    Friday, the boisterous YG released the title track from his forthcoming album ‘Laugh Now Kry Later!’. On production different from his usual sound, he rides around in the most beautiful Lamborghini I’ve seen. On the track, he talks about being a heartbreaker, gives tribute to his late friend and fellow LA legend Nipsey Hussle, and cuddles with his two daughters. Check out the visual below to see the driver doing doughnuts. And if that’s YG singing on the hook, he did a damned good job.

    Hailing from Queens, New York, rapper Zoe Gawd is ready to continue making a name for herself and standing out amongst a heavily-populated New York Trap music scene.

  • Denver’s TheyCallHimAP releases video for new single ‘Intimidated’: Watch

    Following his last release ‘Average’, Denver’s very own TheyCallHimAP is keeping the energy up in the midst of this quarantine.

  • John Gabbana opts for positivity with the release of ‘Goin Up’: Watch the video

    Opening the new video for his song ‘Goin Up’, John Gabbana talks to his father about coming back to the music industry after turning around his life of danger. If you aren’t familiar with John Gabbanna, he used to go as “Boonk”, who used to be an internet troll long before the careers of other “troll rappers” took off. It was difficult to tell if the stunts he did were real or not, but it turns out that they were. He was also committing crimes, and getting hurt for the ‘gram, as they say. I guess, to be a relevant entertainer with a million followers, in the age of social media takes life-altering measures for some.

    I think the last straw was when retaliation led to a broken jaw, or when he shot himself. Soon after, reportedly, that the rapper fell into a deep dark suicidal depression because he lost his Instagram account, which brought in $20,000 a month according to the claim.

    It’s good to see John Gabbana doing better with his life. Last month, with some friends, he fed the homeless.
