Rubi Rose Shocks Joe Budden, “I Don’t Write My Own Songs”

Rubi Rose made waves on the Joe Budden Podcast with a candid conversation that left fans buzzing. Known for her start as a video girl, Rose cleared up the online frenzy over her age during the “Bad and Boujee” video. But the real bombshell was about her songwriting process. Despite being labeled a rapper and songwriter, Rose admitted she doesn’t actually write most of her lyrics.

In a blunt exchange, Budden probed into Rose’s involvement in her music ahead of her debut album set for release in 2024. When asked if she wrote her songs, Rose simply replied, “No,” sparking a mix of awkward laughter and applause from the panel. The moment took a humorous turn when Rose flipped the question back to Budden, who confirmed that he does write his own songs.

The topic of ghostwriting in hip-hop has been a hot-button issue, especially with controversies surrounding artists like Drake. Female rappers, in particular, have faced intense scrutiny. In 2022, Coi Leray defended her pen game on Instagram Live after similar accusations.

Rubi Rose’s forthrightness extended beyond her music. She also addressed rumors about gang affiliation after being seen with gang signs and wearing red in 2022. “I’m not actually a gang member,” she clarified on the Big Facts podcast. “I just like throwing their gang signs up because it’s cute. I love the color red. I’m in no way a gang member, though.”

Whether or not Rose’s career has longevity remains to be seen, but her unfiltered honesty is making her a standout in the industry.

Amanda Fagan unveils lost love and regret on latest release “Forever Yearn”

Amanda Fagan

Amanda Fagans latest release, “Forever Yearn,” is a tragic love story of pride, lost opportunity, and the harrowing knowledge that some mistakes can never be undone. A young couple at heart, wild and almost in love, but whose pride prevents the relationship from flowering. Their story doesn’t end with seeing what went wrong. It hurts more because you don’t see it for years.

“It’s a song about breaking cycles, but the characters are caught in the consequences of their choices. They learn from their mistakes, but knowledge cannot change the past. What remains is the longing for each other, which gives the song its emotional weight and its title, “Forever Yearn.”

Inspired by Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, the song feels like a love story that never gets old. Fagan’s premise blends regret and longing, showing how pride can linger long after an alternative decision could have changed everything. So “Forever Yearn” is less about lost love than about two people wondering what might have been.

iLLLACAT brings sharp bars and catchy production with latest release “Like Dat”

iLLLACAT

iLLLACAT drops “Like Dat,” a Hip-Hop cut with punchy production, percussion, and synths that give the record movement. Bookie comes on the track and sets the tone immediately with the hard lines, “Get out of my face with the gas, we’re on the chase for the cash, if you’re moving fake I’ll pass, I’ll pack it, and I’ll put it in a bag.” The delivery is right there in the money, the movement, and staying away from anything fake.

The production leaves plenty of space to land those words. Percussion powers the track with synths adding another layer to the beat, a backdrop for the straight-up vocal approach. “Like Dat” maintains tight energy and, instead of overcomplicating its message, lets the verses do the work in terms of personality.

The line, “Steady making money while smoking a pain killer” provides another memorable moment and an insight into the attitude that runs throughout the record. iLLLACAT brings us “Like Dat”, a pure hip-hop joint with Bookie on the track. A catchy production that stays sharp, an assertive voice, memorable lines, and enough rhythmic punch to keep the record moving.
