Drake Drops Bars On “4PM In Calabasas”
“4PM In Calabasas” was released on Drake’s OVO Sound Radio. The freestyle is riddled with Puff Daddy and Bad Boy references over a sample of Diddy and Mase’s late-90s single “Can’t Nobody Hold Me Down.” The Canadian also took a few slight jabs at Joe Budden who has since responded to Drizzy’s lyrical punches.

Kanye West Debuts “Round & Round (Champions)” f. Everyone
Kanye West stopped by Big Boy’s Neighborhood on Los Angeles’ Real 92.3 to debut the lead single off G.O.O.D. Music’s upcoming Cruel Winter compilation project, “Round & Round (Champions).” The super single, which originally didn’t have a name upon being premiered live on-air, features verses from Travi$ Scott, Migos’ Quavo, Big Sean, Yo Gotti, 2 Chainz, Desiigner and “First Day Out The Feds” rapper Gucci Mane all on one monster track.
As for how he got some of the hottest in the game all on one song, Ye told Big Boy, “a lot of times it’s just the energy in the studio, whoever is coming by. And then we get to talk about who would sound nice on the track.”
DMX Is “Still Scratching” With Styles P
DMX shows Hip Hop lovers that he’s still got the passion with his Styles P-assisted track “Still Scratching.” He’s still spitting fire bars and still expresses himself with a growl that is just as intense as it was in the 2000s.
