yo guys what is good it's ollie here back today with a brand new series that i'm calling
this week in rap a video i plan to drop every sunday covering everything we've seen from the
week before new music announcement teasers you know everything going on that you guys
need to be kept up to date with the sort of things that weren't quite big enough to make
one video about but i definitely want to cover now with that said if you do enjoy it's really
important you let me know so i know whether to continue with this you can do that by commenting
or dropping a like let's jump into it now it's been an interesting week in terms of rap news and
of course new releases new releases i'll cover a little bit further in this video but we have seen
and something i'm very very excited for is little baby teasing brand new music now you guys probably
saw this snippet a few days ago we've actually got a poundcake sample on the beat of course you guys
will probably remember that drake song that ellie goulding i think it's ellie golden on the vocals
an absolutely legendary track one of my favorites from drake and of course the production is
incredible so to see it start sampled sorry on this baby track sounds amazing it was until
the second listen i actually noticed it but it's very much there and you know forgetting that for
a second we saw baby saying he's just warming up and this summer mines i don't know about you guys
but i cannot wait to see what baby's got in store for us i've been waiting on his next solo release
ever since my turn and i am highly anticipating it now another exciting development we've seen
in the last week or so is trippy red teasing and love letter to u5 you guys know i've made a lot
of content saying how the rollout is just about to begin and we had that confirmed even further
by trippy with this recent post now adding on to that even more very recently which i believe was
yesterday or the day before we saw trippy posting two brand new snippets asking what fans liked the
most because by the sounds of it he wants to drop his single very soon now i do believe we are going
to see the single this month in the month of april and it might be one of these two snippets let me
know if you've heard it and your thoughts on it as you guys know if you follow this channel you know
i am anticipating what trippy red has got next and i am very excited to see his next singles next
album release and i'll be covering a lot of it on this channel let's move on another thing i should
mention before we go off the trippy red topic is that we could see another juice wrld posthumous
feature on a love letter to you 5 now this was teased in a recent comment section when somebody
said trippy is there a juice song on the album and he liked the comment now we didn't comment on it
to you know confirm it but to see a like on there either implies that he wants to do it or maybe he
has plans to do it already now i don't know for sure because you know you i've said this before
my videos i'm not quite as into the juice wrld leaks as some people are in terms of the community
some people might know that they've got maybe more tracks still in the vault i don't know
whether all of their songs have been released by now because we have seen a few collabs by them
posthumous collabs since of course juice wrld's untimely passing it will be interesting to see
if we get any more tracks on them my stance on it always you know if they have tracks in the vault
that were made before juice wrld's death i am happy to see them release i don't really want to
see like you know old juice well versus being put with new trippy tracks that kind of feels immoral
let me know what you think in the comments and i'll move on to the next topic earlier in the week
we also saw one of the most questionable decisions i've seen for a long time when someone decided to
get the yi 2 alive tattoo not just any tattoo but a face tap now i'm not on the hater [ __ ] i like
yi i think two alive is pretty fun i'll talk about the deluxe as we get through this video but yeah
this has got to be one of the worst decisions i've ever seen it kind of looks hard in you know in a
low-key way it does look fire this guy's clearly got tattoos already so it kind of fits you know
his personality but i don't know man to get it on the face is a brave thing to do and you personally
wouldn't catch me let me know if this is a dub or an l in the comments now i said i was going
to wait to talk about the deluxe but honestly it makes more sense to talk about it right now
the standouts for me were the two features with uzi of course big tonka you know no surprise that
he's bringing out that word again it's like his favorite [ __ ] word 3g of course with uzi as
well big tonka with that like controversial uh controversial snippet about being high as
allah yeah some people didn't like that too much i saw that going around on tick tock i don't know
i'm not a religious person i don't know how deep that really is but in terms of just a track like
looking at it no further than that shit's a banger uzi went off on it same again on 3g i've really
enjoyed the lancey feature on love money lance is an interesting artist it's like he's from
the uk but he's like he's integrated insanely well with the u.s scene so shout out to him
yeah a solid deluxe let me know what you think in the comments on top of this of course there's been
a lot of hype around five year foreign upcoming album bible which is set to drop on the 8th of
april an album i'm personally pretty damn excited for we've also seen some features being talked
about on there uh asap rocky polo g uh alicia keys of course kanye quavo there's a lot of big names
on here and i think this is going to be one of the best drill albums to date i imagine there'll
be a mix of vibes but i think essentially it's going to be a drill album based on what we saw
with um the alicia keys track what was it called city of gods but yeah i'm personally very excited
