Today, Platinum-selling rapper Lola Brooke (Team Eighty Productions/Arista Records) unleashes her new song, “Go To Yo Head.”

The anthemic, unruly track finds the breakout emcee in her lyrically-savvy element, delivering poignant punchlines to match her chilling bravado voice. “Go To Yo Head”  finds the 4′ 9 giant exuding a commanding presence, demanding just-do respect from a suitor. Whether or not one is in over their head dealing with Brooklyn’s finest, Lola flexes on wax while dictating her commandments as a supreme Rap sensation who means business. Instead of entertaining games, she makes it known to come correct with genuineness and groundedness—with a splash of glamour— to vie for her attention.
 
Going on record about the track, Lola further shares, “There’s no room to get big-headed and think for a second that Lola is that girl to be played with. That’s the energy on Go To Yo  Head. I’m a step on heads every time if they come for mine.”
 
“Go To Yo Head” follows the release of Lola’s collaboration single “No One Else” featuring Jeremih, which arrived earlier this season. The rap and R&B-style track was presented with a glossy official music video directed by MadebyJames [Isaiah Rashad, Smino].

Ab Soul Releases ‘Soul Burger’ Album Featuring Vince Staples, Lupe Fiasco, Doeburger And More

unnamed 28

TDE artist Ab-Soul has released Soul Burger, his first album since 2022’s acclaimed HerbertThe album features DoeBurger, Vince Staples, Doechii, JID, Lupe Fiasco, Ty Dolla $ign, Jason Martin, Thirsty P, Kamm Carson, Fre$h, Punch, and Asia Holiday with production from 9th Wonder, ScHoolBoy Q, Kal Banx, Terrace Martin, Rascal, TaeBeast, Devin Malik, Beat Butcha and more. With Soul Burger, Ab-Soul pays tribute to his childhood best friend, DoeBurger, who passed away in 2021. Doe always encouraged him to create more upbeat music for fans to dance to at shows, so this project is both an homage to him and a reflection of the music he inspired Soul to make. Throughout the mixtape, Doe serves as a narrator, urging Soul to persevere despite his challenges.

Ab-Soul is known for challenging rap’s conventional narratives with his deep, thought-provoking lyricism and distinctive style. Joining Top Dawg Entertainment (TDE) in 2007, he became part of the revered Black Hippy collective alongside Schoolboy Q, Jay Rock, and Kendrick Lamar. His music often delves into personal hardship, philosophy, and social issues. His journey has been marked by significant struggles, including being diagnosed with Stevens-Johnson Syndrome at age 10, which severely impacted his vision and skin. The 2012 loss of his best friend and longtime girlfriend also deeply influenced his music, inspiring his breakout track “The Book of Soul” on his sophomore album Control System. After a six-year hiatus, Ab-Soul returned with Herbert (2022), an album that showcases his vulnerability as he reflects on mental health, grief, resilience, and self-discovery—earning praise from both fans and critics for his growth and authenticity.

Westside Gunn Releases New Album ‘Still Praying’

unnamed 74

unnamed 74

Fans have come to expect a FLYGOD release every October, you can set your watch by it.  Yet, every October Westside Gunn still manages to deliver the expected-in an unexpected way. 

After the release of 11 (the art piece, before the art piece) on Halloween, Westside Gunn has now released Still Praying (the highly-anticipated follow-up to And Then You Pray For Me); which features guest appearances from the greatest sh*t-talker of all time, DJ Drama (AKA Drop Cena), Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, Boldy James, Stove God Cooks, Rome Streetz and production from Conductor Williams and Daringer among others. 

With DJ Drama as narrator, Still Praying is everything you want and more from a new FLYGOD drop.  Still Praying sounds like fresh money and opulence, with Gunn describing wearing “thousand dollar swim trunks, can’t even swim” on “Dr. Britt Baker,” while acknowledging he has FLYGOD problems; which consist of “being fly as LaGuardia,”  eating so much lobster it feels greedy, and falling asleep and waking up in the Penthouse suite of the Waldorf spooning a sawed-off shotgun.  In other words, just a day in the life of the FLYGOD. 

“If it ain’t Griselda it don’t mean nothing.”  Still Praying brings Griselda back together in a major way.  On “Free Shots” featuring Conway The Machine, DJ Drama recommends “blinking twice if you’re in danger” on what feels like a new and improved Hall & Nash track.  On the album’s epic title track, Gunn reunites GXFR to spin the block for a rap stars x drug mixer, that finds Conway dropping dimes like a Brady spiral, Stove God invoking Virgil’s spirit, and Benny detailing declining a sit-down with Trump on the eve of the Presidential election. 

“Some paintings are masterpieces, and this just happens to be one “Westside Gunn confidently asserts.  “I wanted to show everybody not only am I the best curator; but I can also rap my ass off.” 

