The DX Digest for Wednesday (March 22) finds a curious mashup of Drake’s “KMT” and XXXTENTACION’s “Look At Me” topping the list while a nearly 11-minute interview with Dave Chappelle on Jimmy Kimmel Live! comes in on its heels. Mike WiLL Made-It continues to kill it with another collaborative single, “Razzle Dazzle,” featuring Future, and Lecrae and Ty Dolla $ign return with visuals for “Blessings.” Music from Consequence, Papoose and Peedi Crakk, King Magnetic, Slug and Masta Ace, Wiki, Zoey Dollaz, CyHi The Prynce, and an interview with GoldLink round out the Top 10. Kick back and listen up.
Drake & XXXtentacion – “look at me” & “KMT” (MASHup)”
Some clever person known on SoundCloud as “brad.” decided to mashup XXXTENTACION’s “Look At Me” instrumental with Drake and Giggs’ vocals from “KMT,” which comes from the Toronto superstar’s new playlist, More Life. XXXTENTACION’s beat is right on time with Dreezy’s delivery and there have been accusations that Drake stole the flow from the Florida rapper, including XXXTENTACION himself. Although he initially brushed it off, he eventually took to Twitter and addressed the issue by writing, “I’m not gonna twitter rap with niggas for stealing my flow, I slap niggas don’t come to Florida. It’s funny how the industry let this pussy Nigga sit at the top for so long, all y’all suck kill yourselves, Meh dun chat.” Whatever the case may be, it doesn’t take away from the fact the mashup is pretty dope. Listen above.

When Consequence isn’t working on material or performing with A Tribe Called Quest, he’s focused on his solo output. His latest is in the form of “Say My Name” featuring Papoose and Peedi Crakk, which thankfully has little to do with Destiny’s Child.
