Life can come at you fast — and lightning speed best represents BlocBoy JB’s ascension into the rap game this year.

The Memphis-bred rapper saw his star power potential implode when his February 2018 Drake-assisted single, “Look Alive” infiltrated the charts, peaking at No. 5 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, No. 1 on Urban radio, No. 2 on Rhythmic and amassing more than 226 million Spotify streams and 137 million YouTube views.

Now the inevitable mixtape announcement has arrived and Blocboy JB has announced that Simi will arrive on Friday, May 4, ahead of his Rolling Loud Festival performance.

The project will feature Ben Billion and Tay Keith, with additional credits slated to be revealed at a later date to increase anticipation.

Take a look at the BlocBoy JB Simi cover art down below.

Travis Scott Teams With Kanye West & Lil Uzi Vert For "Watch" Single

Kanye West’s controversial slavery comments didn’t stop Travis Scott from dropping a new song with Yeezy. Scott enlisted the help of West and Lil Uzi Vert for his latest single, “Watch.”

Yeezy has received plenty of hate this week for his incendiary statements about slavery being a “choice,” and it seems like his verse was recorded recently. He references being in the “sunken place” and his recent revelation about suffering from an opioid addiction.

Listen to “Watch” below.

Kanye West Reportedly Back In Wyoming To Finish 2018 Albums He Promised

Jackson Hole, WY – He came. He saw. He didn’t quite conquer.

Kanye West is reportedly heading back to the mountains of Wyoming after having had a whirlwind of a news week.

According to TMZ, sources have revealed that Ye left Los Angeles for Wyoming on Wednesday (May 2) to complete the five albums he’s currently working on. In addition to himself, the rapper’s assisting with albums from Nas, Kid Cudi, Pusha T, and Teyana Taylor.

Wyoming serves as familiar territory for Kanye who previously spent a heavy amount of time in the state working with the likes of Mike Dean and Travis Scott.

Despite the amount of controversy and criticism his TMZ Live appearance has garnered, the media outlet’s sources let it be known that the Chicago wordsmith thought his episode was “fire” and is proud of himself for starting a dialogue.

The most controversial part of the episode consisted of Kanye sharing his belief that 400 years of slavery seemed like “a choice.” The comment drew criticism from everyone from Ava DuVernay to T.I.

In the meantime, Kanye will reportedly be in Wyoming for several weeks. His still-untitled — still album coverless — eight solo album is scheduled to arrive June 1.

The Kids See Ghost project with Kid Cudi has been announced to drop a week later.
