Brooklyn drill rapper Sleepy Hallow just announced that his new album, titled Sleepy For President, will be dropping later this week, and we can expect to hear some exciting features on it. Sleepy made the announcement on Wednesday (June 3rd) Instagram by sharing the official album art by @kidflvsh and the tracklist for the project.

“THIS FRIDAY, JUNE 5th,” Sleepy wrote in the caption. “IF Y’ALL READY DROP SOME COMMENTS !” On the front cover, Sleepy appears in animated form, smoking and counting his cash while he has his feet up on the desk in the Oval Office as the world bursts into flames outside his window. The title of the album reads Sleepy Hallow Presents: Sleepy For President, and on the back, a full tracklist of 12 songs is laid out. Featured artists include Sleepy’s frequent collaborator and close friend, Sheff G, along with fellow Brooklyn rappers, Fivio Foreign and Jay Critch, and R&B singer, Foushee. 

Sleepy For President will follow Sleepy’s debut project, DON’T SLEEP, which dropped last October. Check out the full tracklist below and keep an eye out for Sleepy’s sophomore project dropping this Friday.

Once upon a time, Rich The Kid and Lil Uzi Vert were at odds. Prior to announcing last year that their beef has been put to rest, the artists were going at each other in videos, during live shows, and anywhere they were able to take verbal jabs at one another. Why these two were going so hard remained a mystery, but Adam22 revealed to Vlad TV that it all stemmed from Rich wanting to ink a deal with Uzi.

After Vlad spoke at length about how terrible of an interviewee Rich The Kid is and how his feature was one of the worst-performing of the year “by far,” Adam22 chimed in to add that Rich is a smart guy. “He almost signed Uzi, he signed Famous Dex,” Adam said. Vlad couldn’t believe it. “Yeah, that’s what their beef was about,” Adam added. “It was super early on.”

“Uzi was one of those dudes that Rich was hanging out with and thought was going to sign to him and obviously it would have been his biggest success to date as an A&R,” Adam said. In the end, Uzi signed with Generation Now. “[If he] got him to sign to Rich Forever, that would be unbelievable. He would be beefing with Rich The Kid right now instead of DJ Drama.”

Watch the clip below and check out what else these two had to say about Jay Critch while continuing to discuss how unfriendly Rich The Kid comes across to the media.

Today marks the 23rd birthday of Rich The Kid‘s protege, New York lyricist Jay Critch. Though his career remains relatively new in the grand scheme of things, it’s clear that Critch is a talented artist with deep potential; Rich The Kid was right to keep an eye on him and bring him into the Rich Forever fold, where he quickly solidified himself as the label’s nicest lyricist. And while he has yet to come through with an unmitigated classic album, Critch has crossed paths with a genuine hip-hop legend, an encounter Rich took to Instagram to highlight in celebratory fashion. 

Ever the homie, Rich shared some heartfelt words to his young artist, writing “you already a legend let’s make this shit legendary happy b day.” To further emphasize that flattering point, Rich shared an image presumably grabbed from the “New Freezer” sessions or an encounter that occurred shortly thereafter. Together, the Rich Forever boys post up with none other than Kendrick Lamar, a reminder that sometimes the unlikeliest paths can cross in this strange and wonderful rap game. 

Perhaps it’s time to go back and revisit “New Freezer,” which quickly became one of 2017’s biggest anthems upon its release in late 2017; from that point on, Rich The Kid was ushered into the big leagues — sloppy though his navigation of said big leagues might sometimes be, it seems like the affable mogul has been doing alright. Happy birthday Jay Critch!
