Atlantic Records

'2009' is an elaborate 10-year challenge in the form of an album.

“My fans really do make me feel special.”

“I just feel like, keeping it 100, I should just be bigger and be pushed more.”

"It's all strategy and you can't mess up someone's strategy..."

“Oh and did I forget to say I’m now 100% independent?”

"Money" is the first of several bonus tracks that might be released over the next three months.

"Mom raps for the club."

Rico Nasty is taking over hip-hop, one unfiltered banger at a time. Here's everything you need to know about the shapeshifting DMV rapper.

The Louisville rapper continues forging his identity on his Atlantic debut.

"I want him to be something bigger."

Even Cardi's rags-to-riches story is a modern distillation of the American Dream, and what could be more quintessentially New York than that?

This is his story...

In the latest installment of Audiomack’s Trap Symphony, the Highbridge MC performs his buoyant hit “Say A.”

The DC veteran is now indie.

“I'd seen people attacking Atlantic on numerous occasions. I understand, but it's about how you handle your business.”

He says the veteran record label will "steal your soul."

"That old New York sound ain't the New York sound no more."

"Unless you’re a humongous artist and you’re doing pop songs and hit songs, it really sucks."
