Kendrick Lamar Cooks Drake With New Diss Track Entitled “Euphoria” – The R Report

Kendrick Lamar has finally fired back at Drake on his blistering new diss song “Euphoria” — and he pulls no punches. Released by surprise on Tuesday (April 30), the fiery track finds the Compton rapper unloading on his longtime rival for several minutes after the Toronto native took shots at him on “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle.” K. Dot begins: “Them super powers getting neutralized I can only watch in silence/ The famous actor we once knew is looking paranoid and now is spiraling.” The Compton star refers to Drake as a “pathetic master manipulator” and raps: “Fabricate stories on the family front, ‘cus you heard Mr. Morale.” He also takes a swipe at Drake being half-white, adding: “You’re not a rap artist, you a scam artist with the hope of being accepted/ Tommy Hilfiger stood out but FUBU had never been your collection.” Kendrick also noted that he makes music that electrifies them while Drizzy makes music that pacifies. Before the beat kicks in, the former TDE star spits: “But don’t tell no lie about me, and I won’t tell truths about you.” The “Money Trees” rapper also subversively mentions Drake by name, referring to the Draco gun as “Drake.” He raps: “I park his song/ The very first time I shot me a Drac the homie had told me to aim it this way/ I didn’t point down enough/ Today I show you I learned from those mistakes.” He also references both Pharrell and Pusha T. He raps: “I don’t like you popping shit at Pharrell, for him I’ll inherit the beef/ Yeah fuck all that Pushin’ P, lemme see you Pusha T/ You better off spinning again on him before you think about pushing me/ He’s Terrence Thornton, I’m Terence Crawford, yeah I’m whooping feet.” He also takes a swipe at 2Pac’s famous crown ring, which Drake purchased for more than $1 million at auction last year. He raps: “Somebody had told me that you got a ring, on God, I’m ready to double the wage/ I’d rather do that than let a Canadian n-gga make ‘Pac turn in his grave.” Kendrick brings the maligned Gunna into his diss, spitting: “We ain’t gotta get personal, this a friendly fade, you should keep it that way/ I know some shit about n-ggas that would make Gunna Wunna look like a saint/ This ain’t been about critics, not about gimmicks, not about who the greatest is/ Always been about love and hate, now lemme say I’m the biggest hater.” Lamar continually ups the stakes, growing more venomous as the song progresses. He takes a shot at Drake’s ladies, rapping: “I hate the way that you walk, the way that you talk, I hate the way that you dress/ I hate the way that you sneak diss, if I catch flight it’s gonna be direct/ We hate the bitches you fuck ’cause they confuse themselves with real women/ And notice I said ‘we,’ it’s not just me, I’m what the culture feeling.” He later refers to Drake’s race again, asking: “How many more fairytale stories about your life ’til we had enough?/ How many more Black features ’til you finally feel that you Black enough/ I like Drake with the melodies, I don’t like Drake when he act tough/ You gon’ make a n-gga bring back Puff, let me see if Chubbs really crash something.” K.Dot continues: “Yeah my first one like my last one, this a classic, you don’t have one/ Let your core audience stomach that, then tell ’em where you get the abs from.” Later, he references his former label. He says: “Aye Top Dawg, who the fuck they think they playing with?/ Extortion my middle name, as soon as you jump off that plane, bitch/ I’m allergic to the lame shit, only you like being famous/ Yachty can’t give you no swag neither, I don’t give a fuck about who you hang with.” Kendrick also alleges that Drizzy wanted to work together on a song. He raps: “Surprised you wanted that feature request, you know that we got some shit to address/ I even hate when you say the word ‘n-gga’… but that’s just me, I guess.” The Compton native also brings Sexyy Red into the fold, rapping: “When I see you standing by Sexyy Red I believe you see two bad bitches/ I believe you don’t like women, that’s real competition, you might pop ass with ’em.” K.Dot brings Drake’s paternal history into question, taking a shot at his relationship with his son, Adonis. He raps: “Y’all thinking my life is rap? That’s ho shit, I got a son to raise, but I can see you know nothing about that.” Towards the end of the song, Lamar also takes a swipe at Drake’s rumored team of writers, also referencing Drizzy’s affiliation with Kill Bill.

