Robbery – Song by A$AP Rocky featuring Doechii

Alexander Cole — Sat, 17 Jan 2026 06:45:00 +0000

“Robbery,” the 13th track on Don’t Be Dumb, is one of A$AP Rocky’s most unique songs, and by extension, there are going to be some strong opinions. Production-wise, this is a jazz track, through and through. Meanwhile, Doechii delivers a strong verse, albeit one that will certainly upset the internet. The internet hates on everything, and with Doechii refusing to compromise, we imagine there will be some detractors. What’s interesting about the song, however, is that it ends with a literal robbery. Rocky is directing people to get on the ground, and it makes for a cinematic finale.

Release Date: January 16, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: Don’t Be Dumb

Quotable Lyrics from Robbery

Flacko Season, socks on, some think I robbed them
Why last seven years, only dropped like five songs?
Peace, love, I got a big bodyguards
Strong arm, buy guns, bygones be bygones

Whiskey (Release Me) – Song by A$AP Rocky featuring Westside Gunn & Damon Albarn

Alexander Cole — Sat, 17 Jan 2026 06:15:00 +0000

A$AP Rocky’s new album, Don’t Be Dumb, has been one of the wildest first listens we have gotten in quite some time. The latest track to get some coverage here is “Whiskey (Release Me),” which features Westside Gunn and Damon Albarn from Gorillaz. This is a song that could very well lead to some strong reactions. After all, Rocky isn’t at his most energetic on this track. Not to mention, Westside Gunn and Damon Albarn aren’t always everyone’s cup of tea. However, the production, lyrics, flows, and craft here are top-notch. It’s clear that Rocky was cooking with this album.

Release Date: January 16, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Quotable Lyrics from Whiskey (Release Me)

We live to see this shit and ya’ll know what you pick
It all depends if she gon’ come freaky or share with all her friends
The neighbors want some peace but they gon’ hear it through the vents
These boys gon’ find me, give me cramps for settin’ all these trends

Air Force (Black Demarco) – Song by A$AP Rocky

Alexander Cole — Sat, 17 Jan 2026 05:45:00 +0000

A$AP Rocky’s Don’t Be Dumb is filled with some pretty wild bangers, and one of them just so happens to be the song “Air Force (Black Demarco).” The song begins with absolutely out-of-control noise and chaos. This eventually settles down and becomes a subdued song, with Rocky drawing in to a whisper. Overall, it goes along with the sonic aesthetics of the project, which can only be described as “unique.” There is a lot going on here, but it oddly works. This is going to be a polarizing album, but it could very well go down as one of Rocky’s best.

Release Date: January 16, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: Don’t Be Dumb

Quotable Lyrics from Air Force (Black Demarco)

Smokin’ boof pack like a pack of Newports
Judge want my ass, smoke a pack in the court
Kickin’ in your door, all black Air Force
Old school whip, got a phone and it’s cordless

STFU – Song by A$AP Rocky

Alexander Cole — Sat, 17 Jan 2026 05:15:00 +0000

A$AP Rocky’s new album, Don’t Be Dumb, comes complete with some interesting production. Having said that, no song borders on Yeezus territory more than “STFU.” You can even throw Death Grips’ “I Break Mirrors With My Face In The United States” into the mix. Regardless, it makes for an incredibly interesting listen. The artist is really taking some risks with this album, and we can’t blame him for wanting to go in a completely new direction. It’s a lot of fun. While some may not love the direction, you have to appreciate an artist willing to take a few risks.

Release Date: January 16, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: Don’t Be Dumb

Quotable Lyrics from STFU

Is there heaven for a pig?
Might spray paint that on my van
Hit two hunnid on the bridge
Screamin’, “Catch me if you can”

Narrator Behind J. Cole’s “The Fall-Off” Trailer Reveals Identity & Story Behind Their Collab

Zachary Horvath — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 22:53:29 +0000

J. Cole rocked the foundation of the hip-hop world this week by officially announcing The Fall-Off. On Wednesday, January 14, the North Carolina rapper dropped a teaser trailer featuring commentary about what falling off means.

