Following the success of Fetty Wap’s “Trap Queen” and the release of its latest remix featuring Quavo, Gucci Mane and Azealia Banks, it was only a matter of time before Drake would step in and put his OVO stamp on some of Fetty Wap’s music.

The track is the perfect follow up from “Trap Queen”, and with Drake on the remix, it is hard to see the current buzz surrounding the New Jersey rapper ending any time soon. “My Way” has already been deemed the ultimate jam for the summer, making this remix the perfect way to get you amped up for the following months to come!

Phizzle – “Biggest”:
After a break from the music scene, Nigerian rapper Phizzle is back with a new single titled “Biggest”, and its accompanying video.

The track is taken from A$AP’s highly anticipated album At.Long.Last.A$AP which will be dropping on June 2, the New York rapper has said that the album will be much more experimental than his previous work, which “Everyday” is testament to.

Krept & Konan + Jeremih – “Freak Of The Week”:
The Young Kingz might be on the long way home but they aren’t slowing down for much. Krept & Konan have just dropped their summer smash for the gyaldem titled “Freak Of The Week” featuring US R&B star Jeremih, and on the same day signed their first major publishing deal with Sony.
Set to land on June 28 (one week prior to the release of the duo’s debut album), “Freak Of The Week” produced by DJ Mustard and ADP hears the Play Dirty duo move to something more dancehall/US-themed – a departure from their earlier efforts, yet a strong piece that’s likely to further expand on the buzz of their full record. After announcing it would be the first official single from The Long Way Home last week, “Freak Of The Week” premiered earlier last night with Mistajam on BBC 1Xtra and now we finally get to see the visual featuring Jeremih. Check out the video below.
With the news of the Play Dirty duo’s major publishing deal with Sony earlier this week, their first album due to drop in almost exactly two months, a UK tour on the way and possibly a free EP of unreleased tracks (if Krept’s tweets are anything to go by), along with a couple of other videos including one featuring Bikelife TV UK… these two really aren’t playing right now. It’s looking set to be a very exciting year for the boys from the 7. Pre-order “Freak Of The Week” on iTunes here, and pre-order Krept And Konan’s forthcoming debut album here.
Omarion + Dej Loaf + Ty Dolla $ign + Trey Songz + Rick Ross – “Post To Be (Remix)”:
This remix might be one of the hottest ones this month. As the original track by Omarion only featured Chris Brown and Jhene Aiko, the R&B artist now replaced them by inviting Dej Loaf, Ty Dolla $ign, Trey Songz and rapper Rick Ross to hop on the remix of it. While every one of them gets to sing their own catchy verse, Trey Songz even refers to Jhene Aiko’s “eat the booty like groceries” quote, which has been infamous all around social media. Listen to it here.
