gucci mane & 2 chainz- “good drank (live)”
On Monday night’s (February 27) episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the stage was lit with a performance of “Good Drank” from two of Georgia’s finest, Gucci Mane and 2 Chainz. Backed by famed producer Mike Dean, Fonz Bentley, The Roots, and a gospel choir, the pair delivered the Hibachi For Lunch track without a hitch. Watch it above.

keyshia cole f. french montana & Remy Ma – “you”
After releasing her inner beast on Nicki Minaj with the diss track, “SHETHER,” Remy Ma now jumps on Keyshia Cole’s “You” along with French Montana. With elements of P.M. Dawn’s “Set Adrift On Memory Bliss,” the track offers an R&B-influenced vibe while Remy spits lines like, “I can be a foul bitch/fuck your whole life up,” as the song goes on about infidelity. Montana gets a jab in there with, “A real one hold you down like a real army/But I picked the wrong one/like Steve Harvey.”
juelz Santana f. French montana & Cam’ron- “dip’d in coke”
Expected to arrive on The Get Back mixtape, Juelz Santana’s new single “Dip’d In Coke” finds French Montana and Cam’ron along for the ride. Whether it’s an ode to cocaine or a just a play on words to flex their solidarity as “Coke Boys” is up to the listener, but all three artists easily ride the Harry Fraud and Maaly Raw beat. The forthcoming mixtape should arrive this week.

Rhymesayers stalwart Brother Ali finally resurfaced with some new music in the form of a video for “Pen To Paper” on Monday (February 27) and has quickly followed up with “Own Light (What Hearts Are For),” the second offering from his newly announced album, All The Beauty In This Whole Life.
