DESIIGNER RISES OVER FUTURE
Freshman rapper Desiigner’s price has really gone up in the past couple weeks. From signing onto Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music to being featured on Ye’s TLOP.
This week his hit single “Panda” peaked at number 14 on Billboard’s Hot 100 charts, topping any Future song. The highest Future has placed on the charts is 28th.
That’s a slap in the face for Future being that Desiigner is compared to him and is often confused for being him—something Future doesn’t like.
To add insult to injury the song “Panda” has been getting major looks not only in the clubs but also on the national stage. Watch Shaq come out to the song at WWE’s Wrestlemania 32:
Let’s see what else Desiigner has to come with the announcement of a mixtape dropping soon.
Hopefully he doesn’t turn out to be a Milli Vanilli a.k.a. one-hit wonder.
T. SWIFT GIVES ‘JUMPMAN’ A JUMP
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor just boosted “Jumpman!” It’s crazy how much impact and reach one Taylor Swift can have on something.
She does boast a crazy fanbase that is international, but to think a commercial of her listening to Drake and Future’s “Jumpman” while she works out boosting the single’s sale by a staggering 431 percent is insane!
Many reports have came out stating that globally the highly popular commercial of Taylor on the treadmill has had that kind of impact.
Aside from Drake and Future benefitting from the commercial, Apple of course had major rises with their #GymFlow playlist climbing to No. 5 playlist of the week, a 325 percent rise.
If you’ve been living under a rock watch the commercial below:
DRAKE AND MEEK MILL PUT OUT NEW MUSIC
It’s no secret Drake will be releasing his highly anticipated album ‘Views From The 6’ this month.
He added a little hype this week with the release of two songs, one which feature Kanye West and Jay-Z, also known as The Throne.
Champagne Papi’s nemesis, Meek Mill also dropped two songs of his own to add to the beef in which he took some shots at Drizzy. This is becoming a trend for Meek who also did the same thing when Drake dropped “Summer Sixteen.”
Don’t be surprised if Meek Milly releases a surprise album or mixtape whenever Drake decides to release VIEWS.
NICKI ON ELLEN
Nicki Minaj went on The Ellen Show and talked about “a boy that likes her” referring to her bae, Meek Mill. She also said, “she doesn’t want to say she’s in a relationship anymore.”
While the Internet went in on the comments and misconstrued them, if you watch the video you will see she didn’t actually mean her and Meek are no longer together.
The next day she went on her IG to profess her love for the “boy” that likes her, Meek. Let’s see how long these two will last.
“I don’t wanna hear about this ever again, not even when she tell ’em that they better as friends.”
CHRIS BROWN VS. TINASHE
Chris Brown is no stranger to throwing shade on social media and he is quick to spill out his feelings about anything he doesn’t agree with.
Breezy went in on the whole Kehlani situation by slamming the bay area R&B singer for her “attempted suicide” and told her to “stop flexing for the gram,” while showing support for Kyrie Irving.
Girls be mad at a nigga for fucking around wit bitches but her DMs got more names then the Declaration of Independence. #YEAHIMTHROWINGSHADE
He then commented on a Baller Alert picture and went all the way in on Tinashe or as he calls her “WHOISHAE.”
“I hope she talked about ‘HER’ career for most of this interview ‘WHOISHAE’ TINASHAE,” he wrote. “I hope they rehearsing for those performance (power 106 charity basketball game halftime show) give her credit though, 30 16 year old hobbit face ass. WE WANT MUSIC, WE WANT MUSIC, WE WANT MUSIC!! TEACH ME HOW TO JERK FACE ASS.”
It’s clear Chris has no chill and no filter. He’s a real standup guy.
L.A. CHASE LIKE NO OTHER
L.A. is notorious for crazy police chases. This week we got a show when two suspects cruised the streets of L.A. weaving thru traffic and even doing donuts in the middle of Sunset Boulevard.
Watch it below:
Here are a couple other crazy chases:
Throwing money out the window:
OJ the juice on the loose:
The Lexus that never made it to Texas:
Let me know the craziest one in the comments below.
This week’s Indie Pick of the Week, J Romero aspired to be a professional soccer player before he ever orchestrated a hook on a track or laid down any kind of vocals.
He was born in Antioch, California before he relocated to Arizona with his mom, brother and sister. Growing up in a latino household he was into soccer “big time” and began playing when he was 7-years-old.
