“Still smoking weed ’cause it’s good for the vision / Yeah, breaking down green, yeah it’s good for nutrition,” he raps. Check out the video below.

What’s the story behind “White Runtz”?

Truthfully speaking I didn’t go into the studio with the intention to make a novelty ass song promoting Runtz “even though I kind-of did.” I just was high as hell and drunk on NYE vibing to a bunch of beats Lord Fubu had sent me. I sat in my car and literally wrote for hours and ended up with a 6-track EP finished and “White Runtz” to me seemed like the first single ready to be released from it. Lowkey, I went to the studio as soon as I woke up from staying up all night writing it so it was written and recorded all on New Years Eve.

How did you come up with the inspiration for it?

Well for all who don’t know and for the weed smokers out there it’s a very popular strain, and I kept getting my hands on it for like a month or so. I was smoking it so much that it became one of the main strains I was smoking on at the time so when I was writing the hook it just hit me because literally it felt like all we were smoking on was “White Runtz.”

What inspires your sound creatively?

Definitely whatever I’m going through in life at the moment. The darker the times are the more passionate I get because I work well under pressure and when it feels like “Its all or nothing”. But mainly just experiences, women, weed, and just nostalgic memories from my childhood.

Dropping music fresh off your album, what is the reason behind being extremely consistent?

It’s definitely just the time that we’re in now mainly. Not that i’m trying to keep up because when I first started rapping I would drop four tapes a year almost, but because everyone’s attention span is shorter. Even the stanza for a song these days are like hook, verse, then one more hook to finish it off so everything is a-lot more shorter and to the point. I started making shorter songs back in 2013 unconsciously and now that’s like the norm.

As far as music goes, what can we expect from you this year?

Definitely more visuals from my latest album, $tuck In My Ways, just because that’s a body of work i’m proud of and want to make sure it gets its just due with the public. I feel like going into new decade was big for me because I’ve officially been rapping longer then ten years so I want to hit the ground running. Flood the streets with new projects, y’all might get four bodies of work out of me before 2020 is finished.

Are there any artists or producers in particular that you’re working with?

Well me and Lord Fubu dropping a EP together which is gonna be insane! It’s called Ju$t Vibe and features this single as the lead single. I’m releasing that at the end of January on all platforms. As far as artists I’m not going to lie I keep operations close knit. I mainly work with artists who are really my homies in real life like Crown Marquiss, Seven Jackson & even Kelow Latesha who i’ve dropped several records with in the past but as far as any new artists no but i’m open if there shit is dope.

Bucky Malone and Lily Rayne are the perfect team with this new hit.

After releasing his eclectic project Futuristic Pimp $hit II back in October 2018, Bucky Malone is back with his first 2019 release titled ”Off Dat!”. For this single, Bucky grabs Providence, Rhode Island’s very own Lily Rayne where she helps deliver a stylish-chanty anthem that will surely get stuck in your head after a few listens. The track is smooth and laid-back due to production by frequent collaborator ICYTWAT who is also the beat-maker behind Divine Council’s 2016 hit “Decemba.”  The replay value of ”Off Dat!” is immense and we see it sticks to many different playlists. 

”Off Dat!” is available on all streaming platforms so go check it out!

Florida’s Crown Marquiss and VA’s Bucky Malone have each had a strong year, proving to be very consistent with their respective music. Crown Marquiss shared his introspective AFRO tape in July, while Bucky Malone dropped both The Pink Album and Pink $ummer. In May, we spoke to Bucky Malone about his journey and why music has become such a crucial outlet to voice his thoughts. Now Crown and Bucky return to unload a surprise body of work for the fans titled W.M.H.B.M., which stands for We Make Hits By Mistake.

“We knew this project was going to happen eventually.. just based off of our previous collaborations. We just had to find the right time to get it done. Everything came together naturally since we work together so much.” Crown Marquiss shares with us.

GoldenUzi, R8, Maaly Chaney, Deezy Andretti, Handsome Jones, Chris Beatz, as well both Bucky (Little Tokyo) and Crown receive production credit on the 12-track mixtape. Features include Mari and Ameen Spade. The Southern patnas serve up a handful of anthems on this tape, including the thumping “Old Phone,” and the boastful, piano-driven, “Moves.”

Stream the confident We Make Hits By Mistake below and stay tuned for even more new music from Bucky Malone and Crown Marquiss as we approach 2018.