Westside Gunn puts an exclamation point on the week, and shifts into 4th Rope mode on 11.2.24, as his now official wrestling promotion initiative makes history and takes over Chicago for the Heels Have Eyes 3 entertainment extravaganza.  Heels Have Eyes merges all of Gunn’s loves (4th Rope highlights Gunn’s love of wrestling through the lens of art, fashion and music) and the third installment promises to be the best rendition yet.  Which includes a Steel Praying steel cage match, Joe Hendry vs. AJ Francis, Moose vs. ZILLA FATU for the 4th Rope heavyweight championship belt which will be awarded by Westside Gunn and new 4th Rope commissioner, the legend MVP.  On the musical performance side, FLYGOD has brought in iconic artists DJ Premier and Pete Rock, as well as Statik Selektah, Rome Streetz, Daringer, and other still-not-announced special guests.  Heels Have Eyes 3 promises to be an unforgettable evening of entertainment.

Skyzoo Drops New Single “The Workload” Featuring Method Man

unnamed 73

unnamed 73

The idea for “The Workload” came after Method Man & Redman’s festival performance this past summer, with the iconic duo putting on a masterclass of hip-hop, but feeling disconnected from the younger generation; due to them not understanding the greatness they were witnessing.  When Meth said he was done with a certain demographic, I understood his stance, as me growing a Wu loyalist left me frustrated with how that all played out.  Thus, “The Workload” was born. 

Using that moment to show the somehow mislead of this era what they’re out of touch with; a legend in the truest sense.  It was an honor to craft this record with Meth, putting on a lyrical clinic, all while giving him his flowers in the same breath,  Cartune produced the record and when I heard it, the energy of Meth’s post-concert response seemed to fit the tone of the beat.  Fast forward a few months later and here we are.

You know what time it is!  Just like Jay-Z held you down in the summer, Westside Gunn always holds you down on Halloween.  It’s a tradition.  It’s culture.  And you know the FLYGOD is culture. 

A few weeks after the influential multi-hyphenate, added yet another hyphen to his name, with the announcement of his collaboration with Saucony, if its #HoodieSZN on the East Coast, you know the FLYGOD will carry on tradition for the culture.  And what’s better than one new Westside Gunn project? How about, two!

Consider 11, the art piece, before the art piece, because at midnight EST on 11.1.24, FLYGOD will also release Still Praying (the highly-anticipated follow-up to And Then You Pray For Me); which features guest appearances from Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, Boldy James, Stove God Cooks, Rome Streetz and production from Conductor Williams and Daringer among others. 

11 is the most personal project I ever made, it’s dedicated to my brother who was killed in April, but narrated by my brother who has life in prison fighting to come home” Gunn explains.  “This is the reality for Westside Gunn

Westside Gunn then puts an exclamation point on the week, and shifts into 4th Rope mode on 11.2.24, as his now official wrestling promotion initiative makes history and takes over Chicago for the Heels Have Eyes 3 entertainment extravaganza.  Heels Have Eyes merges all of Gunn’s loves (4th Rope highlights Gunn’s love of wrestling through the lens of art, fashion and music) and the third installment promises to be the best rendition yet.  Which includes a Steel Praying steel cage match, Joe Hendry vs. AJ Francis, Moose vs. ZILLA FATU for the 4th Rope heavyweight championship belt which will be awarded by Westside Gunn and new 4th Rope commissioner, the legend MVP.  On the musical performance side, FLYGOD has brought in iconic artists DJ Premier and Pete Rock, as well as Statik Selektah, Rome Streetz, Daringer, and other still-not-announced special guests.  Heels Have Eyes 3 promises to be an unforgettable evening of entertainment.

It’s a song that’s meant for you to have the ultimate fun,” says Ciara. “Busta ‘slaughtered’ the track with his classic, undeniable, and unstoppable flow.

Tommy Richman Drops New Single "DEVIL IS A LIE"

Tommy Richman continues adding on to his monumental summer run with the release of his latest single, “WHITNEY” along with an accompanying visualizer.

he new song is the second release from Tommy’s heavily anticipated debut album, COYOTE, out September 27th via ISO Supremacy/PULSE Records, and follows his run of sold-out live shows in D.C., New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, as well as his late-night TV debut performance of “MILLION DOLLAR BABY” on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. “WHITNEY” highlights the break-out star’s sonic versatility, coming as a modern-pop anthem that blends R&B, indie, and soul with an irresistibly funky disco-groove and bassline.

Alternating between his signature falsetto and a lower-tone cadence, Tommy’s heartfelt vocals masterfully capture his raw emotions over the track’s warm sweeping synth chords and bright analog-synth melodies, delivering another personal and intimate look into the journey that inspired COYOTE. Last month, Tommy gave fans the first glimpse of what to expect from his upcoming album with the release of “THOUGHT YOU WERE THE ONE,” a downtempo heartstring-pulling alt-R&B ballad.
