Lil Wayne Drafts Ultimate Hip-Hop Fantasy Football Team, Drake, Future, and More in Unlikely Lineup
Lil Wayne, known for his legendary status in hip-hop, recently showcased his sports acumen by creating a fantasy football team featuring some of rap’s biggest names. During a conversation with Not Just Football, the “Lollipop” rapper built an all-star lineup, but with a twist—his team consists entirely of fellow rappers.
“Obviously, I got to be the coach,” Lil Wayne stated, kicking off his unique draft. “For quarterback, my dawg, the 6ix God as the quarterback, Champagne Papi [Drake]. [Jay-Z] would be Tom Brady, so Jay’s not in this. He’s just retired, he got a new job coming up, he making $300 mil’. He gon’ be okay. I want our running back to be, you know, like, tough, hardened. I like tough running backs -– I played fullback, so… Like, Beanie Sigel. You see Beanie Sigel back there, you know?”
Weezy’s picks continued with flair. “Wide receiver, you know they got to be flamboyant,” he explained. “They got to be swaggy… We going Future. On the opposite side of him, we going with 2 Chainz. He going to be the guy, the wide receiver that be like, ‘Man, just put it up. Just throw it up.’ Linebackers… Need them to be white boy crazy. Eye black just makes no more sense. We going Post Malone. You see all the tattoos and the grill, yeah. He remind me of [Maxx] Crosby. We got [The Game] and [50 Cent] on each end, left and right.”
However, Lil Wayne’s dream team isn’t without its potential conflicts. Drake and Future have had their share of disagreements, and The Game and 50 Cent are known rivals. This lineup’s off-field drama might rival its on-field talent.
While the feasibility of such a team hitting the gridiron remains in question, Lil Wayne’s imaginative fusion of hip-hop and football showcases his love for both worlds. Whether or not his rap football team could make it to the Super Bowl, it’s a thrilling concept that highlights the larger-than-life personas of some of hip-hop’s biggest stars.

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”
“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.
“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.
Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”
It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.
