Kid Cudi Producer Dot da Genius shares “Talk About Me” (feat. Kid Cudi, Denzel Curry, & JID)
Multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated producer Dot da Genius has just shared his new single “Talk About Me” (feat. Kid Cudi, Denzel Curry & JID) with a Lyrical Lemonade directed visual. The bolstering track features a punchy trio of verses from Cudi, Denzel Curry & JID over an ethereal and psychedelic instrumental courtesy of Dot da Genius. The Lyrical Lemonade visual features a mirage of animated shots including Cudi wrapped in a Louis Vuitton space suit performing in a mirror-laced room, Denzel Curry & JID rapping in a black & white wonderland, and Dot da Genius running the whole show in an impressive control room. The visual also marks the first collaboration between Lyrical Lemonade and Kid Cudi––satisfying an all-time career goal for director Cole Bennett. Dot da Genius has been the mastermind behind some of hip-hop’s most transformative moments of late, and now with the help of his long-time collaborator Kid Cudi, Denzel Curry, JID & Cole Bennett––he’s ready to show the world his own distinct creative vision.
“I’ve been in music for a long time, right now I’m understanding what phase and era I’m entering. It feels good to finally make the decisions, decide what looks good, and just get my vision out to the people that supported me all this time. There are so many kids out there that have supported me, so I want to give them something to hold on to.” – Dot da Genius
Dot da Genius is fresh off executive producing the third chapter of Kid Cudi’s coveted Man on The Moon series released in 2020 and scoring the soundtrack to Cudi’s upcoming animated Netflix series Entergalacticpremiering in September. “Talk About Me” has been in the works since early 2019 when Denzel Curry & Dot met for the first time in a recording session at Dot’s studio, The Brewery Recording Studio. Denzel and Dot’s creative relationship continued, with Dot producing a pair of tracks on Denzel’s 2022 album Melt My Eyez See Your Future. In 2020, Dot was playing records for Cudi in his studio and after hearing “Talk About Me”, Cudi was enthralled by the track and immediately decided to add a verse to it. Dot wanted to add an additional rapper on the track and sought to have an all-star lyricist on “Talk About Me”, so JID was a natural choice for him. Denzel Curry personally looped in Cole Bennett to head the video for the track––with Lyrical Lemonade adding the experimental and vibrant visuals to pair with the star-studded collaboration.

Rising DMV artist Luwhop Lewis releases new single “Gemini ina Nightmare” which is a mix of the catchy DMV flow along with a dope vibe that reminds us a bit of artists such as Tony Shhnow, Teezo Touchdown, and Bear1Boss.
It’s a mix of eerie tones along with a more silent whisper cadence to his voice creates a nice, easy going flow that is smooth on the ears. A new video goes with the audio that is shot in a unique and vivid purple lighting that gives it a ambiance to it that’s visually appealing.
Overall “Gemini ina Nightmare” is a nice single to check out below.
A bonafide Brooklyn hustler with a god-given talent for tough talk, Jay Critch runs on his own time. Clocking his game with an unfazed flow that makes this lifestyle look effortless, Critch shares the new video for “Minutes,” from his recent Jugg Season project. Featuring slow-burning production from Luca Beats, Critch creeps over the track’s understated instrumental with his natural gravitas on full display as he rings off a barrage of stone-cold flexes: “The bankroll look like Big Mac/Me and brodie gon’ split it like Kit-Kat/Took that money, I’m not with the chit-chat/II put her in the dress and she wit’ that.”
The video for “Minutes,” directed by Chinola Films, follows the rapper and Michael Kors-approved model on a cold, rainy night in Brooklyn, though with his entourage beside him with umbrellas in hand next to their fleet of white Lamborghini trucks, the crew could easily be mistaken for the baddest bunch of villains in Gotham with Critch at the helm.
Released in February, Jugg Season is the culmination of Jay’s five years as a crucial figure in his city’s scene, brimming with the confidence of a hot shot upstart made good. Incorporating sounds from the Five Boroughs and beyond, the 19-track project bounces from the Shiny Suit Era to the SoundCloud explosion to the heyday of the Coke Boys, with Critch serving as a versatile and charismatic navigator. The 24-year-old Clinton Hill native flashes a lyrical maturity that nearly matches his ambition, weaving his own history with the rich heritage of NYC rap music. Jugg Season recruits producers from all over the rap map, with contributions from plugg maestro MexikoDro, heady Chicago sound architect BrentRambo, Atlanta impresario Richie Souf, West Coast magician RonRonTheProducer, and more. Featuring guest spots from Max B, Rich The Kid, and Baby Money, Jugg Season is available everywhere via EMPIRE.
With Jugg Season in the books Jay Critch, seeks to resume his Five Borough takeover. Stay tuned.
