Turning a fashion show into a music video, A$AP Rocky, Quavo, and Playboi Carti show off their collection of RAF SIMONS clothing in the visuals for “RAF,” which also features Frank Ocean and Lil Uzi Vert. The latter duo does not appear in the video however.

Filled with trippy cutouts and VHS-like, grainy film Rocky, Quavo, and Carti perform their verses while trying on different “RAF” cuts. The video could have easily been part of a RAF SIMONS campaign.

Travis Scott Drops Three New Songs [PEEP]

travis-scott-am-gp-be

While on his “Birds Eye View Tour”, Travis Scott surprises fans with three new songs for them to get LIT to! The trio of songs is very exciting for the religious, balcony-jumping Scott follower, as it could be a sign that his forthcoming album ‘ASTROWORLD’ is coming sooner rather than later. All along the tour, La Flame has been promising fans that he will be unleashing new music and the promise has been kept.

On the first track, “A Man”, Scott pays his respects and praises the lord for all his blessings, while showing he’s grateful for all of his success. It is pretty consistent sounding with Scott’s style and reminiscent of his song “A Team”.

The second track “Green & Purple”, Travis unites with Playboi Carti for magnificent trippy turn-up song. Using full autotune effects, the Houston rapper cooks up a melodic hook, while Playboi ignites the track with some flavor of his own. Listen below.

The final song “Butterfly Effect” is the more mellow sounding song of the three. On it Scott spits rhymes about illicit drugs coated as candy. Listen below.

Neither of these songs are expected to land on Scott’s forthcoming ‘ASTROWORLD’ album, but there is a chance atleast one could. The rapper will continue on his “Birds Eye View Tour” until July 9th, before hitting the road with Kendrick Lamar for the “DAMN. Tour” starting July 12th.

Tory Lanez has been on a remixing spree. After putting his twist on DJ Khaled’s “Shining” and other singles, the Toronto crooner remixes Playboi Carti’s “Magnolia” joint. In his version he shares the desire to fuck Cardi B. (Not sure how Offset feels about that)

The “Magnolia” producer Pierre Bourne recently posted a photo of someone asking permission for Tory to use it and he apparently didn’t allow it.

playboi-carti-uzi-vert

Playboi Carti and Lil Uzi Vert have been working on a lot of new music together. Following their single “Lookin,” the duo drop the Beyonce-inspired “Woke Up Like This.”

Over the Pierre Bourne catchy production, Carti and Uzi rap about other rappers biting their sound. Carti raps on the chorus, “woke up to n****s talking like me, woke up to n****s sounding like me.”

Aside from the music, Uzi has been creating waves with the #LilUziVertChallenge, where people try to recreate the rapper’s dance moves, led by Uzi’s shoulders.
