French Montana News

Diddy served as executive producer on French Montana's 2013 debut album, Excuse My French, and apparently he's asked French to return the favor. The Bad Boy mogul has been dropping hints about an upcoming project through his various soical media outlets, using the hashtag MMM.

French Montana's Super Bowl weekend was almost ruined when he was taken into custody Saturday night after a party he attended in Brooklyn. French was not the only one arrested at the time, as fellow rappers Jadakiss, Chinx Drugs, Smoke DZA, and Buckwild were reportedly taken in at the same time.

When used properly, ad-libs can really accelerate the popularity of an artist. Just ask Big Sean or 2 Chainz. These between-the-lines phrases are designed to hype up listeners, adding extra energy to their verses. Ad-libs tend to be funny, serious, or flat-out ridiculous.

French Montana, Chinx Drugz, and Jadakiss don't seem too phased after getting arrested yesterday. In fact, they were released just in time for the SuperBowl festivities. On twitter, Jadakiss had this to say: "Out of all the things in the world to wish on somebody, JAIL isn't one if them... #stop sweating."

Coke Boys got the feds watchin'. One of many pre-Super Bowl parties was going down last night in New York City, and while the details are scarce, it seems as though it may have got a bit out of hand. 

Jennifer Lopez teased a preview of her new Chris Brown-penned single, "Same Girl" last week. The track is about how fame has not changed her, and she's still the "same Jenny from around the way" (sound familiar?).

French Montana has had a successful run with his Mac & Cheese mixtape series, which have been some of his defining projects during his come-up.

In a way, Coke Boys 4 is exactly what was expected. Plenty of features, varied production, and a heavy supply of trunk bangers make this a typical French Montana project. This time around, OTF rapper Lil Durk was notably involved after recently joining forces with the Coke Boy family.

French Montana revealed the cover art for Mac & Cheese 4 just a few weeks back, and once more he's taken to Instagram to unveil mixtape art, this time for a fourth instalment in the Coke Boy series.

We've recently received new music from Coke Boy rapper Chinx (formerly Chinx Drugz) and it looks like he isn't the only Coke Boy prepping a new project. French Montana took to Instagram this evening to unveil the cover art for Mac & Cheese 4 from his mixtape series.

Love her or hate her, you can't ignore her. Miley Cyrus has been pretty inescapable the past few months, and her new album is finally here. With features from Big Sean, Future, French Montana, and Nelly, the album continues her infiltration of hip hop, and it's now available to stream free via iTunes.

Debra ATney has quite the track record. She has managed artists such as Nicki Minaj, French Montana, and Gucci Mane, as well as her son, Waka Flocka. While she has had issues with her artists in the past, Debra continues to have kind words for the artists she's worked with.

Lil Durk was just recently released from jail, and it seems as if he's once again hard at work on his upcoming mixtape, Signed To The Streets.

French Montana has been through a lot growing up in The Bronx, even suffering a near fatal gunshot wound to the head. The rapper spoke to TorontoRappers.com about the Trayvon Martin verdict, and how he has seen similar situations play out in his neighborhood growing up.

For those unfamiliar, Max B (aka Charles Wingate) is an emcee from Harlem, New York City signed to Amalgam Digital, who rose to prominence through his affiliation with The Diplomats, particularly Cam'ron and Jim Jones.

Last we heard from Lil Durk, he had been arrested right after inking a deal with French Montana's Coke Boys. Durk was arrested on gun charges, after being caught with a loaded .40 caliber.

This week r'n'b singer and hit-maker extraordinaire, The-Dream, enters the charts with his latest effort, IV Play. The-Dream is an interesting artist to analyze, because while he creates hits on top of hits for tons artists in the game, his own fan-base is much smaller, yet extremely devout to the singer.

French Montana joins Charts Don't Lie this week, with his debut album Excuse My French. French, Diddy and the whole Bad Boy team went hard with promo for this one, rounded up the biggest features in the game, but the album wasn't able to move more than 50k opening week.

French Montana's debut album, Excuse My French, has been out for ten days now, giving fans time to sink their teeth into the final product. Although the album sales for French's opening week weren't too high, French has maintained a carefree attitude about the sales.

French Montana celebrated his album release for Excuse My French at King of Diamonds on May 24th, the mecca of all strip clubs. The following night the partying continued when Young Jeezy hit up KOD with his crew. Peep photos of both nights from NLPG Images. Thanks to Echo Hattix & Moses Hill!
