There’s always so much new music to consume week by week that sometimes it gets overwhelming and almost hard to keep up with. So, I decided to start a new series titled, Massachusetts Mondays (MASS. Mondays, for short), so you can hear the latest sounds all in one post.

Take a listen below.

Miranda Rae – Defying Love EP

Screen Shot 2020 03 01 at 10.28.05 AM

Artist: Miranda Rae

Project: Defying Love EP

After releasing her Excuse My Baggage EP last year, Miranda Rae returns with a follow-up project titled, Defying Love.

Though only 4 tracks, the fifteen-minute effort is enough to make you a fan. More upbeat than Excuse My Baggage, Defying Love finds Miranda Rae in search of a deep connection that manifests into something that’s irreplaceable. In “Prayer Love,” the songstress hopes her lonely nights and the tears she cries come to an end while “Invitation for Love” finds her heart open to new possibilities.

Back to Me,” one of Miranda Rae’s slower records, and one of my favorites, finds herself in recovery after dealing with broken promises and trust issues, but nonetheless, still wants to make it work.  Wrapping up the project with “Tearing My Soul,” the slow ballad doesn’t grant Miranda Rae the happy ending she was hoping for. Sick of waiting and sick of the pain, her soul aches as she wants off this rollercoaster of a relationship.

Stream Defying Love below.

Last year, Brockton rapper Saint Lyor dropped his single, “Gossip” which caught on like wildfire. Landing on numerous platforms and racking up over 6k+ on Soundcloud and 1.8k views on Youtube, the Van Buren Records artist is ready to shake things up again with the release of his latest single/visual, “Aunt Jemima.”

Shot by Saint Lyor himself, alongside Colin Pagnoni, the visual finds Saint Lyor hitting the streets with a few familiar faces to provide an electrifying performance.

Releasing his In Due Time EP back in December, Kam’geez returns with visual treatment to the EP-cut, “Gorgeous Young Bastard.” Also known as the name of his team, which also consists of Dishurd, director, and artists Pretty G G Pretty and Don Dadda, as well as stylist Jamil, the record serves as a theme song for the collective as well as a reminder to others that they’re not your average group of people.

After bringing us the official video to both “Watch Me Win” and “Head Tap” featuring KT Cuatro back in November, 8Zipp has officially made the records available on streaming platforms. Under the Shooterz Muzik imprint, the two records are a lot different from the four other records we’ve introduced above, but that’s what makes it special.

Everyone is addicted to something that they know is bad for them, but at least 7981 Kal can admit it. In his latest visual, “Drip N Foreign,” we get a behind the scenes look of 7981 Kal’s life from making a few bands on the streets and meeting fans at the mall to hitting the studio and catching flights. “Drip N Foreign” lives on 7981 Kal’s debut mixtape Life Without Fear, out now.

Drake Releases New Kendrick Lamar Diss ‘The Heart Pt. 6’

Following Kendrick Lamar‘s release of ”Not Like Us” on Saturday, Drake swiftly responds with his own diss track, “The Heart Pt. 6.”

In a clever nod to Kendrick’s previous diss, Drake aptly chose to dub his latest diss “The Heart Pt. 6.” Kendrick, who had previously named his diss track “6:16 in LA,” borrowed from Drake’s signature style of titling tracks with timestamps in various cities. Notably, Kendrick Lamar has gained renown for his ongoing “The Heart” series, releasing “The Heart Pt. 5” back in 2022.

In his latest diss, Drake unveils revelations about Kendrick being misled regarding Drake’s alleged daughter on “Meet the Grahams.”

“You waited for this momеnt, overcome with the desperation / We plotted for a week and then we fed you the information / A daughter that’s 11 years old, I bet he takes it / We thought about giving a fake name or a destination / But you so thirsty, you not concerned with investigation,” he raps.

He continued with, “You gotta learn to fact check things and be less impatient / Your fans are rejoicing thinkin’ this is my expiration / Even the picture you used, the jokes and the medication / The Maybach glove and the drug he uses for less inflation / Master manipulator, you bid on the speculation.”

Drake also doubles down that Dave Free fathered one of Kendrick’s children and questions why Kendrick hasn’t seen his children in six months.

“And why isn’t Whitney denying all of the allegations? / Why is she following Dave Free and not Mr. Morale? / You haven’t seen the kids in six months, the distance is wild / Dave leaving heart emojis underneath pics of the child,” he raps.

In the early hours of Saturday, May 3, Drake unleashed “FAMILY MATTERS,” taking aim at Kendrick Lamar. In retaliation, Lamar fired back within the hour with his response, “meet the Grahams.”

The saga continues as Kendrick has unleashed yet another scathing diss track titled “Not Like Us.” Over Mustard‘s production, Lamar continues to confront Drake, exposing allegations of underage relationships, entanglements with Lil Wayne’s girlfriend, and much more.

The cover art for the single shows Drake’s Toronto mansion with markers typically reserved for identifying sex offenders.

“Say Drake I hear you like em young, to any b*tch that talk to em and they in love, make sure you hide your little sister from em,” Kendrick spits.

Kendrick Lamar did not take kindly to Drake‘s latest diss track, “FAMILY MATTERS,” and has fired back with another diss towards the Toronto rapper an hour later on a track titled “meet the grahams.”

On the latest diss track, Kendrick is extremely direct, bringing up Drake’s mother, father, and son. He also reveals that Drake is hiding another child, a baby girl, and doubles down on claims that Drake is dating underage girls.

On Drake’s alleged second child:

“I’d like to say it’s not your fault that he’s hiding another child/Give him grace/That’s the reason I made Mr. Morale.”

Drake’s mother, Sandra:

 “Dear Sandra, your son got some habits/I hope you don’t undermine them.” 

“Your son’s a sick man with sick thoughts/I think n—-s like him should die/Him and Weinstein should get fucked up in a cell for the rest of they life/ And we’ve gotta raise our daughters knowing there’s predators like him lurkin’/Fuck a rap battle, he should die, so all of these women can live with a purpose.”

Drake’s father, Dennis:

“You raised a horrible fuckin’ person/The nerve of you, Dennis”
