Young Scooter Recruits Rick Ross and T.I. for the “Jugg King” Remix

A well-connected ambassador for ATL trap music, Black Migo Gang chieftain Young Scooter specializes in hard-hitting hustler’s anthems. A slow-burning street hit with over 5 million plays on Spotify and 7.5 million views on YouTube, Scooter’s “Jugg King” is a cocky and infectious banger, built around an epic, see-sawing chord progression and a dramatic piano loop, which Scooter matches with a gleeful sing-song flow. Breathing new life into the 2017 hit, Scooter recruits Rick Ross and T.I. for the song’s remix. The Bawse kicks off the song with his typical bravado (“Yayo when I’m on the block/Yayo in the coffee pot/Yayo in the rental car/I’m sold out by 10 o’ clock”), before the King comes through with an erudite burst of double-time (“Fuck n*gga do what they can/Real n*gga do what they want/I fuck with Young Scooter and the Black Migo Gang cause I know they gon’ keep it A-1”), and Scooter takes the anchor leg. Premiered by Billboard, the “Jugg King” remix follows Trippple Cross, Scooter’s most recent album, released in March by Black Migo Gang and EMPIRE.

Portland-based indie rock band No Kind of Rider share stunning debut LP ‘Savage Coast’ in full with All Musi

But with the completion of their first full-length, Savage Coast, NKOR’s many influences merge to form a unique statement on devotion, commitment, grief, and hope. Today the band share their stunning, resilient debut album, ‘Savage Coast’ in full with All Music and speak on the concept and process of creating their debut record.

MAJIK Share Touching New Track ‘X’

The magnetic intimacy of Majik’s lyrics and vocal delivery is what stands them apart, and this has never been quite so apparent than with their latest offering ‘X’. Wearing his heart on his sleeve, the duo’s front man Marcus sings “I’m lost in your chaos again, changing all the chemicals that you put in my head”. The song is both a nod to a destructive relationship, and the subsequent struggles with his mental health – something he has chosen to speak openly about, as a sufferer of bipolar and depression.
