Independence Day, Fredo’s third studio album, is finally here after it was announced back in June. This would be his second album drop of the year, having released his sophomore […]
Fredo Bang has just unleashed his latest studio album, Murder Made Me, with guest features from Polo G, Mozzy, Coi Leray, and more.

Common sat down with Andrew Barber on The Coda Collection to look back on his iconic career and talked about everything from his creation of Be, to being roommates with J Dilla, to wishing he made one more album with Kanye. “If there’s anything that I sometimes wish is I wished I would have did a third […]
Danny Seth exploded into the rap game in the mid-2010s, quickly earning a name for himself as the go-to-guy for rowdy, style-minded rap. He made a serious splash on both sides of the Atlantic, but then he took a bit of a hiatus from music. Last year, however, he made a grand return with woozy, […]
Brampton-based Punjabi singer and rapper Sidhu Moose Wala and Toronto MC Blockboi Twitch have quite the heater on their hands. The two have linked up for “G Shit,” Wala’s latest single, and it’s been doing some serious numbers, currently sitting near the top of YouTube’s trending ranking for music in Canada, and racking up over 8.5 million views since dropping earlier […]
