Toronto rapper Hoodz9 has released a new music video for his single “Na Mean,” the artist’s first solo drop since making noise with his “Adore,” his track featuring Tory Lanez, last spring.

As we wave goodbye to another year in the terrordome and try not to think about what 2021 will bring, we can at least be grateful that British musicians somehow managed to top the year before—no mean feat, given the blockbuster works 2019 gave us. Established dons like Footsie, Manga and Potter Payper all released […]

DaBaby might have just gotten his full taste of mainstream fame, but the rapper is already planning his exit.  During his recent cover story with XXL, the North Carolina native revealed that he’s putting his retirement plan together.  “Five years, I’ma be retired in five years,” DaBaby revealed. Although he might be stepping away from […]
