Most people are still buzzing about Nicki Minaj’s venomous diss track “No Frauds” with Lil Wayne and Drake, which she revealed late Thursday (March 9) night. While her “#3PackFromParis,” which also features “Regret In Your Tears” and “Changed It,” continues to make waves across the industry, the DX Digest for Friday (March 10) instead focuses on Talib Kweli and Styles P’s new video for “Last Ones” and Rick Ross’s “Trap Trap Trap” single with Young Thug and Wale from Rozay’s forthcoming album, Rather You Than Me.
Hanz On’s posse cut with Method Man and Ghostface Killah, “Smoke Like We Do,” Devin The Dude’s “Acoustic Levitation,” and Daylyt’s “Polygamy,” which he dubbed as a response to Nicki and Remy, follow closely behind. Music from RaRa and T.I., A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie and Kodak Black, Jurassic 5’s DJ Nu-Mark, Yellow Claw and Quavo, and CyHi The Prynce also usher in the weekend.
