News : Is YG Release His Most Awaited Album Next Month ? Deet Inside

One year after he released his debut studio album, his 2014 breakout effort My Krazy Life, YG was shot. He did not stay down. The Compton rapper came back the next year, just as brazenly honest about the realities of his life, with a song called “Who Shot Me?” As a storyteller, YG’s projects are peppered with comical skits and L.A. street mythology. Since breaking through with 2009’s Ty Dolla $ign–assisted “Toot It and Boot It,” he has recorded over 10 mixtapes and albums, developing his trademark West Coast sound with frequent collaborator DJ Mustard. Throughout his career, YG has worked with hip-hop’s elite, including Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Jeezy.

Manifest is the upcoming sixth studio album by the Swedish-Danish heavy metal band Amaranthe. It is set to be released on October 2, 2020 via Nuclear Blast.[3]

The album is set to have guest appearances from Noora Louhimo from Battle Beast, Perttu Kivilaakso from Apocalyptica, Elias Holmlid from Dragonland and Heidi Shepherd from Butcher Babies.

In an interview with HeadBangers Lifestyle, the bands guitarist and keyboardist Olof Mörck revealed that the album version of “Do or Die” will only contain Nils Molin’s male clean vocals and Henrik Englund Wilhemsson’s unclean vocals, while the single version of the song, which will appear as a bonus track on the album, only contains Elize Ryd’s female clean vocals and Angela Gossow’s harsh vocals. The guitar solo by Jeff Loomis appears on both versions of the song.[4]

ire and brimstone! Savour the sweet scent of sulphur as AMARANTHE delves deep into Miltonian lore with ‘Archangel’! An ancient tale of the fall of the angel Lucifer Morningstar was interpreted as a Greek tragedy in John Milton’s seminal ‘Paradise Lost’, and it is from this perspective we tell a brief yet momentous story of greed, betrayal and overblown pride — an all too familiar and contemporary theme. AMARANTHE’s first collaboration with Poland’s visual grandmasters Grupa13 took us from abandoned and ghastly factory halls in Wrocław to the derelict ruins of Świny Castle among the Polish mountains. Light up your incense, fill your goblet and delight in a darker shade of AMARANTHE!

The forthcoming effort is his third full-length in three years, following 2019’s 4REAL, 4REAL and 2018’s Stay Dangerous. YG has been teasing the album for a few months now: first with May’s triplet flow-filled “Laugh Now Kry Later”, June’s timely ACAB hymn “FTP”, and then July’s drip anthem “SWAG”. Now, he’s back with “Equinox”, a sensual twerk soundtrack that features his 4Hunnid Records signee Day Sulan and a great Fatman Scoop loop in the hook.

The song comes packaged with an — ahem — intriguing visual that sees YG and Sulan trading verses while a bunch of scantily-clad women dance beside them. Check it out below.

The “Fuck Donald Trump” rapper hasn’t revealed the record’s artwork or tracklist just yet, but we can assume more information will be made available in the coming month. As Uproxx pointed out, My 4Hunnid Life will mark the last album YG owes under his current deal with Def Jam.

In the meantime, revisit this legendary moment from Fall 2019 when YG kicked a white fan off stage for refusing to say “Fuck Donald Trump” into the mic. King shit.

Each vinyl color was personally selected by the single band members and is a bold statement for which value is the most important to them: Creativity, independence, prudence, cleverness, single-mindeddess and composure. All together, these values are the foundation to overcome obstacles and face difficult and uncertain situations. To symbolize that, every vinyl comes with a “hero card” corresponding with the band member and their personally picked value. When all six cards are united, they form the album cover for “Manifest”. The colours include.

[Breaking-News] Is Elderbrook Release His New album Why Do We Shake In The Cold? This Week ? Deet Inside

 ELDERBROOK delivers a stunning new video for the title track from his debut album ‘WHY DO WE SHAKE IN THE COLD?’, arriving September 18th via Big Beat Records. The ethereal new video – which follows on from an exemplary run of visuals from his debut body of work – encapsulates the overarching emotions of the song, dialing up the importance of human connection. 

Speaking on the new video and the title track for his upcoming debut album, ELDERBROOK shares; “This is about people needing people. The idea that we shake in the cold to let other people know that we need them close. Though I’m not sure this is a scientifically valid theory, the idea is something that I love. That we show we are sad to let others know we need them. That’s why I named the album after Elderbrook’s theory of humanity and shaking. A lot of this album explores themes that are based around people needing people and I couldn’t think of anything more perfect.” 

