Luv Don’t Cost A Thang – Song by K2icyy

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 07:04:00 +0000

K2icyy is turning online momentum into his latest release with “Luv Don’t Cost A Thang.” The Los Angeles rapper teased the record across social media ahead of its arrival, with the snippet pulling in more than 150,000 impressions and hundreds of comments across TikTok and Instagram. The response pushed K2icyy to capitalize on the attention surrounding the song and release the full-length version of the song. “Luv Don’t Cost A Thang” keeps the melodic approach K2icyy has been building on, while introducing a more explicit, grown-up edge to his music. It’s the kind of record that feels especially nostalgic considering the J.Lo sample. The early traction makes “Luv Don’t Cost A Thang” one of K2icyy’s more promising releases as he continues making his mark on L.A.’s music scene.

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Release Date: September 15, 2026
Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics

She get what she want don’t gotta say s**t
Hear it in your voice yo body shakin*
Love, sex, drugs, vibrations
My love don’t cost a (thang)

CYCLE – Song by FERG

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 06:53:47 +0000

FERG is switching things up with his new single, “CYCLE,” and it might be one of the most unexpected records of his career. Rather than leaning into the hard-hitting Harlem sound fans typically associate with him, the rapper goes noticeably left field with a bright, playful track that feels closer to ‘90s pop than traditional FERG. “CYCLE” is fun, upbeat, and intentionally a little quirky, with FERG embracing a much lighter sound than listeners are used to hearing from him. The throwback feel gives the record plenty of personality, and hearing FERG experiment this far outside of his usual lane is part of what makes it interesting. It may catch longtime fans off guard at first, but “CYCLE” shows that he’s still willing to take risks more than a decade into his career.

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Release Date: September 18, 2026
Song: CYCLE

Quotable Lyrics

Come meet me at cycle class
Come meet me at cycle class
Where the girls come work their a**
No lie I’m with some of the baddest
Can’t you see I’m having a blast?

THE GODBODY – Album by Rakim, Kurupt, & Masta Killa

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 06:33:00 +0000

Three different corners of hip-hop history collide as Rakim, Kurupt, and Masta Killa join forces for THE GODBODY. The collaborative album connects Rakim’s golden-era legacy with Kurupt’s West Coast roots and Masta Killa’s Wu-Tang background. The trio already previewed the project with “DPG-Wu-Tang, Wu-Tang-DPG,” followed by “Rock Ya Body,” which brings Daz Dillinger, Ghostface Killah, and Raekwon into the mix.

The guest list only adds to the cross-generational feel, with Snoop Dogg, KRS-One, Kool G Rap, Kokane, Buckshot, and others appearing throughout the album. It’s rare to see this many veteran voices brought together on one project without it simply being a compilation. THE GODBODY instead feels like an intentional bridge between different regions and eras of rap.

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap

Album: THE GODBODY

Something I Need – Offset

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 06:17:00 +0000

Offset is back with his latest single, “Something I Need,” and he’s getting creative with the rollout. Ahead of the release, the Atlanta rapper launched “NEED FM,” a hotline where fans can call in with their relationship problems and potentially get advice from Offset himself. The concept arrives after a turbulent stretch in his personal life and appears to be setting up a more relationship-focused chapter of his music. The rollout is a smart way to turn the song’s title into something bigger than a standard single release. It also gives Offset an opportunity to show more personality outside of the usual music-video-and-snippet formula. After everything surrounding him over the last few years, a more personal direction could make for an interesting next phase of his solo career.

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Release Date: September 18, 2026
Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics

Ten bad b**ches on a boat
And they all call me the GOAT (Yeah)
Know I got bread like a loaf (Loaf)
Rich n**ga, baby, I ain’t broke (Rich n**ga)
Trench baby, we ain’t have no hope (Trench baby)

I Quit Rap – Album by Hunxho

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 05:55:00 +0000

Despite its dramatic title, Hunxho isn’t actually walking away from music. Instead, the Atlanta rapper is back with I Quit Rap, a 20-track album that continues a particularly active stretch of his career. The project follows several 2026 singles, including “Change My Ways,” “Throw It,” and “I Love My Hoe,” all of which helped build toward the release. Hunxho has built much of his following by balancing street records with more vulnerable songs about love, pain, and relationships, and I Quit Rap appears to keep both sides in play. G Herbo and Hotboii are among the guests, while BabyDrill also appears on “Throw It.” Twenty songs is a lot of ground to cover, but for an artist whose appeal comes from letting listeners into his personal life, the longer runtime gives Hunxho plenty of room to do exactly that.

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Release Date: September 18, 2026
Album: I Quit Rap

Tracklist for I Quit Rap

Ugly Speaks / Intro
Save Yo Summer & Yo Money
At War In Love
I Am Who I Am (feat. G Herbo)
Anemia Lover
Still Still
Change My Ways
BP Truck
Yessirrrr (feat. Hotboii)
Love In Magic City
Save Ourselves
Teach You Sum
Learned How To Thug
Throw It (feat. YKNIECE & Fatt Smaxk)
I Love My Hoe

MISS MY DAWG – Song by Yeat featuring Drake

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 05:18:00 +0000

Yeat and Drake are back together on “MISS MY DAWG” one of the biggest surprises from Yeat’s new COCOON EP. The song marks their fourth official collaboration following “IDGAF,” “As We Speak,” and 2025’s “DOG HOUSE.” Fans actually got an early listen when Drake premiered the record in his FOMO short film earlier this week, just days before it landed on streaming. Despite its title, “MISS MY DAWG” isn’t entirely a somber record. Drake handles the chorus with a more reflective approach, touching on death, memories, and eventually having to say goodbye to people close to you. Yeat brings a much different energy to his verse, bouncing between women, money, drugs, and his usual flex-heavy bars before repeatedly returning to the idea of missing his people.

