New Video: Zoey Dollaz – “Post & Delete” Feat. Chris Brown [WATCH]

zoey-dollaz-post-delete-video

Zoey Dollaz made a lot of noise with his ‘M’ap Boule’ single, “Post & Delete” featuring Chris Brown. With a catchy flute-heavy instrumental, Zoey’s bars, and CB’s vocals, the single is definitely a banger.

Today, Zoey uncovers the video for the vibey single today along with his thoughts on the single.

“We live in a heavy social media world. We all can relate to posting something on IG, Twitter, or Facebook only to delete it soon after thinking about it. I’ve done so plenty of times,” he said. “That’s what makes this song so relevant and relatable. Not to mention, we got Chris Brown to add his flavor to the song which took it to another level. This song is a big record and I believe it will be my biggest one yet.”

‘M’ap Boule’ included additional features from Future, Tory Lanez, A Boogie Wit Tha Hoodie, and more.

Diddy & Drake Lead Hip-Hop’s Highest Paid Artists In 2017 [PEEP]

Puff-Daddy-Drake-Getty

A conversation that is often had amongst hip-hop aficionados is who’s dominating the game in revenue. Thankfully the good folks over at Forbes compiled their yearly “World’s Highest-Paid Hip-Hop Artists,” featuring the 20 wealthiest musicians and moguls in the game.

Leading the pack at No. 1 with a total revenue of $130-million in earnings is none other than Diddy. As you now Diddy has his own television network in RevoltTV, Ciroc Vodka, DeLeon Tequila, Aqua Hydrate, still has a roster of talent at Bad Boy, gets royalty checks on the regular, and has other business ventures. In addition Puff sold his SeanJean clothing for $70-million earlier this year.

At No. 2 is Drizzy Drake with $94-million American dollars (not Canadian). A big chunk of The 6 God’s income comes from his music sales, touring revenue, and having endorsement deals with Apple, Nike/Jordan Brand, and Sprite also help tremendously.This figure should increase substantially when his $200-million LiveNation deal goes through.

Jay-Z comes in at No. 3 with  $42-million thanks to his Roc Nation label, TIDAL streaming service, Paper Planes clothing brand, Puma deal, and many other investments and business ventures.

Newcomers on this year’s list include Chance The Rapper at No. 5 with $33-million and Lil Yachty at No. 20 with $11-million. A notable name that didn’t make this year’s list is 50 Cent, who figures to be back on it once his STARZ and BET contract dollars come in.

Peep the complete Top 20 list below via Forbes.

1. Diddy ($130 million)
2. Drake ($94 million)

ScHoolboy Q Says His Next Album Is 90-Percent Complete [PEEP]

schoolboy-q-studio

Who’s ready for a new ScHoolboy Q album?

A year departed from the release of his ‘Blank Face LP’ album, ScHoolboy reveals that he is about 90-percent done with the follow-up LP.

What would be his third major studio album was said to be halfway done back in February and today he declares to be nearly done on an Instagram post with a caption that reads, “First day back was Hella ruff. I wanted 2 go Home after 10 mins but I ain’t a lil bitcH…. I said once my album 90% done I was going back 2 da gym…. well I’m back!!! @cHrisbell_trainer good sHit old man.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/BZhFvMIDh5j/

There’s no telling when the album will be dropping, but he did mention earlier this year it would most-likely come after SZA’s ‘Ctrl’ release. However, Jay Rock has been working on his body of work as well, so it is to be seen.

Stay tuned.
