UPDATE: Logic delivers a new visual for his Eminem collab “Homicide” — except with comedian Chris D’Elia in Em’s place. Added below.

Before Maryland Rap star Logic delivers his new album Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, the now-successful author delivers his biggest collaboration since rapping alongside the Wu-Tang Clan — a new track with his predecessor Eminem titled “Homicide.” No surprise here: the two are rapping their asses off in ways that you’ll either love or hate.

Last week, hip-hop was gifted with a handful of new projects, including Logic‘s newest body of work, Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind.

The Maryland emcee’s fifth studio album includes a coveted list of features throughout the 16-track tape with appearances from some very notable and unexpected guests. We get heavy hitting verses from Eminem, YBN Cordae, G-Eazy, Gucci Mane and Will Smith. Not to mention some wise words from Logic’s dad.

After reaching the number one spot on Apple Music, Logic shares his second single off the album, “Still Ballin,” featuring Wiz Khalifa.

This joint quickly became a fan favorite as these two always push out bangers while in the lab, and as expected “Still Ballin,” delivers crazy lyricism from both Logic and Wiz.

What songs do you have on repeat? – And if you’ve yet to grab Logic’s new project, stop sleepin’ and grab Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind here.

Germany born rapper Gaddo, has released a dope new single titled “Nexx”.  As someone who has been working in the music business since the age of 16, his talents are taking him to new heights. He has crafted up an original sound that makes him truly unique as an MC.

On this release, you will hear Gaddo rapping about wanting more over less as he is up “nexx” to blow. The most impressive thing about this artist is his unique story telling ability. He does an excellent job of letting his fans know how hard he is working to ensure that his end result is success in abundance.

The Bone Collector produced beat meshes perfectly with this MC’s vocals. Some lyrics that stand out are “I’m still here battling demons that I just can’t seem to get off of my back”. His rawness and honesty flourishes on this record and show his diversity as an artist.

Having opened up for the likes of Kendrick Lamar, Mac Miller and Logic, Gaddo is on the path toward stardom. He plans to continue putting out his best music today and wants fans to know that this is only the beginning.

Press play below to stream his latest material.

“Flynn is stuck—depressed, recently dumped, and living at his mom’s house. The supermarket was supposed to change all that. An ordinary job and a steady check. Work isn’t work when it’s saving you from yourself. But things aren’t quite as they seem in these aisles. Arriving to work one day to a crime scene, Flynn’s world collapses as the secrets of his tortured mind are revealed. And Flynn doesn’t want to go looking for answers at the supermarket. Because something there seems to be looking for him. A darkly funny psychological thriller, Supermarket is a gripping exploration into madness and creativity. Who knew you could find sex, drugs, and murder all in aisle nine?”

Added to that, the Maryland emcee has done something I haven’t quite heard before: he’s released a soundtrack of the same name to accompany the book — and this project is in addition to his forthcoming sixth album, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. You can’t say his fans aren’t being fed.

Stream the Supermarket soundtrack below, and expect the novel to arrive sometime this year. Also added is — if you missed it — his visual for “Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind.”
