Already having one of the hottest albums of the second half of the year, Ty Dolla $ign has been celebrating his success by making his runs on televisions with performances of the touted singles. Having already performed on MTV’s “TRL” and “Jimmy Kimmel Live!,” Dolla stopped by “The Late Late Show With James Corden” last night for another one.

In front of a packed crowd in Stage 56 of the Los Angeles studio, the Taylor Gang crooner ran through “Dawsin’s Breek” without his collaborator, Jeremih. Although Jeremih wasn’t there he was joined by his DJ, a band, and a flock of women with painted faces, resembling zombies. The stage design featured strip club-inspired “Girls Girls Girls” sign and a couch.

Quincey White Gets Political Over Dr. Dre’s “The Watcher” On #Freestyle027 [WATCH]

South Central’s Quincey White caught the industry by storm with his freestyle on Sway’s Universe. After catching wind of that, Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk had to get the LA native to deliver some bars on their own freestyle series.

Over Dr. Dre’s ‘Chronic 2001’ single “The Watcher,” Quincey showed he in fact is not a fad. The rapper begins by looking back on his Megabus trips from LA to Vegas, before referencing his ‘7’ project, LaVar Ball, and then getting political by shouting out Colin Kaepernick, the Vegas shooting, and wishing Donald Trump was shot instead of the victims.

Nyce Pick: Juliann Alexander – “Switchin Sides” [LISTEN]

There’s so much untapped talent in Los Angeles, it could be overwhelming and hard to keep up with all of it. An artist that has been slowly but surely buzzing is Kid Ink’s younger brother, Juliann Alexander. On his latest track, the up-and-coming LA rapper spazzes over a Reazy Renegade-produced track.

“When you on your way up they be switchin’ sides / she fucking with us got her switchin’ sides / hundreds in her face now she hypnotized / looking like a lotto ticket she don’t bend the price / we ain’t f*cking with you n*gga switchin’ sides,” he sings on the hook.

This track right here is a straight banger that should be in your turn-up rotation. Juliann Alexander is definitely an artist you should keep your eyes on now! Don’t be “Switchin’ Sides” when he blows up later. Don’t forgot B-Nyce told you.