Grammy and Ivor Novello nominated, live phenomenon, producer, singer, songwriter ELDERBROOK continues to cement himself as a multi-faceted talent who can effortlessly explore and push boundaries within his genre. Collaborations with Diplo, Camelphat, Black Coffee, Blonde, and Rudimental have earnt him a revered global reputation as an artist in demand.  

Expect an exemplary debut record that intricately explores themes of identity, emotion,and the importance of human connection, presenting ELDERBROOK as a unique artist in the crossover electronic space making emotive, uplifting music with a sensitive storytelling element attached to it.

Speaking on the album narrative, he shares; “Sonically, the album brings my sound back to a more indie/alternative world than I’ve been in a while. Still taking my love of electronic music but mixing it together with music styles I started with and that I’ve always been inspired by.” 

Can't help the way the body moves

Why do we shake in the cold, naked and stoned

And how that every time we choose

Something has to break in the fall and I pay for it all

If only I could tell myself at twenty years

That someone else was waiting alone, well I would have run

If only I could start again, I'd pick apart the pieces

And assemble them all, the way that I want

Why do we shake in the cold? [2x]

Can't help the way the body moves

Why do we shake in the cold, naked and stoned

And how that every time we choose

Something has to break in the fall and I pay for it all

Why do we shake in the cold?

So, teach me how to swim, before I learn to fly

Oh, I feel it on my skin, so hold me till I dry

Why do we shake in the cold?

Elderbrook explained this song in his video documentary published on the 11th of August 2020 by saying, "The idea is we shake in the cold evolutionary speaking to let the people know that we need them close, that we need them close by to huddle together and warm up which kind of is a metaphor for if you're sad you show it you show people you're sad as kind of a way of asking for help."

Two young men are brought together in a series of repeating loops, in Czech director Jára Moravec's video for Elderbrook's Why Do We Shake In The Cold? The two friends - played by dancers Antonín Ničovský and Daniel Vitešník - stumble around the palatial location in a state of wonder, transitioning into distorted choreography and glitchy movements. Completely mesmerising, the use of a drone-mounted 360 degree camera makes for hypnotic and mind-bending shots, elevating the otherworldly nature of the concept and blurring the boundary between reality and fiction. JÁRA MORAVEC: "Delirium induced fata morgana brings together two lone friends. Constantly piercing through their bubbles, they seem stuck in ever repeating loops - Elderbrook's new video is a timely reminder of invisible habits and patterns that form our decisions and affect our lives."

[Breaking-News] NBA YoungBoy Release His Biggest Album Top This Friday ! Its Confirmed

YoungBoy Never Broke Again is set to deliver his new task TOP on September 11. Youngboy Never Broke Again came back to the head of the Rolling Stone Artists 500 graph for the seven day stretch of April 24th through April 30th. 

The rapper is a streaming most loved and a customary nearness in the main 10 of the diagram, and he pulled in 129.5 million melody streams this week following the arrival of his new mixtape 38 Baby 2. The task appeared on the RS Top 200 Albums diagram, moving 63,100 collection units on account of 71.8 million tune streams. 

Drake came in directly behind Youngboy Never Broke Again, holding the Number Two spot with 104.9 million tune streams as his most recent single, "Toosie Slide" arrived at Number Five on the RS100 with 18.3 million streams. (The unexpected arrival of the Dark Lane Demo Tapes last Friday should enable the rapper to pull in huge numbers over the significant diagrams one week from now). Also, a week ago's Artists 500 graph clincher, Da Baby, tumbled to Number Three as he got 95.2 million streams and his most recent delivery, Blame It On Baby, arrived at Number Two on the RS200, moving 54,600 collection units. 

The forthcoming record follows April 2020's 38 Baby 2 and is his initially arranged venture after singles, for example, "passing enclaimed," "sticks with me," "ALL IN" and "Kacey Talk." It's indistinct whether these deliveries will be remembered for the record, yet YoungBoy confirmed that 18 tracks will be incorporated. 

Kentrell DeSean Gaulden (conceived October 20, 1999), referred to expertly as YoungBoy Never Broke Again[2][3] (otherwise called NBA YoungBoy[a] or just YoungBoy), is an American rapper, artist, and lyricist. Somewhere in the range of 2015 and 2017, Gaulden delivered eight free mixtapes, and consistently earned a faction finishing his work. In late 2017, Gaulden was marked to Atlantic Records, whom appropriated two extra mixtapes before delivering his most noteworthy graphing solo single, "Outside Today" in January 2018, which crested at number 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.[4] The melody was the lead single for his presentation studio collection Until Death Call My Name, delivered in April of that year. 

