ICYMI: FMHipHop New Music Roundup

It’s Monday and I hope you caught up on the new music that dropped over the weekend.  If you haven’t, don’t worry, FMHipHop has you covered!

Tee Grizzley-Chapters of the Trenches

Chapters of the Trenches is the second project of 2022 for the Detroit rapper.  The best thing about this new tape is that it is actually a visual album as well.  The reason for Tee Grizzley to take this new approach when dropping a project is because of the fans.  After dropping his song “Robbery”, the fans wanted more and now he is all the way up to part 5.  The song is inspired by true events.  Grizzley feels the art of storytelling in a song gives the listeners a better experience, something they can hold on to.

Mavi-Laughing So Hard It Hurts

Mavi is back after two years with Laughing So Hard It Hurts.  He has been busy in the meantime.  He was featured on songs with the likes of Earl Sweatshirt and The Alchemist.  And he also spent time opening for BabyFace Ray and Jack Harlow on Jack Harlow’s Crème De La Crème Tour.  Mavi describes this project as a gentle album.  He applauds himself on being vulnerable on the 16-track album and his fans will get the real him.

Central Cee-No More Leak

UK rapper Central Cee has dropped a new EP.  No More Leaks has four songs on it as this project comes as a surprise for fans.  He has already released a video for the single, “One Up”.  This year has been a whirlwind for the UK rapper.  He released his mixtape, 23, which instantly became number one.  After that, Central Cee went to the infamous L.A. Leakers platform where his freestyle went viral.  To top it off, he dropped his biggest hit of his career so far with “Doja”.  It’s safe to say he know what his fans want.  According to Central Cee, this new EP is called No More Leaks because the songs were actually leaked and promises his fans this won’t happen again.

All projects are on streaming platforms now!

GTA RP is a popular online roleplaying life simulation server based on the classic video game Grand Theft Auto V. Chicago rapper Lil Durk started his own GTA server called The Trenches through his website & OTF brand. A mural for one of his fallen contemporaries King Von can be seen in the game to honor the viral Chicago icon. Von, unfortunately, passed away in the middle of a physical altercation with Quando Rando at an Atlanta nightclub years ago. While being a good brand move, it’s dope to see Lil Durk show love to Von in his new GTA server. Take a look at the game itself below:

 

Durk’s GTA Online RP Server “The Trenches”

The reporter Jake Lucky announced Durk’s GTA server just a week ago on Twitter. Many fans of the Rockstar Games hit series have grown to enjoy the GTA RP servers more than GTA V. In addition to the news, it’s also been revealed that the game’s radio stations will feature music from rising & established talents in the industry. Tons of artists would love the opportunity to feature in a gaming project headed by one of the biggest stars in Rap. The Trenches server is now available to try & will make the wait for GTA VI from Rockstar even easier.

Another GTA Server Featuring The Von Mural

Lil Durk’s not the only rapper with his GTA RP server online. Tee Grizzley’s Grizzley World is another one of these popular servers in the gaming community. Additionally, Tee Grizzley’s server also happens to feature the same King Von mural as the one in Durk’s The Trenches. Will you be trying out either of these rappers’ highly praised videogame endeavors? And if you have, which of the servers do you prefer between the two of theirs?

Tee Grizzley Is Getting Big Bucks From Gaming

Tee Grizzley

Tee Grizzley has been making headlines lately for his private Grand Theft Auto Online server. Grizzley Gang Gaming is receiving a surge in attention but has been on a consistent rise since it’s launch. The rapper’s private server is called is a virtual hub where players engage in Grand Theft Auto Role Play. The Detroit-based artist has hosted several major streamers in gaming; as well as fellow rappers. The streams are a semi-scripted storyline format that simulates life in the trenches without the risk. “I created a Grand Theft Auto [role playing ] server called Grizzley World. It represents the trenches. (Grizzley World) let’s you be in the streets without being in the streets” stated Grizzley in a recent interview.

 

The Official Grizzley Gang YouTube page is just under 500,000 subscribers and recently signed a lucrative deal with lifestyle gaming brand XSET in April.

 

Grizzley Gang Joins XSET

In April 2022, Tee Grizzley signed a deal with premiere lifestlye gaming brand XSET. XSET is an organization that specializes in providing a second chance for ex-convicts through online gaming.

