bronson started his career as a gourmet chef, rapping only as a hobby, until he garnered overwhelmingly positive critical attention with his first mixtape Dr. Lecter, released in 2011. Packing his rhymes with references to fine food, culinary practices, professional wrestling, obscure sports figures, and more, Dr. Lecter and its popular follow-up Blue Chips quickly built Bronson’s reputation as a lyricist. Singing to Atlantic Records through a partnership with VICE, Bronson charted at #7 on Billboard with his major label debut Mr. Wonderful in 2015, which featured the Gold-certified single “Baby Blue,” featuring Chance The Rapper. Since the release of that album, Bronson expanded into filmed media, starting a web-based mini-series for Vice entitled “Action in the Kitchen,” which played off the artist’s love of food and music. The success of “Action in the Kitchen” led to “F*ck, That’s Delicious,” a full-fledged TV series and a flagship show on Viceland, where Bronson travels the world, meeting chefs and cooks and tasting everything from haute cuisine to street vendor favorites. Bronson also released a cookbook of the same name, which spent several weeks on the New York Times Best-Seller list. Bronson expanded his television empire into the realm of the metaphysical with Viceland’s 2017 series “Traveling the Stars: Ancient Aliens with Action Bronson,” and he currently hosts “THE UNTITLED ACTION BRONSON SHOW,“ a free-form talk show on Viceland.

Video: E-40 – “These Days” ft. SOB X RBE

The Rap Legend Teams with a Fellow Vallejo Artist for a Soulful Bay Area Banger

9.21.2018

Critical Praise:

“E-40 is a national treasure” – Stereogum

“Whoever you are, and whatever your low-grade malaise, E-40 is here to banish it. The Bay Area rap forefather is a human exclamation point, a superhero whose power is remaining helplessly in love with his work. E-40 works harder and more joyfully at making great rap music than you or I have ever worked on anything” – Pitchfork

“The Bay Area’s ambassador E-40 is one of those rare veterans in hip-hop that gets better with time.” – Complex

The Video:

An icon of hip-hop and a symbol of self-made success, E-40 is the godfather of Bay Area rap, mentoring and influencing young artists on the scene. Recruiting rising star and fellow Vallejo artist Yhung T.O., E-40 shares the video for “These Days,” a soulful slapper. Rhyming over a horn-drenched ’80s-R&B-indebted shuffle, E-40 lays down some of his most colorful bars, slipping into Spanish in a particularly memorable section: When I’m higher than Pluto, I eat menudo/Pastel de elote, might think I’m an esé/I sleep with my cuete, I’ll leave your ass wete/ Vallejo, Cali-harm-ya, 7-O-siete.” In the video, 40 and T.O. enjoy an Oakland sunset before slipping to the club to spend time with some fine female friends. Premiered by XXL, “These Days” is the fourth high-quality video from The Gift of Gab, following “Wicked,” the Vince Staples– and G Perico-featuring “Ain’t Talkin Bout Nothing,” and the dancehall-inspired “One Night,” featuring Ty Dolla $ign and Konshens.

His 28th solo studio album, and the first of three 2018 albums in the The Definition Series, The Gift of Gab finds 40 flexing his lexicon over high-definition Bay Area beats, wielding his unmatchable signature flow to expand his sonic palette and mutate the mainstream to fit his singular vision. The Gift of Gab is 40’s second album of 2018, following Connected & Respected, a joint album with B-Legit, 40’s cousin and co-founder of The Click. Featuring additional appearances from Kent Jones, Problem, FMB DZ, Sada Baby, and more, The Gift of Gab is available via Sick Wid It Records.

Last week, E-40 embarked on The Gift of Gab Tour. Spanning 21 dates across the west coast, The Gift of Gab Tour features special guests Nef The Pharaoh and OMB Peezy and will offer fans the opportunity to meet 40 at a special Meet & Eat with 40 and Trap Kitchen. Most recently, 40 stole the scene at his hometown Rolling Loud Bay Area festival, bringing out Nef The Pharaoh, P-Lo and Slimmy B of SOB X RBE, and energizing the crowd with performances of recent hits like “Choices” and classics like “Tell Me When to Go.”

Mixtape: Booka600 – Six Summers

The Chicago Rapper and Lil Durk Protégé Shares a Harrowing, Melodic, and Emotional New Album

9.21.2018

The Mixtape:

With his supernatural sense of melody, his harrowing realism, and his aspirational mentality, it isn’t hard to see what Lil Durk sees in Booka600. Opening up a portal into his life on the Chicago streets, Booka600 shares Six Summers, his debut mixtape. Chronicling his come-up from “Chiraq to ChicaGlow,” Six Summers is an eye-opening showcase for the Only The Family rapper, crafting an alluring strain of drill rap that dwells more on positivity and self-improvement than the bleak violence typical of the sub-genre. Featuring an appearance from Lil Durk, Booka’s mentor and label boss, who shows up on mixtape highlight “Studio,” and featuring production from Young Chop and other Chicago heavy-hitters, Six Summers follows two high profile collaborations between Booka and Durk, including “7:30,” which has over 621k plays on YouTube, and “Play Yo Role,” which appears on Lil Durk Presents: Only The Family Involved Vol. 1. Featuring the Young Chop-produced “City of Hec,” which has over 110k views on YouTube, Six Summers arrives via Only The Family and EMPIRE.

Leveling up from a rap star into a rap mogul, Lil Durk introduced his OTF all-stars on Lil Durk Presents: Only The Family Involved Vol. 1, unleashing a crew of fellow melodists and emotional realists. Featuring several brand new songs by Lil Durk, including the Complex-premiered“Remembrance,” the mixtape finds the Chicago native sharing the limelight with his most talented OTF signees, including eccentric trap melodist Yung Tory, heavy-hitter Booka600, warble-voiced drill emcee OTF Ikey, and the aggressive Doodie Lo. An impressively hooky project that conveys the realities of street life with expert songcraft, Lil Durk Presents: Only The Family Involved Vol. 1 finds the labelmates feeding off each others’ styles, relentlessly stacking infectious melodies into verses, hooks, and ad-libs.

Video: Young Dolph – “By Mistake”

The Paper Route EMPIRE Mogul Shares the Latest Visual from Role Model, His New Album Releasing September 21st

9.19.2018

Critical Praise:

“Young Dolph has cultivated that formula that makes the bando jump” – XXL

“What makes Dolph exemplary is his affinity for memorable hooks and catchy call-and-response punch lines” – Complex

“King of Memphis is worth myriad repeat listens: Dolph bridges the gap between his hometown and the Atlanta production that dominates rap’s mainstream.” – SPIN

Top 10 Hip-Hop Cash Prince of 2016 – Forbes

“Start paying attention to Young Dolph before you look stupid as shit,” – Noisey

The Video:

One of the most popular independent rappers in the game, Young Dolph demands attention with his outsized personality unparalleled shine. Showing off his camo-colored Ferrari and his latest female friend, Dolph lives a boss life in “By Mistake,” his latest video. A bombastic trap heater, “By Mistake” finds Dolph yelping excited ad-libs and perfecting his outlandish boasts: “I just smash, I don’t kiss/Hit the gas, I’m in the whip/Hate to brag, but I’m the shit.” In the video, Dolph defies an undercover police officer, does some business, and takes a tour of Memphis’s cheapest fast food establishments in his most expensive car. “By Mistake” is the latest single from Role Model, Dolph’s first full-length of 2018, following “Major,” featuring Key Glock. Distributed by Paper Route EMPIRE, Role Model arrives on September 21st.

Carrying the momentum from a tumultuous, yet monstrously successful 2017 that included three full-length releases and two near-death experiences, Young Dolph is firing on all cylinders in 2018. Dolph kicked off the year with the defiant N****s Get Shot Everyday EP, an adrenaline rush of a six-track project that contrasts Dolph’s luxurious life with the dangers that come from being the industry’s most fearlessly honest emcee. Earlier this summer, Dolph shared the epic video for “Slave Owner,” which drew inspiration from Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained and took an exaggerated look at the relationship between artists and record labels, positing label execs as slave owners and comparing signed artists to Samuel L. Jackson’s Uncle Tom character from the film. One week later, Dolph stole the show at Miami’s Rolling Loud Festival, making national headlines when he brought onstage two Duke University baristas, who were fired for playing his music, paid them $20,000 cash, and led them and the audience in a rousing rendition of his hit (and the song Duke University deemed to be a fireable offense) “Get Paid.” With a massive, loyal fanbase and a ceaseless work ethic, Young Dolph strides into the next chapter of his career in style.

Young Dolph Background

Born on the South Side of Chicago and raised in notoriously known Castalia Heights neighborhood in South Memphis, Young Dolph emerged in the urban music scene and amassed a large dedicated fan base.

Dolph grew up in a hectic environment, surrounded by drugs and alcohol, but that never completely defined him. He always had a passion for music, but it wasn’t until his peers recognized his talent and suggested that he take rap seriously. Eventually his hustle mentality and creativity led him to consistently dropping mixtape after mixtape. With authentic punch lines and stern club bangers, he created his own lane of High Class Street Music.

