Lil Yachty and Joe Budden have questioned who would have a better verse if they rapped over an Alchemist instrumental.In the most recent episode of his A Safe Place podcast, Yachty interviewed his foe-turned-friend Joe Budden. During their chat, the Atlanta rapper asked the New Yorker, “Do you think, right now – if me and you went in a [studio] – you would pen a better verse than me?”Budden immediately asked, “Who’s picking the beat?” – to which Yachty quipped, “Obviously, not you!” He added that the ‘Pump It Up’ rapper would choose something that could soundtrack the 2003 basketball video game, NBA Streets Vol. 2.The media personality rebutted, stating that – if Yachty picked the backing track – it would “sound like when the Nintendo game fucked up and now you gotta find some whole new pocket that the 20-35 [year-old] crowd is gonna be in to.”A post shared by THE HIP-HOP WOLF® (@thehiphopwolf)Budden said Yachty would only have the best verse if they used one of “those Metroid beats” – referring to Metro Boomin‘s synth-heavy production.The Concrete Boys founder then said confidently that he “can work on anything” and is willing to “dust off” one of his beats from the hip-hop legend, producer The Alchemist.The podcast’s co-host MitchGoneMad asked Budden if Yachty would be “done” if they both rapped over an Alchemist beat, to which Budden replied: “I won’t even dignify [that].”After the back-and-forth, Budden ultimately agreed to go bar for bar with Yachty: “I’d do it for fun because I’m retired.

Jem Aswad Executive Editor, Music As this album’s cover artwork suggests — it appears to show a restaurant table with one man drinking tea and eating baked beans, and the other drinking syrup — a full-length collaboration album between British avant singer-songwriter James Blake and psychedelicized Atlanta rapper Lil Yachty might not have been on anyone’s prediction list for 2024. But even knowing both artists’ predilection for the unexpected, it’s a surprisingly symbiotic alliance.

Lil Yachty has said that he believes that neither Drake nor Kendrick Lamar “won or lost” their epic recent beef.The Atlanta rapper himself was dragged into the feud when he was namechecked on Lamar’s ‘Euphoria’ (“Yachty can’t give you no swag neither, I don’t give a fuck ‘bout who you hang with”), which he has said he “didn’t really want anything to do with”.“I knew that my name was mentioned before it came out,” he said on his podcast A Safe Place. “I didn’t hear the record but I had got word that I was mentioned. I wasn’t surprised.”A post shared by 2Cool2Blog (@2cool2bl0g)He went on to clarify that he has appreciated the work that has been put into the back-and-forth.

Yungblud has released ‘When We Die (Can We Still Get High?)’, his first single of 2024, featuring Lil Yachty.The track sees the English musician – born Dominic Harrison – confronting metaphysical questions, opening with the lyrics: “Does Heaven have a dealer? Do they sell the love for cheaper than in Hollywood? / As hell is gettin’ colder, I don’t plan on gettin’ older in this neighbourhood“, before culminating in him belting the song’s title over an immense soundscape: “When we die, tell me, can we still get high?”Later in the track, Lil Yachty joins in with mind-bending bars: “If you fall far too deep / Lose yourself in your new life / Head over heels for your new eyes“, the track’s trippy production complementing the rapper-producer’s current psych-rock phase, heralded by his 2023 album ‘Let’s Start Here’.In a press release, Yungblud spoke about intending to collaborate with Lil Yachty since 2019. “When we die (can we still get high?)’ was one of the first songs I wrote when I got to New Orleans to make new music,” he wrote.

Yungblud and Lil Yachty have teased that they’re working on an upcoming collaboration.The musicians were snapped together in a new photo which shows the pair situated somewhere in Atlanta, sitting in directors’ chairs in a wooded area.While it’s not clear exactly what they’re working on, neither is a stranger to collaborating with fellow artists.Most recently, Yungblud – real name Dominic Harrison – worked with Bring Me The Horizon‘s Oli Sykes on his October release ‘Happier‘, which followed his team-up with Avril Lavigne in 2022 on ‘I’m A Mess’.Meanwhile Lil Yachty, whose real name is Miles Parks McCollum, featured on Faye Webster‘s recent single ‘Lego Ring’. He’s also previously linked up with Drake, Flo Milli, Future, Playboi Carti and more.Last year, Lil Yachty dropped his new album ‘Let’s Start Here’, for which he strayed from his usual trap and rap stylings in favour of rock elements, which he said proves “I can do anything”.In an interview with Billboard, his non-rap inspirations ranged from Tame Impala‘s ‘Currents’, Pink Floyd‘s seminal ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ and Frank Ocean‘s ‘Blonde’.“Fuck any of the albums I dropped before this one,” he said, before clarifying: “I came into music in a time where rap was real hardcore, it was real street.

Billie Eilish has responded to the lewd lyrics about her body that Lil Yachty raps on Drake‘s track ‘Another Late Night’.The song – featured on Drake’s eighth studio album ‘For All The Dogs‘ – sees Lil Yachty rap “She had big tits like Billie Eilish but she couldn’t sing (Drip).” The line came under fire from Eilish’s fans, with many commenting on how crude and vile it was.In a new interview with Variety, the ‘Ocean Eyes’ singer, who has been very vocal about her body image, addressed the line. “I think it’s fun! I’m flattered! Yachty is my friend. Drake is my friend.

Lil Yachty has shared his belief that Twitch streamers are currently making “more money” than “90 per cent of rappers.”Recently, the Atlanta rapper appeared as a guest on the streetwear store CoolKicks’ ‘Shopping For Sneakers’ web series.
