Drake affiliates Smiley and Baka Not Nice are reuniting for a mini collection of tracks under the title of "Heartless."

Smiley and Baka Not Nice are teaming up once again, this time for a three-track EP, Heartless. The project lives up to its name as both Canadian rappers deliver back-to-back-to-back cold-blooded cuts. Whether it's putting a tough exterior on the previously released "DVP" or living life unapologetically on "Diamond Strip" they are at their most confident. If you are messing with the tracks below, then you may want to hold onto that excitement even longer. Later this year, Smiley and Baka Not Nice will be adding these songs to a future joint mixtape titled Not Nice Or Bye. It was announced in November 2025, so we may be getting it sooner than later.

Release Date: January 16, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

Prior to this position, he held another freelance gig covering local high school football, girls and boys varsity basketball, in addition to recapping Cleveland Cavaliers games remotely. He's taken the previous experience and used it to become a jack of all trades at HotNewHipHop. Zach has thoroughly enjoyed tackling some of the trending topics in sports, with a larger focus on hip-hop and pop culture. Some of those include Bronny James's draft stock, a multitude of angles swirling around the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, as well as Diddy's arrest and lawsuits. Separate from the headlines that everyone wants to hear about, he was fortunate enough to help spread Zaytoven's current thoughts at the time around mid-December in 2023. Even though being able to give his expertise on these stories is fulfilling, being able to share his passion for releases trumps that ever so slightly. Having the chance to express his excitement indirectly about what he thinks our readers should be checking out/revisiting grows his passion for writing that much more.
