NEW RELEASES
Maxo Kream has shared another music video for a song from his latest album, Personification. This time around, it's for the track, “Triggaman,” featuring Denzel Curry. The music video features maximalist direction, with flashing lights and constant cuts, showing Maxo and Curry rapping alongside one another. In their respective verses both Maxo and Curry make references to several iconic villians throughout cinema history. They include Darth Vader, Freddie Kruger, and more.
Fans in the comments section on YouTube are loving the collaboration. “This song goes crazy Denzel one of my favorite rappers no cap,” one user wrote. “Mexican OT would of went crazy on this also & maxo always killing it.” Another added: “Another insanely fire verse from Denzel Curry. Man doesn't miss.”
Denzel Curry is just one of several hip-hop artists to appear on Maxo’s Personification album. He also worked with BigXthaPlug, Tyler, The Creator, and more. He previously spoke about how he narrowed down who he would collaborate with during an interview with Wonderland.
He told the outlet: “I just hit up all my rapper friends, and whoever fucked with me hopped on that motherfucker, and how they was rocking like me and Denzel was overdue. So 'Trigga Man' fit him [Denzel], you know, OT, Big X, Tyler, me, and Tyler got sh*t in the vault. This was something I pulled out of the vault.”
Maxo Kream dropped Personification as his fourth studio album back in November of last year. It marked his first album since 2021's Weight of the World.
As for Denzel Curry, he's winding down his tour in promotion of his latest project, King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2, which he dropped in July 2024. Maxo Kream also appears on that album for the song, "Set It." Other artists on the tracklist include ASAP Ferg, 2 Chainz, Kenny Mason, Project Pat, Ty Dolla Sign, Juicy J, Ski Mask the Slump God, ASAP Rocky, and several more.
Anyone hoping Tyler The Creator is about to release a full jazz album may want to lower their expectations. The Odd Future founder has long incorporated jazz elements into both his music and production style. No matter which creative direction he chooses for a project, traces of jazz can be heard throughout much of his discography. Because of that, many fans have spent years wondering what it would sound like if he fully embraced the genre for an entire album.
Recent hints have sparked speculation that new music could be on the horizon. However, when an Instagram account suggested that a "new era" was approaching and claimed Tyler would dive further into his jazz influences, the rapper quickly dismissed the rumor. "not at all lol and do not get stuck on this idea please," he responded.
One reason fans began theorizing about a possible new project was a subtle update to Tyler's Instagram bio. According to Complex, the bio now says, "Satchmo, Sag Harbor," a phrase that appears to reference Louis Armstrong's famous nickname, Satchmo, as well as Sag Harbor, New York, a village known for serving as a refuge for Black families during the Jim Crow era.
While there is still no confirmation that Tyler will release new music this year, fans can look forward to the return of Camp Flog Gnaw. The annual festival is scheduled to take place in Los Angeles on November 14 and 15. As is tradition, the full lineup has not yet been announced, but Tyler's attention to detail and track record with the event suggest attendees will have plenty to be excited about.
We will continue sharing any developments involving Tyler The Creator as they emerge. In the meantime, fans remain hopeful that new music will eventually arrive as a follow up to Chromakopia and Don’t Tap The Glass. Check out his comments above and let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
