Ever since 6ix9ine came home from jail, legendary artist Akon has been going to bat for him. Akon defended why 6ix9ine ended up snitching on his fellow gang members and at one point, Akon seemed to be interested in doing a hit battle with Tekashi. Now, the two are going even farther with their newfound friendship as Akon has been hanging out at 6ix9ine’s house where the rainbow-haired rapper has his very own makeshift studio.

In the clip below, Tekashi and Akon are jamming out to a brand new track in which 6ix9ine speaks on being thrown in prison. Akon can be seen bobbing his head and eventually, we hear his hook from the classic track “Locked Up.” In 6ix9ine’s post, he refers to the song as “Locked Up Part 2” and that he is currently in album mode.

6ix9ine urged his fans to comment on the IG post and said that if he gets 100,000 comments, he will release the song. Tekashi has been teasing another track over the past few weeks and it was originally going to come out on June 5th but it got pushed back to June 12th.

With this latest collaboration in mind, perhaps there really is some steam to this whole 6ix9ine comeback tour.

Last week was the two-year anniversary of Gunna's mixtape, Drip Season 3. To celebrate, the YSL rapper posted the project's cover art on Instagram and asked his fans a question: "Should I drop DS4 or DOD3 next ?? OR ??" The second acronym refers to his Drip or Drown series, the sequel of which was released last year. 21 Savage and many others in the comments section of Gunna's post voted in favor of the third alternative, namely the alternative that calls for another alternative. "BOTH," they requested. 

Gunna hasn't shared any updates regarding which project he plans to share next or whether he will heed the call for two at once, but he's ready to get the ball rolling on releasing new music. On Sunday, he posted a mirror selfie - dripping in a purple Bape sweatsuit - and wrote in the caption that he's "dropping something next week." We know WUNNA isn't prepping a mere loosie though because he also tweeted "only thing I’m crazy about this Album rite now." Whichever drip-centric album he wishes to lead with, we're ready for it... and praying that it includes a collaboration with Solange.