That contrast actually works in the song’s favor. Drake gives the record its emotional center, while Yeat keeps it from becoming too heavy. Four collaborations in, the two have clearly found a formula that allows their very different styles to meet somewhere in the middle.

Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Release Date: September 18, 2026
Album: COCOON

Quotable Lyrics

You’re gonna cry when I’m gonna die
‘Cause I went and made something of my life
One day, you’ll decide those tears had to dry
‘Cause times that we had, they’ll always survive
Light in the sky if you miss your dog

No Rest For The Wicked – Album by AZ Chike

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 04:46:00 +0000

AZ Chike is stepping into a bigger spotlight with his new album, No Rest For The Wicked. The 14-track project follows the extra attention Chike received after appearing on Kendrick Lamar’s “peekaboo” from GNX. This time, he’s surrounded himself with an impressive group of collaborators, including Tyler, The Creator, JMSN, and production from Pharrell Williams, Terrace Martin, and Hit-Boy. Tyler appears twice, including on the previously released “Look Like My Mama,” while “The World Is Ours” also appears later in the project. With some of the West Coast’s biggest names now paying attention, No Rest For The Wicked feels like an important opportunity for Chike to turn his recent momentum into something more lasting. More than anything, the album gives him the space to prove that the attention surrounding his GNX appearance wasn’t just a moment.

Release Date: September 18, 2026
Album: No Rest For The Wicked

Tracklist for No Rest For The Wicked

COCOON – EP by Yeat

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 04:19:00 +0000

Yeat is giving fans his eighth official EP, COCOON. It’s a seven-track EP that arrives while he’s still on the road for his LOVE/LYFE Tour. The rapper originally described the release as a five-song pack made while touring, but continued expanding it before release night. The biggest surprise comes from Drake, who joins Yeat on “miss my dawg,” marking another collaboration between the two after records including “IDGAF” and “As We Speak. At only seven songs, COCOON looks built to be a quick addition to Yeat’s already packed catalog. The project also keeps his momentum moving after releasing “ON NOTHING” earlier this month. Yeat’s willingness to drop music this freely has become part of his appeal, and COCOON gives fans another snapshot of where his sound is right now.

50 Cent Expands His Business Portfolio With New Casino Game “Head Crack”

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 03:44:00 +0000

50 Cent is making another move outside of music, this time with his own casino game. And are we surprised? It’s only a matter of time before 50 Cent is onto his next venture. The rapper and entrepreneur announced “50 Cent’s Head Crack,” a new three-dice game that is set to make its public debut later this month.

50 shared the news on Instagram on Thursday, September 17, alongside promotional footage showing players gathered around a craps table as three dice are rolled. The game will officially be introduced during the G2E Gaming Expo in Las Vegas on September 29, where it is being promoted with the tagline, “New Game, Bigger Energy.”

If 50 has his way, however, the Vegas showcase is only the beginning. He told followers that he plans on bringing “Head Crack” into casinos following its debut. He writes that now might be a good time for fans to “get your bag ready.”

50 Cent Is Onto The Next Venture

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

This venture is another addition to an increasingly wide-ranging business portfolio for Fif. Over the years, 50 has expanded well beyond his recording career. In fact, he’s made moves across television, film, spirits, live entertainment, and more.

Casino gaming might seem like an unexpected next step. But branching into new industries has become fairly standard for 50. He has consistently used his celebrity and competitive personality to build businesses outside of hip-hop, and “Head Crack” gives him another market to explore.

More details about how the game is played and where it could eventually become available are expected to emerge following its Las Vegas reveal.

As for now, fans are supporting his venture and staying tuned to what he does next.

PlaqueBoyMax Says Don Toliver Would Be A Bigger Star If He Had More Sex Appeal

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 18 Sep 2026 03:33:00 +0000

PlaqueBoyMax believes Don Toliver already has most of the ingredients needed to become one of music’s biggest stars. According to the streamer, however, there’s one thing holding him back: sex appeal. During a recent livestream, Max offered his unfiltered take on Toliver’s career and appearance. He argued that the Houston artist would be significantly bigger if he were more conventionally attractive.

“If Don Toliver was a sexy n***a,” Max said, he believes Toliver would be “the biggest” star. He went on to praise the singer’s style and personality, but doubled down on his belief that being more handsome would take his career to another level. Max then turned the conversation toward himself, joking that his own commitment to the gym is partly because he plans on becoming a “sex symbol” when his opportunity comes.

As wild as the delivery was, Max’s comments sparked a broader conversation about how much image and conventional attractiveness actually matter in the music industry. Some fans laughed at his assessment, while others argued that an artist’s appearance can play a role in marketing and mainstream appeal.

It’s also worth noting that Max is far from a Don Toliver critic. Earlier this year, he praised Octane, called Toliver a hitmaker and spoke highly of his vocals while encouraging his audience to support the singer’s rise.

“I’m not even gonna lie mfs gone say sum bc max the one that said it but really he lowkey right,” one person commented, agreeing with PlaqueboyMax.

“LMFAOOOOO this the s**t you only say in your head because I said the same thing after watching him and Drake last night don a ugly mf,” somebody else wrote on X.

“I wish he hadn’t used the word “sexy” but I understand what he saying cause don talent is out of this world,” another person said.

Toliver has yet to publicly respond to Max’s latest assessment. Either way, it opens a broader discussion about talent and looks in the entertainment industry. And all press is good press because Drake recently teased a new song with Don Toliver on his FOMO live stream. So now, all eyes are on Toliver to see what he’ll do next.
