Glacier Boyz Gucci Mane, Migos & Lil Yachty Reunite For a Game of ‘Solitaire’

Reuniting for their newest release, Gucci Mane taps Migos and Lil Yachty?for “Solitaire.”

The track is said to be the first single off Gucci’s forthcoming album Evil Genius. EG is the follow-up project to the rapper’s latest album El Gato: The Human Glacier.

Produced by Da Honorable C.N.O.T.E, “Solitaire” sound is reminiscent of an 80’s video game.

“I was just sittin’ in a cell playin’ solitaire/Now they see me everywhere, brush they full of solitaires/Solitaire, solitaire, neck, ear, solitaire,” Gucci spits.

Quavo and Yachty follow his lead.

“Bitch I don’t play no solitaire, I’m a fuckin’ millionaire/Trap stars everywhere (trap)/Bad hoes everywhere (bad)/Right wrist quarter million dollars, that’s no lie/Left wrist, all Piguets, I put it in the sky,” Yachty raps.

Quavo sparked thoughts on a potential group name as he posted and later deleted a tweet hinting at a new group name for the trio: Glacier Boyz.

Gucci later confirmed a project between Migos, Yachty?and himself with a?simple response. “Brr #GlacierBoyz coming February.”

DJ Khaled – Top Off Ft. Beyonc?, Jay-Z & Future

First Rihanna shocked the world with her bars on N.E.R.D’s ‘Lemon,’ and now Beyonce takes center stage by spitting a mean sixteen for DJ Khaled’s latest single, “Top Off,” featuring Jay-Z and Future.

Future kicks off the luxurious collaboration with a high life hook, insisting, “I took the top off the Maybach.” Hov supports the Atlanta rapper with some back and forth before launching a fierce first verse.

“Screamin’, “Free my nigga, Meek Mill” / Niggas can’t wheelie in this free world,” Jay-Z leads. “Meanwhile Georgie Porgie sinnin’ and sendin’ me threats / Save your breath, you couldn’t beat a flight of steps / Try that shit with a grown man / I’ll kill that f*ck with my own hand / And hop back in the coupe (woo, woo).”

After another hook run from Future, and a God-body intro from hubby Jay-Z, Beyonce steps to the plate and “breaks the Internet” with a soulful, braggadocios arsenal of lyrics, fit for a Queen.

“I’m the only lady here, still the realest nigga in the room /?I break the internet, top two and I ain’t number two,” she declares. “My body, my ice, my cash, all real, I’m a triple threat /?F*ck it up and then leave, come back, f*ck it up and leave again /?Top off the coupe and it look like Freaknik /?In the hood, hollerin’, “Free Meek” / Two deep, it’s just me and JAY.”

“Top Off” will appear on DJ Khaled’s upcoming album,?Father of Asahd, due out soon.
