Young Thug has been enjoying his newfound freedom for quite some time now and upon his release he was immediately seen in the studio with the likes of Lil Baby and Future and now we’re getting the fruits of their labor and it looks like they got a banger on their hands.

Linking up in the new visuals for “Dum, Dumb, and Dumber,” Lil Baby, Young Thug and Future pull out the big boy toys and get their Fast & Furious on while flashing big bags of cash and pounds of ice while Thugger flaunts a Doctor Doom-ish mask and a tarantula on his head?! We would say prison changed that man but he’s always been on some next sh*t.

Back in Brooklyn, some Hip-Hop OG’s represent for the older heads and in the clip to “Medina,” Smif-N-Wessun and Pharoahe Monch show love to the youth and spread love the Brooklyn way.

Check out the rest of today’s drops and some joints you might’ve missed over the weekend including work from Murda Beatz and Rich The Kid, Roc Marciano and DJ Premier, and more.

It was an epic night of surprises as Opium took over day 2. Billboard was everywhere at Rolling Loud Los Angeles. And of course, from the vibes to interviews with the artists and seeing them onstage, we take you there in Billboard All Access. Before fans took over the night, we had to do a vibe check.

It’s amazing, man, we love LA. We love being out here. We love the fans here. I mean, the energy’s amazing. Weather is great. Can’t beat it.

Tetris Kelly: 

And we talked to some of those performers before taking the stage. Hanging out with BLXST at Rolling Loud. Man, you’re an LA native, so tell me how special it is to play this festival.

BLXST

It’s a beautiful thing, man, we live in Inglewood. A lot of songs I made was right down the street, so to be here is really an honor, honestly. 

Tetris Kelly:

They lit up the night. And once Playboi Carti took the stage, he brought even more big names over, and we closed the weekend with The Weeknd. Thank you Rolling Loud!

What do you think of their new song “Banshee”? Let us know in the comments!

FloyyMenor:
Hi, welcome to the set, Billboard! You already know who we are — we’re on set with J Balvin. 

J Balvin:
Hi, my people! I’m J Balvin.

Shooter:
Roll cam and action. 

FloyyMenor:
Both of us work well together — we have chemistry in the sense of writing music. We wrote it super quick. It was really easy for us to connect — he called me on Instagram, we met up in New York in the studio. I was with my producer, who was with the studio, and the chemistry was great and the song came out really quick. 

J Balvin:
What’s up, my people. This is J Balvin. We have a great view of the horizon from New York City, the Big Apple. We’re shooting the video with FloyyMenor. Chile and Medallo, Colombia, are in the house. Latino gang, let’s go! Creating the song came about in a really natural way honestly. We set up the song, and sent it to him because we had the sound that he does in mind. In fact, we recorded it here in New York and we sent it, and he loved it.

How are you? It’s so great to see you and everyone. Are you guys doing OK?

FloyyMenor:
Excellent.

J Balvin: 
He came to the studio, we recorded it together and that was really cool because it wasn’t just me sending him the song, but we had the opportunity to share the experience.   

Keep watching for more!
