If you haven't noticed by now, Chance The Rapper has been releasing random songs exclusively on his Instagram page for about the past week or so, one of which featured Daniel Caesar. Today, for his 8th release, the Chicago artist decides to dig into the vault and call on a couple superstar friends to assist him, that being Lil Wayne and Young Thug.

Unfortunately there’s no song title or information about the record, other than its “Instagram song 8,” but I wouldn't be surprised if these releases are part of some bigger project. Either way, this song is pretty fire to say the least. Over some sampled, clapping production, Chance boasts about his walk-in closet & women, while Wayne switches up his flow and spits his signature metaphoric bars, referencing his side chick in the process. “My main bitch say she feelin' secondary/ Love, you worry 'bout yourself and not the other bitch I'm tellin’,” Tunechi raps.
Thugger on the other hand handles the 3rd verse and raps about his diamonds, fashion, and bitches. “Put my thumb in her butt, so I guess she got ice on her shit,” Thugger raps.
Take a listen to surprise collab and let us know what you think. Who had the best verse?
View this post on InstagramDoja Cat Teases Collab With Artist Whose Verse Made Her “Scream"
Doja Cat told her fans that she has a new song coming out with a mystery artist whose verse was so good it made her "scream."
Doja Cat was so impressed the first time she heard her new collaboration that the other artist's verse actually made her scream. During an Instagram live recently, Doja decided to share some exciting news about a new song she has coming out soon with a mystery artist that she knows her fans are fond of. Perpetually incapable of being serious, the hilarious rapper made fart noises with her tongue between every other word while she made the announcement.
"Hey. So guess what?" she began, pausing every second or so to produce the silly sound effect. "Guess what’s going on? Check this out. I am gonna be doing a really cool song with somebody that you guys really like." While she provided her fans with virtually no clues to indicate who she might be referring to other than the fact that most of them "really like" this artist, she did go on to praise their undeniable talent. In fact, this cryptic collaborator's verse for their track was so good, it caused Doja physical pain. "When I heard the verse, I was screaming really loud," she revealed. "My throat hurt so bad.”

While this could still describe anyone with even an ounce of talent, many fans in the replies of the reposted video were hoping for Nicki Minaj. However, Doja has had a complicated history with Nick's stans, also known as Barbz. Despite praising her fellow MC on multiple occasions and insisting that she is "the biggest Nicki Minaj fan," the Barbz invented this notion that Doja feels differently. If a Doja Cat x Nicki Minaj song were to come out, it'd be sure to throw the Barbz for a loop.
Who do you think (or hope) Doja is collaborating with?
Dwyane Wade Laughs Off Offset’s Song Request
Offset wants to make a song with Dwyane Wade but, judging on the basketball legend’s response, we’re not sure if he’s down.
Dwyane Wade has a lot of extra time on his hands these days, enjoying his post-basketball career by dabbling into the world of music. Wade was featured on a new song by Rick Ross, another Miami legend, but it’s not looking likely for the hooper to make a full-time transition to the mic.
Basketball and rap have gone hand-in-hand for years, with stars like Shaq, Kobe Bryant, Lonzo Ball, Damian Lillard, and others all making cases for themselves as straight-up rappers. Perhaps Lillard, known professionally as Dame D.O.L.L.A, has had the best career outside of sports, but that doesn’t mean that his peers can’t give rhyming a try either.
Kevin Winter/Getty ImagesWith the current coronavirus pandemic disallowing us from leaving the house, Dwyane Wade has ample time to write some bars for future rap records. Migos rapper Offset was speaking at a recent conference (before social distancing became a thing) and he noted that he would be stoked to get in the studio with the star. However, Wade’s response doesn’t exactly echo that sentiment.
“I can’t wait to do it,” said Set about collaborating with a basketball player like Dwyane Wade on a song. “Let’s get in there Wade! I can’t wait to have that be part of my career. I got a song with DWade?”
Commenting on the video, which was re-posted by media outlet SOHH, Wade dropped some laughter emojis, which could mean that he’s not taking the invitation too seriously. Would you want to hear this collaboration?
Matt Ox Says He Turned Down Drake’s $150,000 Offer To Buy His Song
Matt Ox says OB O’Brien hit him up to buy his song “Messages.”
According to Matt Ox, Drake was apparently interested in buying one of his songs a couple years ago, but the 16-year old rapper said he wasn’t having it. In a recent interview with No Jumper, Matt told Adam22 that Drizzy wanted to buy his song “Messages” for $150,000 dollars, but he didn’t believe it.
“Drake tried to buy my song first,” Matt says looking rather disheveled and lets say tired in the clip. “Messages,” he replies to Adam when asked which one Drizzy wanted. “He was tryna pay us $150 thousand bro,” Matt Ox said while adding that Drizzy wanted to keep the song from coming out. “I said no,” he repeated. When asked if he was directly in talks with Drake, Matt Ox said no, and that OB O’Brien from the OVO camp hit him up.
While Matt says he didn’t go through with it because he lowkey thought it was fake, Adam too reiterated that it could’ve been a scammer, to which Matt agreed & believed. However, Matt and Drake do share a common interest in producer Oogie Mane, of Working On Dying, who produced Drizzy’s Scorpion hit “I’m Upset,” so the two worlds coming together isn’t as crazy as it sounds.
Later, Matt said he was down to do a song with Drake in the future, but then again that’s just common sense for any up coming artist really. Check out the uninspiring chat (below) and let us know what you think. Is Matt Ox out of his mind here or do you think Drizzy really wanted his song?
Fake Travis Scott Song Created Entirely By A.I.
Machine one, man zero: a startlingly accurate Travis Scott song has been created by a new A.I. deepfake program.
Fears of a machine-governed society have long been the projections of science fiction authors worldwide. The sick thing, of course, being that a machine uprising would be our own doing, what with humanity’s fascination with perfecting artificial intelligence. First, it began with delivery gigs. Then it continued into retail. As jobs dwindled by the day, they said it would never infiltrate the creative arts. How wrong they were. They all laughed at a disturbingly convincing Joe Rogan deep fake, despite cries of “what is the point of this technology?!” But it’s worse than we ever imagined: the downfall of humanity is set to be scored by a machine-generated Travis Scott A.I. bot.

