At midnight last night, Lil Yachty premiered his second official project, Summer Songs 2. The 14-track project includes features from G Herbo and Migos rapper Offset, as well as a handful of his friends. It also includes a track named “For Hot 97,” where Lil Boat attempts to prove to a doubtful Ebro that he really does have bars. Simultaneously, the Atlanta rapper premiered a new mini-doc that he created with FADER, Keep Sailing. Cop Summer Songs 2 on iTunes here, and check out the doc below.
(Photos) Clearly, Young Metro Trusts The FADER
Welp, looks like FADER mag can put away their bulletproof vests. They’ve obtained the trust of young Metro Boomin, and thus he appears on the cover of their April/May 2016 issue. Thanks to Future rapping the now-infamous tagline, the successful producer is now seeing a lot more mainstream fame, and is even selling his own merchandise. Sitting down with FADER, he discusses how he OJ The Juiceman was the first rapper to give him a shot, how his mother was so supportive she’d drive him roundtrip from St. Louis to Atlanta weekend after weekend so he could work with OJ, how he’s working on Views From The 6 and more. It’s a REALLY great read.

(Video) Fetty Wap & His Mom Explain His Eye In More Detail (Plus – Find Out How The Drake Collab Came About!)
As he was leaving Fallon last night, TMZ cameras stopped Fetty Wap, and asked him about his eye. Though he’s already explained why he only has one, Fetty included some new details we haven’t heard before, and Mama Wap was there to co-sign. (He’s also speaking SO much clearer than he has in previous interviews – a sign of what was likely some lovely media training!) He also spoke with FADER yesterday, and explained how the Drake collab came about:
Drake reached out through Instagram, Fetty said. “He sent me a DM, and I sent him my number. When I landed from Tampa a couple of days ago, and as soon as I landed and turned my phone off of airplane mode, he was FaceTiming from DC where he was playing ‘My Way’ at a club. He was like, ‘Yo, I want to cut the record tonight.’ Next thing I know, I checked my email and it was there.”