The narrator says, “Everything is supposed to go away eventually. You see this especially in show business with famous actors or musicians, and it’s like, ‘Oh, this guy used to be famous and then he fell off. What happened?’ They wanna point to, ‘They did this and this, and they made some sort of mistake’ instead of thinking, look, it’s kind of crazy they got famous in the first place.”

They continue, “So few people reach that level that, yes, of course it’s not gonna last forever. Because somebody else has to take that spot. That’s how show business has been since forever. But no, they always say, ‘Oh, that guy fell off.’ They wanna look down on him for just going through the natural cycle of rising and falling.”

Comedian Dan Harumi confirms he narrated J. Cole’s 'The Fall-Off' announcement teaser — Dreamville discovered his video when it had just 300 views

Since the trailer dropped, fans have been wondering who the voice behind that expertly crafted message is. Well, lucky for everyone asking, they have stepped forward. It’s YouTuber and comedian Dan Harumi per Kurrco, and he explained the very cool backstory as to how this collaboration materialized.

As he explains in the clip above, he shared a video to his channel back in March titled “How Long Is America Supposed To Last?” about the ever-changing statuses of celebrities, businesses, and the U.S.

Harumi says that someone from Dreamville had been following him on Instagram and caught wind of the upload. The rep then shared it with J. Cole and the rest is history.

Before signing off, Harumi left some inspirational advice for anyone watching. “Let this be a lesson. To anybody out there, if you do this kind of thing, if you make content… Just post the video. You never know who’s watching. I put that video out on YouTube and at the time it had like 300 views and one of those 300 views was J. Cole, so you never know.”

Now, Harumi’s voice will forever be associated with what could be a monumental hip-hop album. The Fall-Off has long been speculated to be Cole’s retirement project, so we will see if that’s the case. It drops on February 6 and has a lead single out now, “Disc 2 Tr ack 2″ as of Jan. 14.

Jadakiss Goes Hard On New Freestyle Over Drake’s “You Only Live Twice”

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 22:51:12 +0000

Jadakiss continues to prove himself as one of the most respected rappers in the game, even if his recent shift to podcasting on his show with Fat Joe might leave a gap in newer fans’ assessment of his legend status. Fortunately, the Verzuz GOAT found a new way to tap into a less knowledgeable audience. It’s by rapping over a beat from a more contemporary legend: Drake.

XXL shared a Jada freestyle over Drizzy’s “You Only Live Twice” instrumental on Twitter. If you don’t recall, this Lil Wayne and Rick Ross collab (that aged well, didn’t it…) landed on the Toronto superstar’s 2021 album Certified Lover Boy.

The LOX spitter goes hard over the beat, rapping about his luxuries and successes, his corporate dominance, and treating a 401K like petty cash. It’s not a long freestyle nor is it a particularly refreshing one, but the rhyme schemes and his iconic voice carry energy all the same.

We’ll see if we get more new music from ‘Kiss sooner rather than later, whether it’s freestyles like these or more official releases. For such a mainstay in fundamentalist hip-hop, every new verse we get is a treat for hardcore fans who still remember the glory days.

When Is Drake Dropping ICEMAN?

Jadakiss has also shown love to Drake as of late, including a recent discussion with Fat Joe about the 6ix God’s commercial dominance. They both agreed that his upcoming album ICEMAN will probably be similarly massive on metrics like the Billboard charts, let alone among community reception. While the project still doesn’t have a release date, many folks expect that it will drop very soon.

Regardless of that lack of clarity, Jadakiss has been liking Drake’s rollout so far. He had some interesting thoughts on his “What Did I Miss?” single, which talks a lot about the Kendrick Lamar battle’s fallout.

“He got a taste of the rap industry, man,” he expressed. “They flip on you emphatically. […] They flip. […] Rappers, the game, executives, everybody you could think of, store owners. Yeah, they f***ing flip. That’s part of this. That’s the game we in.”

