Tyga

Tyga takes us on a trippy ride into the future in the Colin Tilley-directed video for “Molly” featuring Wiz Khalifa and Mally Mall. The imaginative clip, dedicated to the popular party drug, features robots, UV lights, and pills. Tyga transforms into half-man, half-robot, while his co-star Wiz fills his lungs with reefer in the club.

The song will appear on Tyga’s album Hotel California, available Tuesday. In addition to Wiz, the guest list includes Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Chris Brown, Future, 2 Chainz, and Jadakiss.

New Music: Tyga f/ 2Pac & Jadakiss – ‘Hit ‘Em Up’

Hit Em Up

Tyga resurrects Tupac on “Hit ‘Em Up,” a posthumous collaboration off his new album Hotel California. The DJ Mustard-produced track samples the hook from C-Murder’s “Down 4 My Ni**az” and includes a previously unreleased verse from the late West Coast legend.

“A lot of people think it’s a remake of ‘Hit ‘Em Up,’ his song—which it’s not a remake, it’s original,” Tyga told MTV News of the song, which borrows its title from Tupac’s 1996 Biggie diss. “When you’re talking about ‘Hit ‘Em Up’ you ain’t really dissing nobody, but you lettin’ it be known that you don’t rock with certain people.”

New York MC Jadakiss also makes an appearance, but Tyga originally had plans to feature another rapper. “I wanted Nicki to be on the song at first and then we never did it, so then I went back to the song later,” he said.

Due April 9, Hotel California also features collaborations with Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Chris Brown, Future, 2 Chainz, and Wiz Khalifa.

Take a ride on the west side with T-Raww and Tupac.

New Music: Tyga f/ Chris Brown – ‘F**k for the Road’

Fuck for the Road

Life on the road can be hard on a relationship. Tyga apologizes to his girl for his absence on “Fuck for the Road,” his latest collaboration with Chris Brown.

The Young Money MC tries to make it up to her by buying her Rolexes and Louis Vuitton bags, but realizes it may not be enough to keep her happy. Before saying goodbye, there’s one last thing he must do.

“It’s no way I could pay you back, but my plan is to make you understand,” raps Tyga, while Breezy sings the hook on the slow jam. “But if you leave, there’s something I can’t control, so let’s do it one last time and fuck for the road.”

Due April 9, Tyga’s album Hotel California also features Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Future, 2 Chainz, Wiz Khalifa, Jadakiss, and Tupac.