PR Newswire Quote From XSET CBDO and co-founder Clinton Sparks:

“XSET is about pushing boundaries and redefining the world of gaming. We are excited to welcome Tee Grizzley to the set to help give a second chance to those who need one, as well as continuing to introduce gaming to those unfamiliar with the opportunities it provides. XSET is building the worlds greatest culture club and Tee with his music, gaming and entrepreneurial spirit is an amazing representation of what that means.”

The partnership will allow Tee Grizzley to expand the subscription-based Grizzley World to the next level. “I’m excited to join XSET and take Grizzley Gang Gaming to the next level. I’ve always loved gaming for fun, but now it’s so much more than that. I’ve seen how this industry can really change lives and I can’t wait to provide more opportunities for people who have faced similar challenges and adversities as I have”, stated Grizzley according to PR Newswire.

Million Dollaz Worth Of Game Podcast Interview

During a recent interview with Wallo and Gillie The Kid, the “First Day Out” creator elaborated on thelucrative business of video game streaming and how he monetized his platform:

“I get paid from the server because it’s membership-based and we have nearly 90,000 members. I stream it on Twitch and get paid from them. Then I take the Twitch videos I streamed and put them on YouTubeto get paid on there too. Plus, there are sponsorships, ads, and all this s**t (to) get paid from too”, Tee told the hosts.

Additionally, he revealed that other members on the Grizzley World server get paid for playing also. This is a major step for diversifying the landscape of video game streaming. Video game streaming and hip hop may seem like an odd pairing, but this isn’t a new trend. Pro gamer Ninja has played Fortnite with Drake, which Drizzy used as promo for “God’s Plan”. Meanwhile, polarizing streamer Adin Ross has hosted Polo G, Blueface, Lil Yachty and many more. Hip Hop’s influence continues to innovate across mediums.

Tee Grizzley and Meek Mill Spit Jail Bars For “First Day Out” Remix

Hope every one weekend went well. Welcome back FM Trendsetters!  Yesterday, the upcoming rapper from Detroit, Tee Grizzley dropped a highly anticipated remix of his overnight success banger “First Day Out“.   The remix features a rapper from Philadelphia whom we all hope get to his “First Day Out“, especially after all the foul and alleged crooked business dealing with the Defense Attorney and Judge on his case.  But despite the madness and jail time, that did not stop the bars and rhymes of Philly’s own Meek Mill.  The song still gives off that vibe of when you first come out the Feds (Federal Prison for the street illiterate).  “Fresh out ain’t nothing to go baaaaack” (Comedian Mr. Commodore’s Voice). I swear this is perfect music to put on your iPod when you hitting some sets on the bench, lifting barbells, or push ups.  “N****z praying on my downfall” chanting  in your ear as you achieve maximum goals.  This track is still motivation for the streets.  With Meek Mill on the track, just adds more inspiration.

#FMTrends: Dave East Smashes Critics With New Heat [Audio]

Dave East Drops Brand New Banger:  No Back and Forth

Harlem’s own Dave East excites the fans and crushes all the critics with his brand new, streets of New York- influenced track, “No Back and Forth,” produced by Mr.  Authentic.  East takes us on a visual journey through the New York State of Mind, while addressing the haters.  Hot bars echoed through the traditional boom bap drums and dark snares, along with gritty sampled vocals, that haunt the track, from beginning to end.   This track is a marriage of that Mobb Deep-camouflage-pants-with-unlaced-timbs and  Wu-Tang Clan-rocking-wallies flow, while walking through the mean streets of Harlem World.  The imagery and lyrical perception this track reflects make it hotter than Sylvia’s Soul Food hot sauce.

Along with homages paid to legends JAY-Z and his mentor Nas (“..4:44 shoutout to Hova /He still got the culture/Waiting for Nas to drop, paranoia in the holster..”), as well as respects to up and coming First Day Out rapper Tee Grizzley, East‘s new track is what the streets have been missing.  Addressing the haters with bars like “Rap beef I avoid, cause my niggas do walk ups/You n****s just talk tough, spin-cycle, washed-up/I’m chilling with millionaires, s**t  you n****s call luck…” This is something the late Prodigy of Mobb Deep and fellow Harlem native Big L would’ve been proud of.

Dave East lyrically shows he is the breath of fresh air that the east coast hip hop scene have been waiting for.  A perfect track to release after a dosage of JAY-Z’s 4:44. If you never been a fan of this young emcee, this track will definitely make you reconsider your “Top 5 Dead or Alive” list.
