Heralding its arrival, he just shared the cinematic music video for “What It Look Like.” Directed by Kid Art [Pusha T, Yo Gotti], the gritty clip places French in the middle of an underground New York City hideout alongside bosses of all stripes. As a Scorpion runs across the frame only to be trapped by a glass, shadowy deals go down before the MC dominates an ominous beat with deft rhymes and a chantable hook, “Hit the club up, what it look like? Hit your block up, what it look like? Saw a hundred million cash, what it look like?…They saw me from the bottom, what it look like?”

Rich The Kid is returning with his new release with his new partner label Republic Records and is looking toward 2020 with his greatest music yet. In 2017 Rich The Kid delivered his intoxicating “New Freezer” with Kendrick Lamar. The RIAA double Platinum track was followed by the triple Platinum colossal single “Plug Walk” in 2018.

A Holy Foreshadowing: Seductive Songstress NIKI BLACK Welcomes Rising Artist NISHA On New Track
“NISHA is one of a kind,” shares Black. “I shared ‘Hallelujah’ with her when it first came out and, to my divine surprise, she asked if she could cut a verse. There was a part awaiting her, a holy foreshadowing. We had already bonded spiritually at this point, merging our identities and thoughts into one union of understanding – rebels, brown women, souls who know borders but exist without them, intergenerational prototypes – a final connection to seal this was this verse on hallelujah, my favorite song. NISHA enriched the song in the same way she has enriched my life with her talent, artistry and knowledgeable view on reality. Her lyrics speak to the scorned nature of the rebel who also feels holy, the damned angel who thinks that you gave her your wings to fly, the saint and the sinner. She worded her verse so wonderfully and powerfully, it makes me want to take to the streets and scream it as catharsis.”

OTF Vultures Lil Durk & Booka600 Recruit G Herbo for “Riot” Video
Following in the melodic footsteps of label boss Lil Durk, Only The Family is one of Chicago’s pre-eminent rap crews. Directly confronting their hometown’s unfair crackdown on drill music, Lil Durk shares “Riot,” his latest music video. Recruiting his OTF signee Booka600, who weaves his voice through producer Niaggi’s bouncing classical piano for the inciting hook, Durk blesses his rising success, but vents his frustration about the forces preventing him from performing in the city he loves: “I made the news/I visit schools/They still denied me for my shows, I’m so confused,” sings Durk. The new single also features an appearance from G Herbo, who growls a verse about improving lives of the kids on the streets: “I told the youngins be better than me/If I don’t try and help em I’m less of a man.” Directed by Ant Soulo, the video takes place in a post-apocalyptic landscape, as Durk, Booka, and Herbo start a riot, tagging abandoned, destroying cars, and generally causing mayhem.
