❗️🎙️ AZ Chike says working around Kendrick Lamar and pgLang fundamentally changed the way he approaches songwriting, down to how long he stays on a subject and how much attention he gives a hook! Chike says one of the biggest challenges while making NO REST FOR THE WICKED was learning to carry a single idea throughout an entire record. He also revealed Kendrick repeatedly pushed him outside his comfort zone by having him sing and develop melodies, something Chike had largely avoided throughout his career! “Dot was really on me about, ‘You got to master the melodies. Like, you got to master these hooks!’” Chike says Kendrick already trusted what he could do with verses, but their sessions became far more detailed once they reached the hooks. That process had him learning Melodyne and experimenting with vocal techniques he previously had little interest in using!

There is no rest for the wicked. While Muyaya arrives in Canada, a nation built on the rule of law, human right champion, he leaves behind thousands rotting in Ndolo, Makala, and DEMIAP. These people were arrested simply for who they are, others are under constant drones bombardment, yet he travels to the West to spew poisonous lies and mask the reality of his regime's cruelty. This time his burying his head while his behind is exposed.

🚨 Akademiks says he heard Kendrick Lamar requested his verse be removed from AZ Chike’s album but says he’s also open to the possibility Kendrick is still on the project and just hidden from the tracklist Ak then jokes that without Kendrick, he probably wouldn’t even click the album: “If you did have a Kendrick verse and he pulled it, we ain’t listening to your album.” He also laughs at how excited the West Coast got over one possible Kendrick feature, comparing it to Drake giving fans three albums and now a short film. Ak eventually plays AZ Chike for the first time and jokes: “Oh my God, this nigga sound like YG, bro.”

Az Chike went on TT live and said he lost his grandmother at 12 yo ans had to use his Sponge Bob boom box at her funeral and they played “cross roads” by Bone Thugs. He said she would have been his biggest supporter if she was still alive. Also said he was going to be consistent and active and this was the longest he’s ever worked on an album before dropping. Can’t wait to hear this album.

T.I. Regrets His Beef With 50 Cent?🤯 While sitting down with Angela Yee and Maino on the “Way Up” podcast to discuss his career as a comedian, the upcoming album and of course his beef with 50 Cent. While talking about it, Tip seemed bothered by the energy of the situation, denying once again he started the beef to promote his final album and stating that he still doesn’t quite understand how a positive conversation sparked this whole situation. After dropping several diss tracks and having his whole family involved, T.I. seems to be past this situation, do you guys think his beef with 50 is over?

Madison Beer reveals the cover of ‘locket’ is a still from a video: “The cover for the album is actually from a video , it’s not from a photoshoot. We shot a lot of what were supposed to be the cover photos, but then I just didn’t use them. Nothing was really connecting with me for the album artwork. The photos worked for the vinyl gatefolds and inserts, but nothing truly pulled on my heartstrings for the actual main cover.”
