2 Chainz Announces New Album So Help Me God
2 Chainz has rarely needed anyone’s help since dropping his 2012 debut album. But this time, at least according to his latest album’s title, he might. On Monday, 2 Chainz announced his upcoming sixth studio album, So Help Me God, with a release date of Sept. 25. The Georgia emcee’s latest release comes a year after his 2019 album Rap or Go to the League, which featured collaborations with Ariana Grande, Kendrick Lamar, Lil Wayne and others. And, as far as we know, Wayne will be back again for 2 Chainz’s latest. The album announcement follows the rapper’s latest single, “Money Maker,” which features Wayne along with some captivating animated visuals. Fans were hoping the pair would drop their ColleGrove 2 project soon, but it appears Tity Boi’s sixth studio album will find its way on s...
2 Chainz, Lil Wayne Drop Animated ‘Money Maker’ Video
For what may be the best stadium performance since SpongeBob and gang performed at the Bubble Bowl, 2 Chainz and Lil Wayne’s latest animated video for “Money Maker” sees the pair take over an entire football field with the big-band bop. The track — complete with a flood of horns and a commanding drum line — sees the two team up for yet another big-time Tity Boi and Weezy collab. The vibrant clip also sees the songs lyrics flash before the screen, so you couldn’t possibly miss 2 Chainz’ convincing demands to “shake ya money maker,” as the track takes samples from Southern University’s marching band Human Jukebox. It also features the band on the track cover, paying homage to HBCUs. The hit found its way on streaming services Friday after 2 Cha...

Run the Jewels’ RTJ4 Is Driving Music for a Cop Car on Fire
Run the Jewels don’t make a reviewer’s job easy because everything that’s great about them is the stuff we’re supposed to ignore to get to the bottom of the hype. They began as the best kind of “supergroup”: An unlikely pairing of beloved talents who still had plenty of room to peak higher. El-P’s fantastic Fantastic Damage and his countless innovative productions for his own previous, self-built Def Jux universe (Cannibal Ox’s The Cold Vein, Mr. Lif’s I Phantom) were unmistakably the most futuristic squelches in dusty-crate-obsessed indie-rap. Jaime Meline set the stage for dystopian soundscapes in hip-hop more than a decade before Death Grips, Yeezus, or the “mutant” scene that’s spawned Black Dresses and Deli Girls. Then you’ve got Michael Render, d/b/a Killer Mike, a firebrand of an MC...

The Atlanta rapper’s local establishment, Escobar Restaurant & Tapas, got shut down by the police due to violations of COVID-19 guidelines. TMZ reports that on Monday night, the cops drove by and noticed the restaurant looked particularly busy. The Georgia State Police took a closer look and according to the police report, they “noticed that the location was rather loud, busy, and occupied to be operating as a restaurant at that time of night.” And just like that, the party was over. All those people assembled, besides showing a stunning lack of common sense, meant the restaurant was in violation of COVID-19 guidelines. Georgia’s guidelines reportedly call for 10 customers max per table on onl...
