Jhene Aiko

As Disney+ prepares the release of its new film, Raya and the Last Dragon, the streaming service taps on Jhené Aiko for the official soundtrack.

Aiko lends her contribution to the record, “Lead The Way.” Teaming up with Oscar-nominated composer James Newton-Howard, Aiko states it was a dream come true being able to contribute to the upcoming animated film.

“The number one thing was I heard dragon, and I love dragons. I have a big dragon tattoo on my back. I was born in ’88, which is the year of the dragon. And I just think it’s a beautiful, mystical creature that is just so many things, symbolizes so many things for me, personally,” the Chilombo singer told Apple Music. “I’ve always had this little fantasy of being a Disney princess, voicing one, or like being the character. And so this was the closest that I’ve gotten, so I was pretty excited.”

A music video has already been shot for the song and is set to premiere next month. Directed by Raya and the Last Dragon director Carlos López Estrada, Aiko wanted to make Disney proud.

“I wanted to make Disney proud, because I grew up on Disney,” she added. “And yeah, it’s special. Where I live right now, they’re just put up a big billboard for the movie. So I was just like, ‘Look at that. Look at life.’ Just happy.”

Kendrick Lamar Disses Drake & J. Cole on ‘Like That’ from Future & Metro Boomin’s New Album, ‘We Don’t Trust You’

Kendrick Lamar Disses Drake & J. Cole on ‘Like That’ from Future & Metro Boomin’s New Album, 'We Don't Trust You' miixtapechiick

Just moments ago, Future and Metro Boomin released their highly-anticipated new album, “We Don’t Trust You,” to the world.

One track that immediately stands out from the project is “Like That,” featuring Kendrick Lamar. On this particular record, the Compton native boldly takes aim at Drake and J. Cole. This seems to confirm the ongoing tension between Metro Boomin and Drake, which came to light a few months ago on social media. In the midst of this conflict, Drake referred to Metro Boomin as a ‘tweeter and deleter’ in a video response to Metro Boomin’s criticism of Drake and 21 Savage’s joint album, ‘Her Loss.’

Metro Boomin disses Drakes Her Loss

Drake’s video sign-off, “Look at my eyes — you guys wanna do something? That’s what I thought,” prompted Metro Boomin to retaliate with a video skit referencing on “X” where the character says, “Whoa, Calm Down Jamal, Don’t Pull Out the 9.” This skit humorously portrays interactions between Black people and racist white individuals on a basketball court.

In “Like That,” Kendrick Lamar delivers incisive bars: “Sneak dissin’, first person shooter, I hope they came with three switches. I crash out, like, ‘F–k rap,’ this Melly Mell if I had to. Got two Ts with me, I’m snatchin’ chains and burnin’ tattoos, it’s up. Lost too many soldiers not to play it safe. If he walks around with that stick, it ain’t Andre 3K. Think I won’t drop the location? I still got PTSD. Muthaf–k the big three, n—a, it’s just big me. N—a, bum, what? I’m really like that.”

Cardi B Releases New Song ‘Enough (Miami)’ miixtapechiick

After releasing her ‘Like What (Freestyle),’ Cardi B returns with her brand new single, ‘Enough (Miami).’ The single follows her appearance on the remix of Flo Milli‘s ‘Never Lose Me’ alongside SZA.

“The song was originally called ‘And Her Name is Cardi K,’ the rapper revealed on Instagram Live. “And the reason why I called this song ‘Cardi K’ … I said it in an interview … I was really angry. I felt like … bitches were ganging up on me. I felt like I was very underestimated. Even my fanbase. I have a big fanbase, but it’s very underestimated…” She continued with, “So ‘Cardi K,’ I don’t know if you know how people say, ‘EBK,’ like ‘Everybody Killa.’ I just felt like everyone was on some ‘Cardi K’ shit, like ‘Y’all on some Cardi Killa shit? Then fuck you hoes! Fuck you bitches!”

“I got in the studio feeling angry, but honestly, I’m not in that space right now. I don’t give a fuck about nobody right now. But that’s her original name. Her original name is ‘Cardi K,’ but her stage name is ‘Enough/Miami.‘”