We’ll see if these two lyricists have another crossover in the future for their fans.

Streamer Vitaly Awaiting Deportation To Russia After Months In Philippines Jail

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 22:28:52 +0000

It has been a difficult past nine months for Kick streamer Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, who recently did prison time in the Philippines for disturbing the peace. According to the Manila Standard, following the closure of his criminal case and the completion of his sentence over harassment-related charges, the controversial content creator now awaits deportation back to his native Russia.

Per the publication, the Philippines’ Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) confirmed the upcoming deportation on Thursday (January 15). “Let this be a reminder to all our visitors here in the Philippines that while we welcome tourists and treat them with respect, we also expect them to follow our laws, just as we do when we travel abroad,” Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla reportedly stated.

“We have no ill feelings against Vitaly,” he continued. “He has served his time, shown remorse, and is now a free man when he returns to Russia.” Some folks aware of Vitaly’s United States green card and residence might question why he’s going back to Russia. Authorities clarified that standard immigration procedures over his original passport and his original citizenship indicate that this is the process to follow.

Zdorovetskiy will reportedly leave the Philippines within a week following an order from the Bureau of Immigration that still needs a final clearance from the courts and from the National Bureau of Investigation. FearBuck on Twitter caught pictures of Vitaly at the press conference announcing the deportation.

Why Did Vitaly Go To Prison?

For those unaware, authorities in the Philippines arrested him last year for disturbing the peace and harassing public officials and citizens during a livestream. Vitaly’s controversial livestreams had caused ruckuses before, but nothing like this.

Before this halted his streaming career, Vitaly even crossed over with rappers sometimes, although not always to two-way positive results. He claimed that Quavo scammed him out of thousands of dollars, whereas some rappers like YG and Ty Dolla $ign have joined his livestreams supposedly catching alleged predators.

We will see if Vitaly makes a return to the public eye or if this situation will keep him out of the Internet for a while. Either way, fans are curious as to what his next era could look like.

NBA YoungBoy Is Now The Most RIAA-Certified Rapper Ever

Zachary Horvath — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 22:04:19 +0000

If you aren’t a fan of NBA YoungBoy’s music, you can at least not deny that he’s got a chokehold over the genre. At just 26 years old, the Baton Rouge native has been a culture shifter and an undeniable hitmaker. He’s got his incredible work ethic to thank for that, and his efforts have culminated in a mind-bending record.

Per Kurrco, YB is now the most RIAA-certified MC of all time outdoing superstars like Drake, Jay-Z, Kanye West and others. But that might not even be the best way to phrase it. To put it bluntly, he’s absolutely obliterating his competition.

As of today, the Make America Slime Again creator is in possession of 126 plaques(!) To put that into perspective, per The Hype Magazine, Drake likely had anywhere from 45-60 certifications at YB’s age. Even crazier, the queen of modern-day pop, Taylor Swift, was probably sitting on 60–80.

NBA YoungBoy is now officially the most certified rapper of all time with 126 RIAA certified titles pic.twitter.com/WrPI96Ue8g
— Kurrco (@Kurrco) January 16, 2026

What propelled NBA YoungBoy to this level is the near endless list of plaques he received today. He acquired 36(!) and what’s wild is that most of them aren’t duplicates and are completely solo singles.

Overall, that just speaks to how he doesn’t need features to help his music sell.

NBA YoungBoy Releases Slime Cry

It’s an incredible feat, to put it simply, and at the level he operates at, he may drive up the total so high that no rapper will eclipse it. The Beatles have the most awards from the RIAA of anyone, but they may have to watch their backs for the star that is YB.

He could add to that total in the coming months as he just dropped his first album of 2026, Slime Cry, today. It features a whopping 30 tracks and includes rare collaborations. There are two of them, to be exact, one with Jelly Roll and another co-starring Burna Boy.

The project was supposed to drop in November 2025, which would have been YB’s fourth of that year. Then, he dropped More Leaks, MASA, and DESHAWN.

