Nasty C performs his new single "Head Up" for his Platoon Soundcheck. He says it's "a song about trusting and believing in yourself. It’s a reminder to be patient with yourself, especially in moments when life feels heavy. It’s easy to get discouraged when you see others crushing it while you’re struggling, but the song encourages you to hold on, to trust, love, and give yourself the grace you need to get through those times."
Wyclef Jean is back and he’s got some famous friends with him. The former Fugee has dropped his new single “Back From Abu Dhabi” with Rick Ross and French Montana. For the track, the three cruise over cinematic beat switches as they get off some of their typically self-mythologizing bars. It’s flexing, but it feels like there’s a purpose to it.