On the strength of releasing consistent quality mixtapes, Dolph became one of the only independent musicians to have multiple Top 20 records with “Cut It,” “Preach,” “California” and Top 40 records with “Make the World Go Around” and “Pulled Up.” Yet to release an album, the success Dolph has gained from his mixtapes have led to collaborations with some of the most influential artists in hip-hop including 2 Chainz,Juicy J, Young Jeezy, and Rick Ross. In 2015, Dolph headlined his own tour selling out throughout the country. – HotNewHipHop

Video: OMB Peezy – “Mind of Overkill”

The Sick Wid It/300 Ent. Signee Gets Confessional in a Charismatic New Clip Off Loyalty Over Love

9.17.2018

Critical Praise:

“[OMB Peezy] is tough but melodic, with a youthfully urgent voice and production that’s indebted to Louisiana and California.” – New York Times

“Peezy’s impassioned flow makes the circumstances he’s discussing feel visceral and immediate as a listener; there’s nothing impressionistic about his bars” – Pigeons and Planes

“This kid from Alabama is the future of rap.” – The FADER

The Video:

With an uncommon command of deep-feeling southern rap music, OMB Peezy is wise far beyond his years. Delivering an affecting mission statement, OMB Peezy bares his soul in the video for “Mind of Overkill,” premiered by L.A. Leakers. A tuneful and intelligent rumination on the ghosts of Peezy’s past, “Mind of Overkill” finds the young rapper soaring above a gorgeous production from Drum Dummy, who adorns the track with spiritual blues piano. “Mind of Overkill” is a succinct summary of Peezy’s life and career up to this point, with a probing eye on the past and the future, which makes it the ideal closing track for Loyalty Over Love, Peezy’s recently released mixtape. Earlier this summer, Peezy treated fans to another revealing glimpse when he shared Behind The Title: Loyalty Over Love, a new FADER-premiered mini-doc that explains the main themes behind the album.

Nearly two years after his debut single “Lay Down” put Peezy on the map, the motormouthed emcee shares Loyalty Over Love, his debut solo full-length mixtape. Stuffed with glistening Dirty South instrumentals, Loyalty Over Love is the culmination of Peezy’s rise, with sharp lyrics about his life as a rising star and his struggles with the legal system. Whether he’s seething at inept law enforcement on the previously released and Noisey-premiered “Fuck My P.O.,” fiercely asserting his individuality and independence within an oppressive system on “Souljah Life Mentality,” enjoying the spoils of his success in the TK Kravitz-featuring “Yeah Yeah,” mourning lost friends in “My Dawg,” recently given the music video treatment to the tune of 223k views on YouTube, or paying tribute to the West Coast with the Dr. Dre-referencing and Donny Hathaway-sampling “Ghetto Boy.” Peezy is a magnetic presence, weaving his threats and boasts around hot instrumentals. Featuring additional appearances from Mozzy, Paper Lovee, and OMB Iceberg, Loyalty Over Love arrives via Sick Wid It Records/300 Ent.

The Background

Born in Alabama, the 20-year-old Peezy moved to the west coast when he was 12, developing a reputation as a rap prodigy, building a following on YouTube, and gaining the respect of the new wave of Bay Area artists such as Nef The Pharaoh and legends such as E-40. In 2017, OMB Peezy parlayed his grassroots local fanbase into a national following, earning millions of combined streams on his singles like the virally popular hits“When I Was Down,” “Porch,” and “Lay Down,” which Pigeons & Planes listed at #14 in their halftime list of Best Songs of 2017 and which Passion of the Weiss listed as their #19 for the year. In October, Peezy shared his debut project Humble Beginnings, a slap-heavy six-pack produced in full by Grammy-nominated producer Cardo Got Wingz (Kendrick Lamar, Jeezy, Meek Mill) and released by Sick Wid It/300 Ent. Peezy also toured throughout 2017, supporting Detroit artist Tee Grizzley in the fall and accompanying SOB x RBE on a national tour in the spring. In January, Peezy shared Young & Reckless, a joint mixtape with Peezy’s 300 Ent. labelmate Sherwood Marty, which proved that Peezy’s excellent run of 2017 singles was no fluke.

Mixtape: Flippa – Up To Something

The Respected ATL Trapper Releases His First Project Since 2017’s Flippa McFadden 2 and Shares an Action-Packed Video for “Been Through It”

9.14.2018

Critical Praise for Flippa:

“…one of the most respected lyricists in the Atlanta rap scene.” – XXL

“Skippa Da Flippa [is] the most lyrically talented unknown to come from the trap.” – HipHopDX

“I don’t understand how somebody could not be a fan.” – GreatFrank’sPlace

The Video:

Twisting his nimble flow around skittering productions, ATL’s Flippa (fka Skippa Da Flippa) is an influential trap figure. Returning after a yearlong absence with a 13-track project packed with pearls of wisdom, Flippa shares Up To Something. Packed with twinkling trap productions from the likes of June Jamez, ILoveMuny, Iceberg Beatz, Yung Lan, and more, Flippa exudes an effortless pathos, his street stories enhanced by his gruff microphone presence. The follow-up to 2017’s Flippa McFadden 2, Up To Something is a reflective and triumphant effort, as the Florida-born rapper flashes a rapidfire triplet flow on “No N***a Like Me,” spins a candy-trap banger with the spritely “Want A Bag,” and shows his softer side and his charming singing voice on the for-the-ladies jam “Slide On Me.” Featuring an appearance from Sauce Havin, Up To Something arrives via Havin / BMG Rights Management.

To accompany the release of Up To Something, Flippa shares the video for “Been Through It,” a highlight from the project. Ferociously attacking a haunting and minimal instrumental, marked by eerie church organ and subterranean bass, Flippa recounts the things he’s seen and the things he’s prepared to do to keep his lofty perch in the hood. In the video, Flippa returns to the site of a previous heist, digging up a briefcase full of cash before fleeing a pair of armed assailants. Premiered by HipHopSince1987, “Been Through It” is the second video from Up To Something, the rapper’s upcoming mixtape, following poolside clip for the spacey and triumphant “Don’t Play Me,” which has over 452k plays on YouTube.

Born and raised in Palm Beach, Florida, the rapper formerly known as Skippa Da Flippa moved to Atlanta when he was 13 years old. Shortly after arriving in ATL, Flippa made the acquaintance of Quavo and Takeoff, two future members of Migos. Flippa, Quavo, Takeoff, and later Offset, spent their youths rapping in abandoned houses, developing a reputation as the best rappers in their neighborhood. Inspired by the success of Migos, Flippa began to think of his rapping more as a career than a hobby, dropping I’m Havin, his first project for Quality Control Records, in 2014. Featuring guest appearances from all three members of Migos and production from the likes of Murda Beatz and Cassius Jay, I’m Havin’ was an overnight success, leading to heavy regional buzz and a successful tour. In 2015, Migos and Flippa recorded a track about a dance move that Flippa pioneered a couple years earlier: the Dab. Performed by everyone from Cam Newton to Hillary Clinton, the Dab grew into a massive worldwide dance craze. Since then, Flippa’s profile continued to rise, appearing on Lil Yachty’s massive “Minnesota” in 2016 and growing his Spotify fanbase to over 200,000 monthly listeners.

The Background:

Flippa (fka Skippa Da Flippa) may not yet be a household name, but his presence has been ubiquitous for years as both an ATLien OG and the inventor of the dab. Hailing from Florida, Skippa grew up in a two-bedroom apartment with three sisters, four brothers and two cousins, along with his mother and father. Every day was spent trying to get by—“We were trying to get up out the goddamn ‘hood,” he says—and though he soaked up more localized music like Pitbull and Gucci Mane, he didn’t think of art as an escape. It wasn’t until he moved to Atlanta around the age of 16 and met Migos’ Quavo, Offset and Takeoff that he started to take rapping seriously. A staple on their projects, they recorded music while he was signed to the Florida-based Quality Control that yielded smash singles like “Trenchez” and “Safe House.”

Over the past few years, he’s parlayed his Migos co-sign into a fruitful solo career, from releasing a string of mixtapes to dropping verses on hits like Lil Yachty’s “Minnesota (Remix),” Migos and Young Thug’s “Crime Stoppers,” and Jose Guapo’s “Run It Up.” Along with his high-profile features, Skippa has cultivated an impressive workflow, dropping five mixtapes in the last three years. From I’m Havin’ (which got almost 750,000 hits on Live Mixtapes upon release) and 2015’s Flippa McFadden, to last year’s I’m Havin’ 2 and I’m Tellin Ya, the latter featuring guest appearances from Young Thug, Juicy J and Trouble, Skippa’s grind has yet to show signs of slowing. His next project, Up To Something, comes out this fall.

