The Slutty Boyz drop an auto-tuned new single.

Problem – 50 Shades of Grey (Video)
Problem heads to the desert for his latest visual. Mollywood 3 is out now.
Kid Ink – Imagine
Produced by London On Da Track. As such, it sounds an awful lot like Rich Gang’s ‘Lifestyle’.
Rick Ross – Family Ties (Video)
Taken from Hood Billionaire…as a bonus, we also included his remix to Philthy Rich’s track ‘Wing Stop’, which also features MMG artist Yowda (below).
Juicy J ft. G.O.D – Breathe (Video)
This might be one of the first times in a while that I’ve heard Juicy J get conscious or political on a record. The Memphis veteran has always been a well-spoken, talented artist, but his music isn’t known for themes like this. That changes today with his song “Breath” featuring G.O.D and produced by 808 Mafia. J and G.O.D address police brutality, violence and racism over a catchy trap beat. Worldstar had the video exclusive. Juicy J and Three 6 used to talk a lot about police corruption back when Project Pat was locked up. More music like this, please.
2 Chainz – Watch Out (Prod. by FKi)
2 Chainz drops the first single from his upcoming Trap-A-Velli 3 mixtape, “Watch Out,” produced by FKi. Trap-A-Velli 2 was my favorite back in 2010 and what helped get “Tity Boi” into the spotlight. Has it really been that long?
Travis Barker Feat. Kid Ink, IAMSU!, Ty Dolla $ign & Tyga – 100
Blink-182’s Travis Barker is no stranger to Hip-Hop, and his latest cut – ‘100’ — sees him collaborating with West Coast young guns Kid Ink, IAMSU!, Ty Dolla $ign & Tyga.

Who Is Quentin Miller? The Backstory on Drake’s Alleged Ghostwriter
According to a tweet from Meek Mill’s late night rant, Toronto entertainer Drake’s ghostwriter is Quentin Miller. The Decatur, Georgia-bred rapper is one half of the duo WDNG Crshrs, well-known in Atlanta and works closely with one of Drake’s producers, Boi-1da. Allegations of Miller’s affiliation with Drake’s “October’s Very Own” label date back eight months. He supposedly began posting on Instagram from Drake’s personal studio and spending time in Toronto. All of that evidence has been deleted, although a picture of Miller and OVO’s Ryan Silverstein remains.
Quentin Miller raps about Drake’s If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late LP on his own solo mixtape, Hey! Thanks A Lot 2. Miller is credited on six of the tracks on IYRTITL’s Wikipedia page. He is also mentioned (by his initials only) in the handwritten liner notes for the Drake project, and in Zara Golden’s Fader write-up deciphering the release. Golden writes;
“QM” is Quentin Miller, a composer from Atlanta’
One Redditor wonders why Miller is credited at all. It seems strange to acknowledge a ghostwriter in Hip-Hop, but it happens often in Pop. Upon first listen, some Quentin Miller songs sound nothing like the latest from Drake while others sound very familiar. Miller is a Southern rapper who sings with an R&B tinge and likes using Autotune, so comparisons are easy. It’s very possible that he is is behind some of Drizzy’s recent work, especially considering his affiliation with producers Boi-1da and Ducko McFli and of course, Meek’s tweet. Cardo also expressed interest in working with him. For icing on the cake, check out some other interesting tweets from earlier this year. Two are from Atlanta-based music industry types;

Wikipedia pages without citations, old tweets and forum posts aren’t the most trustworthy sources of information, but ghostwriting got its name for a reason. As always, come to your own conclusions.-JL (@No_Smiles)
