DJ Infamous recently put in work for ColleGrove, the 2 Chainz and Lil’ Wayne collaboration project released in early March. For his next trick, the award winning DJ gathered together Yo Gotti, Jeezy, who recently donated book bags to Atlanta youth in need, and Ludacris for a song celebrating success and reflecting on the privileges that come with having access to large sums of money.

“I say I want that paper, need that paper
Hustling in my veins, I just bleed that paper”

Ludacris then swoops in proclaiming “Whoever said money is root of all evil never had none,” suggesting that the golden life portrayed by those with money is just as good as it’s perceived to be. Continuing the trend of talking about those looking down on them, Yo Gotti comes in saying:

“See first you get the money then you get the haters
Don’t let that s**t distract you gotta be focused on your paper”

The theme of the song is very heavily influenced by not only obtaining success and wealth, but maintaining it as well; something all of these artists have been successful in doing over the course of their careers.

Infamous definitely won’t slow down anytime soon- this surely won’t be the last release he does featuring more top level emcee’s with repertoires as expansive as these. You can follow Infamous on Twitter here, and be on the lookout for more projects in the future.

Two dope boys in a Chevy, ya heard me?

Florida-based artist Eskeerdo is back with the release of the video for his single “Hurting Feelings,” which was produced by Grammy award-winning producer Infamous and directed by Deepsleep Studio and Derick G.

Eskeerdo has recently been making waves as a solo artist for his high-intensity beats with fast and cutting lyrics to match, but his name and reputation in the music industry has been circulating for years. In addition to being one of the founding members of The Monsters, Eskeerdo is a critically acclaimed producer and songwriter, collaborating on hits such as Kanye West‘s “Clique” and Rihanna‘s “No Love Allowed.”

In the video, Eskeerdo rides around his hometown of Hialeah, Florida chanting, “two dope boys in a Chevy, ya heard me?” in a sped up frenzy that matches the energetic beat of the song. His charismatic appearance and rapping style is balanced out by the simplicity of the video, which details the many ups and downs of a late night joyride through a suburban sprawl.

Check out the video below and look out for more tunes from Eskeerdo later this year.
