Dave East Teams Up With Harry Fraud for ‘HOFFA’ Album

DAVE EAST HOFFA

Last month, Harlem-bred Dave East teamed up with Millyz for the 6-track project, Pablo & Blanco.

Channeling the Colombian drug lord, Pablo Esobar, the rapper continues to channel notable mobsters with his latest offering, “HOFFA,” where he emulates James “Jimmy” Riddle Hoffa, an American labor union leader and former general president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT) union. Hoffa disappeared on July 30, 1972, and was declared dead on the same day, seven years later.

Hoffa was reportedly murdered by the mafia.

You may remember the name Jimmy Hoffa resurface during the promo of the 2019 Netflix film release of The Irishman, starring Robert Dinero, Al Pacino and Joe Pesci; and directed by Martin Scorcese.

With the help of Brooklyn producer Harry Fraud, East wanted to be able to show off his writing skills in a different way.

“The last few tapes I put out, I was really just freestyling on the record,” East tells Vice. “When I write, I’m a lot more detailed, a lot more intricate with the shit I’m talking about.” 

“HOFFA” serves as a follow-up to Dave East’s 2020 solo project, Karma 3 (Deluxe). Over the course of 14-tracks, “HOFFA” features guest appearances from Crunch Calhoun, Jim Jones, Steven Young, G Herbo, Benny The Butcher, French Montana, Curren$y, and the late Kiing Shooter

HOFFA drops on the anniversary of Jimmy Hoffa’s death.

Skilla Baby Drops The Coldest (Deluxe) miixtapechiick

Earlier this year, Skilla Baby released his 16-track project, “The Coldest,” via Geffen, featuring collaborations with Polo G, Flo Milli, Moneybagg Yo, G Herbo, DaBaby, Rob49, Mozzy, NoCap, Jeremih, and Tay B.

The Detroit native has now returned with the official deluxe version, which includes additional tracks such as “Soulja Slimm” featuring Rob49, “Bobby Trap on The River,” and “Body Bangin’,” among others. The deluxe edition also features contributions from Bossman DLow, Baby Money, and Southside.

“I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous but fun at the same time,” Skilla shared during the album’s initial press release. “As an artist, I’m known as the ‘girl’s guy,’ but I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions: mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc. I say that to say sorry for the wait, but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…,” he continued.

The deluxe version of “The Coldest” follows Skilla Baby’s joint tour with Rob49, “Vultures Eat The Most Tour.”

Mustard Releases New Album ‘Faith Of A Mustard Seed’  miixtapechiick

It’s been ten years since Mustard released his debut album, “10 Summers.” Now, after producing Kendrick Lamar‘s chart-topping hit “Not Like Us,” which spent two non-consecutive weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, Mustard returns with his fourth studio album, “Faith Of A Mustard Seed.”

The 14-track album features an impressive lineup, including Kirk Franklin, Lil Yachty, BlueBucksClan, 42 Dugg, Vince Staples, ScHoolboy Q, Quavo, and Rob49. The title, “Faith Of A Mustard Seed,” was inspired by the late Nipsey Hussle.

In an interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood, Mustard reminisced about a conversation with Nipsey regarding his 2019 project, “Perfect Ten,” saying, “And [Nipsey] was like, ‘Well before it’s all said and done, you gotta do Faith Of A Mustard Seed.’”
