The next hit song on the Billboard charts is G Herbo’s “Everything” featuring Lil Uzi Vert & Chance The Rapper. On February 16th, G Herbo released a deluxe edition of his album Humble Beast including the new remix to his song.
Listen to the track here:
Herbo said that Chance contacted him that he loved the track, and who wouldn’t? It is a perfectly paced song that is the embodiment of “swag”.
Herbo said happily:
The best part of this song is that Chance the Rapper seems to get grimier on these lyrics. Instead of his usual gospel rap, he seems to be more hip-hop on this track. Unfortunately, his verse is short and near the end but it still adds a lot to the song.
Lil Uzi Vert kills his verse with a great contribution that almost overshadows G Herbo. Lil Uzi Vert is always known for being a beast in his tracks and he certainly proves his talent.
Lil Uzi Vert raps,
“Yuh, everything
My new whip, that bitch, it came with everything
I’ma turn that boy into a heavy stain
Whipping up that dope, yeah, that’s that heavy cream
I been fucking on your bitch since I was 17
Even though my Glock hold 30, this a 17
Chop it up, whole thing from the Medellín
My old gun, that shit was dirty but I kept it clean
Mask off, remember me
Extra button on the back cause my uzi a lemon squeeze
Gucci, Louis, Fendi, Prada, swag swag swag, that’s my disease
Fuck her once, I gotta leave, smoking dope, I’m Japanese
Fucked her in the master suite, I ball like an athlete”
Do you like or do you love this remix? Hopefully, we can get more great collaborations throughout the year. Everything is truly everything.
The music world mourns Amy Winehouse. Since her death in 2011, fans have been upset that we will never hear new music from her again. She was one of my favorite artists and I usually spend a lot of my time listening to her old music. When demos get resurfaced it is always a great surprise that reminds us of the influence she had.
The demo “My Own Way” was reportedly recorded in composer and musician Gil Cang’s studio in 2001.
In 2015, it was announced that at least 14 unreleased demos were destroyed when she died. They decided not to release it because Winehouse couldn’t sign off on it.
He stated,

I think the highlight of this song is the opening as she sings:
Then the track breaks out into the chorus for the most of the song. It is a chill track that you should listen to with candles lit. Even though Winehouse didn’t sign off on the release, I feel like she would be proud of it.
Rest in Peace Amy Winehouse.
Your music has left its mark on this world.
Porter Robinson has been claimed to be, “EDM’s sensitive boy genius.” He has been at the forefront of the world of dance music by putting a twist on traditional EDM. Short after his debut, he made appearances in top-billed slots on festivals including Coachella, Tomorrowland, Creamfields and Lollapalooza.
He is best known for his song, “Sad Machine.”
Do yourself a favor and listen to it here:
Robinson has claimed to have a bit of writer’s block, so to inspire him again he began working on a project called “virtual self.” The Virtual Self EP dropped in November 2017 and drew inspiration from the ’90s and early 2000s trance. His vision was “rave nostalgia — one that’s viewed through the virtual lens of the internet and video game.”
He states:
He just released the video on February 28th, entitled, “Virtual Self – Ghost Voices.”
You can view it here:
Upon first viewing, it is incredible that Porter Robinson was able to create this as a result of a creative block. It really does take you into a different reality where one feels like they are back in a chat room. The vision is perfectly executed and draws up feelings of being otherworldly. Porter Robinson is always taking EMD and putting another spin on it and I think this is really different from what he has done in the past, but it also works so well. He has expanded his taste and being one of the top dance music inventors right now, he is bound to influence other artists. I can’t wait to see more of his vision in the future.

Drake’s music video for “God’s Plan” is has stayed for the fourth week at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the video has about 67 million views. The video was only released a week ago and it has been the topic of conversation for almost every radio host on the scene.
Check out the video here if you haven’t seen it already:
The video shows Drake giving out money to people in need and shows the emotional reaction of the people who are receiving the money. It was a very cute and wholesome video, but other people think differently.
Check out my review of Drake’s “God’s Plan” video here:
https://recmetro.com/2018/02/16/be-the-first-to-view-it-drake-gods-plan-music-video/
I did like the video but it didn’t quite match the song. Other people have much harsher criticism for this video.
Peter Rosenberg, a radio host on Hot 97 was critical of the authenticity of the “God’s Plan” video. Although Drake gave away one million dollars, he didn’t quite get the point of handing out money to seem like a God among men.
Check out Rosenberg’s full comment here:
Rosenberg also stated,
I agree with this statement. Drake is acting like he is the nicest person to ever exist by giving away his millions of dollars. It almost makes you feel sorry for the people receiving the money.
Drake was certainly pissed off by these comments since he was just trying to do an act of kindness for these people so he personally called the radio host.
Drake fired back by saying:
“What’s your problem with me? How did you make this a negative thing?”
Rosenberg commented back,
I think that Drake was being a little too sensitive by taking what a radio host said to heart. He is just trying to produce quality content for the listeners, and he does bring up a good point. It’s not that deep Drake, we still think you’re a good person.
