Kendrick Lamar's "Humble" is set to blast onto next week's Billboard Hot 100 (dated April 22) in the top five and perhaps pose a challenge to the chart's current No. 1, Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You," which has reigned for 10 weeks so far.

Following its first full week of activity, industry forecasters suggest that "Humble" could sell more than 125,000 downloads in the week ending April 6. When finalized streaming (likely in the range of 40-50 million U.S. streams in the tracking week ending April 6), propelled by the track's official video, and radio airplay (10-15 million in all-format audience in the week ending April 9) are added to the mix -- as the Hot 100 blends U.S. streaming, airplay and sales data -- the track should start in the top five on the April 22-dated tally.

One Dance has features.

Still counts as a Drake song, but if you mean solo all the way then yeah, Kenny has good chances to top him with one of his weakest singles

Recently there have been quite a lot reaction videos from Americans watching German Rap videos and being surprised about the heat, lol. Never thought I'd see that day. Here they're reacting to the Ufo track above:

You can say what you want, at the end of the day TDE artists' actual music and videos are always top-notch (besides Ab-Soul). How is Kendrick held back, though? His release rollouts haven't really been fucked up, as far as I remember, no?

I'm enjoying this Goldlink a hell of a lot more than I ever expected. Even the tracks that aren't as good as still a joyful listen. Probably better than The God Complex.

Same Clothes as Yesterday, Have You Seen That Girl, Meditation, Herside Story, Summatime, Roll Call, Crew, Kokamoe Freestyle, all top notch and all different vibes. I can't explain it, but it works because his rapping and musical style shows itself differently in all of them.

Not only a great release in Q1 which has already delivered pretty well, but honestly one of the most eclectic, cohesive, and consistent releases I've listened to in months and months.

EDIT: And at that, you can really hear DC in the music.
 
I think Jay Z has a lot of respect for/is a big fan of Frank Ocean, not necessarily for his music (which I'm sure he likes), but more for his business sense/drive (especially with that huge/controversial/ballsy move Frank pulled last year), you can tell from the way Frank Ocean talks about him as well and the references he's had for Jay in his music (like mentioning the advice Jay gave to him after his fight with Chris Brown on a track on Blonde), not to mention with Jay giving Frank that interview for his Apple Music radio show.
He probably see's a kindred spirit in Frank.
