Quality Control rapper Lil Baby's career is growing up right before our eyes. For his latest act, he taps Drake for the heavy-hitting new track "Pikachu (No Keys)."

rappers were in attendance at. Lil Baby later added more fuel to the fire when he tweeted: "Imagine Me And Drake Droppin A Song."
The song was premiered Saturday night (May 12) on OVO Sound Radio. Produced by Wheezy, the menacing in- strumental features rumbling bass and cinematic chords.
The Festival is always full of surprises but Future kicked it up a notch during his perform- ance on Sunday (May 13) when he brought out Nicki Minaj, Young Thug and Chris Brown.

Out of nowhere, Andre 3000 blessed the masses with two brand new tracks on Sunday (May 13). The two songs are ti- tled “Me&My (To Bury Your Parents)” and “Look Ma No Hands.”
Dre is clearly on a different vibe with these two cuts, which both have a jazzy feel and are sans any rapping. “Me&My (To Bury Your Parents)” is like a trip back in time for the Atlanta rap legend and an ode to his late parents.
He and Outkast mate, Big Boi were also together over the
