As the official onset of winter quickly approaches, the rap game comes through with another round of hot new releases to keep our ears warm. There’s a joint album from one of rap’s most polarizing figures, a collab tape between an Atlanta legend and a New Orleans rapper celebrating his freedom, an LP from a Queens MC in Dreamville and more to listen to.

Gucci Mane and B.G. Surprise With Joint Mixtape Choppers & Bricks

Christmas came early this month because the East Atlanta Santa and B. Gizzle just surprised hip-hop with Choppers & Bricks, their new joint mixtape. Gucci Mane and B.G. unite for their first collaborative project together. This marks B.G.’s first project since being released from prison in September after serving 11 years behind bars.

“Early Christmas Present for the streets me and @new_bghollyhood dropping our collab mixtape #ChoppersandBricks tonite drop a [blue ice face emoji] if y’all ready,” Guwop wrote on Instagram.

“Waaaahhhh … Early XMAS gift for all my Hot-Boys and Hot-Girls…If you love Real,Quality street music make sure you download me and my n[i]gga @laflare1017 new mixtape that drop TONIGHT #ChoppersAndBricks,” B.G. posted on his IG.

Last month, Gucci and B.G. delivered the song “Cold” produced by Mike WiLL Made-It. The 1017 leader traveled to Las Vegas to record the music video for the track.

The Atlanta rhymer offers a slick verse replete with gunplay. “I shot like a camera/I killed all the amateurs/55 6s is damaga/We don’t tote no Daringers/Go check the thermometer/We bloodied the furniture/We hit at his mama house/I heard it woke his mama up,” Gucci serves.

For his verse, B.G. is putting the past behind him, but won’t forget about what’s owed to him. “Smashed all my old beef/Snatched out my old teeth/One by one I’m comin’ to collect from everybody that owe me/Real killas they know me/Real street n***as know me/Betta be able to see your hands you ever try to approach me,” he raps in his signature voice.
