The “Feature Friday” edition for this week is a freestyle from Nicki Minaj called “Higher Than A Kite” featuring a verse from her Young Money boss Lil Wayne.

This Jerry Duplessis, Sedeck Jean and Lil Wonda-co-produced song is a recording over T.I. and Wyclef Jean’s “My Swag” for the Barbie‘s mixtape, Sucka Free, which was released back in 2008.

“I do what I does, I come through this bitch wrist bluer than ‘cuz’; I’m so 5 Star, soo woo to the Bloods; And before I had a mirror, I knew who I was”

You can watch a “Higher Than A Kite” music video that was directed by Jordan Tower below. Click here to watch a documentary that also shows Nicki and Wayne recording their verses for this track!

A new Lil Wayne song surfaced online over the weekend called “Let’s Ride” featuring Sean Kingston.

The track was recorded back in 2008 for Tunechi and Mick Boogie‘s mixtape titled Hello Brooklyn, which obviously never ended up being released.

As “Let’s Ride” is the same beat as The Notorious B.I.G. and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s collaboration of the same name, the whole point of the Hello Brooklyn tape was for Weezy to rap over old New York rapper beats!

A couple of days ago, a lot of the songs (20 in total) from Lil Wayne‘s original Tha Carter V album surfaced online. I was not going to make an article about this, but too many people are hitting me up asking about it, so I’ve decided to do what I did when the Velvet Sessions project leaked online.

Due to copyright laws, I cannot post the tracks on this website, but for those who have heard the music, I will list what has changed on each record. If you recall back to 2014, CV was originally due to drop back then, but with the long lawsuit against Birdman and Cash Money Records, Wayne ended up re-recording the album and releasing it in 2018.

The full versions of “Mute” featuring a dope verse from Big Sean and “No Brainer” featuring a dope verse from Flow are also included in this new leak. I always tell people that Tunechi‘s best music in my personal opinion seems to be more his leaked music over official releases and hearing songs like “Life Of Mr. Carter“, “Scottie Pippen” and the hilarious “Form Good” confirms this statement even more for me.

You can check out exactly which tracks leaked from the original Tha Carter 5 project below! From the tentative tracklist we received in 2014, this now just leaves “Start This Shit Off Right” with Christina Milian and Mannie Fresh, “She Said Better Get ‘Em“, “Grindin” with Jeezy and Young Thug, “Brad Pitt” with B.o.B, “Mano Y Mano” with Gudda Gudda, and “Murda” with Flow as unreleased. If you have heard the OG C5 album, how did you like it and did you prefer it more than the official version we got nearly a year ago?

Kirko Bangz recently sat down with Ashlee On-Air from 93.7 The Beat for an interview that you can watch in full below.

Around the 7:30 mark, Kirko was asked what he thinks about all of the “Top 50 Rappers” lists on social media to which he started to talk about how either Lil Wayne and Eminem would be #1 on his list, due to growing up on their music, as well as why it would not be JAY-Z or Nas.

The Houston rapper then mentioned he got into Tunechi‘s music from his mixtapes before revealing what his favorite tape and freestyle from Tune is. Before switching subjects, Bangz also discussed how Weezy would get on anyone’s beat and kill it!
