As we patiently wait for the release of Donda 2, “Junya” and “Remote Control” producer Digital Nas offered some details about Kanye West‘s upcoming project and his process. Speaking to Rolling Stone, the 23-year-old Atlanta native discussed what Ye is trying to achieve with the sequel album. “These are the directives for the album: ‘If it cannot be played at a funeral, childbirth, graduation, a wedding, it will not be on our record,’” said Nas. “We learned a lot from Donda 1. We learned what hit. We learned what was sticking. So we took it from there. It has to be able to be played at four major moments in people’s lives. That’s crazy, right?” Nas also revealed he is particularly excited for a track Ye recorded with Donda 2 executive producer, Future, and that we can expect Travis Scott on...

E-40 suggests that Busta Rhymes will be a worthy opponent for Eminem in a VERZUZ battle. Speaking on a new episode of the Jalen & Jacoby podcast, E-40 stated that he believed that “Busta Rhymes would eat Eminem in a VERZUZ battle.” He continued, “Busta Rhymes goes crazy, because now, it’s turned into a performance type of situation. Busta Rhymes is animated. He got gas. He raps fast, all that. He do all that stuff that Eminem do. And Busta Rhymes got up-tempo slaps that get the party goin‘. Anytime you got up-tempo slaps, you’re gonna win.” The Bay Area rap icon did share his admiration for Em, noting that he is “legendary” and that he has “great hits, great style,” but noted that Busta’s catalog did not get the flowers it deserved. “I feel like Busta Rhymes gots what it takes to bring...
