RND Freeman & Jupleci Share New Collaborative Project “Picasso” (Official Music Video)

RND Freeman & Jupleci have just recently shared their new collaborative project, the music video Picasso,” after having dropped “Phony” and ”Dead Weight” these past months on IG TV. The emerging power duo, both Runaway Generation signees, are displaying their meticulous rap and intricate lyricism with the laid back “Picasso.” They have been building a strong following with the high quality tracks released so far. Kicking off with a relaxed confidence, “Picasso” comes to demonstrate the unorthodox style of both RND Freeman and Jupleci, as the Canadian rappers once again expose their natural chemistry while we hope they continue collaborating in the future. 

In total alignment with their previous releases, “Picasso” is an original Hip-Hop act transcending all boundaries and offering visionary innovations to the genre, exposing a fusion of  urban subgenres and microgenres, with atmospheric soundscapes building the flawless sonic structure for both Jupleci and RND Freeman to layer their dominating flows from start to finish. 

RND Freeman was born and raised in Ottawa,Canada, and is of Cameroonian descent. His upbringing in Canada through the lens of a first generation immigrated family, Freeman quickly developed an early sense of underdog. Raised in a home in which African music was very prevalent, Freeman says the first artist he personally connected to was Bob Marley. RND FReeman describes his art as a flower child bleeding his soul on the beat. Much of Freeman’s music carries revolutionary undertones but he insists on not classifying himself as a revolutionary but as part of the revolution. His sound is influenced by the likes of Wiz Khalifa, ASAP Rocky, Young Thug, Lil Uzi and Future. 

Jupleci was born and raised in Montreal with a full Haitian background. RnB music was introduced to him at a very young age. As much as he was attached to RnB, hip hop/rap is something he was heavily influenced by. In his teenage years he grew up listening to 50 cent, Kanye West, 2pac and the list goes on. Today Jupleci considers his style as a mixture of R&B mixed with hip hop (R&Bass). He’s currently inspired by the likes of hip hop artists 6lack, Roddy Rich and Ty Dolla Sign.

Drake’s Halftime Redemption? FIFA President Teases 6 God’s Shot at World Cup Glory

HonkMagazine

Drake might have faced some challenges in 2024, but FIFA President Gianni Infantino could offer him a golden opportunity for a comeback. During a recent chat on Good Day New York, Infantino teased the idea of Drake performing at the 2026 FIFA World Cup Halftime Show, which could spark another exciting chapter in the competition between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Kendrick Lamar has been a strong competitor in their ongoing rivalry, gaining much attention with his songs “Meet the Grahams” and “Not Like Us.”

In 2025, while Kendrick continues to win Grammys and shine during big events like the Super Bowl Halftime Show, his album has remained a hit on music charts, standing firm against Drake’s latest work. Yet, everyone knows Drake is not one to shy away from a challenge. Then, there’s FIFA. When host Rosanna Scotto suggested the idea of Drake headlining the World Cup Halftime Show in 2026, Infantino seemed intrigued. “Drake… Kendrick Lamar dissed him at the Super Bowl,” she pointed out, highlighting a perfect chance for Drake to make a strong comeback. Infantino, who has previously collaborated with Drake to announce locations for the tournament, appeared enthusiastic about the idea, responding, “That’s a good idea. I should have his number somewhere.”

Could this be the ideal platform for Drake to turn things around? A performance at the World Cup is a massive global event and a chance for him to reclaim his story in front of millions of viewers worldwide. This could reinforce why he is still one of the biggest names in music. If this happens, it would symbolize a renewal for Drake, a kind of revenge tour during the world’s most-watched halftime show. Will FIFA reach out to him? Will Drake step up to the challenge? And will Kendrick have anything to say about it? 2026 is shaping up to be quite an exciting year!
