Is it 2017 all over again? Dej Loaf & Jacquees link back up to complete our childhoods with a sequel from their fan favorite âF*ck a Friendzoneâ project. The first collab mixtape dropped on February 10, 2017, with the leading club smash, âAt The Clubâ. It was remotely impossible (still is the case) to go into any club without hearing that song.
Years later, the duo linked back up and dropped the single, âJust Another Love Songâ which will be on F*ck a Friendzone 2
Earlier this year Dej Loaf made an appearance on Jacqueesâs mixtape âCome Back to Meâ on the track âIf Iâ which had a very similar bop to At The Club. If itâs not broke, donât fix it right?
After a few years apart, the two artists are diving back into the creative process, blending Jacqueesâ smooth R&B vocals with Dej Loafâs unique blend of rap and melody. Their reunion has generated significant buzz, with fans eager to hear what this duo will create in 2024. This long-awaited collaboration promises to be a musical treat for their dedicated audiences.
Dej Loaf has been extremely low-key in recent years, with little new music released since her 2017 album Liberated. While she has teased new material and occasionally shared snippets on social media, fans have been eagerly waiting for her next full project. The Chicago rapperâs absence from the spotlight has left a noticeable gap in the music scene, especially considering her breakthrough with hits like âTry Meâ and âBack Up.â Despite this silence, her loyal fanbase remains down and READY for a comeback, anticipating that when Dej Loaf does return, it will be with a fresh, impactful sound that reaffirms her unique style.

Adrian Wojnarowski, the former lead NBA reporter for ESPN, stepped down from the role earlier this year to become the general manager of his alma materâs menâs basketball team, St. Bonaventure. In a new interview, Wojnarowski, lovingly referred to as Woj by his colleagues and readers, shared that heâs been diagnosed with prostate cancer and is monitoring his health carefully.
Woj sat down with Sports Illustrated and shared with the publication what his next steps in life are after many years as ESPNâs top NBA insider. Woj was one of the leading sports reporters covering the NBA due to his ability to obtain breaking news ahead of other outlets and his sources offered reliable tips that led to published stories.
In the SI piece, Wojnarowski does reveal that while the diagnosis was indeed jarring, it wasnât the reason he stepped away from his coveted role at ESPN. Instead, he framed it as a moment of clarity.
From SI:
The prognosis, Woj says, is good. âWhen you hear cancer, you think about it going through your body like Pac-Man,â Woj says. âProstate cancer, it generally stays confined to your prostate and is typically slow growing.â He has no symptoms and says the cancer is âpretty limited in scope.â Active surveillance is the current treatment, which translates to quarterly checkups and regular monitoring. Heâs been instructed to improve his eating habits, exercise more and get better sleep. Surgery is still a possibility, but for now doctors say the only reason to have it is if he canât mentally deal with having the cancer inside him.
The sobering news aside, Wojnarowski also stated that he intends to enjoy life more and realizes that time is fleeting. One of his former ESPN colleagues, NFL insider Chris Mortensen, died in March of this year from throat cancer. After attending a memorial service for Mortensen in Arkansas this past May, the moment hammered home to Wojnarowski how unimportant the job was in comparison to spending time with loved ones.
âIn the end, itâs just going to be your family and close friends. And itâs also, like, nobody gives a sh*t. Nobody remembers [breaking stories] in the end. Itâs just vapor,â Woj said.
Amen to that.

As everyone shares their top 5 most-streamed songs and artists of the year, some interesting stats have emerged. The Weeknd has been crowned the most streamed male artist on Spotify for 2024. Not R&B, not pop, most streamed male artist.
That is huge.
We have curated a list of songs from the Canadian superstar that will make you a fan. Yes, for the peanut gallery, we have added some âold Weekndâ to the list. XOâs Starboy is one of the artists that many people hold their early discography near and dear to their hearts while neglecting the new music. We are here to help you get why he is the most streamed male artist out right now (via Spotify).
5. âAfter Hoursâ
âAfter Hoursâ might not be as hyped as some of his other hits, but itâs a vibe you need. The track has this smooth, dreamy feel with a darker edge. Itâs about regret and trying to fix a broken relationship. The beat and The Weekndâs vocals make it a perfect late-night jam, whether youâre driving or just chilling in your feels. If youâre into that melancholic vibe with a catchy hook, this oneâs for you.
4. âComing Downâ
âComing Downâ is another underrated gem that blends smooth beats with deep emotions. The track talks about messy relationships, regret, and trying to figure out where things went wrong. Itâs got a mellow vibe with some serious 80s influence, but still sounds modern. Abelâs voice on this one really hits, and the slow, haunting instrumental makes it perfect for those late nights when youâre just vibing.
3. âSecretsâ
âSecretsâ is one of The Weekndâs most complete tracks that doesnât get enough love. Itâs got this smooth, almost mysterious vibe, with Abel singing about toxic relationships and trying to keep things low-key. The production is slick, with a bit of an 80s influence, and the hook is so catchy itâll have you singing along. The songâs got that balance of darkness and groove that makes it stand out in his discography.
2. âBelong to The Worldâ
âBelong to The Worldâ is a serious mood. The beat is hypnotic, and The Weekndâs voice flows through it like butter. The track touches on themes of love, power, and vulnerability. The XO artistâs lyrics tell the story of feeling torn between fame and the woman he loves. The trackâs a little more experimental, with those heavy, atmospheric beats that make it stand out. If you want something a little more emotional and intense, this oneâs for you.
1. âI Was Never Thereâ
âI Was Never Thereâ is arguably one of The Weekndâs most slept-on tracks. The vibe is so chill, yet itâs packed with emotion. The song deals with the feeling of being emotionally distant and disconnected, even though youâre physically there. Itâs a perfect balance of haunting and beautiful, with Abelâs voice cutting deep into the theme of lost love and regret. This track shouldâve been a bigger hit, but itâs still one of those secret treasures for real fans of his work.
