New Video: Travis Scott – “Sicko Mode” Feat. Drake [WATCH]

Without a doubt “Sicko Mode” is the best song off Travis Scott’s critically-acclaimed ‘ASTROWORLD’ album and today Young La Flame gives the single more life (no pun) by dropping the visuals.

The Dave Meyers-directed video is shot in Travis’ hometown of Houston, Texas and includes trippy scenes and a bunch of thrills. It begins with Drake walking a dog as the sun hovers over his head, Travis then makes his apperance on a horseback before a bunch of tripped-out situations occur.

We talk about their project, Drake reaching out and showing them support, how they linked with Chief Keef on “Roxanne”, the musical buzz in Atlanta and Toronto, being featured in a NIKE campaign, their early beginnings, rise to fame, and more.

Quavo Hints At Drake & Migos Collaborative Album [PEEP]

During a sit-down with GQ, Quavo went undercover on Twitter for the magazine’s “Actually Me” series, where he responded to fan’s tweets regarding him and the Migos. “WAIT ON IT…”

A fan asked via Twitter, “Quick thought but what if Migos and Drake dropped a collab mixtape after the tour?,” which prompted Quavo’s response of, “You must be a psychic…If that don’t tell you something, I don’t know what to tell you.”

https://twitter.com/teranceduhh/status/1009255260353941504?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1009255260353941504&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rap-up.com%2F2018%2F10%2F09%2Fquavo-hints-at-migos-drake-joint-project%2F

Quavo further elaborated on the question during the interview saying, “That will be a whole lotta bangers,” he said. “I don’t even think we would play around and do regular music. We wouldn’t play. We will be just like a whole smash… because that’s how our tour is. It’s a club, from start to finish. It’s crazy.”

The idea isn’t really far-fetched as Drake has had a great relationship with the Migos from there humble beginnings and even gave them a co-sign by hopping on the remix of their “Versace” single, which gave them a major boost.

Aside from “Versace (Remix),” The 6 God and the Migos collaborated on “Walk It Talk It” earlier this year.

Before any collaboration album between the Drizzy and the group comes to fruition, Quavo will release his debut album, ‘Quavo Huncho’ this Friday. The album will include features from Travis Scott, Cardi B, Kid Cudi, 21 Savage, and even Drizzy himself.

French Montana Drops 3 New Singles Including “No Stylist” Feat. Drake [LISTEN]

French Montana has been readying his next album and follow-up to 2017’s ‘Jungle Rules’. It appears he is making some progress on it as he released three new singles today, including the previously-teased, “No Stylist” featuring Drake.

Produced by London On Da Track, the single reunites Drake and French, who have collaborated on “Stay Schemin,” “Pop That,” and “No Stylist.”

Montana comes through with raps about diamonds on his neck, flosses naming brands like Gucci, Louboutin, and Saint Laurent. Meanwhile Drake uses his verse to pledge his allegiance to Nike and take shots at ADIDAS and Kanye West rapping, “Keepin’ it G / I told her don’t wear no 350s around me.”

There’s already been videos surfacing of the music video for the single that will premiere on September 28th according to French. The video was shot in the Bronx and will include cameos from Slick Rick, Cam’ron, and Dapper Dan.

Along with this single, French dropped two other tracks called “Juice” and “Nervous.” It’s unclear whether the three singles will appear on the upcoming album, but you can count the Drake-assisted “No Stylist” will — there’s no way a single with Drizzy on it doesn’t make the cut.
