Lil Nas X has been on fire recently with his hit “Old Town Road” topping the Billboard charts for eight weeks. On Tuesday, he revealed the cover art for his upcoming album 7 along with more details.
“8 songs will be on the EP! NEXT MONTH,” he wrote of the project’s June release date. “I’m tryna make a visualizer (video) for every song on the ep and tryna work with upcoming animators on each one.”
The cover art features Lil Nas X on horseback, approaching a large, futuristic city. I take this to mean how he is planning on mixing hip hop and country music, just like “Old Town Road”.
Previously, Lil Nas X had teased fake cover art which was a reference to Drake’s legendary mixtape Nothing was the Same.

An unreleased demo of Pusha T’s “What Would Meek Do?” from his 2018 album DAYTONA has surfaced online.
Unlike the official release, this version has a verse from Kanye, with an interesting reference to what is probably J Cole.
“I am the Don of Vuitton / I am the Sean of Sean John / That’s the boss, ni**a,” raps Kanye. “You heard Cole on that song, he was tryna hate.”
Since there hasn’t been any news of beef between the two rappers, Kanye’s snipe at Cole is likely a reference to Cole’s song False Prophets. Though there is no explicit reference to Ye, it is mostly agreed upon that this song is about how J Cole realizes he can no longer idealize Kanye. “So he grows out of control/ Into the person that he truly was all along, it’s startin’ to show”
Despite the demo being taken down, I’m anxious to see how J Cole will respond to this. Let us know what you think in the comments.
Ed Sheeran has just dropped a new single featuring Chance the Rapper and PnB Rock. It is going to be on Sheeran’s upcoming album No. 6 Collaborations, that yes, will feature numerous collaborations.
With a catchy hook from PnB, Chance is the real star on this track. He brags about how close he is with his wife, Kirsten Corley. Since she’s been doing CrossFit, she can knock out any other guy that flirts with her. He also praises her authority and that anyone who wants to be friends with him, has to respect his woman.
Listen to the track below and let us know what you think in the comments.
On “Foto” Kota the Friend gives you a full story of his upbringing, his struggles, Fatherhood, Love, and how his life has changed. This album is a soulful body of work, full of bars and good vibes. Foto is filled with 19 tracks of mellow vibes that you can play on a long car ride, a night drive, in your room laying upside down, or even when life is getting too stressful Kota the Friend is here to help. This album is produced mainly by Kota himself, but he has features from Saba, Lizzy Ashliegh, and Hello Oshay.
The album isn’t something that has party bangers, but it is an actual project that skipping one song can mess up the whole vibe. Kota has songs for when you are with your significant other like ” Birdie“, “Chicago Diner“, and “Bagels“, these tracks will tell your significant other how much they mean to you without you saying a word. Its the time for love and Kota is helping us shy, tight lip, non- emotional people out. Kota makes his life so relatable and that is what really makes this album slap. On tracks like “Church“, “Hollywood“, “Solar Returns“, “Sedona“, “Mommy” and ” Good to Be Home“, he makes you feel like he’s no different from you. What really surprised me about this album was how much game Kota was giving the black culture throughout the project. Mainly on tracks like Alkaline“, “For Colored Boys“, and “Foto“, he really champions us but also encourages us to practice more self love, love our women more, make advancements for the culture, love the people around us, and to stop listening and following white people. Kota the Friend has an album that won’t receive much global attention until later on in the year or even until he drops his second project. but this has the making of being a classic album for him and many people don’t realize it.
Kota the Friend did exactly what he was supposed to do on this album and that was to make us feel like he was our friend. Kota is the best friend that everybody needs but usually doesn’t get. He’s the friend that will always ride for you with no problem, he is the friend that will keep you grounded but will also let you know when its time to turn up. The one who will call you out on all your bullshit but still love you for all your flaws. The friend that will stick by your side through the ups and downs of life. The friend that you grow up with and be able to share stories with your kids at the cookout. Kota the Friend, Foto is his personal letter to you to let you know everything will be ok even if he’s not there with you. You can listen to “Foto” on all major streaming platforms.
Cardi B is attempting to make some more money moves. After an impressive run of a record Grammy’s performance and a new baby, Cardi B has filed for a trademark for the name “Bocktails with Cardi B”, according to TMZ. The website reports that the show is for “entertainment services in the nature of providing ongoing episodes for distribution via television and the Internet featuring celebrities and artists.”
From what I can ascertain, this sounds like a show with Cardi being joined by various celebrities, drinking. I’m sure there will be more to it even if I’m right about the drinking part: games, activities, and scenarios while drunk.
The trademark did not stop at a television show, though. There will also be a roll-out of “clothing, including shirts, t-shirts, sweatshirts, hooded sweatshirts, hats, caps, footwear, skirts, dresses, blouses, sweaters, pants and shorts.”
And as expected, Cardi B wants the name for “alcoholic beverages, except beer and beverages containing beer.”
DJ Khaled and Will Smith have collaborated on the live action Aladdin’s soundtrack with the remake of the iconic song “Friend Like Me”
The song was originally sung by Robin Williams (R.I.P.), but Smith got a little jiggy with it and added a little funk to it. DJ Khaled produced the song, and adds in his famous ad-libs in the background.
Will Smith plays the genie in the remake, told Entertainment Weekly how he planned to honor the classic role but at the same time, make it his: “I started to feel confident that I could deliver something that was an homage to Robin Williams but was musically different. Just the flavor of the character would be different enough and unique enough that it would be in a different lane, versus trying to compete.”