for this upcoming album and i think it's got a lot of potential just before i move on from this topic
i remember a few months ago we saw on instagram live with fivio the one where the [ __ ] is eating
so fast like the food's about to run off his plate yep that one you might have seen it but on that
live he did tease a snippet with asap rocky and it sounded incredible so let's hope this feature
that's being teased is that one and we will see it on the album not to mention as well people
are talking about a pop smoke feature of course something that everyone does want to see assuming
they've got a completed collab in the vault let's keep our fingers crossed and see what happens
so now a very weird situation that emerged a few days ago was that potentially the entire studio
sessions for lil uzi vert xo tour life were gonna leak this included hundreds of unused vocal takes
and multiple unreleased verses with new lyrics now this just kind of highlights how weird the
world uh the landscape of leaks are these days the sort of things that we see getting leaked
like in but in the past we've seen just like playboy kai's ad libs being leaked like random
edits from the studio it is it is crazy how like the leak community works these days and it is
weird why people you know put money towards these group buys and allow these things to happen now i
don't want to comment too much on that because i do like listening to leaks here and there so i'm
not going to condemn the people that you know allow the music to get leaked because there is
some enjoyment to be had but overall it's probably not great for the industry and weird sort of leaks
like this really don't make a lot of sense but you know when i posted this on my instagram i said
that although it's weird i don't really condone this sort of [ __ ] i'll probably still check
out because i'm just kind of curious you know what it sounded like because let's be honest this track
is a legendary track in terms of new wave rap it really did put lil uzi on the map so be interested
to see his creative process for this one at the time recording i don't know if this is actually
dropped already or leaked already because t he leak world moves so damn quick but this
is all a little bit wild and i remember being very confused when i first saw it let me know
what you think in the comments on top of all of this we also saw an interesting announcement from
juice wrld and xxxtentacion's team teasing that a collab from them is seemingly coming soon now
although it's pretty clear what's going on here it is somewhat cryptic because there was no caption
we don't know what track is going to be there's been so much speculation maybe it's a mind and all
remix i've seen people talk about various other tracks that could be essentially put together to
create this collab it is a very sensitive topic some people disagree with it i'm somewhere on the
fence with this one i mean it is so cool to see this happen but part of me still feels like maybe
it's a little bit immoral maybe the labels are doing a bit too much some people have called it
a cash grab i can see the opinion to be had there i'm not quite sure where i fall on this debate
let me know what you think in the comments i'll of course be checking out when the collab does
drop and i'll probably cover on this channel as more news comes out but right now we don't
know exactly what's in store and in other exciting news travis scott has once again been in the booth
working on utopia you guys will notice if you've been following the rollout there's been more and
more teasers recently which is very encouraging we're seeing travis scott in the booth travis
scott coming back into the limelight a little bit more really giving us an idea that new music is on
the horizon and i think utopia if not complete is nearing completion you guys know by now how gassed
i am for that album and of course more content will follow when we find out about it so subscribe
and click the notification bell if you haven't already now in terms of new music releases i
think there was a few that are pretty significant including little tj in my head of course a single
freddie grib freddie gibbs sorry ice cream with rick ross another single of course dreamville
and dj drama the collab d-day project stupidly i haven't listened to that one yet that really
did come out of nowhere i'm definitely going to be giving a listen throughout the week and of course
yeets to a live geek pack which i talked about but yeah lil Tjay in my head with of course that
legendary single legendary sample sorry reminds me of being like 13 again back in like year eight
shit's crazy but yeah a pretty decent uh pretty decent single i feel like you know it sounds silly
right but at the beginning we hear that sample and i wish tj had kind of wrapped it or sung it
himself throughout the song but we barely got that so maybe he fumbled the bag a little bit
on that one freddie gibbs comes back again and pretty much never misses true to form with that
rick ross feature some cool bars on here i like the chorus definitely one of the best for the
week and you guys know i spoke about yeat's to 2 alive geek pack earlier let me know all your
thoughts on this week's releases a little bit of a slow week in terms of new music there's
definitely been a lot of news which i've covered pretty much all of in this video this video might
be a little bit scruffy because it's the first time i've covered a lot of topics in one video
but i do have plans to kind of make this a weekly series and it will get a little bit neater and
a little bit better as i go along let me know if it's something you guys want to see of course you
can do that by dropping a like or commenting just by letting me know and of course subscribe with
the notification bell clicked now i'll save this for the end of the video because it's normally the
ogs that stick around i just wanted to thank you for all of the continued support my most recent