Video: Kazzie – “Dangerous”

The Versatile Rising Star Mobs in the Projects in the Latest Clip From Kazzie & The Wavy Bunch, Premiered by HipHopSince1987

9.14.2018

The Video:

A chameleonic flow artist with an uncommon sense of pop melody, New Jersey artist Kazzie is one to watch on the East Coast. Rocking an appealing auto-tune over dramatic piano chords, Kazzie shares “Dangerous,” his statement of purpose. Recalling his come-up and his youth on the streets, Kazzie warns rival emcees that he’s not to be messed with: “You know I ain’t changed/I come from the street, so you know I speak that language/Riding with that pistol, if you try me Imma bang it/I come from the gutter so I’m riding with the gangstas.” Premiered by HipHopSince1987, “Dangerous” is the latest in a standout line of videos from Kazzie & The Wavy Bunch,  following the CupcaKKe-featuring “Ass & Titties” and the Music on The Dot-premiered “Going Nowhere,” which featured an appearance from Dreezy.

Showing off his versatile style and his skills as a collaborator, Kazzie & The Wavy Bunch is an accomplished ten-track new mixtape. On the new mixtape, Kazzie demonstrating his electric chemistry with a cadre of rising female emcees, as he harmonizes with Rico Nasty on “Think I’m In Love,” talks tough with Molly Brazy on “With It,” and shows off with Renni Rucci on “Mad Or What.” Released in late August, Kazzie & The Wavy Bunch finds Kazzie adapting his style to fit his collaborators, shifting the production, style, and subject matter to best fit his current collaborator. Arriving via SLS Entertainment, Kazzie & The Wavy Bunch is a fascinating concept record and an excellent intro to the wavy world of Kazzie.

Video: Always Never – “Wylin'”

Generating Over 700,000 Streams Per Month on Spotify Alone, “Wylin'” is a Fan Favorite From the Toronto R&B Duo’s Recent Self-Titled Album

09.12.2018

Critical Praise:

“Always Never just released their first single, ‘Call Me Over,’ paired with two more glossy and exultant tracks. It’s hard not to think of the mystery of early Weeknd watching their debut video, an ambiguous and blown-out clip that only gives away so much.” – The FADER

The Video:

Specializing in dark sonics and emotional songwriting, Toronto duo Always Never is the latest high-definition future R&B act to obsess over. Chronicling a turbulent and torrid affair with their trademark heft, Always Never found themselves a viral hit when they released “Wylin'” in 2017, earning over 7 million combined streams on the track. Today, the duo of Patrick Kirschner and Dean Guilbault shares the long-awaited music video for “Wylin’,” directed by Kid Studio (The Weeknd, 6lack, Big Sean), bringing the song’s central story to life. Touring late night Toronto in a vintage coupe, vocalist Patrick pines after a blonde-haired beauty as he sings about how she’s done him wrong, all under cover of colorful smoke and neon lights that perfectly complement Dean’s production. Though the video starts off romantically, it takes a violent turn, as the protagonist grows vengeful and lovesick after catching his lover in a tryst. “Wylin'” is the duo’s first-ever music video and the latest release off Always Never, their debut album.

Collecting 14 story-driven and deeply textured cloud R&B jams, Always Never stands within and apart from the busy Toronto urban music scene, setting itself apart from the crowd with delicate and nuanced vocal performances floating over bass-heavy, yet somehow light-as-a-feather productions. The follow-up to 2017’s Call Me Over EP, the new album boasts previously released tracks such as the recent “Dangerous,” which has over 300k combined plays since its release in July, as well as popular singles  “Millions,” “No Good,”“Morgan Freeman,” and “Know This,” recently showcased by Khloe Kardashian on her Instagram.

Always Never is a mysterious, Toronto-based artist/producer duo–a project conceived online with the expressed purpose of making a modern soundtrack for the surreal hours between leaving the club and the first rays of sun.  They released “Tragedy” as the end product of Dean’s final exam at audio engineering school only to see the track go viral on SoundCloud, then Apple Music and Spotify without any playlist support. Their next single, “Wylin’,” turned even more heads, earning coverage from Genius and gaining prominent placement in Spotify’s All The Feels (1.2M followers), Mellow Bars (680K Followers) and Alternative R&B (703k followers) playlists. With “Wylin'” earning more than 700,000 streams per month on Spotify alone, Always Never demonstrates the formidable artistry that turns a buzzing singles artist into a respected act. See Always Never live in their first public performance at The Mod Club in Toronto on October 10th.

Video: Lil Durk – “No Auto Durk”

The Chicago Street Hero Drops the Auto-Tune and Forsakes Melody For Bars in This Lyrical Workout Over the Beat from G Herbo’s “Never Cared”

9.11.2018

Critical Praise:

“Unshackled from any kind of outline, Durk’s pen game shines. His rise was dotted with blood-soaked tales that summarized much of drill’s appeal: ground-level glimpses at Chicago’s South Side that colored in the outline offered by grim murder statistics.” –Pitchfork

“Lil Durk continues to be one of the most consistent rappers out.” – The FADER

“the rose that blossomed from the concrete of Chi-Town’s drill music scene” – Billboard

The Video:

One of the most acclaimed and successful alumni of Chicago’s drill movement, Lil Durk combines rhythm, lyricism, and melody into a style that’s all his own. Forsaking his usual auto-tune acrobatics, Durk strips down on “No Auto Durk,” a no-nonsense lyrical workout. Adopting a halting flow above the eerie instrumental from G Herbo‘s “Never Cared,” Durk silences critics who decry his rhyming skills, proving that he does not need to flex his considerable melodic muscles to be a great rapper: “Never cared so much, ran out the woods to pass the dutch/Your homies died, you’ll never slide, it ain’t addin’ up/Get caught with a pipe, get out same night, you fed or what?” “No Auto Durk” is another step on the road to Signed to the Streets 3, hitting stores this fall, following the Future-featuring single “Spin The Block.”

A tireless and prolific emcee, Lil Durk has already had a busy 2018. Leveling up from a rap star into a rap mogul, Lil Durk introduced his OTF all-stars on Lil Durk Presents: Only The Family Involved Vol. 1, unleashing a crew of fellow melodists and emotional realists. Featuring several brand new songs by Lil Durk, including the Complex-premiered“Remembrance,” the mixtape finds the Chicago native sharing the limelight with his most talented OTF signees, including eccentric trap melodist Yung Tory, heavy-hitter Booka600, warble-voiced drill emcee OTF Ikey, and the aggressive Doodie Lo. An impressively hooky project that conveys the realities of street life with expert songcraft, Lil Durk Presents: Only The Family Involved Vol. 1 finds the labelmates feeding off each others’ styles, relentlessly stacking infectious melodies into verses, hooks, and ad-libs. Featuring the dramatic and emotional single  “Play Yo Role,” Lil Durk Presents Only The Family Involved Vol. 1 is available to stream via EMPIRE.

In March, he released his first project since departing Def Jam, Just Cause Y’all Waited, an important transitional record for Durk. Praised by Pitchfork, who wrote “Lil Durk writes about Chicago the way Joan Didion once captured California,” Just Cause Y’all Waited features tracks such as the buzzing “1-773 Vulture,” a street remix to Logic’s hit single “1-800-273-8255” that reached the 9 million view mark on YouTube, and the Lil Baby-featuring lead single “How I Know,” which earned prominent placement on Spotify’s Most Necessary playlist. Featuring additional appearances from PartyNextDoor, Ty Dolla $ign, Gunna, and TK Kravitz, and with production from 808 Mafia and others, Just Cause Y’all Waited EP is a formidable appetizer for Signed to the Streets 3, due later this year. Lil Durk turned heads when he performed his hits in a prime time slot, and later joined Tee Grizzley onstage at the Rolling Loud Festival in Miami (catch a few clips from this performance and from backstage in the “Remembrance” video).

Song: Flippa – “Been Through It”

The Influential ATL Trapper and Frequent Migos Collaborator, Formerly Known as Skippa Da Flippa, Shares the Latest Single From His Forthcoming Up To Something Mixtape

9.10.2018

Critical Praise for Flippa:

“…one of the most respected lyricists in the Atlanta rap scene.” – XXL

“Skippa Da Flippa [is] the most lyrically talented unknown to come from the trap.” – HipHopDX

“I don’t understand how somebody could not be a fan.” – GreatFrank’sPlace

The Song:

Flippa‘s gruff demeanor, realist lyrics, and dexterous flow sets him apart in the crowded ATL trap game. Reflecting on his past trials and tribulations, Flippa proves that he’s no rookie in the rap game on “Been Through It.” Ferociously attacking a haunting and minimal instrumental, marked by eerie church organ and subterranean bass, Flippa recounts the things he’s seen and the things he’s prepared to do to keep his lofty perch in the hood. “Been Through It” is the second single from Up To Something, the rapper’s upcoming mixtape, following the spacey and triumphant “Don’t Play Me.” Up To Something hits all DSPs on September 14th.

Born and raised in Palm Beach, Florida, the rapper formerly known as Skippa Da Flippa moved to Atlanta when he was 13 years old. Shortly after arriving in ATL, Flippa made the acquaintance of Quavo and Takeoff, two future members of Migos.