His subsequent singles incorporate "Significant Pain", "Ooze Belief", and "Genie". In 2019, he delivered AI YoungBoy 2, which turned into his first diagram clincher, cresting at number one on the Billboard 200 in 2019.[5], and incorporates the singles "Restraint", "Ooze Mentality" and "Have neither rhyme nor reason". Gaulden likewise worked with late rapper Juice Wrld on "Desperado", which crested at number ten on the Billboard Hot 100, turning into his most elevated diagramming single and his first top ten melody. 

[6] In April 2020, NBA YoungBoy delivered his sixteenth mixtape 38 Baby 2, appearing at number one on the Billboard 200. His second studio collection, Top, will be delivered on September 11, 2020, and is gone before by different singles, including "Kacey Talk". NBA Youngboy is known for his consistency of delivering music routinely. 

As per reports, the Baton Rouge was evidently in a battle against his mark around the time 38 Baby 2 dropped, constraining him to guarantee that he won't be delivering anything until he was in a "superior circumstance." He openly connected with his name and requested his lords in return for four new collections, yet was sadly turned down. 

NBA YoungBoy's TOP drops September 11. 

Somewhere else in music, stream Nas' thirteenth studio collection King's Disease now.

Is Marilyn Manson Release His Upcoming Album In This Friday ? Check Here Now

 In a piece of good news for Marilyn Manson fans, the shock rock legend is all set to release his 11th studio album 'We Are Chaos' on September 11. This will be his first full-fledged project since 2017's 'Heaven Upside Down'.

The 51-year-old singer-songwriter had first announced the album on his official Twitter account in late July along with the announcement of the title track with the same name. He had tweeted, “WE ARE CHAOS Video directed, photographed & edited by Matt Mahurin From Marilyn Manson’s new album, WE ARE CHAOS. Everywhere September 11 along with links to stream and ore-order the album. 

Brian Hugh Warner (born January 5, 1969), known professionally as Marilyn Manson, is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, actor, visual artist, music video director, and former music journalist. He is known for his controversial stage personality and image as the lead singer of the band of the same name, which he co-founded with guitarist Daisy Berkowitz in 1989 and of which he remains the only constant member. Like the other founding members of the band, his stage name was formed by combining and juxtaposing the names of two opposing American cultural icons: a sex symbol and a serial killer; in Manson's case, actress Marilyn Monroe and criminal Charles Manson.


Manson is best known for music released in the 1990s, most notably the albums Portrait of an American Family (1994), Antichrist Superstar (1996) and Mechanical Animals (1998) which earned him a reputation in mainstream media as a controversial figure and negative influence on young people when combined with his public image.[1][2] In the U.S. alone, three of the band's albums have been awarded platinum status and three more went gold, and the band has had eight releases debut in the top 10, including two No. 1 albums. Manson has been ranked at No. 44 on the list of the "Top 100 Heavy Metal Vocalists" by Hit Parader and, along with his band, has been nominated for four Grammy Awards.

Manson made his film debut as an actor in David Lynch's Lost Highway (1997), and has since appeared in a variety of minor roles and cameos. He was interviewed in Michael Moore's political documentary about gun violence, Bowling for Columbine, discussing possible motivations for the 1999 Columbine massacre, after media speculation that the shooters were avid fans of Manson's music; he denied allegations that his music was a contributory factor. In September 2002, his first art show, The Golden Age of Grotesque, was held at the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions center. At a 2010 exhibition at Kunsthalle gallery in Vienna, he unveiled Genealogies of Pain, a series of 20 paintings on which he collaborated with Lynch.[3]

[News-Update] NBA YoungBoy Share The Release Date of His New Album ! Deet Inside

38 Baby 2 is YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s second No. 1 on the Billboard 200. He first reached the summit less than a year ago with AI YoungBoy 2, and he’s come close to adding to that total more than once. He now claims four top 10 efforts in under two years, and that’s to say nothing of his total discography, which now includes nine top 40-charters.

Since 38 Baby 2 arrived with little warning, YoungBoy Never Broke Again hasn’t pushed any of the songs featured on the set to the Hot 100 just yet, though that’s likely to change. Since his stream count was so high, it wouldn’t be odd to see several cuts from the project land on the all-encompassing tally, especially since Still Flexin, Still Steppin produced at least eight charting tracks.

