The stream of collaborations between Dom Kennedy and TeeFlii runs deep and now the duo has returned once more to bless us with a few more tracks via TeeFlii's newest self-titled EP. The effort comes outfitted with 5 total tracks with Dom accompanying a total of four cuts while TeeFlii uses the opportunity to continue to flex his talents as a hitmaker, appropriately taking on the role of crooner this time around. The new outing serves as check-in from last year's Next Level album. This summer, TeeFlii, along with 2 Chainz and DJ Mustard, reached a settlement agreement over his debut "24 Hours" track from 2014. It was songwriters Allen Georgia, Sten Stonebridge, and Frederick McFarlane who originally accused the artists of ripping their 1993 song "Back It Up." Listen to the newest EP below.

Keyon Christ and Bibi Bourelly are well-known for their prolific work behind-the-scenes--Christ as a producer and Bourelly as a songwriter. This weekend, however, the two collide in the forefront to create Christ's newest "Booze Right" selection as Bourelly floats over Keyon's backdrop. To commemorate the track's arrival, Christ also hopped on Reddit to host a little AMA. Naturally, however, the bulk of the conversation focused on his relationship and work with Kanye West and the G.O.O.D. Music team. The recurring question would be surrounding the whereabouts of the reported project that Keyon Christ had in the works with Kanye West post-Life Of Pablo. "I guess it got trashed," he admitted. "I signed to the label and they told me I was producing six more songs that year. Also Kanye said he was releasing a few more albums that year so everyone was hype. They had just signed me, 070 Shake, Desiigner, etc. But things fell apart when Kanye had to take some time away and do some important self care which is understandable. Props to him for getting back to his self. But overall things changed drastically for the label after that and projects got trashed." Quotable Lyrics ou don't ever know when you should stop Neither do I, babe I don't care if it's bad for me or not, I'm not here to have it Phone'll ring and it feel like the same old thing over and over again View the full article