Video: E-40 – “One Night'” ft. Ty Dolla $ign & Konshens

The Hip-Hop Legend Goes Dumb In His Natural Habitat in the Latest Clip from The Gift of Gab, As He Continues His West Coast Tour

Critical Praise:

“E-40 is a national treasure” – Stereogum

“Whoever you are, and whatever your low-grade malaise, E-40 is here to banish it. The Bay Area rap forefather is a human exclamation point, a superhero whose power is remaining helplessly in love with his work. E-40 works harder and more joyfully at making great rap music than you or I have ever worked on anything” – Pitchfork

“The Bay Area’s ambassador E-40 is one of those rare veterans in hip-hop that gets better with time.” – Complex

The Video:

Enjoying unprecedented success in his fourth decade of rap stardom, E-40 shares the Caribbean-inflected video for “One Night.” Riding bouncy, square wave synths over stuttering drums, 40 delivers an addictive club jam with the new single, featuring an infectious hook from dancehall singer Konshens, a passionate verse from Ty Dolla $ign, and some ferocious bars from the man himself, setting the scene for his night out: “Drunker than a motherfucker/High as a kite/Strawberry kush/tequila and sprite/Got in with my cig/Snuck in with my stick/’What you mean a stick?’/Extended clip.” The video portrays a vivid scene of late-night debauchery, with the three artists enjoying the company of beautiful women under neon lights.

Last week, the prolific hip-hop legend shared The Gift of Gab, his 28th solo studio album, and the first of three 2018 albums in the The Definition Series. On the new album, 40 flexes his lexicon over high-definition Bay Area beats, wielding his unmatchable signature flow to expand his sonic palette and mutate the mainstream to fit his singular vision. Prior to “One Night,” the Yay Area’s most famous rapper shared videos for “Wicked” and “Ain’t Talking Bout Nothin,” which boasts guest spots from Vince Staples and G Perico. Featuring additional appearances from Ty Dolla $ign, Kent Jones, Yhung T.O., Problem, FMB DZ, Sada Baby, Konshens and more, The Gift of Gab is available via Sick Wid It Records.

Last week, E-40 embarked on The Gift of Gab Tour. Spanning 21 dates across the west coast, The Gift of Gab Tour features special guests Nef The Pharaoh and OMB Peezy and will offer fans the opportunity to meet 40 at a special Meet & Eat with 40 and Trap Kitchen. Buy tickets here.

An unstoppable force in the rap game, E-40 churns out charting albums with remarkable efficiency. Earlier this year, the rapper teamed up with B-Legit, his cousin and with 40, a co-founder of seminal rap group The Click, for Connected & Respected, a full-length collaborative album. Packed with classic Bay Area slappers like the P-Lo-featuring dancefloor jam “BOY,” Connected & Respected is a master-class in rhyming and a treatise to the importance of keeping it in the family. In addition to his prolific musical output and his frequent courtside appearances at Golden State Warriors games, E-40 is an accomplished businessman in the adult beverage industry, hitting it big with his Earl Stevens Selections line of wine, his best-selling mixed cocktail drink Sluricane, and most recently, E. Cuarenta, his new brand of premium tequila. E-40 continues to add to his legacy with The Gift of Gab, plus two more albums soon.

Video: Only The Family – “7:30” ft. Booka600 & Lil Durk

The Chicago Rapper and Only The Family Chieftain Joins with a Rising Signee For an Anthemic Track and Black-and-White Video

9.5.2018

Critical Praise:

“Unshackled from any kind of outline, Durk’s pen game shines. His rise was dotted with blood-soaked tales that summarized much of drill’s appeal: ground-level glimpses at Chicago’s South Side that colored in the outline offered by grim murder statistics.” –Pitchfork

“Lil Durk continues to be one of the most consistent rappers out.” – The FADER

“the rose that blossomed from the concrete of Chi-Town’s drill music scene” – Billboard

The Video:

Turning out memorable melodies and carefully crafted street anthems at a prolific clip, Lil Durk evolved from a controversial upstart into one of the most respected hitmakers in rap. Recruiting one of the standout emcees from his Only The Family label, Durk connects with Booka600 for the spritely and anthemic “7:30.” A moving tale of rags-to-riches, “7:30” finds the two emcees wailing in auto-tune over a bouncy piano instrumental, channeling their deepest pains into the new album. With over 300k views since its release over the long weekend, “7:30” is one of the standout tracks from Lil Durk Presents: Only The Family Involved Vol. 1, a compilation mixtape featuring Durk and the heavy hitters on his boutique label, released earlier in the Summer.

Leveling up from a rap star into a rap mogul, Lil Durk introduced his OTF all-stars on Lil Durk Presents: Only The Family Involved Vol. 1, unleashing a crew of fellow melodists and emotional realists. Featuring several brand new songs by Lil Durk, including the Complex-premiered“Remembrance,” the mixtape finds the Chicago native sharing the limelight with his most talented OTF signees, including eccentric trap melodist Yung Tory, heavy-hitter Booka600, warble-voiced drill emcee OTF Ikey, and the aggressive Doodie Lo. An impressively hooky project that conveys the realities of street life with expert songcraft, Lil Durk Presents: Only The Family Involved Vol. 1 finds the labelmates feeding off each others’ styles, relentlessly stacking infectious melodies into verses, hooks, and ad-libs. Featuring the dramatic and emotional single  “Play Yo Role,” Lil Durk Presents Only The Family Involved Vol. 1 is available to stream via EMPIRE.

A tireless and prolific emcee, Lil Durk has already had a busy 2018. In March, he released his first project since departing Def Jam, Just Cause Y’all Waited, an important transitional record for Durk. Praised by Pitchfork, who wrote “Lil Durk writes about Chicago the way Joan Didion once captured California,” Just Cause Y’all Waited features tracks such as the buzzing “1-773 Vulture,” a street remix to Logic’s hit single “1-800-273-8255” that reached the 9 million view mark on YouTube, and the Lil Baby-featuring lead single “How I Know,” which earned prominent placement on Spotify’s Most Necessary playlist. Featuring additional appearances from PartyNextDoor, Ty Dolla $ign, Gunna, and TK Kravitz, and with production from 808 Mafia and others, Just Cause Y’all Waited EP is a formidable appetizer for Signed to the Streets 3, due later this year. Lil Durk turned heads when he performed his hits in a prime time slot, and later joined Tee Grizzley onstage at the Rolling Loud Festival in Miami (catch a few clips from this performance and from backstage in the “Remembrance” video).

Video: Flippa – “Don’t Play Me”

The ATL Rapper and Dab Originator Shares a Video for a Bubbly Highlight From the Upcoming Up To Something Mixtape

9.4.2018

Critical Praise for Flippa:

“…one of the most respected lyricists in the Atlanta rap scene.” – XXL

“Skippa Da Flippa [is] the most lyrically talented unknown to come from the trap.” – HipHopDX

“I don’t understand how somebody could not be a fan.” – GreatFrank’sPlace

The Video:

With a gruff voice and a rapidfire flow, Flippa (formerly known as Skippa Da Flippa) is one of the most unheralded pioneers in the ATL rap game. Sharing a breezy video for a spritely new track, Flippa shares “Don’t Play Me,” his latest video. Radiating triumph with undertones of melancholy, Flippa asserts his superiority on the track, dancing above airy piano chords. In the video, Flippa pops bubbly with a cadre of models, chilling by the pool as day turns to dusk turns to night. “Don’t Play Me” is the lead single from Up To Something, Flippa’s upcoming project. The follow-up to 2017’s Flippa McFadden 2, Up To Something finds Flippa wringing pathos out of luscious trap production with his aggressive flow and down-to-earth lyricism.

Born and raised in Palm Beach, Florida, the rapper formerly known as Skippa Da Flippa moved to Atlanta when he was 13 years old. Shortly after arriving in ATL, Flippa made the acquaintance of Quavo and Takeoff, two future members of Migos. Flippa, Quavo, Takeoff, and later Offset, spent their youths rapping in abandoned houses, developing a reputation as the best rappers in their neighborhood. Inspired by the success of Migos, Flippa began to think of his rapping more as a career than a hobby, dropping I’m Havin, his first project for Quality Control Records, in 2014. Featuring guest appearances from all three members of Migos and production from the likes of Murda Beatz and Cassius Jay, I’m Havin’ was an overnight success, leading to heavy regional buzz and a successful tour. In 2015, Migos and Flippa recorded a track about a dance move that Flippa pioneered a couple years earlier: the Dab. Performed by everyone from Cam Newton to Hillary Clinton, the Dab grew into a massive worldwide dance craze. Since then, Flippa’s profile continued to rise, appearing on Lil Yachty’s massive “Minnesota” in 2016 and growing his Spotify fanbase to over 200,000 monthly listeners.

Flippa Background:

Skippa Da Flippa may not yet be a household name, but his presence has been ubiquitous for years as both an ATLien OG and the inventor of the dab. Hailing from Florida, Skippa grew up in a two-bedroom apartment with three sisters, four brothers and two cousins, along with his mother and father. Every day was spent trying to get by—“We were trying to get up out the goddamn ‘hood,” he says—and though he soaked up more localized music like Pitbull and Gucci Mane, he didn’t think of art as an escape. It wasn’t until he moved to Atlanta around the age of 16 and met Migos’ Quavo, Offset and Takeoff that he started to take rapping seriously. A staple on their projects, they recorded music while he was signed to the Florida-based Quality Control that yielded smash singles like “Trenchez” and “Safe House.”

