Legendary rapper, producer, entrepreneur, and Academy Award winner Juicy J has a new collaborative album out today via Trippy Music with super-producer and artist Pi’erre Bourne. Space Age Pimpin was executive produced by Juicy J and shows two worlds coming together with the high energy Southern grit of J colliding with the new age melodic trap sound Bourne helped shape since his arrival into the industry. 

Space Age Pimpin boasts the first single they dropped called “This Fronto” which got acclaim from Pitchfork, The Fader, Stereogum, Complex, Hypebeast, Uproxx, Paste Magazine, and many more. It’s been nonstop hard work for J, from performing a classic Verzuz battle and performing many sold out shows (alongside Three 6 Mafia) to dropping a collaborative album called Stoner’s Night with Wiz Khalifa to recent production credits Drake’s newest Honestly, Nevermind album (“Jimmy Cooks”).

Pi’erre Bourne first made his mark as a producer — crafting massive singles for Playboi Carti (“Magnolia”), topping the charts with Lil Uzi Vert (Eternal Atake), and becoming a GRAMMY Award winner (Kanye West’s Jesus Is King) — while establishing himself as a successful rapper with lauded solo albums The Life of Pi’erre 4 and The Life of Pi’erre 5, which was critically acclaimed as one of the “Best Albums of 2021” by NPR, Complex, Rolling Stone, XXL and more. Earlier this year he collaborated with Atlanta’s own TM88 on their collaborative mixtape titled, Yo88!, where TM produced the beats while Pi’erre provided glorious “catchy and effortless bars,” as stated by Billboard. The project went on to garner massive praise by fans and various publications including Billboard, OFFICE Magazine, The FADER, ET, Complex and more. In addition to releasing music, Pi’erre is the founder and CEO of his own SossHouse imprint–home to artists like Chavo and Sharc–and he recently wrapped up the U.S. leg of his headlining “The Purple Tour,” which included several sold-out dates. Pi’erre plans to take his show to Europe during the summer months.

With a wide-ranging experimental taste and talent to match, Florida emcee Cochise occupies an artistic universe that is entirely his own. Sharing a collection of spitfire verses and otherworldly rap songs, the 24-year-old shares ‘THE INSPECTION’, his most accomplished full-length album to date. As an expansive effort that alternates between buzzing synth melodies and distorted 808s, THE INSPECTION finds the emcee reconciling his life as a rising hip-hop star as he reaches new heights with superb production and unapologetic bars. Listen HERE. 
 
The new album allows Cochise to embrace an exploratory attitude that’s reflected by his creative & imaginative album cover. Cochise produced or co-produced most of the songs on the record and worked with his frequent collaborator Chivalry to bring the songs to life visually including the incredible new video for “FINALLY” and previously released “TURN IT UP”. Featuring star-studded guest appearances from Chief Keef and Young Nudy, THE INSPECTION is available everywhere via Columbia Records. Watch the “FINALLY” video HERE. 
 
“I was listening to a lot of music, well-constructed albums, albums that have a meaning to them and realized that I wanted to take my music to a serious level” says Cochise. “Rather than making music anyone can listen to or filler music, I wanted to make real music, something people would recognize and consume” when discussing the new album.
 
THE INSPECTION capitalizes off the momentum generated by Cochise’s success of 2021, in which he made major moves that helped him grow his audience to more than 5 million monthly listeners on Spotify. As one of XXL’s newly named 2022 Freshman, Cochise earned his first PLATINUM plaque and Billboard Hot 100 for “Tell Em” with $NOT racking over 31 million video views on the Cole Bennet-directed visual. Cochise showed off his live performance chops supporting Aminé’s Best Tour Ever tour, doing 16 dates across the US and at festivals like So What! Festival and Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash, while being recognized on publications like Wonderland, Miami New Times, FLAUNT and HotNewHipHop. In 2021, Cochise made his mark with his album Benbow Crescent, home to singles like “SANJI”, “Plasma” and GOLD-certified hit “Hatchback”.
 
Along with THE INSPECTION, Cochise releases a new line of merchandise which includes multiple goodies and t-shirt designs. Fans can purchase the new merch at https://cochiseofficial.com in the coming weeks, follow Cochise on socials for release dates.

Following an unforgettable appearance at Hot 97’s Summer Jam, Bronx rap phenomenon Dougie B unloads a fiery new single entitled “UZI” on all DSPS, today via Republic Records. Cinematic strings fuel the production as Dougie B tears right through the beat with a gruff and rapidly relentless flow. Primal intensity courses through the verses  before an explosive hook leaves nothing in the chamber. It illuminates the power of his one-two punch of drill energy and hip-hop technical prowess.

Piling up tens of millions of streams, he made waves on Kay Flock’s viral “Shake it” [feat. Cardi B, Dougie B, & Bory300], landing on the New York Times’ coveted feature The Playlist and one of Billboard’s “Best Songs of 2002 So Far.” Meanwhile, Huffington Post noted it “highlights New York’s ever-evolving drill scene.” Complex went as far as to crown him a “key player” in the New York Sample Drill movement.
