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.
