ILoveMakonnen’s time at OVO was short lived. Not long after Drake hopped on the rising star’s 2014 hit single “Tuesday,” Makonnen and the Toronto rapper had a falling out, resulting in the former leaving the label less than two years after signing a record deal. In a new interview with NPR Music (above), Makonnen recalled new details […]

ILoveMakonnen, who last year commemorated his artistic independence with the surprise release of My Parade, has shared a new nine-track album made in collaboration with the production duo Yellow Trash Can. Everything Is Trash features the previously released singles “Don’t Tell Me What to Do” and “My Girl Trans,” the latter of which arrived earlier this month, […]

ILoveMakonnen again links with Yellow Trash Can for his latest track, the early 2022 highlight “My Girl Trans.” In a post shouting out the fellow creatives who helped bring the new song to life, the My Parade artist noted that the cover art was handled by @wavvvydan, who has worked extensively with Makonnen in the […]

ILoveMakonnen, an artist whose influence on the current musical landscape isn’t celebrated anywhere near enough, is back. Overnight, Makonnen surprise-released his new album My Parade, which he noted is the first project he’s released as a fully independent act. The 13-track album includes features from Lil B and Payday, on “More Bitches Than the Mayor” […]

Lil Peep’s second posthumous album, Everybody’s Everything, has arrived. Columbia Records described 19-track project as a “lovingly-curated collection of songs from Lil Peep’s career.” It delivers a mix of never-before-heard records and previously released fan-favorites, like “Ghost Boy,” “Cobain,” and “White Tee.” The album’s title is a reference to an Instagram post Lil Peep shared on […]

ILoveMakonnen has called out Gucci Mane for not supporting him even after they collaborated on “Spendin’” from his newest EP M3. “No disrespect to Gucci Mane but he didn’t support the record that we just put out together and I never got to meet him in person as well,” Makonnen told Beats 1 host Hattie […]

ILoveMakonnen is set to drop his M3 EP in just a couple of weeks, marking his first official release under the Warner Bros. banner. But before the project officially arrives, ILoveMakonnen has delivered another taste of what’s to come. The 30-year-old artist came through with “Shoot Shoot” Thursday night, following M3‘s previously heard tracks “Drunk on […]

ILoveMakonnen dives into the new year with a braggadocious single “Spendin.” The song—produced by Makonnen, Roofeeo, Louis Bell, and Brenton Duvall—includes a guest verse by Gucci Mane, who previously worked with Makonnen on the “Cash Cash” and “Take It Easy” tracks. “Spendin” is definitely their most infectious, and least humble, collaboration yet with lines about luxury cars, expensive clothes, jet-setting, […]
