Speaking to Ebro Darden and Peter Rosenberg on HOT 97, Rozay responded to the latter’s question of whether or not the joint project will happen. “It’s a good chance that may happen,” the Maybach Music Group founder said, adding, “Is it facts? Nah. Have we had that conversation? Of course we have.” Earlier this June, The Biggest Boss shared that he and Drake are both working on their solo projects but “the timing and everything is aligning,” continuing, “It’s something that we really want to give to the streets, on some real sh*t. So, it’s looking real solid. That’s the most I can say.” Two months later, the OVO he...

Freddie Gibbs hopped on the beat of Drake‘s Certified Lover Boy opener “Champagne Poetry” for the reimagined cut “Vice Lord Poetry.” The three-and-a-half-minute cut seemingly hears the rapper taking shots at Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem with the lines “The Earth ain’t big enough for both of us, you gotta get done / They sayin’ they smoking top fives / But you ain’t burned up the one / Uh, f*ck n*****s talkin’ ’bout? / Like every time I hit the booth / I don’t leave that bitch with a body count.” Gibbs appears to be answering Lamar’s line on the track “family ties” where he raps, “The Elohim, the rebirth / Before you get to the Father, you gotta holla at me first, bitch / Smokin’ on top fives / Motherf*ck that album, f*ck that single / Burn that hard drive / Burn that shit.” Gibbs is preppi...

In a brand new interview witht the “TODDCast Podcast”, BUCKCHERRY singer Josh Todd spoke about the growing acceptance of so-called vaccine passports among a once-hesitant U.S. public and of increased calls for their mandated use across the concert industry. “Man, when I got my opportunity to get one, I jumped on it,” he said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET). “I don’t hold anybody to what they’ve gotta do. I hope that everybody would just get it for the greater good and not think of just themselves, so that we could get through this and get to the other side and make it a little more manageable. But I do understand that people do have medical issues and whatnot — they’re dealing with a lot of stuff. And that being said, what are you gonna ...
