WATCH: Legendary Treach says Eminem is his ‘light-skined twin’

Legendary rapper Treach from the legendary hip-hop group Naughty By Nature, has recently done an interview with Fat Joe on Instagram. Treach talked about Tupac, Biggie, Queen Latifah, Dr. Dre, Eminem and 50 Cent.

Fat Joe: Eminem said that you are his favorite rapper, what does that feel like when you got somebody so lyrical, a GOAT like Eminem saying you are his favorite rapper?

Treach: “That’s my light-skined brother. I mean, it makes me feel like I did my job. Anybody that I admire, all the fans and the millions of records and the tours worldwide and everything. It shows like we did something so when you hear from that caliber, it just humbles you. We kick it back and forth. Eminem for his birthday, my birthdays, we’d be kicking in it. So It is like mutual respect, you feel me? He is one of the dopest of all times, hands down. And It shows how the culture is so great. It brings everybody together. All races. Hip-Hop brings everybody together. So that is my bro-bro. I love Em.”

“That’s my light-skined brother. He is one of the dopest of all times, hands down.” – Treach (November 12, 2020)

Eminem has named Treach as one of his idols while growing up so watching the video below might be the double satisfaction for the fans:

New Song: J.I.D – “Ballads” ft. Conway The Machine

Dreamville’s JID is back at it again! “Ballads,” which features Griselda’s Conway The Machine and is produced by Christo and Big Jerm,  is the third loosie that J.I.D has dropped since collaborating with Earthgang, to create “Spilligion” album. The song was teased by Conway The Machine back in April on his Instagram live session and today it has officially been released.

Prior to “Spilligion”, the Atlanta MC was one of the leading parts of Dreamville’s 2019 album “Revenge of the Dreamers III,” a compilation project that sold 115,000 album equivalent units in its first week of release and landed at the top of US Billboard 200 charts. The album was also nominated for Best Rap Album at the Grammys.

As far as Conway The Machine, Griselda’s heavyweight is preparing to drop his Shady Records debut album “God Don’t Make Mistakes” at the end of this year, following the release of “From King To A God,” “LULU EP” with The Alchemist and “No One Mourns The Wicked” with DJ Ghost, all project released this year.

As the Buffalo rapper promises, this project is the best body of work he has created so far and shared the preview of the song that is going to appear on the album. You can hear it below:

WATCH: Eminem endorses Biden as his campaign uses ‘Lose Yourself’ for election ad

Eminem’s legendary hip-hop song “Lose Yourself” is now the soundtrack to a new spot from the Joe Biden presidential campaign. The black and white video arrived just ahead of Election Day. Eminem shared the 45-seconds clip on his twitter with the caption that reads: “One Opportunity. VOTE.”

Eminem has never been shy about politics throughout his extraordinary career, whether bashing then-President George W. Bush via the 2004 song “Mosh” from Encore or famously bashing President Donald Trump on his BET freestyles and several Revival album tracks.

But this is the first time the Detroit legend has licensed one of his songs to a political candidate — and indeed, one of the rare cases Eminem has granted a clearance for any type of outside use of his music.

The last time Eminem officially licensed the use of “Lose Yourself” for commercial benefits came in 2011, when the Academy Award winning hit song was deployed in Chrysler’s “Imported from Detroit” campaign, which premiered during the Super Bowl.

Back in 2017, 8 Mile Style, the Ferndale company that controls Eminem’s song publishing, successfully sued a New Zealand political party for recreating and using “Lose Yourself” for their political campaign. Eminem’s team won the case.

Recently, Lil Wayne has showed support to Donald Trump. So this will be clash of Eminem and Lil Wayne in some sort of way, other than hip-hop.

Westside Gunn announces new & final album of his musical career

Westside Gunn announces  new album “Sincerely Adolf,” which will be the final installment of his “Hitler Wears Hermes” mixtape series,. Unfortunately, this might be the last WS Gunn album we will ever hear. The creator of Griselda Records has confirmed on several occasions that he is planning retirement at the end of this year.

Just like his labelmates Benny The Butcher and Conway The Machine, Westside Gunn has been involved many projects this year, including his own “Pray For Paris” and “Who Made The Sunshine,” which was his first and as it looks, final album under Eminem’s Shady Records.

“Everything must come to an end, I got have to finish how I started off. Westside Gunn’s  ‘SINCERELY ADOLF’ aka HWH8 coming VERY soon.” announced the Buffalo legend on his Instagram.
