Meek Mill Pledges Allegiance To Drake With "Life Is Good" Quote

Meek Mill is feeling Drizzy's "Life Is Good" verse.

So much can change in a few years. Despite being bitter enemies for a brief spell, Drake and Meek Mill have since forged an unbreakable bromance much to the delight of their respective fanbases. Though we've only seen one collaboration in "Going Bad" since their mutual decision to bury the hatchet, it seems as if Meek and Drizzy will remain in constant communication whenever new music is being created. So much so that Meek recently took to IG to further pledge his loyalty to the Champagne Papi.

"Someone hit ya block up I’ll tell you if it’s us," writes Meek, alongside a picture of a grinning Drake. Clearly, he's a fan of "Life Is Good," the most recent dose of menacing luxury raps from the What A Time To Be Alive duo. It should also be noted that Meek's line suggests a pledge of loyalty, all but solidifying himself as one of Drake's go-to generals. Perhaps it's to be expected after Drizzy publically declared his comeback to be the greatest of all time. 

While this is hardly a groundbreaking development, it's certainly cool to see how far Meek and Drake have come. From lyrical warfare to open declarations of bromance. What a time to be alive.

Red Hot Chili Peppers Have A New Album with John Frusciante Back In The Band

Christmas came early last month when the Red Hot Chili Peppers announced guitarist John Frusciante would be rejoining the band. With multiple festival dates now booked, fans are right to be excited about the development.


Now, in a new interview with Rolling Stone, drummer Chad Smith said, “I was given strict orders for this interview: ‘DON’T TALK ABOUT THE BAND,’” he told the magazine. “But, yes, John is back in the band, and everyone knows that. We’re psyched. The festivals are the only shows booked. For now, we’ll mostly be concentrating on new songs and writing a new record. We’re all real excited to make new music.”

So not only can fans expect to hear the band’s best lineup, there’s a good chance they’ll also be able to hear some new music at the shows.

? Calvin Harris Is Dropping New Music Ahead of Coachella ?

It’s been eight months since we last got some new Calvin Harris, the 2019 update of his hit “I’m Not Alone” he dropped last April. Since he’s returning to the desert this April for the first time since he headlined the festival in 2016, it’s only appropriate that he’s dropping something new! Or somethings…


Responding to fans on Twitter today, Calvin Harris said we’ll be getting “plenty of music” in the next “couple of weeks” he thinks. This is fantastic news considering the constant quality of his productions and the possibility for special guests on the Polo Field.

Check out the tweets below and brace yourselves for new Calvin soon!

S1 Confirms Eminem Has Been Recording Lots Of New Music


Can we expect a new Eminem album in 2020?

Eminem has been relatively quiet since dropping off Kamikaze in 2018, emerging from the shadows to lay down verses for Boogie, Conway, Logic, and Fat Joe. Even amidst increasing vitriol from Nick Cannon and Lord Jamar, Slim has opted to keep quiet and focus on the task at hand. As such, speculation of a new album began to circulate, despite any lack of concrete details. Thankfully, HipHopNMore sat down for a dope conversation with producer Symbolyc 1, aka S1, who confirmed that Em was putting in some serious work.

Coming off contributions to Em’s “Nice Guy” and “Normal,” HHNM openly whether Em was crafting his tenth studio album, prompting an intriguing response from S1. “I’ve been working with Eminem quite a bit,” he reveals. “They’re always real quiet and real secretive but I just know he’s been cutting a lot of records so we’ll see what happens with that.”

Aside from working with Em, S1 also reveals he’s been contributing to J. Cole‘s upcoming album, which has been all but confirmed for a 2020 release. Clearly, the storied producer is looking at another big year. As are the fans. Be sure to check out the whole interview over at HHNM, and sound off below — are you excited for a new project from Slim Shady?

[PREMIERE] Sullivan King Drops Hotly Anticipated Remix Of Kayzo "Alone"

Sullivan King and Kayzo have a bunch of material together due out in 2020, including a joint remix of “Helena” by My Chemical Romance. But the first to drop is a Sully remix of “Alone” featuring Our Last Night, from Kayzo’s latest album.


“Alone” was the lead single off Unleashed when Kayzo first announced it in 2019, so it holds a bit of a special place on the album. (Not to mention it’s also the first song on the album.) So when Sullivan King got his hands on it, you can bet he treated it right.

The remix starts just as the original did, but the first drop goes a much heavier bass route than the more instrumental direction Kayzo took. It’s wild and brash, exactly what we’d expect when someone tells you “Sullivan King remixed Kayzo.” But, it’s the final drop that really brings the metal into the equation, with intense guitar, drums, and screams.

“I’ve known Hayden (Kayzo) for as long as I’ve been in music and having seen what he’s done for our style of music and how he’s helped bring it beyond the EDM vein and into a more mainstream light is so awesome. He and I both come from the same background of music and that’s why I’ve personally had such a connection with his music and sound. I really am just happy to see how this scene of metal/rock and dubstep has progressed so fast, and wanted this remix to just keep propelling that vision I think we both have” – Sullivan King

Check out the remix below!

Justin Bieber Accused Of Doing Too Much To Get "Yummy" To #1

Justin Bieber's battling Roddy Ricch for the #1 spot.

Justin Bieber jumped on Instagram Live yesterday and recorded himself on a bus with his wife Hailey Bieber as he invited fans to join his live session, just to ask them if they've streamed and downloaded his recent single, "Yummy." After getting a "yes" from most of his fans, he asked them to promise him they downloaded or bought the track, all in an effort to get his single to #1 on Billboard.

Justin's self-promo behaviour has pulled in some reactions from fans and users on Twitter who think the Canadian singer is tricking the system to get his number one placement. A banner appeared online that details instructions for fans to listen to "Yummy" on low volume while you sleep as well as buying the song on his website "multiple times." We can't confirm if Justin's team made the ad or if it was an eager fan following in Justin's footsteps. 

Justin's new single is competing with Roddy Ricch's “The Box” for number one and it seems as though fans of each artist are fighting for their designated song. 

Justin hasn't responded to these accusations of him "not playing fair" when it comes to pulling streams but it's clear he's not slowing down. We'll have to wait until Tuesday to see who gets the #1 spot.

Shaggy Says He Declined Collaborating With Rihanna For "R9"


Shaggy didn’t want to “audition” to be apart of the project.

We’re still waiting on the arrival of Rihanna‘s R9, an album that seems to be put on hold indefinitely at this point. While RihRih’s been building the Fenty empire in the past few years, we’ve yet to hear much music from her. We do, however, know a few things about the project including the direction she’s taken with the album. She’s tapping into a more dancehall/reggae sound for this album and enlisting some heavy hitters in the scene to help bring it to life.

One of the people that was reportedly reached out to was Shaggy. In a recent interview, the international reggae star revealed that Rihanna’s peeps had reached out to him for a collab on R9 but he ended up declining. His reason? He didn’t feel the need to audition for it.

“They approached me for the Rihanna project, yeah. There’s a lot of great people involved, but for me, I didn’t need to audition to be on the record. I’ll leave that to younger guys,” he said. “But from what I hear, it should be good.”

She previously shared details in a cover with Vogue, explaining that the direction of reggae just feels right. “It’s in my blood. It doesn’t matter how far or long removed I am from that culture, or my environment that I grew up in; it never leaves. It’s always the same high. Even though I’ve explored other genres of music, it was time to go back to something that I haven’t really homed in on completely for a body of work,” she said.
