Starting his career at just a young age with “I Like It,” it’s been a long road forSammie who most from this generation remember him Soulja Boy‘s “Kiss Me Through The Phone” and his self-titled sophomore album which featured his single, “You Should Be My Girl.” All grown up, the 30-year-old Floridian singer makes his return with his brand new album, Coming Of Age, released via EMPIRE Distribution.
Coming in with 13 tracks, Sammie is making peace with his past and addresses relationship issues, former management, and more.
Stream above and check out an excerpt from his interview with Vibe where he explain’s the album’s content below.
VIBE: Why did you want to address your infidelity on Coming of Age? Sammie: It’s something that I’m not happy about. I don’t even like that I succumbed to that. My mom and father [broke up] because he was a bit of a ladies man. I love my father, but I’ve always tried to stray from that, so to fall short is disappointing as a man. And I’ve hurt amazing women, nothing was wrong with them, I just wasn’t ready. That’s why I’ve learned the importance of finding out who you really are without trying to build while you’re in love. That’s how you can hurt someone. So the goal of this album is to humanize men in the eyes of women? Women think we don’t feel because we don’t express it, or it’s looked at as not being masculine. But we talk about it amongst ourselves. I put those conversations in my music. That’s my niche: the transparency that my peers feel they’re too cool for.
After facing a barrage of diss tracks from the likes of Future, Metro Boomin, Kendrick Lamar, and more, Drake returns with a response that appears to have leaked online.
Earlier this week, Rory and Mal of the New Rory and Mal podcast teased the diss on episode 258, with Rory dropping hints like, “Drop down & give me 50,” a line directly lifted from Drake’s response.
“Pip squeak pipe down, you ain’t in no big three, SZA got you wipe down, Travis got you wiped down, Savage got you wiped down, like your label boy you Interscope right now” “How the f*** you been big steppin with size 7 mens on”
“Maroon 5 need a verse, you better make it witty, then we need a verse for the Swifties, Top say you drop, you better drop and give up fiftyyy”
Drake’s reply to J. Cole’s apology for dissing Kendrick Lamar: “And that f*cking song y’all got is not starting beef with us/This sh*t been brewing in a pot, now I’m heating up/I don’t care what Cole think, that Dot sh*t was weak as f*ck”
Drake’s clapback at Rick Ross:
“I might take ya latest girl and cuff her like Ricky, can’t believe he’s jumping in, this n**** turning 50, every song that made it on the chart he got from Drizzy, worry bout whatever going on with you and—”
Drake’s response to Metro Boomin:
“Metro shut your h*e ass and make some drums, n****”
