Young Thug, Gunna, And Yak Gotti Prepare To ‘Take It To Trial’
Young Thug brings the ATL trio together ahead of his upcoming YSL compilation album, ‘Slime Language 2.’ …
Young Thug has been promising fans a new project for many months this year and a few months ago he promised his Slime Language 2 compilation would arrive in August in a tweet, but deleted it soon after. The next date to arrive was November 27, but that too came and went with no album.
As of this post, fans have no idea when the compilation album will arrive, but the wait for it has been momentarily numbed with the release of “Take It To Trial” with Yak Gotti and Gunna. The collab is a hard-hitting effort that presents the three artists beyond-prepared to take things to the furthest extents if need be. The song comes with a new video that paints the three artists as delinquents of the law as we see them deal with encounters with the police and handle paraphernalia in the comfort of their homes.
“Take It To Trial” arrives after Thug was recently celebrated for extending a hand to a pair of hip-hop artists. The first instance came when he revealed he gave paid Lil Baby to take rapping seriously while the second came earlier this week when he gifted Rowdy Rebel with a pair of diamond chains after he was released from prison after a six-year sentence. The song is also Gunna’s second collaboration of the night, joining Wiz Khalifa and Tyla Yaweh’s “All The Smoke.”

“Subterranean Homesick Blues” finds a new direction through Ghost of Panama
Rearranging a song that carries six decades of cultural weight is a creative challenge, but Ghost of Panama approaches “Subterranean Homesick Blues” with clear purpose. The rock band radically reworks Bob Dylan’s counter-culture hit, reshaping its identity while keeping its rebellious spirit. It’s a tribute to musical heritage and a statement of artistic independence all in one.
This new interpretation is very much shaped by the production, made at Ghost of Panama’s home studio in West London. The setting allows an intimate approach to reinterpreting a familiar song and lets the group engage directly with the material, taking it in a new artistic direction.
“Subterranean Homesick Blues” centers on the tension between conservation and transformation. Ghost of Panama is true to the song’s rebellious spirit without adding to its legacy, and this approach gives the release an adventurous feel, grounded in countercultural energy but driven by a desire to see what the composition can become in a different musical context.
Their version of this 60-year-old classic shows that respecting a song’s history can also mean breaking the rules and finding new ways to express its spirit. Fundamentally, “Subterranean Homesick Blues” presents Ghost of Panama as artists who want to engage with the past without being tied to it. The release’s strongest identity is a familiar heritage reimagined through a singularly forward-looking creative vision.

“NO MORE” by Amanda Holley connects healing, awakening, and survival
“NO MORE“ carries that kind of emotional weight, and some songs feel like they come from lived experience but reach for something bigger. Amanda Holley blends R&B and soul, turning a lifetime of survival into a vision of healing, awakening, and the determination to move beyond what caused the pain.
“NO MORE“ is a healing anthem for people who have gone through bad experiences and reached a place of higher awareness, but it’s also an emotionally charged protest. The duality is introspective and outward-looking at the same time, turning personal survival into a broader declaration that some experiences, conditions, or cycles should end.
Holley had a premonition of the song six months before the world went into global shutdown. In the vocal booth, working out melodies with her collaborators, she pictured people in the streets. Those images were hard to imagine at the time, but subsequent events would make them painfully familiar.
“NO MORE“ is given a particularly contemplative underpinning by the context. The identity of R&B and soul leaves room for emotion. The song’s themes link survival, awakening, resistance, and the need for change. Amanda Holley is an artist using music to process personal endurance and a broader sense of social awakening. It’s got a complicated significance, and its release feels like a glimpse of a moment when personal intuition and public reality collided in an unexpected way.