Chris Brown Calls Out Quavo In The “Weakest Link” Diss – The R Report

Chris Brown has taken his disdain for Quavo to a whole different level with the release of a new diss track, on which he takes some deeply personal shots at his adversary. On Friday (April 19), the Virginia native released “Weakest Link” online packaged with an image of the Migos superstar eating a hot dog as its cover. On the track, Breezy addresses his rival having a fling with his ex-girlfriend and in turn claims to have slept with Saweetie while she was still in a relationship with the 33-year-old: “You fucked my ex-ho, that’s cool, I don’t give no fuck, lil nigga/ ‘Cause I fucked yo’ ex when you were still with her, bitch, I’m up, lil nigga.” He then turns the heat all the way up by namedropping the Southern rapper former groupmate Takeoff, who was tragically shot and killed at the age of 28 two years ago. “R.I.P. Takeoff, he the only real one, I got true respect/ Crazy how when he died, everybody really wished it was you instead,” he spits on the scathing cut. https://youtu.be/wPljp4h4NuQ?si=DKnfNE1oSm1OhU-L

Drake Continues To Come At Kendrick Lamar with New Diss Record “Taylor Made Freestyle” – The R Report

Drake has put more pressure on Kendrick Lamar with a second diss track within the span of a week, this time with some technological assistance. On Friday (April 19), less than a week after “Push Ups” leaked online, the Canadian superstar amped up his feud with K.Dot with a new joint. Whereas the authenticity of his first counterattack was under speculation for a while, “Taylor Made Freestyle” openly embraces artificial intelligence with features from the computer-generated voices of 2Pac and Snoop Dogg to convey perspectives in addition to Drizzy’s — using lyrics that Drake wrote. After using the two legends’ viewpoints to press his adversary to drop a response, the 37-year-old references Taylor Swift‘s new album and TDE boss Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith with the bars: “But now we gotta wait a fucking week ’cause Taylor Swift is your new Top/ And if you ’bout to drop, she gotta approve/ This girl really ’bout to make you act like you not in a feud/ She tailor made your schedule with Ant, you out of the loop.” https://youtu.be/zhEiduBxX4c?si=v09zBZ6QVtbmC-Wf

J. Cole Take Aim At Kendrick Lamar On New Mixtape ”Might Delete Later” – The R Report

J. Cole has hit back at Kendrick Lamar on his surprise new project Might Delete Later. On the mixtape’s closing track, “7 Minute Drill,” Cole appears to reference K.

Taking aim at the perceived quality of his friend-turned-foe’s catalog, he raps: “Your first shit was classic, your last shit was tragic/ Your second shit put n-ggas to sleep, but they gassed it/ Your third shit was massive and that was your prime/ I was trailin’ right behind and I just now hit mine.” He continues: “Now I’m front of the line with a comfortable lead/ How ironic, soon as I got it, now he want somethin’ with me/ Well, he caught me at the perfect time, jump up and see.” The Dreamville boss also channels JAY-Z‘s “Takeover” diss at Nas: “He averagin’ one hard verse like every 30 months or somethin’/ If he wasn’t dissin’, then we wouldn’t be discussin’ him.” He then compares his sparring match with Kendrick, who he once planned to record an album with, to the scene in New Jack City where Wesley Snipes’ character Nino tearfully kills his brother. “Lord, don’t make me have to smoke this n-gga ’cause I fuck with him/ But push come to shove, on this mic, I will humble him/ I’m Nino with this thing, this that ‘New Jack City’ meme/ Yeah, I’m aimin’ at Gee Money, cryin’ tears before I bust at him.” This sentiment is repeated later in Cole’s verse when he raps: “My text flooded with the hunger for a toxic reply/ I’m hesitant, I love my brother, but I’m not gonna lie/ I’m powered up for real, that shit would feel like swattin’ a fly.” He then repurposes another line from Hov’s “Takeover”: “Four albums in 12 years, n-gga, I can divide/ Shit, if this is what you want, I’m indulgin’ in violence.” Cole ends the fiery song with a warning to the rest of the rap game while teasing his upcoming album The Fall Off. “This is merely a warning shot to back n-ggas down/ Back in the town where they whippin’ work and traffickin’ pounds/ My jack jumpin’ ’bout a rapper makin’ blasphemous sounds/ Switchin’ sides like the tassel on the cap and the gown/ I’m fully loaded, n-gga, I can drop two classics right now,” he spits, before adding: “Let me chill out, man… ‘The Fall Off’ on the way, n-gga.”