38 Baby 2 serves as something of a sequel to the rapper’s 2016 mixtape 38 Baby. That title didn’t chart on the Billboard 200, but it did help establish him as one of the most exciting new names in the hip-hop field. Now, just four years after the first release in the series appeared, the second is the most popular title in the country.

YoungBoy Never Broke Again is set to release his new project TOP on September 11.


The upcoming record follows April 2020’s 38 Baby 2 and is his first compiled project after singles such as “death enclaimed,” “sticks with me,” “ALL IN” and “Kacey Talk.” It’s unclear whether these releases will be included in the record, but YoungBoy did confirm that 18 tracks will be included.

According to reports, the Baton Rouge was supposedly in a fight against his label around the time 38 Baby 2 dropped, forcing him to claim that he won’t be releasing anything until he was in a “better situation.” He publicly reached out to his label and asked for his masters in exchange for four new albums, but was unfortunately turned down.

NBA YoungBoy’s TOP drops September 11.

Elsewhere in music, stream Nas’ 13th studio album King’s Disease now.

The artist formerly known as NBA Youngboy hasn't wasted a moment since breaking through with "Untouchable" in 2017 on the heels of two years of popular mixtapes. His 2017 Al Youngboy album lifted the Louisiana rapper's career to a new level while his studio debut, the platinum-selling Until Death Call My Name (2018), helped cement his flow as one to watch thanks to hard-hitting songs such as "Outside Today" and "Diamond Teeth Samurai."

The discography of American rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again (also known as NBA YoungBoy) consists of 1 studio album, 1 compilation album, 16 mixtapes, 2 collaborative mixtapes, 3 extended plays, 13 singles (including 3 as a featured artist) and 5promotional singles.

Rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again surprised his dedicated legion of fans a short time ago by revealing he had a new album ready, and he dropped it on April 24 as excitement was still high. While he has always been known for his especially prolific output, it’s somewhat shocking that the musician had a new full-length prepared, as he debuted his mixtape Still Flexin, Still Steppin at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 back in February of this year. Now, he’s reached even higher, proving that there is an insatiable appetite for his art.

The rapper’s new project 38 Baby 2 opens at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The set starts with 67,000 equivalent units, and of that sum, 4,000 are pure sales, as most fans decided to stream the 17-song title. The title racked up 96.9 million streams in its first seven days of availability

What !! Tekashi 6ix9ine And Lil Durk Both Release There Album On Same Day ? Deet Inside

 After being accused of offering Lil Durk a whopping $3 million to engage in a troll battle for album promo, Tekashi 6ix9ine has found a new way to raise awareness for his upcoming Tattle Tales album.

Which means collaborating with the ostracized Canadian singer Tory Lanez, who has been keeping relatively quiet after Megan Thee Stallion alleged he shot her in both of her feet.

Despite Megan’s confession, the LAPD is said to still be investigating the charges that could be pursued.

In standard fashion, the rollout behind Tekashi’s upcoming second studio album has been layered with sensationalism. After seeing his Nicki Minaj-assisted single “TROLLZ” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June, he officially announced the project’s existence earlier this week in Chicago. In doing so, he went the distance to antagonize locally-bred rappers Lil Durk, Lil Reese and others by pouring out liquor in their hoods and repeatedly referencing Durk’s slain cousin.

For his part, Durk has announced an album of his own — The Voice — to be released opposite Tattle Tales on September 4.

“I got this old Tory record that he cleared for me in 2017,” Tekashi teased in his Instagram Story on Sunday (August 30). “IM WRONG IF I PUT IT ON MY ALBUM??? It’s already cleared and IT’S A FUCKIN HIT.”

The rainbow-haired rapper also included a poll for his 24.3 million followers to vote on.

6ix9ine's newly released singles, "Trollz," "Punani" and "Gooba," will likely land on his new album. His part two to Akon's "Locked Up" will be on the LP as well. Earlier this month, the Konvict Muzik founder confirmed the track will appear on Tekashi's album. 6ix9ine's team confirmed to XXL that the song will be on his upcoming effort as well.

"That's not going on my album, but it's going on his [6ix9ine's] album," Akon said. "It was more for him to tell his story, and I thought it was super important, because most people never really been locked up, so it was funny to read some of them comments. If they ever been in the facility or ever been locked up somehow, they would know that the jails are filled and more populated with snitches than it is with regular people and than people who committed normal crime."

TattleTales will be the second studio album to be released by the Brooklyn native. Dummy Boy, his first LP, was released on Nov. 27, 2018, eight days after he was arrested for his involvement with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.