Over the past few years, he’s parlayed his Migos co-sign into a fruitful solo career, from releasing a string of mixtapes to dropping verses on hits like Lil Yachty’s “Minnesota (Remix),” Migos and Young Thug’s “Crime Stoppers,” and Jose Guapo’s “Run It Up.” Along with his high-profile features, Skippa has cultivated an impressive workflow, dropping five mixtapes in the last three years. From I’m Havin’ (which got almost 750,000 hits on Live Mixtapes upon release) and 2015’s Flippa McFadden, to last year’s I’m Havin’ 2 and I’m Tellin Ya, the latter featuring guest appearances from Young Thug, Juicy J and Trouble, Skippa’s grind has yet to show signs of slowing. His next project, Up To Something, comes out this fall.

Young Dolph To Release Role Model Album Sept 21 via Paper Route EMPIRE

The Fiercely Independent Memphis Rapper Announces Role Model, Out 9/21, Shares Lead Single “Major”

9.4.2018

Critical Praise:

“Young Dolph has cultivated that formula that makes the bando jump” – XXL

“What makes Dolph exemplary is his affinity for memorable hooks and catchy call-and-response punch lines” – Complex

“King of Memphis is worth myriad repeat listens: Dolph bridges the gap between his hometown and the Atlanta production that dominates rap’s mainstream.” – SPIN

Top 10 Hip-Hop Cash Prince of 2016 – Forbes

“Start paying attention to Young Dolph before you look stupid as shit,” – Noisey

The Video:

Today, Young Dolph announces his upcoming album, Role Model, to be released on September 21st via the label he co-founded, Paper Route EMPIRE.  A sly commentary on his industry stature as a pre-eminent independent rapper, Role Modelprovides a new context for Dolph’s braggadocio and proves that he does not need a big label to stand as a titan in the rap game. Taking shots at labels and oppressive industry bigwigs, Dolph triumphantly asserts his supremacy on the first single, “Major,”which features PRE artist Key Glock. “4s on the Mercedes, that’s major/Whole gang going crazy, that’s major/Millions on the table, that’s major/I turned dirt into diamonds, that’s major.”

Elaborating on his album title, Dolph says, “A role model is someone you can look to for guidance in certain areas. I’m a role model for this independent shit and I want all these young black kids to be inspired to get a hustle where they can own their own shit and create something with their own minds and creativity and become even better at it than their role model. He further explains the mood of the album, “It’s a super creative album, the most creative trap album ever put out. I’ve even got a song on there where I’m rapping and my mom is playing the piano. The album is hard as a motherf*cker.”

Carrying the momentum from a tumultuous, yet monstrously successful 2017 that included three full-length releases and two near-death experiences, Young Dolph is firing on all cylinders in 2018. Dolph kicked off the year with the defiant N****s Get Shot Everyday EP, an adrenaline rush of a six-track project that contrasts Dolph’s luxurious life with the dangers that come from being the industry’s most fearlessly honest emcee. Earlier this summer, Dolph shared the epic video for “Slave Owner,” which drew inspiration from Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained and took an exaggerated look at the relationship between artists and record labels, positing label execs as slave owners and comparing signed artists to Samuel L. Jackson’s Uncle Tom character from the film. One week later, Dolph stole the show at Miami’s Rolling Loud Festival, making national headlines when he brought onstage two Duke University baristas, who were fired for playing his music, paid them $20,000 cash, and led them and the audience in a rousing rendition of his hit (and the song Duke University deemed to be a fireable offense) “Get Paid.” With a massive, loyal fanbase and a ceaseless work ethic, Young Dolph strides into the next chapter of his career in style.

Young Dolph Background

Born on the South Side of Chicago and raised in notoriously known Castalia Heights neighborhood in South Memphis, Young Dolph emerged in the urban music scene and amassed a large dedicated fan base.

Dolph grew up in a hectic environment, surrounded by drugs and alcohol, but that never completely defined him. He always had a passion for music, but it wasn’t until his peers recognized his talent and suggested that he take rap seriously. Eventually his hustle mentality and creativity led him to consistently dropping mixtape after mixtape. With authentic punch lines and stern club bangers, he created his own lane of High Class Street Music.

On the strength of releasing consistent quality mixtapes, Dolph became one of the only independent musicians to have multiple Top 20 records with “Cut It,” “Preach,” “California” and Top 40 records with “Make the World Go Around” and “Pulled Up.” Yet to release an album, the success Dolph has gained from his mixtapes have led to collaborations with some of the most influential artists in hip-hop including 2 Chainz,Juicy J, Young Jeezy, and Rick Ross. In 2015, Dolph headlined his own tour selling out throughout the country. – HotNewHipHop

Mixtape: SahBabii – Squidtastic

The Slaughter Gang Affiliate Shares a Set of Brightly Colored Trap Music for the Late Summer

08.30.2018

Critical Praise for SahBabii:

“SahBabii’s ‘Pull Up Wit Ah Stick,’ one of the best hip-hop songs of the past year, is a study in contrasts, full of tough talk delivered in a sweet, lithe, almost naïve voice. – The New York Times

“SahBabii may echo Young Thug, but he clearly possesses a giddy gift for integrating that influence into his own bright-eyed, delicately constructed singles” – Rolling Stone

“With his debut mixtape SANDAS, (SahBabii) created a bright and fun-as-hell sexcapade soundscape of a universe you can float through.” – The FADER

The Mixtape:

Blending tough-talking lyrics with sugary and bright sonics, SahBabii creates an infectiously melodic brand of trap music. Returning with his first full-length since 2017’s popular S.A.N.D.A.S., SahBabii shares Squidtastic, his wavy new mixtape. With candy-coated production courtesy of his brother T3, among others, Squidtastic is a collection of distinct sonic worlds, bouncing from the liquid metal churn of “Behind Da Scenes,” to Latin guitars on “Army,” to laid-back Neosoul on “Sunny Days.” Deftly inhabiting the varied instrumentals with an understated and intoxicating presence, SahBabii levels up his songwriting ability on the new mixtape, nearing the rarified territory of mentors like 21 Savage and Young Thug. Further refining the rapper’s aqueous trap aesthetic, Squidtastic arrives via SahBabii’s own Casting Bait Music Group.

Blending influences from all over the rap spectrum into a signature concoction, SahBabii is one of the most respected young emcees in the ATL scene. After releasing relatively unheralded mixtapes in 2013 and 2015, the trap game finally caught up to SahBabii in 2017, when he released “Pull Up Wit Ah Stick,” featuring fellow ATL upstart Loso Loaded. The song caught fire with hip-hop’s cognoscenti, including Drake, who posted about the song on social media, and T-Pain, Fetty Wap, and Wiz Khalifa, who recorded remixes. With over 48 million views on YouTube and 29 million plays on Spotify, “Pull Up Wit Ah Stick” was one of the biggest sleeper hits of the year. Since “Pull Up Wit Ah Stick,” SahBabii has grown into one of ATL’s stalwarts, releasing the acclaimed mixtape S.A.N.D.A.S. in summer 2017, scoring a sync on season 2 of FX’s Atlanta with “Marsupial Superstars,” and scoring a follow-up hit with “Outstanding,” featuring 21 Savage, which has over 7 million plays on Spotify and landed on the service’s Rap Caviar playlist.

SahBabii Background:

Perseverance and a distinctive way with light melodies pushed SahBabii out of the Atlanta rap underground. Born Saaheem Valdery, SahBabii was raised in Chicago until the age of 13, when his family moved south. Inspired by the activity in his new environment — especially the output of Young Thug — SahBabii made tentative steps with a couple mixtapes, Pimpin Ain’t Easy and Glocks & Thots, released during his early teen years. Tepid reception left SahBabii dispirited, but after an extended break from recording, the rapper returned at the tail-end of 2016 with S.A.N.D.A.S., his third mixtape, with production from his brother T3. The tape’s “Pull Up with Ah Stick,” featuring Loso Loaded, exemplified SahBabii‘s refined synthesis of gunplay threats and candy-coated hooks. The track was licensed to major-label Warner Bros. and released commercially the following April. In 2018, he issued the singles “Outstanding” with 21 Savage and “Watery.” His highly anticipated follow up mixtape, Squidtastic, is in its final stages and will be released at the end of Summer 2018.

