French Montana’s “Lockjaw” recently earned a gold certification by the RIAA. To celebrate the accomplishment, Montana released a remix featuring Kodak Black, who was on the original, Jeezy, Rick Ross, and DJ Khaled.
“Lockjaw” was one of Montana’s hit singles along with “No Shopping” featuring Drake, off his cancelled ‘MC4’ album. Back in July a remix featuring Gucci Mane surfaced but didn’t make as much noise as this one. Listen below.

Even though French Montana’s ‘MC4’ never came to fruition and was cancelled following various issues, the rapper is still dropping visuals for singles off the album. French hits the beach canyon to kick it with a few models in the video for “Xplicit” featuring Miguel.

UPDATE: French Montana’s ‘MC4′ went from multiple release date changes, to being put on shelfs early, to being leaked, to being cancelled to now being available for purchase and streaming.
The album that wasn’t supposed to be includes 14 songs with help from Drake, Kanye West, Jeezy, Nas, A$AP Rocky, Max B, the late Chinx, and more.

Read the original story below.
Following a release date change, a leaking fiasco, and sample clearing issues French Montana has elected to just completely cancel his ‘MC4’ album.
The album was supposed to be released August 26th, but was pushed back due to “lack of buzz” according to EPIC Records CEO, L.A. Reid. To add insult to injury the album later leaked online after several international stores put it one shelves before its release date.
French “ain’t worried ’bout nothing” as he has moved forward, telling Complex that his new project is 70% complete. Read what else French said about ‘MC4’ and also Max B’s impending release from prison in an interview with Complex below.
Can you explain the setbacks with MC4?
Songs like “I’m Heated” and “Two Times” couldn’t be cleared. By the time I got the mix how I recorded it, it wasn’t the same. I just ain’t have the same feeling for it. Everybody had to replay shit, and do all this extra shit, so I wasn’t in the mood to put it together. All the music going to come out, you know what I’m saying, just packaged differently. Plus, the album got leaked.
Do you feel like you let the fans down?
Nah, I feel like I didn’t because I’m going to still drop something.
Was it hard walking away from MC4?
Yeah, of course. [But] let me tell you something: I’m never married to a date. I got 17 mixtapes I put together, and one album—that’s 18 projects in my whole career. I’m never married to a date. I put it out whenever it’s right. You could force yourself to make it to that date, but if it’s not right, [if] it don’t come out right, you can’t force it.
Have you started working on a new project?
Yeah, I’m like 70 percent done.
What’s something you want to accomplish with the new release that you didn’t with Mac & Cheese 4?
Just make sure it don’t get leaked. That’s why I don’t want to announce the name or nothing. I just want to wait until it’s done and just drop it. Make sure it don’t leak, make sure everything is cleared before I announce anything.
You’re supposedly going to drop a mixtape in October?
Yup, a project. It’s going to be some of the best music you’ve ever heard.
You and Max B came up together, and you’ve stayed in touch with him since he was sentenced to 75 years in prison in 2009. In September, it was revealed he will be up for release in just two years. Where were you when you first heard that news?
I been knew he had an appeal, but I found out from [music executive] Frank Babar—Frank is this guy who helped me and Max out—while I was on the Bad Boy Tour. We been working trying to get him out since he got in. We had our fingers crossed, you know?

French Montana gathers the original Coke Boys, Max B and Chinx on “Paid For” produced by Harry Fraud, The Alchemist, and Masar.
On the track French reflects on his fallen brother Chinx and looks forward to Max B getting released from Federal Penitentiary. The emotional first half includes Montana’s mom sharing a prayer for both her son and Max Biggaveli.
A few weeks ago Montana shared on SnapChat that Max B’s 75-year prison sentence was shortened and the rapper should be home in 2-3 years.
“Paid For” was supposed to be on French’s now cancelled ‘MC 4’. Read about the album’s cancellation and more HERE.

French Montana and Drake have been teasing what is now known as “No Shopping” for a couple months, after a snippet of the song made its rounds on the Internet. The song was premiered today on Apple Music’s OVO Sound Radio.
On the snippet you can clearly hear a “pump, pump, pump it up” which was a shot by Drake at rapper Joe Buddens, resulting in Buddens dropping a few diss tracks aimed at the 6 God.
Drizzy continues throwing shots at Buddens on his verse by rapping, “I’m not a one-hit wonder, they know all my stuff,” he raps. “You let me turn into the ni**a that you almost was.”
French meanwhile takes the braggadocio route by rapping, “Word to Diddy, we Cirocin’/ Word to Biggie, we’ll be Pac-in’/I just bought Selena’s crib, I’m poppin’/I just told Drizzy, “Let me take Serena to the tropics.”
The video for the song should be coming soon as the two recently shot it in the Dominican Republic.
Listen to the full song below.
“No Shopping” will be on French Montana’s sophomore album ‘MC4’ dropping August 19th. Pre-order it HERE.