At 17-years-old his soccer dreams were crushed when he tore his ACL playing football. After coping with the draining emotions of having to give up on something he worked so hard on, he redirected his attention to music.
“I’m just a young Latino that never even thought about making music, all I wanted to do is play soccer but like my team and I say…”God Is The Best Chest Player,” he said. “My journey has had a lot of ups and downs”
Things seem to be more on the ups than the downs these days for J and his musical career. His most recent project ‘If These Walls Could Talk’ display his brilliant vocals and melodies that never seem to miss a beat.
He describes his thought process as simple, all he needs is great energy and vibes the rest takes care of itself. Usually he just goes in the booth and freestyles words till he finds the right one that aligns with the production.
“It all comes to me once I vibe to the melody,” he said. “All the music I write or put out is the way I was feeling in that exact moment of my life. “
The heat of the moment is everything for J when coming up with ideas for new music.
“I do my songwriting in the moment whether it be in the shower, car, or studio. As soon as I get an idea I voice memo it if I’m not in the studio to record it ASAP,” he said.
His musical inspirations are widely ranged in different genres with the likes of: Usher, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Drake, Daddy Yankee, Marc Anthony, J. Lo, Enrique Iglesias and Chris Brown. People have even gone as far as calling him the “Mexican Chris Brown,” although he doesn’t compare himself to anyone.
“I couldn’t compare myself to anyone because everyone has a different way they make music or work in their life but I have always had ppl tell me I’m going be the Mexican Chris Brown or the next Enrique,” he said.
One thing he does take pride in is repping Arizona, and feels that it is the next city to be booming not only musically, but as a whole in the entertainment industry.
“People over look Arizona very much so and Arizona has a lot of talent whether it be music, modeling, acting, ect.,” he said. “Arizona is definitely going to be the next big state to blow up for sure. Eventually the industry will start paying more attention to the over flowing of talent here.”
He and fellow Arizona artist, Vee The Rula will soon be dropping their forthcoming single titled “Be The One,” so look out for that.
“I’m working on many other tracks, just always expect great music from me in the future,” he exclaimed.
Rockie Fresh stopped by the studio with Justin Credible, during their convo they chopped it up his new mixtape that he is working with Casey Veggies, his musical influences both from Chicago and from outside of his home city, Lil Wayne being his favorite rapper of all time, collaborating with Chris Brown and Ed Sheeran, and his first ever rap battle and the lyrics he used.
The industry has seen a rise in artists that are multi-talented with the abilities to both sing and rap. J Woods is exactly that prototype.
Repping Toledo, Ohio by way of Los Angeles, Woods moved to the West Coast to increase his value as an artist and to gain exposure.
“In Ohio we don’t got any outlets for music foreal everybody know us for Bone-Thugs & Harmony or MGK,” he said. “So I decided to move to LA cause everything was moving.”
In LA he caught the attention of rapper, Glasses Malone, whom he began to do hooks for and then he teamed up with Joe Moses who threw him on his debut album, ‘Brackin.’
The Joe Moses collaboration has done really well and put Woods on a platform he probably wouldn’t have got to if he would’ve stayed in Toledo. Listen to their single “Party Starter” here:
Aside from rapping and singing, the 23-year-old is a well-versed musician having played drums and the violin.
“When I was young I used to play in plays for school, church etc.,” he said. “Every chance I could get I’d be in something dealing with music.”
Music has been a lifelong interest for Woods beginning with singing at 3-years-old and rapping at the age of 8. He recalls recording his own music at 12-years-old on cassette tapes and eventually moving on to computer microphones and Pro Tools.
Through the years he has really evolved as an artist and hopes to one day be able to work with his top two inspirations, Chris Brown and Wiz Khalifa.
“At the end of the day I want my daughter and my family to make sure we all good and we can all just live,” he said. “It’s hard coming from where I’m from people never really make it out so I keep my city on my back everywhere I go and rep for Ohio every chance I get.”
Check out his song “On Da Real” off his latest project, ‘Westside Story.’
If you have yet to hear Chris Brown’s latest offering Royalty, he pays homage to the legendary Keith Sweat with “Who’s Gonna (Nobody)”. Chris and his team (Shout out to Mike G) surprised everyone with a remix today featuring the legend himself. Check it out below, let us know what you think!