On April 2 of this year, 6ix9ine was released from prison to serve the last four months of his sentence for federal racketeering and firearms charges on home confinement. He was officially freed from home confinement on Aug. 2.

The rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, made the announcement about the upcoming album, "Tattle Tales" on his Instagram account.

It's the first album from 6ix9ine since bing released from prison this spring. He was allowed to continue the rest of his two-year sentence at home after being released amid the coronavirus pandemic.

He was sentenced in 2019 on charges related to gang activity in New York, but received a reduced sentence after cooperating with federal investigators and informing on his former gang associates.

In May he dropped a song and music video for, "GOOBA."

He is best known for his 2017 debut single "Gummo," which peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100, and his collaboration with Nicki Minaj on his 2018 song "FEFE."

Tekashi 6ix9ine is bringing his fans new music.

The rapper, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, made the announcement about the upcoming album, "Tattle Tales" on his Instagram account.

The rapper made the announcement on Instagram while walking in an ally in Chicago that his new album is called “Tattle Tales,” and will be out on September 4th. It appears he is making light of the situation being that he snitched a lot of people out in order to receive a light prison sentence.

Love him or hate him but he came back strong since being released from prison earlier this year. We’re looking forward to his new album!

2020 Is Lil Durk Release His Next Album In this Week ? Deet Inside

 The Voice is Chicago rappers Lil Durk’ sixth studio album, set to be released on September 4, 2020. It follows his May 2020 album, Just Cause Y'all Waited 2, which also received a deluxe version the following month, in June 2020.

Durk announced the album on Instagram on August 28, 2020. 

Lil Durk was born on October 19, 1992. Lil Durk had to shoulder much responsibility at a very young age because his father was incarcerated when he was 7 months old.[7] Lil Durk recalled that there were times when he did not have enough food in his home when he was younger. He started his first break through social media channels like Myspace and YouTube.[8] 

He became more fond of the idea of being a rapper once his online fan base started to grow more rapidly than expected. Lil Durk took his career more seriously after becoming a father at 17 and dropping out from high school.[9][9] Lil Durk attended a Southside high-school by the name of Paul Robeson High School, ultimately dropping out his senior year to be a part of the gang war in Chicago. Lil Durk joined the Black Disciples after dropping out of high school.[8] Soon after joining he began to get into trouble with the law as well as served a bit of time. 

In October 2011, he was hit with gun charges, including possession of a firearm with a defaced serial number.[10] He later pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of aggravated unauthorized use of a weapon, according to court records.[10] In 2013, Lil Durk was arrested again with a loaded .50 caliber handgun in Englewood on an early Wednesday morning after he threw the gun into his vehicle and locking it afterwards.[11] Chicago Police gained a warrant to search the vehicle, found the loaded handgun, and arrested the rapper without incident.

Career and rise to popularity

In 2011, Banks would start taking music seriously. After plans to sign with Chief Keef and French Montana's labels fell through,[12] he considered rapping as "a full-time career" after the releases of his two singles, "Sneak Dissin'" and "I'ma Hitta", each of which received generally positive feedback.[13] On October 19, 2012, Durk released his third mixtape, Life Ain't No Joke. As of September 22, 2015, the mixtape has been downloaded over 216,000 times on DatPiff.[14] In December 2012, Durk released the track, called "L's Anthem", which was remixed, featuring French Montana, as a re-release.[15]

2013–2015: Signing to OTF and Def Jam Recordings and Signed to the Streets Main articles: Signed to the Streets and Signed to the Streets 2

Due to the popularity of "L's Anthem" and its follow-up single, "Dis Ain't What U Want" in 2013, Durk accepted a joint venture deal with his collective Only the Family and Def Jam Recordings.[16]

After a small number of delays, Durk's fourth mixtape Signed to the Streets was released on October 14, 2013, exclusively on DatPiff. It features two guest appearances from former Glo Gang affiliate Lil Reese, along with production credits from Paris Bueller and Young Chop, among others.[17] 

Eight music videos were released to promote the mixtape: "Bars Pt. 2", "Oh My God", "100 Rounds", "Dis Ain't What U Want", "Bang Bros", "Traumatized", "Hittaz" and "Times". Signed to the Streets would later be named the eighth best mixtape of 2013 by Rolling Stone.[18] On October 22, 2013, in an interview with XXL, Lil Durk said he was working on his debut album under Def Jam.[19][20] Also, Durk was named part of the 2014 XXL Freshmen Class.[21]
