Justin Bieber dropped an all-star remix of his hit single “Peaches” early Monday morning (June 7) featuring Snoop Dogg, Ludacris and Usher and the singer definitely lets the MCs hop into the driver’s seat on the remake of the new summer classic. “I get my peaches out in Georgia Apple Bottom from New York, orange in Florida/ Vitamin C mixed with this vitamin D, now you got vitamin me/ And your prescriptions fill more than them trees in California/ I’m always gon’ adore ya’, kiss you and caress you/ Anything just to spoil ya, gift ya’, protect ya,” Luda raps over the song’s honey-smooth track as Bieber slips in to croon the second verse and the chorus.

Drake Playfully Trolls Warriors’ Klay Thompson With Hilarious Viral Boat Video Reenactment
“Shout-out Drake, Artist of the Decade,” Thompson says while steering the boat. “Man, that’s impressive. We had a little beef, we had the city turned up. That’s my last taste of hooch, man. NBA Finals, I miss it. There’s nothing like the finals, yo. Nothing like it.” In the lead-up to the NBA Finals in 2019, where the Warriors battled against Drake’s hometown Raptors, Thompson joked that he wouldn’t be listening to Drizzy’s “soft R&B songs” during the series. The two exchanged some more playful trash talk during the finals, which ended in the Raptors winning its first NBA championship. Watch Drake’s reenactment of Thompson’s viral boat video below.

Marshmello’s EDM Roots Bubble to the Surface With Ferocious New Collab, “Hitta” With Eptic and Juicy J
Marshmello, Eptic, and Juicy J have joined forces for a monster collaboration called “Hitta.” While “Hitta” doesn’t quite represent a return to form for Marshmello, whose saccharine, fan-favorite future bass beats have taken a backseat to dance-pop and mainstream hip-hop, it’s an unmistakable return to his EDM roots. The track finds Marshemello tapping one of the electronic scene’s most revered sound designers, Eptic, for a hip-hop and bass music hybrid that doubles as an all-out assault on the senses. “Hitta” foams at the mouth with trap ferocity, highlighted by the bombastic dirty south flows of Three 6 Mafia’s Juicy J, who spits furiously over thunderous 808s in the verses. Stentorian brass shots and frenetic sta...
