When FWA dropped, it was only available to stream on TIDAL. Now it’s up on both Spotify and Apple Music for the first time, but it’s arrived with a somewhat different tracklist. “He’s Dead,” the James Brown-sampling “I Feel Good,” “Without You” featuring Bibi Bourelly, and “Thinking Bout You” are missing. Originally released in 2015, the 15-song FWA — Wayne’s 11th studio effort — featured guest appearances by Wiz Khalifa, Young Jeezy, Cory Gunz, Black Uhuru’s Junior Reid and singer/songwriter Jake Troth. The re-release, which dropped today via Young Money Records/Republic Records, includes 13 of the original tracks, along with the bonus song “We Livin’ Like That.”

Stream Free Weezy Album below; it’s got appearances from Jeezy, Wiz Khalifa, Cory Gunz, Capito, Hoodybaby, and more, plus production from London on da Track, Infamous, Cool & Dre, and others.

“I would simply describe my music as a new refreshing and different sound. A lot of people start making music and just make catchy stuff, they want that HIT record that’s going to blow them up so that’s the type of sound you get. With every record I do I let the beat breathe so people can truly feel it then put my vocals on it to complete a story”.

5IVE’s look and all around vibe is a great addition to the Trap Soul genre. His ability to maintain a professional career in the NFL and have major-label ready musical product ready already, he’s not only a viable new contender in the resurging Trap Soul genre, but also a Deion Sanders-like mutant that can unlock new levels of cultural identity. His uncanny ability to rev up his audience for what is to come from him in the future is one of his strong traits as he went live with Férina head honcho PartyNextDoor recently to seal his co-sign. Production credits include Batmanonthebeatz, Nxghts, Ashton Mccreight and Emoney.

Stream the project below and look out for more music from him in the future via his instagram.

New Orleans strikes again with another great talent on the rise. YM/OVO representer Capito releases a street anthem with plenty of lyrical content that could have you rewinding the record and catching each bar if so inclined. The song, “Game 7” comes with a feature from Rich Rocka with production handled by BatmanOnTheBeatz.

For those not in the know, Capito is known for rolling with Lil Wayne as an OG member of Young Money with deep roots in OVO. He’s rumoured to be dropping a project this year but no solid dates yet.

As for Rich Rocka, the Bay native was known to be signed to The Game back in 2006, subsequently signing with Akon‘s label Konvict Music by 2010. Fast forward, here’s a brand new heater from the two; listen to it below.