Video: OMB Peezy – “My Dawg”

The Alabama-Native and Bay Area Resident Shares a Visual to One of the Most Emotionally Affecting Songs from Loyalty Over Love

08.30.2018

Critical Praise:

“[OMB Peezy] is tough but melodic, with a youthfully urgent voice and production that’s indebted to Louisiana and California.” – New York Times

“Peezy’s impassioned flow makes the circumstances he’s discussing feel visceral and immediate as a listener; there’s nothing impressionistic about his bars” – Pigeons and Planes

“This kid from Alabama is the future of rap.” – The FADER

The Video:

OMB Peezy puts his heart and soul into his raps songs, expounding upon his state-of-mind with veracity and feeling. Mourning a lost loved one in a new clip, OMB Peezy shares “My Dawg.” Emoting over twinkling piano and soulful organ, a distraught Peezy tries to figure out how to live without one of his closest friends. “My Dawg” is one of the standout tracks on  Loyalty Over Love, Peezy’s recently released mixtape. In the video, he grieves over his dawg’s grave, honestly expressing how he wishes the circumstances were different. Last week, Peezy treated fans to another revealing glimpse when he shared Behind The Title: Loyalty Over Love, a new FADER-premiered mini-doc that explains the main themes behind the album.

Nearly two years after his debut single “Lay Down” put Peezy on the map, the motormouthed emcee shares Loyalty Over Love, his debut solo full-length mixtape. Stuffed with glistening Dirty South instrumentals, Loyalty Over Love is the culmination of Peezy’s rise, with sharp lyrics about his life as a rising star and his struggles with the legal system. Whether he’s seething at inept law enforcement on the previously released and Noisey-premiered “Fuck My P.O.,” fiercely asserting his individuality and independence within an oppressive system on “Souljah Life Mentality,” enjoying the spoils of his success in the TK Kravitz-featuring “Yeah Yeah,” mourning lost friends in the recently released “My Dawg,” or paying tribute to the West Coast with the Dr. Dre-referencing and Donny Hathaway-sampling “Ghetto Boy.” Peezy is a magnetic presence, weaving his threats and boasts around hot instrumentals. Featuring additional appearances from Mozzy, Paper Lovee, and OMB Iceberg, Loyalty Over Love arrives via Sick Wid It Records/300 Ent.

The Background:

Born in Alabama, the 20-year-old Peezy moved to the west coast when he was 12, developing a reputation as a rap prodigy, building a following on YouTube, and gaining the respect of the new wave of Bay Area artists such as Nef The Pharaoh and legends such as E-40. In 2017, OMB Peezy parlayed his grassroots local fanbase into a national following, earning millions of combined streams on his singles like the virally popular hits“When I Was Down,” “Porch,” and “Lay Down,” which Pigeons & Planes listed at #14 in their halftime list of Best Songs of 2017 and which Passion of the Weiss listed as their #19 for the year. In October, Peezy shared his debut project Humble Beginnings, a slap-heavy six-pack produced in full by Grammy-nominated producer Cardo Got Wingz (Kendrick Lamar, Jeezy, Meek Mill) and released by Sick Wid It/300 Ent. Peezy also toured throughout 2017, supporting Detroit artist Tee Grizzley in the fall and accompanying SOB x RBE on a national tour in the spring. In January, Peezy shared Young & Reckless, a joint mixtape with Peezy’s 300 Ent. labelmate Sherwood Marty, which proved that Peezy’s excellent run of 2017 singles was no fluke.

Video: Nef The Pharaoh – “Boostin'”

The Vallejo Wave Leader Collects His Conquests in a Colorful New Video Off The Big Chang Theory

8.29.2018

Critical Praise:

“It’s been nearly three years since Nef The Pharaoh took the Bay Area by storm with his breakout hit ‘Big Tymin’.’ Since then, under the tutelage of E-40, the South Vallejo rapper has become an ambassador of the region in his own right, championing artists like SOB X RBE, OMB Peezy, and others.” – The FADER

20 Best Hip-Hop Albums of 2016 – Neffy Got Wings (#3) – FACT

2016 was the West Coast’s time to shine, and few rappers shined as brightly as Nef – FACT

“Neffy Got Wings is the album of the week” – Stereogum

“…the best rapper from Vallejo since the last great rapper from Vallejo” – Jeff Weiss

“…as a rapper, [Nef the Pharaoh] lets the energy lead and the bars follow, boasting and flexing with the kinds of memorable banalities that make up some of hip-hop’s best yet least-celebrated moments.” –Pitchfork

“Nef The Pharaoh is the Bay Area’s next up.” – HotNewHipHop

“Nef the Pharaoh runs neck-and-neck with Kodak Black as the most promising up-and-coming rapper who can’t yet rent a car.” – SPIN

“There may be no rapper working right now who brings more good cheer and positive vibes than Vallejo’s Nef the Pharaoh” – Noisey

The Video:

A versatile technician with a uniquely elastic flow, Nef The Pharaoh transforms Bay Area beats into off-kilter smashes. Taking inspiration from conquest cataloguing cuts like Jay-Z’s “Girls, Girls, Girls” or fellow East Bay native Too $hort’s “Freaky Tales,” Nef lists his favorite ladies in “Boostin‘.” Riding a lush and funky post-hyphy production, Nef opens his little black book and cross-references with his thesaurus for some of his most impressive bars yet, bragging about his girlfriends and dismissing his exes: “Ruth got engaged on me/She with a nerd now/While I’m blessed by the game with a bussdown/Leona got an NBA n*gga that’s why I never shot my shot/But I ain’t trippin’ all this p*ssy that I got.” Premiered by HYPEBEAST, “Boostin'” is one of the myriad highlights from The Big Chang Theory, Nef’s debut studio album, which released earlier in August.

Says Nef: “This track gives you that old school Bay Area playa feel with a new taste of ‘Chang.'”

Showing off his skills over glistening Bay Area beats, Nef flexes on his success, stunts on lesser emcees, and brags about his rhyming prowess on The Big Chang Theory, but also finds the time to reflect on his past, to ruminate on social issues such as police violence. Praised by Noisey, who raved “it’s a joyous, melodic project with the old school, timeless feel we’ve come to expect from Nef the Pharaoh. Do yourself a favor and play this in a car as soon as physically possible,” The Big Chang Theory contains the relentless fun of the previous efforts, but displays a heightened maturity, as Nef takes the time to reflect on responsibilities as a young father and on improving the world he lives in. The new project hosts the highlight track “Big Boss Chang,” which has over 880k plays on Spotify and recently premiered a video via The FADER, and the new single “86,” featuring ALLBLACK and Cuban Doll, which debuted last week via Complex. Featuring additional appearances from Dej Loaf, OMB Peezy, JT The 4th and more, The Big Chang Theory arrived via KILFMB / Sick Wid It / EMPIRE.

Breaking through with his self-titled 2015 EP and its hit single “Big Tymin‘,” the 23-year-old Nef The Pharaoh quickly established himself as one of the most unique and popular emcees in the Bay. Signed to E-40’s Sick Wid It Records, the charismatic emcee is a fixture on regional radio, releasing an acclaimed collaborative EP with Cardo Got Wingz (Kendrick Lamar, Drake) in 2016 and hitting in 2017 with the single “Bling Blaow,” which features Slimmy B of SOB x RBE. Earlier this summer, Nef shared Porter2Grape, an action-packed 5-track collaborative EP with L.A. rapper 03 Greedo. Featuring appearances from ALLBLACK and singer Chris O’Bannon, the blistering EP, featuring the single “Ball Out” and the Pitchfork Best New Track “Blow-Up Bed,“ is currently available for stream and purchase via EMPIRE.

The Background:

Praised by Jeff Weiss as “the best rapper from Vallejo since the last great rapper from Vallejo,” the legend Mac Dre being his predecessor, 21 -year-old Nef The Pharaoh is one of the Bay Area’s most exciting young emcees. Signed to E-40‘s Sick Wid It Records, Nef The Pharaoh delivered his debut retail release, a self-titled EP, in November 2015 to high critical praise. Featuring the breakthrough radio hit “Big Tymin’,” which charted at #34 on San Francisco’s 106 KMEL‘s Top 106 Songs of 2015 and earned more than 7.7 million views on YouTube, the Nef The Pharaoh EP firmly established the rapper on the national scene. Nef followed his breakthrough project by joining producer Cardo for Neffy Got Wings, a collaborative EP which released in January, and by accompanying G-Eazy, A$AP Ferg, and Marc E. Bassy on the national When It’s Dark Out Tour. Nef followed up the EP with Fresh Outta Space 3, a “very Bay Area-y” mixtape that turned heads with its synthesis of regional sounds. In 2017, Nef released The Chang Project, featuring the hit single “Bling Blaow,” performed at Rolling Loud Bay Area and Rolling Loud Southern California and collaborated with OMB Peezy, SOB x RBE, and many more. His next project, The Boss Chang Theory, releases in 2018.

Video: E-40 – “Ain’t Talking Bout Nothin'” ft. Vince Staples & G Perico

The Prolific Veteran and Hip-Hop Legend Shares the Latest Video From The Gift of Gab, His 28th Studio Album

Critical Praise:

“E-40 is a national treasure” – Stereogum

“Whoever you are, and whatever your low-grade malaise, E-40 is here to banish it. The Bay Area rap forefather is a human exclamation point, a superhero whose power is remaining helplessly in love with his work. E-40 works harder and more joyfully at making great rap music than you or I have ever worked on anything” – Pitchfork

“The Bay Area’s ambassador E-40 is one of those rare veterans in hip-hop that gets better with time.” – Complex

The Video:

Cruising into his fourth decade of rap stardom, Vallejo’s E-40 only gets better with age. Strutting his stuff above a filthy hyphy instrumental, E-40 comes down hard on bullshitters in “Ain’t Talking Bout Nothin’,” his latest single. Recruiting two Los Angeles rappers for a quick drive up The 5 to Oakland, 40 spars with Vince Staples and G Perico on the single, creating a fascinating contrast of styles: 40 uses his unlimited vocabulary and unique flow to create a nursery rhyme of sorts, while Perico aggressively reps for South Central and Vince mocks mumble rappers with his nimble flow. In the video, the three emcees wild out in a dark room, lit only by neon and the fire in their eyes.

