I can’t wait for Jared McCain to go viral for rapping SGA’s new song word for word on Tik Tok.

Spotify billboards promoting Shai Gilgeous-Alexander have been spotted in NY and LA. The billboards feature a quote similar to SGA’s Instagram captions/lyrics: “I ain’t even peaked yet, this is just a heat check.” The promo says Heat Check coming soon. Is it a song? 🤔

BigXthaPlug’s TAKE CARE was the third highest selling hip-hop album of 2025. Right behind Playboi Carti’s MUSIC and ahead of Lil Baby’s WHAM. So how come so many people still seem to be unaware of his commercial success?

I like BigXthaPlug’s BETTER OVER TIME album. BigX has been putting out good music that sells well for a few years. I’ve had convos with prominent tastemakers who only seemed vaguely aware of his music or how successful he is. Are tastemakers sleeping on BigXthatPlug?
