Joe Budden – Wake (Drake Diss)

Joe Budden is not going to let up on his beef with Drake anytime soon. This time he “wakes” us up with a good morning track aimed at Drizzy Drake himself.

We are really interested to see how this goes. Hopefully we get to hear a Drake response here soon. This is an interesting battle because both artist’s are totally different when it comes to lyricism.

Joe really surprised us with the last two diss tracks aimed at Drake. We feel like there is more behind this situation than just rap beef. It’s very possible that this situation could have escalated over a woman connected to both of these artists.

It’s really entertaining watching Drake get involved in beef because he’s one of the few artists that I couldn’t imagine wanting beef. On the contrary, Budden is known to piss people off and have them in their feelings. Budden has sent shots in the past at The Game, G Unit, and the entire Wu Tang Clan.

I think it would be really crazy if Budden could get Drake into the battle world and give him a one on one match. I don’t think it would ever happen but it really would be crazy.

Comment your thoughts below and let us know what you think of Budden’s latest jab to Drake.

Dizzy Wright – 702 EP

Las Vegas lives in the popular imagination more as an adult-oriented theme park than a living, breathing city. However, if you look beyond the strip, you find plenty of ordinary people living ordinary lives, and a growing scene of independent artists making great music. On the 702 EP, Vegas rapper Dizzy Wright showcases his side of the city, shining a light on merely one ingredient of the musical melting pot in the desert. “Not many people know this,” explains Dizzy Wright, “but Vegas has a diverse sound. I’m from the East Side and this EP reflects the sound from that scene.” Although Dizzy is the biggest rap name to come out of Sin City, his intent is not to be the spokesperson for the rap scene but to showcase the diverse scene and sounds.

A departure from the “wisdom and good vibes” of his previous releases, the 702 EP finds Dizzy in a more reflective and personal state of mind, rhyming over metallic, trap-influenced production from the likes of Alex Lustig, FreezeOnTheBeat, LarryMakingAllTheHits and Louie Haze. Featuring guest appearances by fellow Vegas natives Reezy and Easy Redd and Omaha’s Skate Maloley, the 702 EP is the ideal soundtrack for hot, neon-lit summer nights. Explains Dizzy Wright, “In the summer, people want to smile and have fun. This summer, I want them to be able to listen to my music in clubs, at basketballs games, basically at any kind of event. I made a tape that my fans could just throw on and play from start to finish.”

The nephew of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s Layzie Bone, Dizzy Wright began rapping at just 8 years old. Dizzy Wright released SmokeOut Conversations in April 2012, peaking at #2 on the iTunes Hip-Hop charts. He followed it up with a free mixtape, Free SmokeOut Conversations, which propelled Dizzy Wright to his own national 30-city tour. As the “People’s Choice” member of the XXL Freshman Class of 2013, Dizzy Wright also released his The Golden Age mixtape followed by multiple projects which received wide acclaim, including 2015’s The Growing Process which landed him HotNewHipHop’s digital cover story. Earlier in 2016, Dizzy Wright released the Wisdom and Good Vibes EP, featuring singles such as “Work a Lil Harder”and “Plotting.” This year, Dizzy also opened for Logic on his sold out The Incredible World Tour.
