Superbowl weekend means 2 things in the music world: 1 week till the Grammy Awards and lots of new music will be released before NBA AllStar Weekend. Case in point? This new Big Sean song called “Blessings” which features Drake and Kanye West. Sean has a new Album, Dark Sky Paradise, that drops at the end of February. Stay tuned.
With the internal beef between Cash Money and Young Money brewing thicker than warm beer, safe to say anything with Lil Wayne‘s name on it is guaranteed to stop traffic. Weezy dopped that Sorry 4 The Wait mixtape and one of the songs catching fire is the track “Amazing,” which features The Migos. Check it out here.
Travi$ Scott released two songs for the streets this week for fans. The track “High Fashion” has the most promise. Not just because the beat is fire but also Future makes a guest appearance which means hit records in this day in age. We shall see….
In my humble opinion, only Gucci Mane could rival the late great Tupac Shakur, in terms of music released to the streets while away. Pac left us almost 2 decades ago and he still is releasing gems posthumously. Gucci’s been locked up almost 2 years and has had a mixtape out for release almost every month since his incarceration. Gucci’s new song, “Cartel Talk,” is off his upcoming mixtape Beat N Drugs.
Fashawn is one of the west coast best kept secrets. He’s not the mega star like Kendrick Lamar or club smash maker like DJ Mustard. Fashawn is that dope hip hop superstar somewhere between “turnt up” and mainstream. His latest single “Guess Who’s Back” is an example of what he does best. His upcoming album boast features from Nas, Dom Kennedy, and Aloe Blacc.
