Ralo Feat. Young Thug, Lil Yachty & Lil Uzi Vert – Young N***a
Courtesy of Complex and taken from the upcoming project Famerican Gangster 2, out February 12th:
Young Thug is a real life gangster and he’s supported me since the beginning… Him and I were in the studio and he introduced me to Lil Uzi and he started ad-libbing the hook and the song came together.
I really wanted Lil Yachty on this song because I said something about him in an interview that was wrong… I apologized about it because I didn’t even know him at the time. Collaborating with guys like Thug and Yachty helped me to break into the blogs and mainstream media. I already had the streets locked.
Sean Kingston Feat. Vybz Kartel – Chance
You gotta give Sean Kingston credit for locking down a Vybz Kartel feature. ‘Chance’ is taken from his upcoming EP Made in Jamaica, dropping March 17th.