Last week, the prolific hip-hop legend shared The Gift of Gab, his 28th solo studio album, and the first of three 2018 LPs in the The Definition Series. On the new album, 40 flexes his lexicon over high-definition Bay Area beats, wielding his rubbery and elastic flow to expand his sonic palette and mutate the mainstream to fit his singular vision. Featuring appearances from Ty Dolla $ign, Kent Jones, Yhung T.O., Problem, FMB DZ, Sada Baby, Konshens and more, The Gift of Gab is available via Sick Wid It Records.

On August 29th, E-40 embarks on The Gift of Gab Tour. Spanning 21 dates across the west coast, The Gift of Gab Tour features special guests Nef The Pharaoh and OMB Peezy and will offer fans the opportunity to meet 40 at a special Meet & Eat with 40 and Trap Kitchen. Buy tickets here.

An unstoppable force in the rap game, E-40 churns out charting albums with remarkable efficiency. Earlier this year, the rapper teamed up with B-Legit, his cousin and with 40, a co-founder of seminal rap group The Click, for Connected & Respected, a full-length collaborative album. Packed with classic Bay Area slappers like the P-Lo-featuring dancefloor jam “BOY,” Connected & Respected is a master-class in rhyming and a treatise to the importance of keeping it in the family. In addition to his prolific musical output and his frequent courtside appearances at Golden State Warriors games, E-40 is an accomplished businessman in the adult beverage industry, hitting it big with his Earl Stevens Selections line of wine, his best-selling mixed cocktail drink Sluricane, and most recently, E. Cuarenta, his new brand of premium tequila. E-40 continues to add to his legacy with The Gift of Gab, with two more albums slated to release before the end of this year.

Video: Hoodrich Pablo Juan – “Tik Tok” ft. BlocBoy JB (Prod. by Danny Wolf)

The 1017 Alamo Rising Star Teams with an XXL Freshman to Bring a Head-Nodding Highlight from Hoodwolf 2 to Life

8.28.2018

Critical Praise:

“Nine out of ten rap fans seem to agree: Hoodrich Pablo Juan is up next.” – Complex

“HoodRich Pablo Juan should be Atlanta’s next up.” – Stereogum

“A smooth-talking rapper with a nonchalant charm.” – Pitchfork

The Video:

Radiating a low-key menace that belies his nimble flow, ATL’s Hoodrich Pablo Juan is a major figure in the trap game. Deploying a triplet flow above a lurching instrumental courtesy of Danny Wolf, Pablo Juan assumes the role of a lothario on “Tik Tok.” Connecting with an XXL Freshman, hyperactive Tennessee rapper BlocBoy JB, Pablo Juan delivers a mechanical, but highly danceable single, as the two emcees flex their wealth and rhyme about a woman who will do anything for fame. In the video, Pablo Juan and BlocBoy JB float through a hallucinogenic fever dream, marked by demonic tv clips, foreign cars, and a sultry female fire dancer. “Tik Tok” is the latest release from  Hoodwolf 2, an absorbing slice of head-nodding trap and a full-length collaboration between Hoodrich Pablo Juan and Danny Wolf, who produced Lil Pump‘s “Flex Like Ouu,” Ugly God’s Billboard Hot 100-charting “Water,” and others. Featuring appearances from Rich The Kid, BlocBoy JB, and Lil Duke, Hoodwolf 2 is available on all streaming platforms via 1017 Alamo.

Hoodwolf 2 is Hoodrich Pablo Juan’s third project of 2018, following January’s Rich Hood, featuring appearances from Lil Yachty, Lil Baby, Gunna, Key Glock and others, and February’s The Matrix, a EP-length collaboration with popular French electronic DJ Brodinski. A quick dose of aggro-trap brilliance, Stereogum praised the EP, calling it “a fascinating combination, with Hoodrich Pablo Juan’s liquid flow wending its way intuitively through Brodinski’s gleaming synths.” Rich Hood and The Matrix capitalized on the momentum of several acclaimed 2017 mixtapes, most notably, Designer Drugz 3, which had the emcee holding his own with some of the most accomplished members of ATL’s A-List, including Gucci Mane, Migos, Lil Yachty, Playboi Carti, and with production from Metro Boomin, Zaytoven, Nard & B, Cassius Jay, DJ Spinz, Honorable C-Note and more. Designer Drugz 3 boasted the hit single “We Don’t Luv Em,” produced by Hoodwolf 2’s own Danny Wolf, which has over 35 million streams on all platforms.

Video: Doe Boy – “Ain’t No Love” (Prod. by TM88 & Zaytoven)

The Freebandz Signee Shares the First Video Off 88 Birdz, His Star-Studded New Mixtape

08.27.2018

The Video:

A Cleveland native with more connects in the trap game than most ATLiens, Freebandz signee Doe Boy specializes in cerebral and confident rap music. Posting up in his hometown with a couple dozen of Ohio’s realest, Doe Boy issues a word of warning on “Ain’t No Love,” his latest video. Swimming in a atmospheric trap production by TM88, dotted with beautiful piano from trap maestro Zaytoven, “Ain’t No Love” finds Doe Boy locking into a sing-song cadence, imploring us to stay close to who you trust and to keep a tight inner circle. “Ain’t No Love” is the latest release from 88 Birdz, Doe Boy’s new mixtape, which hit retailers last week.

Executive produced by Young Thug, who appears on the Billboard-premiered “Slimey As It Get,” 88 Birdz is a showcase for Doe Boy’s hypnotic flows and understated bars, as he rhymes about his troubled childhood, his recent prison stay, and his aspirations to reach the upper echelons of the rap game. Packed with slithery beats from ATL superproducer TM88 of 808 Mafia (Lil Uzi Vert’s “XO Tour Llif3,” Future’s “Codeine Crazy”), with co-production from the likes of Zaytoven, 88 Birdz shows Doe Boy at his full potential, deftly illustrating why he is your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper. Featuring two appearances from Future and Young Thug, plus appearances from Juicy J and Moneybagg Yo, 88 Birdz arrives via Freebandz.

Mixtape: Kazzie – Kazzie & The Wavy Bunch

The New Jersey Native Recruits South Carolina’s Renni Rucci for the “Mad Or What” Video

8.24.2018

The Mixtape:

A natural-born emcee with an easy charisma, New Jersey rapper Kazzie expertly balances boisterous lyrics with memorable hooks. Showing off his versatile style and his skills as a collaborator, Kazzie shares Kazzie & The Wavy Bunch, a ten-track new mixtape. On the new mixtape, Kazzie demonstrating his electric chemistry with a cadre of rising female emcees, as he harmonizes with Rico Nasty on “Think I’m In Love,” talks tough with Molly Brazy on “With It,” and gets romantic with Dreezy on “Going Nowhere.” Featuring additional appearances from Cupcakke and Renni Rucci, Kazzie & The Wavy Bunch finds Kazzie adapting his style to fit his collaborators, shifting the production, style, and subject matter to best fit his current collaborator. Arriving via SLS Entertainment, Kazzie & The Wavy Bunch is a fascinating concept record and an excellent intro to the wavy world of Kazzie.

Rising from the same vibrant New Jersey rap scene that produced Redman and Fetty Wap, Kazzie has the talent and work ethic to follow in their footsteps. Having released tracks with prominent features from Fetty Wap, Waka Flocka, Fabolous, Gucci Mane, Rick Ross, and Yo Gotti, Kazzie is a respected artist in his community and online who built a strong following with his frequent freestyle videos, taking on beats made famous by Migos, Nicki Minaj, Blocboy JB, Gunna, and many more and making them his own. Kazzie recently bundled his Instagram freestyles into 23 & 1, a new project available via MyMixtapez.

To accompany the release of the mixtape, Kazzie shares “Mad Or What,” a new music video. Rocking Versace and stunting in front of his Dodge Hellcat, Kazzie taunts his haters on the mixtape highlight: “Hunnids are adding up/Your shit ain’t adding up/We got em mad at us/Talkin’ beef, we toe-taggin’ up.” “Mad Or What” finds Kazzie teaming up with Renni Rucci, a rising South Carolina emcee who shows off a nimble, rapidfire flow over the creeping instrumental. Premiered by L.A. Leakers, “Mad Or What” is a mixtape highlight, and a further testament to Kazzie’s stylistic fluidity.

