Newark-native AllStarrDaGreat (aka ADG) has always been obsessed with cars, specifically high-performance vehicles, that shine in his fast and furious new visuals for hellcat anthem “SRT.”

“Like many kids growing up in hoods all across the country, if you weren’t in school you were hustling or trapping,” says ADG.

“When you became successful at whatever grind you chose, you’d cop the SRT. It was like a status symbol that you ‘made it’. So I wanted to bring that story to life with this song and video.”

The east coast lyricist blends 90’s bars with cadences that represent the new era of the culture. As a result, he’s being hailed as the predecessor to the Rap kingdom Jay Z and Notorious B.I.G built.

In high school, ADG traveled around the globe hooping as well as writing poetic lyrics and recording. He gained invaluable experiences that would eventually contribute to his autobiographical flow, which has connected deeply with his solid fanbase.

Raised in a music-heavy household that gave equal airtime to rap and classic R&B, ADG developed a keen ear for prolific rhymes and soulful rhythms. His artistic influences, Jay Z and Prince, reflect that philosophy.

At the dawn of his career, ADG signed an artist deal with Big Block of Block ENT and Bad Boy South and relocated to Atlanta. That alignment proved to be short-lived.

However, the young spitter didn’t return home empty handed or headed. ADG had amassed a diverse catalog of material and also learned the business side of the industry.

With a renewed sense of purpose and passion, ADG made a triumphant return to the game with his single “Randy Foye” featuring notable emcee Benny The Butcher.

In typical ADG style, he creatively pays homage to the NBA great while simultaneously incorporating his love for the sport and mapping a legacy for the city of Newark.

ADG is signed to a partnership agreement with Jason Geter’s Heavy Sound Lab imprint.

Geter is the co-founder of Grand Hustle Records where he signed and managed the career of rapper/entertainer T.I., in addition to inking deals with Iggy Azalea and Travis Scott, whom he also discovered.

Meek Mill Draws Mixed Reactions With Drill Take on Nico & Vinz’s “Am I Wrong”

Meek Mill has released a couple of songs that leaked online recently, giving fans a proper way to hear the tracks after they popped up over the weekend. “Philly Heathens” has been praised for its attention to street culture and youth affected by violence, but his other new album, “Am I Wrong,” has received a much more divided response.

“Philly Heathens” has been praised for its lyrics about street culture and the young people who get caught up in violence. “Am I Wrong,” however, takes a vastly different approach, remixing the song of the same name by Nico & Vinz as a drill centric interpolation.

“Am I Wrong” is now 12 years old, and its connection to the EDM sound of the time makes it especially recognizable to those who grew up with it. So Meek’s take is built on a familiar musical reference, but the response has been far from universally complimentary. A lot of the criticism has been directed at the hook. The production has also been called dated, but the track was leaked, which may explain its sound. But the strongest reactions have focused on Meek’s chorus vocals.

Some of the responses have been good, though. Some listeners felt the track was a throwback to the blog era, while others thought the criticism targeted almost entirely the hook, not the song as a whole. One Reddit commenter wrote that the track was good, but the chorus was bad, suggesting that Meek’s performance on the rest of the song was better than the reception to the hook may suggest.

The different reactions demonstrate the contrast between Meek’s two new leaks. “Philly Heathens” has resonated with audiences for its subject matter, while “Am I Wrong” has sparked discussion due to its interpolation and vocal approach.

Both songs are now officially available on YouTube so that fans can decide for themselves. The response to “Am I Wrong” shows how difficult it is to reinterpret a well known song, especially when a recognizable hook becomes the centerpiece of the new version

Drake Joins Karol G in Houston for First Live Performance of “Ahi”

Drake made a surprise appearance in Houston this weekend, joining Karol G on stage for the first-ever live performance of their collaboration, “Ahi.”
The surprise appearance took place during Karol G’s show in Houston, where Drake jumped out from the bottom of the stage to perform the song with her. “Ahi” is the latest from Karol G’s project No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto, and the Houston show marked the first time the pair had performed the collaboration together on stage.

Drake made his entrance to a loud reception from the crowd. The rapper popped out from under the stage, bowed to Karol G, hugged her, and launched into their collaboration. With “Ahi,” the performance was not over. Drake stayed on stage and carried on with the set, performing “Janice STFU” and “One Dance” and giving the Houston crowd a long set from the Canadian rapper.

The collaboration also sparked speculation about Drake’s upcoming music. A rumor started that Karol G was one of the collaborators on the project, along with Molly Santana and Future, days before ICEMAN is expected to drop. Future and Molly Santana were among the names on the rumored list, and Future ended up on “Run To Atlanta.”

Drake’s Houston appearance comes as he continues to promote music outside the traditional album release cycle. He released FOMO, a visual YouTube project featuring visuals for several songs from Habibti and Maid Of Honor nearly two weeks ago. The project also featured a couple of unreleased songs, including new material with Yeat and new unreleased music with Don Toliver.

Drake and Don Toliver have also dropped a remix of Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas.” The remix has recently sparked speculation about the artists after re uploaded visuals allegedly erased all footage of Langley.

But the Houston show shifted the focus back to Drake and Karol G. The surprise appearance turned the stop into the first live showcase of “Ahi” for the audience, while Drake’s renditions of “Janice STFU” and “One Dance” extended his surprise time onstage. It also gave fans their first chance to see the two artists perform their collaboration together, adding a live chapter to the release of “Ahi. “
