Megan Thee Stallion ‘s debut studio album starts off exactly as it needed to: with a diss track against Tory Lanez, who capitalized off of her trauma by dropping an entire album themed around her July shooting. “Shots Fired” is the introductory track from Good News , the official debut studio album from Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion. The superstar artist has been in headlines all year and, eight months after her shooting incident, details about that night are still relatively unclear. The world has heard both sides of the story and now, it’s time for Megan to get something off her chest by addressing it all in a song. She goes on to say that, without Megan, Tory would have never been invited to Kylie Jenner’s party and, without her, he would have been indicted because, in the direct aftermath of her shooting, she refused to say names or rat him out. “FOREIGN SONGS…
Russ came through and delivered his new CHOMP EP, a project that found him aligning with some of the game’s most respected lyricists across the board. In any case, it’s a solid look for the independent mogul, who has proven capable of keeping stride to an impressive degree. Even when tasked with trading bars with the Dragon himself, Russ made sure to deliver in that regard. Over a smooth and non-invasive instrumental from The Alchemist, itself a worthwhile co-sign, Russ and Busta Rhymes proceed to put in work with a lengthy verse apiece. Charged with setting things off, Russ weaves an impressive flow-scheme as he puts forth flexes. Busta picks up where he left off with a potent dose of ELE2 energy, explosive in his delivery though restrained in his own way. “FOREIGN SONGS…
Meek Mill has never been one to rest on his
laurels. Even though it has been a minute since the
release of 2018’s Championships, Meek has been
steadily putting in work at the laboratory,
presumably for his upcoming fifth studio album.
In the meantime, the MMG lyricist has officially
come forward with a release to tide fans over,
dropping off the Quarantine Pack complete with
four new tracks. As has become somewhat of a
modus operandi for the Philly rapper, Meek opted
to set things off on a high note with “ Middle Of It.”
Featuring additional support from Vory, who holds
it down on two of the project’s four tracks, Meek
Mill opts to carry the bulk of the weight with an
incendiary pair of verses.
For those wondering whether Meek’s newfound
lease on life would lead to complacency, think
again — “Middle Of It” is proof that he’s still as
hungry as ever. “FOREIGN SONGS…
Meek Mill delivers an icy banger on, “ GTA .” Dream Chasers in-house producer Nick Papz holds down the production with icy keys and bouncy 808s. Meek and Dugg leave no room for a hook, going back to back with a barrage of bars that includes a shout out to Lisa Raye, rapping, “Fuckin’ on this oiled lightskin bitch, look like Lisa Ray.” Clearly, she’s still on his mind. It feels like a minute since we’ve received some actual new music from Meek Mill. With Dugg serving as one of the hottest new rappers in the game, hopefully, “GTA” is one of many collaborative efforts we hear from them in the future. “FOREIGN SONGS…
DaBaby has been through a lot over the past few
years, and just a few weeks ago, his brother Glen
Johnson tragically took his own life after battling
mental health issues.
Since Johnson’s death, DaBaby has been
advocating for mental health awareness, and on
Friday, he released a 7-track EP dedicated to his
late brother, called My Brother’s Keeper (Long Live
G).
Every track here contains emotional lyrics,
including the Meek Mill assisted “8 Figures” which
sees DaBaby grappling with his fame and how
despite all of the heartbreak’s he remains pure and
well-intentioned.
Both artists rap about not being appreciated, which
is a motif that has more to do with their romantic
relationships. “FOREIGN SONGS…