Album: Always Never – Always Never

With 15 Million Streams on All Platforms, the Toronto-Based Duo Shares a Shimmering Collection of Emotionally Fraught New Wave R&B, Premiered by Complex

08.24.2018

Critical Praise:

“Always Never just released their first single, ‘Call Me Over,’ paired with two more glossy and exultant tracks. It’s hard not to think of the mystery of early Weeknd watching their debut video, an ambiguous and blown-out clip that only gives away so much.” – The FADER

The Album:

Crafting emotionally complex relationship stories with the delicate melodies of R&B and the sonic heft of trap, Toronto duo Always Never makes music for the post-midnight hours. Culminating a rapid rise that saw the duo rack up tens of millions of streams on all platforms, Always Never shares Always Never, their debut album, premiered by Complex. Collecting 14 story-driven and deeply textured cloud R&B jams, Always Never stands within and apart from the busy Toronto urban music scene, setting itself apart from the crowd with delicate and nuanced vocal performances from singer Patrick Kirschner over bass-heavy, yet somehow light-as-a-feather productions from Dean Guilbault, influenced in equal measure by PartyNextDoor, 6lack, and Metallica. The follow-up to 2017’s Call Me Over EP, the new album boasts previously released tracks such as the viral hit “Wylin‘,” which has over 5 million combined streams, and the recent “Dangerous,” which has over 200k combined plays since its release in July, as well as popular singles  “Millions,” “No Good,” and “Morgan Freeman.”

Always Never explains the album: “This album is a huge moment for us and probably one of the most challenging things we’ve ever had to do. The idea of making a body of work this big used to scare the shit out of us to be honest. We’re also control freaks when it comes to our music so we actually wrote, recorded and produced every song in our little Toronto apartment. We’ve been through a lot since starting Always Never and we’re not afraid to admit that. I think what people will connect with the most on this project is how honest and relatable it is.”

Always Never is a mysterious, Toronto-based artist/producer duo–a project conceived online with the expressed purpose of making a modern soundtrack for the surreal hours between leaving the club and the first rays of sun.  They released “Tragedy” as the end product of Dean’s final exam at audio engineering school only to see the track go viral on SoundCloud, then Apple Music and Spotify without any playlist support. Their next single, “Wylin‘,” turned even more heads, earning coverage from Genius and gaining prominent placement in Spotify’s All The Feels (1.2M followers), Mellow Bars (680K Followers) and Alternative R&B (703k followers) playlists. With “Wylin'” earning more than 700,000 streams per month on Spotify alone, Always Never proves the formidable artistry that turns a buzzing singles artist into a respected act. See Always Never live for the first time at The Mod Club in Toronto on October 10th. Tickets go on-sale at 1:00pm EST on Monday August 27th.

Album: E-40 – The Gift of Gab

The Hip-Hop Legend Releases A Streamlined and Star-Studded New Album, the First of Three Solo Albums to Come Out in 2018; Shares Super-Hyphy “Wicked” Video ft. Rich Rocka

Critical Praise:

“E-40 is a national treasure” – Stereogum

“Whoever you are, and whatever your low-grade malaise, E-40 is here to banish it. The Bay Area rap forefather is a human exclamation point, a superhero whose power is remaining helplessly in love with his work. E-40 works harder and more joyfully at making great rap music than you or I have ever worked on anything” – Pitchfork

“The Bay Area’s ambassador E-40 is one of those rare veterans in hip-hop that gets better with time.” – Complex

The Album:

Coining sticky catchphrases for years, since well before the current crop of rappers left diapers, Vallejo’s E-40 is rap’s Lord of Lexicon, a verifiable sultan of slang. Returning to the fold with his 28th studio album, the prolific hip-hop legend shares The Gift of Gab, his new LP, and the first of three 2018 LPs in the The Definition Series. With a massive vocabulary and a knack for finding hidden meanings, E-40 earned a reputation as one of the best lyricists in hip-hop, twisting phrases that embed themselves in listener’s heads and in the culture at large: Captain Save-a-Hoe, Broccoli (weed), Fetti (money), and more. On the new album, 40 flexes his lexicon over high-definition Bay Area beats, wielding his rubbery and elastic flow to expand his sonic palette and mutate the mainstream to fit his singular vision. Featuring appearances from Vince Staples, Ty Dolla $ign, G Perico, Kent Jones, Yhung T.O., Problem, FMB DZ, Sada Baby, Konshens and more, The Gift of Gab releases via Sick Wid It Records.

An unstoppable force in the rap game, E-40 churns out charting albums with remarkable efficiency. Earlier this year, the rapper teamed up with B-Legit, his cousin and with 40, a co-founder of seminal rap group The Click, for Connected & Respected, a full-length collaborative album. Packed with classic Bay Area slappers like the P-Lo-featuring dancefloor jam “BOY,” Connected & Respected is a master-class in rhyming and a treatise to the importance of keeping it in the family. In addition to his prolific musical output and his frequent courtside appearances at Golden State Warriors games, E-40 is an accomplished businessman in the adult beverage industry, hitting it big with his Earl Stevens Selections line of wine, his best-selling mixed cocktail drink Sluricane, and most recently, E. Cuarenta, his new brand of premium tequila. E-40 continues to add to his legacy with The Gift of Gab, with two more albums slated to release before the end of this year.

To accompany the release of the album, E-40 shares “Wicked,” a minimalist party jam off the new album. With an appearance from Rich Rocka on the hook, “Wicked” finds 40 employing an entrancing stop-start flow, kicking off the song on the perfect note: “Well damn, another muthafuckin’ slappy/Make ya mammy wanna slap ya pappy/Make ya motorcycle pop a wheelie/Figure 8, make ya ’50 do a 360.” In the video, which features a cameo appearance from Nef The Pharaoh, OMB Peezy, JT The 4th, B-Legit, Choose Up Cheese, Cousin Fik, and Laroo, 40 goes dumb in a warehouse, echoing his classic video for “Tell Me When To Go,” while muscle cars do figure 8s and donuts under the Oakland sun.

On August 29th, E-40 embarks on The Gift of Gab Tour. Spanning 21 dates across the west coast, The Gift of Gab Tour features special guests Nef The Pharaoh and OMB Peezy and will offer fans the opportunity to meet 40 at a special Meet & Eat with 40 and Trap Kitchen. Buy tickets here.

Video: OTM Frenchyy – “Seen It All” ft. Rod Wave

The Two Florida Rappers and Alamo Labelmates Take a Peek Into the Vagaries of the Criminal Justice System in a New Clip

08.23.2018

Critical Praise

“Don’t sleep on this prospective star” – Lyrical Lemonade

The Video:

Delivering slice-of-life maxims in a drawly sing-song, OTM Frenchyy is a leading purveyor of Southern-fried street rap. Returning with a piano-laden piece of gospel rap, Frenchyy drops knowledge on “Seen It All,” his latest video. Recruiting Alamo labelmate Rod Wave, who contributes a passionate and infectious chorus, Frenchyy dramatizes his legal issues in the HipHopSince1987-premiered clip, standing up to police interrogation and refusing to snitch on his OTM brethren. “Seen It All” follows the raucous video for “Bricks To The A,” premiered earlier this month by Dirty-Glove Bastard, and last week’s poignant “Trials & Tribulations” clip.

Explains Frenchyy, “I’ve seen it all from the ups to the downs. I had people I thought would always be there for me turn their back on me. Gotta keep your eyes on your own paper. That’s what my teacher taught me.”

The ringleader of the Deep South-based OTM crew, along with OTM Ruger, Frenchyy is one of the most promising rappers in Florida. Building up a grassroots fanbase with an endless stream of quality videos, Frenchyy had several tracks cross the 100,000 view mark on YouTube, including the poignant “Out The Mud,” and the hedonistic “I Need More.” Signed to Alamo Records, OTM Frenchyy is steadily gaining fans and earning critical attention. He’s ready to break out in a big way in 2018. Stay tuned for his debut solo project, coming soon.

Mixtape: Doe Boy – 88 Birdz (Produced by TM88)

The Freebandz Rapper Recruits Future and Others for the Absorbing Mixtape, Executive Produced by Young Thug and Featuring TM-88 of 808 Mafia Behind the Boards

08.22.2018

The Mixtape:

Though he proudly reps Cleveland, few people have more easily earned the respect of ATL’s rap cognoscenti than FBG’s Doe Boy. Serving up a glistening plate of hard-nosed and deeply textured trap music, Doe Boy shares 88 Birdz, his new mixtape. Executive produced by Young Thug, who appears on the Billboard-premiered “Slimey As It Get,” 88 Birdz is a showcase for Doe Boy’s hypnotic flows and understated bars, as he rhymes about his troubled childhood, his recent prison stay, and his aspirations to reach the upper echelons of the rap game.

Packed with slithery beats from ATL superproducer TM-88 of 808 Mafia (Lil Uzi Vert’s “XO Tour Llif3,” Future’s “Codeine Crazy”), with co-production from the likes of Zaytoven, 88 Birdz shows Doe Boy at his full potential, deftly illustrating why he is your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper. Featuring two appearances from Future and Young Thug, plus appearances from Juicy J and Moneybagg Yo, 88 Birdz arrives via Freebandz.

The Single:
