Yachty and Veeze continue to build on their chemistry. It seems that every weekend Lil Yachty has a new single out and this time around it's called "Sorry Not Sorry". The track enlists the gravelly-voiced rapper from Detroit, Veeze. These two vastly different MCs are no strangers to each other. A lot of their past collaborations stem from the Georgia multi-hyphenate's 2021 record, Michigan Boy Boat. That project saw Lil Boat try his hand at the Detroit rap style, all while working alongside plenty of names from the area. BabyTron, Sada Baby, Icewear Vezzo, Tee Grizzley, and of course, Veeze. They worked on two songs together, including "Fight Night Round 3" and the closer, "This That One".

Big Glo replaces Tay B on this new version. Rob49, Skilla Baby, and GloRilla have all been tearing it up over the last year and change. It feels like each artist has really come into their own and are dropping the best material of their careers so far. Because of their boosts in popularity, it seems like each week they are on a new single or album. In terms of notable accomplishments for each one of them, here's probably their biggest. For GloRilla, its tough. But ultimately we are going to choose her new mixtape, Ehhthang Ehhthang. It has multiple hits as well as some of her best beat selection to date. For Skilla Baby, it has to be The Coldest. It's his biggest project with loads of co-signs from some the brightest stars.

According to Hurricane Chris, the $500K 50 Cent dropped on security could have been better spent elsewhere. Earlier this month, 50 Cent hosted Humor & Harmony Weekend in Shreveport, but not everyone was pleased with the lineup. He got called out by Luenell last week, who criticized him for not including any female comedians. Fif fired back yesterday, claiming that if she hadn't been booked and busy, he would have been interested in including her. Now, Hurricane Chris has weighed in, putting 50 Cent on blast for not highlighting more local artists.

Other fans were quick to point out that La La Anthony was there to accompany 11-year-old North West, so this might be an overreaction. North West is fresh off yet another feature thanks to VULTURES 2, and wants to hang out with celebrities just as much as her father Ye does. However, this resulted in some controversy when she linked up with popular streamer Tylil for some social media content. Moreover, many fans thought that this was an inappropriate meeting, or were instead concerned with the 11-year-old not hanging out with people that are her age. Still, other social media users pointed out that, not only was La La Anthony there to accompany her, but that North's security team is probably more than enough to prevent any dangers.

While the success of Latto's new album isn't solely measured by commercial performance, many fans hoped for a bigger splash. Latto's new album Sugar Honey Iced Tea has been a big hit for fans, but they are a bit disappointed with the wider music-consuming landscape for not showing the same love. Moreover, the project's official first week sales numbers are here courtesy of HITS Daily Double and Chart Data, pointing to a No. 14 debut on the Billboard 200 chart with 29K in album-equivalent units sold. Some of the Atlanta femcee's rival fanbases already clowned this debut, but it's not far off from what many other rap creatives are selling these days. As such, it's important to note that this is part of a wider conversation around rap's commercial status, not a sole attack or ridicule concerning a specific artist.

Steven Ellison is laying down a welcomed vocal performance on this track. Flying Lotus is showing to love to the 90s mystery drama Twin Peaks with his new single, "Garmonbozia". According to Pitchfork, "Garmonbozia" is a creamed corn like dish that represents "pain and sorrow". We aren't really sure what that all means, as our knowledge on the show is limited. However, it seems that the Los Angeles, California singer, rapper, and producer has a lot of love for the program that ran for two seasons and was canceled in 1991. In fact, back in 2017, Flying Lotus remixed the TV show's theme. Also making this track extra special is that Steven Ellison (Flying Lotus) is laying down some blissful vocals.

Jay-Z and Beyonce chose to hit up the New York City nightlife scene after Fanatics Fest on Friday (August 16).

Hov also recreated the sports bar at Fanatics Fest over the weekend. As such, it's no wonder the power couple wants to see what else is up in the Big Apple for a night out.
