OVO Sound Radio is back. Drake, who co-founded the program alongside Oliver El-Khatib, and Noah “40” Shebib, announced the episode Thursday night, just hours before he was set to release what will be his second Scary Hours EP. Drizzy told fans that the broadcast will coincide with the launch of SOUND 42, OVO’s 24-hour station on SiriusXM. “Going […]

Drake is giving fans something to presumably keep on loop ahead of the impending arrival of his Scorpion follow-up Certified Lover Boy. He’s just dropped off a three-track EP titled Scary Hours 2 featuring appearances from Lil Baby and Rick Ross. There’s “What’s Next,” “Wants and Needs” with Lil Baby, and “Lemon Pepper Freestyle” featuring […]

OTF season has finally commenced. About a month after releasing The Voice deluxe version, Lil Durk has gifted fans with Loyal Bros—the fourth compilation mixtape from his Only the Family label. The project spans 23 tracks, including the recently released “Jump,” featuring verses by Durk, Booka600, Memo600, and the late King Von, who was fatally shot in November. Other […]

Chicago rapper G Herbo has just delivered his first new music of 2021 with two hard-hitting new singles, “BreakYoSelf” and “Really Like That.”  Both of the tracks see Herbo operating in a stripped-back mode, with eerie beats and a non-stop delivery. The songs follow-up his most recent release, “Statement,” which saw him address the fraud charges […]

Nas doesn’t feel like he’s in competition with younger rappers. In a new interview, the Queens native told Financial Times, “I appreciate what’s out there, but there’s no one keeping me up at night.” He continued, “I hear a new rap record and think it’s great, but I don’t listen to it the next week.” He […]

Jack Harlow can rap. He silenced any questions otherwise with his last studio album release, Thats What They All Say, but it looks like the Louisville wonder kid is getting some major attention from bars he delivered when he was just a young boy. “Still some of the realest shit I ever wrote” Harlow tweeted, sharing a video […]

Freddie Wahter wants to open up.  He’s overcome racism and poverty to become the man he is today: a Toronto-based artist with global reach, working with musicians, fashion designers, and photographers to create the art he wants to make. But the world wasn’t always at Freddie’s grasp.  Growing up poor to two Ghanaian immigrants who met […]

During a conversation with E-40 for HipHopDX, Too Short talked about a song he had planned with Drake, and revealed why it never happened. “I was really focused on being on that Drake vibe, and I was just about to do a song with Drake,” the Bay Area legend says in the video above. “I feel like […]

Certified Lover Boy, as studious Drake fans already know, was initially set for a January 2021 release. The album is still slated to drop this year, though no release date has been publicly confirmed. Late Wednesday night, however, Drake announced the impending arrival of new music. Per the “Summer Games” maestro, we can expect something […]

Lil Baby, who was crowned 2020’s Best Rapper Alive by Complex, has returned with the music video for his new track “Real As It Gets” featuring EST Gee. Back in January, it was announced that the Louisville rapper signed to Yo Gotti’s CMG Records. You can watch the video for “Real As It Gets,” which was directed by Caleb Jermale, up top […]