50 Cent Trolls Jim Jones For Allegedly Having No Electricity At His Studio

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 21:56:38 +0000

When Jim Jones, Maino, Dave East, and Fabolous started their Let’s Rap About It podcast recently, they might not have expected 50 Cent to jump down their throats so viciously. But after criticizing his role in the Netflix Diddy docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning, all bets are off. Now, 50’s even trolling the alleged state of their studio.

As caught by Livebitez and DJ Akademiks on Instagram, he took to social media with a few videos clowning the space for allegedly not having electricity at one point. More specifically, the G-Unit mogul posted an alleged clip of the Let’s Rap About It space with the lights off, and folks discussing together with flashlights.

“LOL @mr_camron [Cam’ron] turned the lights off, them bum a** [ninja emoji] in there with flash lights,” he captioned the post. Another post saw 50 share a video of cartoon eyes on a black background, whereas another was more of a skit in which he was recording a Super Bowl LX promo when the lights suddenly cut out.

Fif’s post also reference Cam’ron’s own beef with Jim Jones, which continues to develop as a post-Dipset fallout story. But for what it’s worth, Jim Jones thanked 50 Cent and Cam’ron for “free promo,” so maybe everyone’s eating all the same here.

For those unaware, 50 Cent and Jim Jones’ beef dates back to G-Unit and The Diplomats feuding in the 2000s, and most recently flared up due to that Diddy doc criticism. From there, both of them are clowning each other for their financial woes, clout-chasing, connections with other MCs… the list goes on.

Ironically, this isn’t the first time that 50 Cent clowned Jim Jones’ media space specifically. He leaked audio of Jones’ landlord allegedly claiming that he owes thousands in back rent.

For the most part, Capo and company have allowed all this to roll off their shoulders. However, 50’s doing the same, not responding at all to a freestyle against him. They both have other beefs and conflicts to handle. Nevertheless, it seems like they will always cash in on an opportunity to roast each other.

Turk & Cash Money Tour Promoters Reportedly Seek To Settle Exit Dispute

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 21:30:44 +0000

Turk has had some Cash Money issues for a while now, whether it’s his beef with B.G. after their days with the Hot Boys or his controversial legal dispute with tour promoters over the label’s 30th anniversary trek that began last year. However, according to an exclusive AllHipHop report from Grouchy Greg Watkins, this latter battle might see a resolution.

For those unaware, the Hot Boy and Dope Shows Inc. have lawsuits against each other over the former’s exit from Cash Money’s 30th anniversary tour. Per the outlet, the court scheduled a settlement conference for Tuesday, February 17 of this year. Federal judges often schedule these conferences as a mandatory process before determining if their cases will fully go to court.

As such, despite a lot of animosity in recent months, there might be a chance for both parties to walk away with a satisfactory settlement on both ends. Still, since their claims against one another means that this could be a zero-sum game. We will have to wait and see what the next update from legal proceedings indicates.

Why Is Turk Suing Cash Money’s Tour Promoters?

For those unaware, Turk’s dispute with the Cash Money tour promoters concerns his controversial and sudden exit from the trek, which he claims happened due to promoters rather than his own will. Dope Shows Inc. sued him for $12 million in federal court, claiming he used threats and defamation to sabotage the tour and cause security risks. The New Orleans rapper sued them for $340,000 in Florida, claiming that they still owe him that money and used the aforementioned security concerns as an excuse to not pay him what they promised.

On the other hand, Dope Shows claims that the instigation of Turk’s beef with B.G. on behalf of the former could have caused B.G.’s probation officer to pull him from the tour. They also claim B.G. rakes in much more interest and revenue than his Hot Boys colleague. Alleged leaks of the tour’s confidential financial happenings also reportedly contributed to this dispute.

Turk claims that promoters used that drama to drive more ticket sales and that he refused a pay cut for more shows, which led to this legal battle. We will see if they reach an agreement or head to court.