In November of that year, he returned to the airwaves with The Access GRANTed Podstream…. a podcast that he is running independently.  With this show, he has been able to connect with guests and audiences globally.  In addition to some well-known names such as Melba Moore, Speech from Arrested Development, Digital Underground and others, he has also made sure to keep a balance and interview many independent artists and entrepreneurs from around the country and specially keeping Baltimore artists as a focus of the show.   In 2022, Antwon launched his signature Long Island Iced Tea (Dirty Half and Half), curated by his business partner TipseePheen.  There is also now a signature Rum Punch available.  The two just celebrated their first successful year with the signature drinks and the plan is to hopefully have these drinks available for retail in the coming year or so.  He has also just recently created Access GRANTed Enterprises, LLC which will serve as the parent company for media ventures, the signature drinks, merchandise and future business endeavors.  Connect with Mr. Antwon FB - Antwon Grant and Access GRANTed the Podstream IG - @mr.antwon and @access_granted_ag X - @accessgrantedag  Show Channel - YouTube - Access GRANTed the Podstream, and on all streaming platforms

Rhyme Assassin Gears Up For New Release Ft. M.O.P & Ruste Juxx (Interview) – The R Report

International Hip Hop Star Rhyme Assassin returns with a new star-studded single. “Run Em Up (Told Ya) featuring the iconic M.O.P and Ruste Juxx. The single releases everywhere music is sold on April 19th. Tap in below for some inside scoop on the single. MJ: You're back with brand new music, still sharing mics with legends of the game. This time around for your new single, dropping everywhere April 19th, you have M.O.P and Ruste Juxx in Run Em Up (Told Ya) with production by Arcitype. How did this link-up come into play?  Rhyme Assassin: Approximately 2 years ago I purchased a few beats from the Arcitype and when I heard the beat, I used for Run Em Up all I could hear on it was M.O.P crushing the instrumental so when I considered a feature it had to be M.O.P. It took me some time to get the feature in place but super excited it worked out. MJ: From the cover, we can already assume there will be grittiness, tough bars, and even some intimidation. Without giving too much away before April 19th, talk about the concept of the record.  Rhyme Assassin: All I can say it’s grimy and gritty, with raw bars and metaphors at the same time. It will have your head nodding like crazy. A special shout out to Arcitype, I told him the direction I wanted to take with the song, and he didn’t take long to whip out his bag of sonic magic tricks. He sent a beat that matched the exact mood I was aiming at, exactly what the song needed. It’s gonna be crazy everybody gotta keep the 19th clear for “Run Em Up.” MJ: Why M.O.P and Ruste Juxx for the features?  Rhyme Assassin: Well, I have been always a fan of M.O.P and they are legends in the game so it’s an honor to have them on the same track. That’s why the opening was “I am on a track with legends”.  Like I explained earlier they bring the right energy that the beat needed, and they annihilated the track with punchlines and metaphors. Juxx is a veteran MC and I worked with him on a few tracks, and he poses great skills and energy that would complement M.O.P on the same track, so I felt he would be the perfect match. MJ: Is this record leading fans and audiences into something forthcoming from you?  Rhyme Assassin: Rum ‘em Up (Told ya) is the second single from my forthcoming album ‘Dedicated to Self’ which will drop this year but currently no date has been set yet. I will potentially drop one more single and 2 videos and then drop the album. MJ: Can we expect visuals? Again, without giving too much away, what is your vision for the video?  Rhyme Assassin: I am currently in discussion of the potential of getting a video done with M.O.P and Ruste Juxx for this single. I have hopes of making the video because I know fans are going to love this offering. As a fan of M.O.P it would be a personal accomplishment and achievement to have them on video. As for the concept I will discuss with the team if everyone is on the same page to get one done. MJ: Let everyone know how they can connect with you and keep up to date with new music, videos, tours, etc. Rhyme Assassin: Anyone can contact me on the following email – unclerhymez@gmail.com and Rhyme Assassin on all media platforms like Spotify, YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.

Virginia’s Jay?Duhh & Money By The Pound Records Release “Mind Tricks” (Single) – The R Report

Jay?Duhhh, Virginia based indie artist along with Money By The Pound Records present her new single Mind Tricks produced by Mex Manny. “I wrote my new single “Mind Tricks” to  empower people to overcome daily obstacles such as their fears, doubts, the opinions of others/ the world, other people’s bad decisions, and the overall negativity that the world can sometimes bring. It’s easy to lose yourself in a world that is full of judgment and constantly moving. Sometimes you need to sit with yourself to realize what YOU need to be able to accomplish everything your heart desires. Life isn’t easy, and there will always be things that try to stop you from what you need to do, but if you stand strong, open your eyes and mind, and  stay true to yourself…. You’ll always win in the end. Never be afraid to Shine your Light. Nothing outside of you has Power over you. What I want people to apprehend from this piece is that Life is anything but easy, but you are anything but weak. Don’t let it Change who  you are.” – Jay?Duhhh https://open.spotify.com/album/78ulc6TB2Bh0eCkmJNS6Pq IG: https://www.instagram.com/jay.duhhh2000
