Artist: DJ Khaled

Nicki Minaj , booty-clapper and occasional rapper, was recently called on to add a verse to Busta Rhymes ' poetic new single  "#Twerkit" . It wasn't particularly good  (not that the song was great to start with) but at least she has an excuse. In behind-the-scenes footage, the scheduled BET performer  reveals that she only had one day to record her vocal – and shoot the video. We see the tracksuit-clad femcee doing her thing in the studio before shooting the breeze with  DJ Khaled . The pair reunite on set the following day, where Nicki shakes her [...]

DJ Khaled's new posse cut single " No New Friends " reconstructs the lineup of Khaled's great 2011 single " I'm On One ," and like that song, it's pretty much a Drake track with a couple of guests on it. Drake also co-directed the new "No New Friends" video along with Colin Tilley , and the clip takes place in 1996, paying homage to Southern rap's early baroque period. Really, with its helicopter and stretch Hummer and new-money ostentation, the video is a tribute to peak-era No Limit as much as it is to its crosstown rival Cash [...]

DJ Khaled has revealed a rather retro, MTV Cribs -inspired clip for this collab track 'No New Friends'. The video features Drake , Lil Wayne and Rick Ross , all who contribute a verse the track, and sees brick-sized mobile phones, golf carts and helicopters galore. Watch all that in full below: [via FACT ]

Drake has the ability to coin terminology that will annoy masses for the year , the evidence can be found throughout his discography. This year alone I've been sickened by everyone's lack of new friends, and starting from the bottom.   Hopefully the " No New Friends " visual rendition won't be allured by fellow "follow what Drake's doing' rappers  into crafting unappealing analog VHS quality music videos. They wanted to take things literally back to 1995, insignificant since the song is entitled "No New Friends", with a 1995 setting, and a group of people that only been acquainted since sometime in the early [...]

DJ Khaled - No New Friends ft. Drake, Rick Ross & Lil Wayne

drake-no-new-friends-bath.jpg The Colin Tiley & Drake-directed movie for "No New Friends" shows our heroes in grainy VHS quality footage dated from 1996, enjoying similar antics and lifestyles as they do today in 2013. DJ Khaled has a big cell phone , then in present day he has Monster DNA headphones???? How much do you think he got paid not to have Beats? Or does he just have reserves for any bitches that might come through? Birmdan has been rubbing his hands for decades, Lil Wayne has always had Trukfit. [...]

The new set of visuals from DJ Khaled, Drake, Rick Ross, and Lil Wayne plays out like a home video circa 1996, and it's as amazing as it sounds. Grainy footage: check. Slow-mo everything: check. Drake in all of his chains, even when he's in the house: check. Large hoards of women: check. Dada outfit: [...]

DJ Khaled has dropped his new video for "No New Friends," off his seventh album Suffering from Success . Filmed partially as if through the lens of a camcorder -think Lana Del Rey 's "National Anthem" video - and timestamped, "May 15, 1996," the Colin Tilley -directed video shows that while technology has evolved, displays of hip-hop opulence are (apparently) timeless. Mansion with a pool and hot tub? Check. Product placement? Check. Bored dancing girls? Check. While Drake repeats the hook ad nauseum , he does take the wheel [...]

Here's the '90s-celebrating video for DJ Khaled's "No New Friends," ripped from MTV Jams by Mr. World Premiere. Directed by Colin Tilley and meant to resemble vintage Cash Money clips, it stars Drake's already infamous ... read more �

Excuse My French drops May 21st. DOWNLOAD: French Montana Ft. Snoop Dogg, Ace Hood, Scarface, Mavado & DJ Khaled – Fuck What Happens Tonight The post French Montana Ft. Snoop Dogg, Ace Hood, Scarface, Mavado & DJ Khaled – Fuck What Happens Tonight appeared first on Traps N Trunks // Hood Certified Gangsta Music Added Daily! .

Excuse Deen's reserved praise. I pay French Montana way too much attention. I insist that I don't fancy the bulk of his music, but somehow, someway, I write some shit about every other single he drops. Then again, it's not my fault that the man is so active lately. He's going to drop his debut solo (and I use the word "solo" very loosely) album later this month, so the single/promo blitz is in full effect. I pay attention to these things, ergo I pay attention to [...]

When the eyes read the words "Orchestrated by DJ Khaled," the mind already knows what to expect. At least, we thought we knew. Even though the cast of characters includes a few of Khaled's current regulars - Ace Hood, Mavado - the biggest twists for French Montana's "F*ck What Happen Tonight" would be the inclusion of Snoop Dogg and triple OG Scarface. Mavado belts out a powerful chorus and all the listed artists hold up their end up the bargain. Bringing up the rear, Scarface returns with a graphic, bloodthirsty gem of a verse, the [...]

French Montana continues to reinvent wheel with his usual recording buddies and, surprisingly, Scarface and Snoop Dogg. Excuse My French drops on the 21st. French Montana Ft. Snoop Dogg, Ace Hood, Scarface, Mavado & DJ Khaled - "F*ck What Happen Tonight" Cred: Flex

If you haven't ever had the pleasure of such an experience (and if that's the case, what's wrong with you?), we've got a few fellas here who'd love to describe what it feels like. Featuring the likes of Meek Mill , T.I. , Wiz Khalifa , Birdman , French [...]

Ace Hood had a hit on his hands with "Bugatti," thanks in a large part to Future delivering that beast of a chorus. Ace is going to make the most of this hit. Deciding that Future wasn't enough, Ace brought a few shitload of friends, including DJ Khaled to make sure you know that THIS [...]
