#OverloadMonday: Singles, Visuals, Projects & Tours! Oh My!

Here's some overload for your Monday blues. Check out what went down this past week, Jan. 22nd-28th.

Singles

Apple

Royce 5’9”, Joyner Lucas, and Black Thought - yes, you read those names right - have teamed up to tackle one of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s tracks off his 2016 Hamilton mixtape. While the original featured Nas and Dave East, this new remix stars the trio with Aloe Blacc on the hook. Listen above.

Gucci Mane comes through with new music. He teams up with Tiesto and Sevenn for his latest track “BOOM.” Pick your poison and enjoy: Apple Music or Spotify. 

We’ve also seen team efforts from the likes of Dice Soho x Will Peters, Rich The Kid x Famous Dex, Lil Baby x Kenny Gee, and Cam O’bi x Smino. 

Clearly, Meek Mill was busy leading up to his incarceration, and Joyner Lucas has been pretty busy out here in the world. Check out their team effort along with Timbaland on the new track, “Run It.” 

Instead of releasing his EP, Woke You Up, Sonny Digital decided to release two new singles over the weekend: “Keep It Real” and “Love My Plug.” Check them out. 

We got new music from T-Pain, R-Mean, YBN Almighty Jay, and King Los. 

Lil Jon linked up with 2 Chainz and Offset for his newest joint, “Alive.” After posting that picture of him and Jermaine Dupri in the studio, you have to ask: Is Lil Jon gearing up for a comeback? We shall see. 

With his new project on the way, scroll down for that, Skooly dropped the first offering, “Dirty Dawg Insane.” 

As more Pro Era is demanded, shall Joey giveth with Pro Era’s CJ Fly and Nyck Caution.

While we wait for the release of their collab project Can’t Feel My Face, Lil Wayne and Juelz Santana drop for their newest joint track, "Bloody Mary.” The new track appears on Lil Wayne’s newest release, scroll down to “Projects."

And when you thought the team efforts were done: Maroon 5 x A Boogie, Ralo x YFN Lucci, and Young Thug x Gunna x Hoodrich Pablo Juan. 

A$AP Rocky dropped two new singles just a day apart, “5ive $tar$” and “Above.” His newest singles give a peek into the new sounds he’s “testing” for his upcoming third studio album. Also, he may or may not be testing out a title for the upcoming album. All of the artwork on his SoundCloud has been changed from that Testing cover to now a bright yellow background with Dummie in the middle. You can find it above in the cover photo. 

Check out the snippet 50 Cent dropped off his new single with PNB Rock, “Going Crazy.” First, he dropped one via Instagram, then followed up with another snippet the very next day. Produced by Frank Dukes, check the previews out and let’s hope this drops soon. 

Visuals

Apple Music, Spotify, TIDAL. 

After finally releasing their joint project, Friday On Elm Street, Jadakiss and Fabolous have dropped the project’s first visual for “F vs J Intro.” They followed up with another visual, this time for the fan-favorite “Soul Food.” A tough project featuring the likes of Future, Swizz Beatz, Teyana Taylor, Styles P (of course) and more. A must listen, so pick your poison and definitely check it out.

Following the release of their sophomore album CULTURE II, Migos dropped a visual over the weekend. Well, more like an action-packed short film, watch “Stir Fry” starring the song’s producer, Pharrell.

New visuals from Moneybagg Yo and YBN Nahmir were dropped this past week.

Catch producer Sango’s first visual offering from his upcoming project, “Sweet Holy Honey” featuring Xavier Omär.

Jhene Aiko dropped a visual treatment to her fan favorite “Sativa,” featuring Swae Lee - but with a twist.

We also got to see visuals from K Camp, G Herbo, and Downtown Dion.

In 2018’s first week we saw a sudden release, One Week Notice, from Dizzy Wright, Jarren Benton, Audio Push, Demrick, Emilio Rojas, Reezy DJ Hoppa, and Kato. The crew gave themselves a total of 7 days to put together and drop the project. Now they drop a visual treatment for, according to Kato, “one of the group and fan favorites off the project,” “Get Up N Go." Check out the visual here, and go back to the #OverloadMonday for One Week Notice.

Projects

After releasing Dedication 6 for Christmas, Lil Wayne is back unloading the tape’s sequel, Dedication 6: Reloaded. The 20-track tape follows the release of three singles that of course made the tracklist. Featuring the likes of Juelz Santana, Gudda Gudda, Drake, Lil Twist and more. 

Returning with his first project in four years, Evidence dropped a new solo LP over the weekend. Weather or Not is a 16-track project that features the likes of Styles P, Rapsody, Alchemist and more.  A project you do not want to bypass: Spotify or Apple

Former G-Unit member, Spider Loc reemerged this past week with The Lost Tapes. The 15-track album features the likes of Jay Rock, E-Note, Mack 10 and of course 50 Cent. Reminiscent of that old G-Unit sound from the early 2000s, and I’m here for it. It’s definitely worth a listen, so pick your poison: Apple Music, Spotify.

Ghostface Killah and Apollo Brown re-released their ’13 effort The Brown Tape: Bandcamp, Spotify or Apple.

While Migos released their sophomore album, CULTURE II, this weekend, Justine Skye made her official debut with ULTRAVIOLET.

Coming Soon...

They took to Instagram to reveal the project’s tracklist along with artwork. Black Rock is slated to release February 17th.

Reports are flooding in that Black Thought is teaming up with 9th Wonder for a new project. After the intense and viral freestyle, this move to drop some solo music outside of The Roots seems strategic. Via Nodfactor's Twitter, a video was released of Black Thought revealing his work with 9th Wonder: “It’s the first of a series of joints that I’m gonna be putting out called Streaming Thought. Be on the lookout for the music that we’re about to hit y’all with.” And 9th followed up by semi-confirming with an obscure tweet. Stay plugged for updates.
