The Maybach Music boss toasts to the good life with Jadakiss while living in the lap of luxury. He stacks his paper, rolls dice in his palatial estate, and kicks it with some bad chicks.
Maybach Music Monday doesn’t stop. Following Rockie Fresh’s “God Is Great” and Wale’s “Poor Decisions” featuring Lupe Fiasco and Rick Ross, Rozay liberates yet another track off the upcoming Self Made, Vol. 3 compilation, due August 6.
On the Jadakiss-assisted “Oil Money Gang,” the MMG boss toasts to the good life as he raps over a lush beat, produced by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League.
Jadakiss salutes the grown folks on “Big Boy Dialogue” featuring The-Dream. The New York MC, who celebrated his 38th birthday this week, raps about the finer things in life and boasts about his status in hip-hop (“Top 5 dead or alive, no stoppin’ me”), while Terius lays down the sultry hook.

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.

With NBA All-Star Weekend in full effect, Jadakiss, Styles P, and Bow Wow team up to pay tribute to the Jumpman as part of the Jordan XX8 Days of Flight series. The rappers trade rhymes about the iconic kicks over the Jermaine Dupri-produced beat.
Other hip-hop stars including Big K.R.I.T., Bun B, and MC Lyte have also recorded songs to celebrate the legacy of Air Jordan and the forthcoming launch of the Air Jordan XX8.
DJ Khaled puts it down for the streets in the video for his hood anthem “I Did It for My Dawgs” featuring Rick Ross, Jadakiss, Meek Mill, and French Montana. Rozay stays posted in front of his Rolls-Royce, while a shirtless Meek spits his hot verse in the kitchen in the Spiff TV-directed clip. The song is the latest release from Khaled’s star-studded set Kiss the Ring.
Just days after joining T.I., Lil Wayne, Future, and Ace Hood in the video for “Bitches & Bottles,” DJ Khaled rolls out a sneak peek for “I Did It for My Dawgs,” another posse cut off his album Kiss the Ring.
In the Spiff TV-directed clip, the Cash Money DJ holds it down for his homies including Rick Ross, Jadakiss, Meek Mill, and French Montana.
The full video will premiere later today on “106 & Park.”
Hip-hop hooray. Fat Joe brings together his peers in the star-studded video for “Pride N Joy” featuring Kanye West, Miguel, Jadakiss, DJ Khaled, Roscoe Dash, and Busta Rhymes. Joey Crack shot the video in Brooklyn with famed director Hype Williams. Each of his co-stars came through the studio to film their scenes including his “What’s Luv?” collaborator Ashanti. And it wouldn’t be a Hype video without some voluptuous video vixens.
“I think hip-hop needs to see unity,” said Joe. “This whole song been about unity, bring back that De La Soul, that Tribe [Called Quest].”
