Curren$y released his latest album, Still Stoned On Ocean, earlier this month, which is presumed to continue the legacy of his classic 2016 EP Stoned On Ocean. Fans got 11 dope cuts this time around, including some help from Fendi P and Jim Jones. As of last weekend, he released a new visual for Still Stoned On Ocean for “Game Tapes 2,” produced by 808-Ray and Smitty Beatz and filled with the vivid imagery Curren$y has become known for:
Curren$y is seen hanging out with his young son in the accompanying clip for “Game Tapes 2,” supplied by Polo Vision Media. Additionally, he can be seen singing the song at various levels throughout his house, as well as outside, alongside some of his classic cars, which appears to be the official pace car from the 1998 Indianapolis 500.
Besides Still Stoned on Ocean, Curren$y also delivered The Collection Agency in February, Welcome to Jet Life Recordings 2 in June with his Jet Life collective, Highest in Charge in August with Trauma Tone, and Matching Rolexes in September with Kino Beats. As part of his 4/20 celebration, he even released the EP Financial District as an NFT.
As you may recall, Dom Kennedy made a big comeback a couple of weeks ago with his album From The Westside With Love Three. This project contains 15 dope tracks, alongside contributions from True Whitaker, MyGuyMars, TeeFlii, Kay Franklin, Frank$, Quentin Miller, and Bryan Roberts each contributed verses for the Hit-Boy-produced “Don’t Walk Away.” Now he has returned with another visual from the same project, the Mars-backed and Franklin “Deep Thought,” in collaboration with ANDROFOURTYSEVEN, Cameron Joseph, and Mike & Keys. The collaborators take on topics such as money, women, and living a meaningful life:
Featured in the video is a clip from Jason Madison, which shows Dom & Co. performing on the shore, with flowers and champagne to match the overall tone. Ultimately, the video is simple and to the point, creating hope for a future tour of similar productions.
There were two albums released in 2010 and 2011, respectively, from the Westside with Love series. Both albums featured notable collaborations with Skeme, OverDoz., Casey Veggies, Big K.R.I.T., ScHoolboy Q, and more. A few weeks ago, Dom and Hit-Boy collaborated again, this time on Also Known As, which was released under the name Half-A-Mil. There were 11 cuts on that project, as well as assistance from 24hrs, Nas, and 03 Greedo. After dropping the solo EP Rap N Roll, Dom has continued to release music, which features contributions from 24hrs, Veggies, Nike G4, TeeFlii, and Allyn. It was later joined by a deluxe edition of Rap N Roll with five additional tracks and Don Toliver’s new collaboration.
New footage of Big Sean has been circulating online this week, inciting rumours that he will collaborate with Hit-Boy soon. Fans of Detroit hometown hero Rick Ross got their answer today (Oct. 22) as he released his new single “What A Life”. In spite of the fact that this is not the same song he sings in the video, he keeps the streets entertained with his bars over Hit-Boy’s production:
It was an incredible year for Big Sean as he released his fifth studio album Detroit 2 in September, the sequel to his 2012 album Detroit, which boasted 21 tracks with features from Travis Scott, Ty Dolla $ign, Anderson .Paak, Nipsey Hussle, Wale, Post Malone, Jhené Aiko, Young Thug, Lil Wayne, as well as many Detroit peers. In the first week of its release, Detroit 2 was Sean’s third number-one album with 103,000 equivalent album units. His latest works include a deluxe edition of his debut LP Finally Famous commemorating his 10th anniversary and a reflective reflection on his selection as a XXL Freshman class member in 2010.
Besides, every individual is entitled to his or her own opinion, but if you believe that Moneybagg Yo is not one of the hottest artists out right now, then it seems likely that you are taking some sort of medication that prevents you from thinking clearly. It has been a while since CMG rapper Shad has been in a chokehold on the game, and he seems to be consistently putting gold in everything he touches. Time and again, Bagg has proven that he is built for this industry through his infectious records and his standout features. Having just wrapped up the summer and going into the holiday season, “Time Today” rapper created a perfect time to release his new album, A Gangsta’s Pain. You should now give Bagg a second look if you’ve been sleeping on his abilities.
Moneybagg entered the music scene in 2012, but it was his mixtape Relentless which gave him prominence, and by the time he signed with Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group in 2016, Moneybagg had already achieved considerable success. He has subsequently had his hands on a significant number of the hits that you hear on your radio every day, and that is a skill not every artist possesses.
Bread Gang CEO Jim James took to social media after the success of his A Gangsta’s Pain album to announce that he would be gifting us with a new collection of seven songs he called “shit he just had laying around”. Among the artists featured on those records are DJ Khaled, Lil Durk, Pooh Shiesty, EST Gee, Big Homiie G, Janiyah, Yung Bleu, and Lil Wayne.
According to the New York Police Department, a man has been identified and arrested for vandalizing George Floyd’s bust in New York. Micah Beals, 37, was arrested for the crime and charged with second-degree criminal mischief for the crime committed on Monday (Oct. 25). CSI: NY actor Beals appeared in many episodes of the show.
Police released the surveillance footage of Beals’ alleged vandalism on Oct. 3, following which the police released it to the public. Apparently, a skateboarder sprayed grey paint on Floyd’s bust in Union Square, New York, before riding past the statue of the musician on his skateboard.
The act of vandalism occurred just four days after the bust of Breonna Taylor was unveiled along with those of John Lewis and Breonna Taylor.
Terrence Floyd, Floyd’s brother, told TMZ after the October incident that he hopes to meet with the person who defaced the statue to discuss the incident honestly and prevent future incidents.
A spokesperson for Confront Art, the company that commissioned the three statues, said, “the George Floyd statue was the only one that was attacked”. “It is the one that evokes the most emotion, positive and negative, of all”. Seeing his brother once again target of such extreme hatred doesn’t make Terrence Floyd happy or satisfied. He feels disheartened and saddened by the situation.
It is the second time Florida’s sculpture has been vandalized. His first time it occurred was in June, just days after it debuted in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Black paint was reportedly sprayed on the monument, leaving marks believed to symbolize white supremacy and left by four unidentified suspects. Currently, no arrest has been made for Beals in connection with the vandalism.
CBS reports that Micah Femiah Beals was already arrested during the riots at the capitol on Jan. 6 for violating curfew. An individual charged with second-degree criminal mischief faces up to seven years in prison if convicted.