The program, as developed by tech company space150, is a bot designed with the sole purpose of mirroring the musical stylings of Travis Scott. To contextualize the decision, Hypebeast pulled a quote from Ned Lampert, space150’s creative director: “‘What if we tried to make a song – like an actual good song – by using AI and basically creative directing AI?’”
And so began the process of creating the Scott bot. Utilizing the words and music prevalent throughout Scott’s discography as a reference, the experiments resulted in an original single called “Jack Park Canny Dope Man.” Though the lyrics remain largely nonsensical the melodies are similar enough to convince an unfamiliar audience. Especially when paired with an on-brand visual aesthetic, also conceived through deep fake technology. Impressive, space150, most impressive. There aren’t enough basins in the world to amass all the drool from wide-eyed record label executives.
Nicki Minaj Confesses Which Songs She Wishes She’d Never Recorded
Nicki has some regrets about her discography.
Nicki Minaj has had her hands full lately. After flying under the radar for the last little while, the rap queen is back in the public eye in full force, in the best and worst ways. On Wednesday, Nicki got involved in her most recent newsworthy event, when she and ex-boyfriend Meek Mill engaged in a nasty back-and-forth on Twitter, which brought up some serious accusations of domestic violence and child sexual abuse cover-ups. The whole ordeal shocked the Internet, and it all took place the same day that Nicki attended the Pollstar Live Conference. During a Q&A session with the audience, Nicki spilled about how she wished she'd been asked to spit on Beyoncé's "Sorry" and that "Yikes," the song she previewed on Instagram that includes a controversial Rosa Parks lyric, will not be her next official single. While Nicki is gearing up to put out new music, she did confess to having a few regrets when it comes to her old material.

While she notes that she still loves the visuals that accompanied some of these tracks, Nicki reveals that she wishes she'd never recorded a few of her biggest hits. "...So much of my discography. I wish I'd never recorded 'Anaconda,'" she said. "I like the video but *ugh.* I wish—my first ever solo song on Billboard was "Your Love." To this day I hate that—I love the video but I hate the song. I could go on and on. I hate "Starships." I mean, like, yo, "Starships"? Like, why did I do that? I really think that every time I hear it." The crowd laughs along with her, but many fans would probably disagree with at least one of these answers.
