New Music: Rucci – “Killa” [LISTEN]

This is romance for the ride or die relationships, for the girls that hide your drugs and stash the pistol in their purse when 12 try to f**k with you. Rucci got one for the heartbreak and the thots with his new one, “Killa.”

Tuck & Holiday flip Zapp & Roger’s “Computer Love” for Rucci and produce a banger. Rucci takes a Bone Thuggish cadence and expands it into something brand new for the hook.

The video features the ups and downs of a couple, from fucking to fighting, as Rucci narrates his raps in the room as if he wasn’t even there. But the highlight of the video gotta be when Inglewood’s finest sets the tone by dancing with his shirt off in the rain in front of a big body Benz.

New Video: BLXST – “Overrated” [LISTEN]

Blxst takes you on a ride through his neighborhood in the visuals for his new song, “Overrated”.

Expect old school classic convertibles, blue California skies and long streets lined with tall palm trees. Blxst sings about the things that truly matter to him and puts his values on the line.

A smooth soulful record like this is perfect for the backyard boogie as night starts falling. One listen and you can tell cuffing season is quickly approaching. Anything outside of this right here is overrated.

NAS Talks New Album ‘King’s Disease’, Addresses Doja Cat Lyric In “Ultra Black” & More [PEEP]

Queens legend NAS pulled up via ZOOM to speak with the L.A. Leakers Justin Credible and DJ Sourmilk.

Fresh off the release of his newest project ‘King’s Disease’, Nas and his KD close hand producer Hit-Boy discussed the coming together to create the latest body of work.

Coming up under hip-hop pioneers who created and paved the way for artists like Nas to establish career longevity, the “Ultra Black” emcee tips his hat to those before him and also spoke on how rappers of his prime cultivated the genre of reality hip-hop but elevated rap’s popularity. As Nas and Hit-boy connected for the project, the Grammy wining and go-to Los Angeles producer explained that his work with the late Juice WRLD inspired his momentum for creating the sound and depth of Nas’ 13th studio release.

As Nas came under much scrutiny for his lead single “Ultra Black” seemingly, what many believed, taking aim at rapper Doja Cat, the hip-hop veteran took a moment to clear the air to note that there was no harm or disrespect meant behind the lyrics.

Nas goes on to talk the meaning behind the project’s title, reconnecting with Foxxy Brown and The Firm, confesses that he believes his album ‘Life Is Good’ was slept on, and much more.

Watch the full Nas & Hit-Boy x L.A. Leakers interview below.
