I was cruising through Queens while I was back home in NY this weekend blasting Hot 97 and heard this new track from Meek Mill. I immediately was feeling the ‘gospel’ type vibe with the chord progression and the organs, and then I was about to break my neck when they hook dropped. AMEN!

It had 1 milli views yesterday, and jumped to 2 milli this morning, get on this!

2 Chainz ft. Drake – No Lie

With today’s arrival of the official single “No Lie” feat. Drake, 2 Chainz’s T.R.U. (The Real University) and Def Jam Recordings announce the August 14th release date of the debut album BASED ON A T.R.U. STORY. “No Lie” feat. Drake will be available for sale through all digital carriers and services on May 8th.

One of the most anticipated debut albums in years, BASED ON A T.R.U. STORY is set to arrive as the crest of the 2 Chainz wave crashes into shore. After a series of explosive mixtapes made 2 Chainz the most sought-after MC in the game – an onslaught of media attention ensued, including the cover of The Source and a glowing piece in The New York Times – he has recently linked up with the likes of heavies Kanye West and Drake for collaborations of the next order.

Nicki Minaj’s sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded drops next Tuesday, and the most star-studded of its track just found its way to the internet. “Champion” is a triumphal posse cut featuring the A-list trio of Drake, Young Jeezy, and Nas — each of whom sounds pretty strong, though maybe somebody should get Jeezy a cough drop or something. Listen below.

Drake celebrated his second GQ cover by performing a never-before-heard verse during his photo shoot for the magazine’s first-ever Style Bible. Looking dapper in a tailored suit, Drizzy debuted “A Little Favour,” where he raps about women, getting paid half a mill a show, and buying Warhols for his crib.

“No love for these bitches I said this year it’s all bidness/ It is a shame that a couple of ‘em are off limits/ No offense to my ni**a/ It’s just the industry’s small, we all lust for the same women,” he rhymes, while confessing to hooking up with the same girls as his mentor.

“I know I got a couple things that Lil Wayne dipped in/ Ain’t ashamed to admit it.”

Watch him look sharp while delivering the slick verse below.
