Joey Bada$$ Takes Aim at Kendrick Lamar, Ray Vaughn & More on Fiery ‘My Town' Diss Track: Listen
Update: Joey Bada$$ continues to empty the clip as he returns fire with 'Crash Dummy,' which finds him rhyming over 2Pac's 'Hit Em Up' instrumental. Joey Bada$$'s war of the words with the West Coast is heating up. The Brooklyn rapper returned fire on what was a busy Monday night (May 19) in hip-hop as Joey directed his attention at Ray Vaughn, Kendrick Lamar and more on his scintillating 'My Town' diss track.

'Don't make me Pulitzer, better be wise because/ I'm dottin T's and cross your eyes like Whitaker.' Joey had plenty of smoke for TDE's Ray Vaughn and sniped at AzChike, who threw his hat into the ring on Monday with his 'What Would You Do' diss track. 'Look, Ray Vaughn was so last week/ Now, I'm hearing s–t about some nigga named 'Ass Cheek'/ Who wanna be the next victim/ How many Top Dawgs will it take to sick 'em,' Joey spews. The 30-year-old pays homage to Cam'ron's 'Welcome to New York City' with his own spin on the Big Apple staple to close out the outro. Kendrick has yet to address Joey's shots, as the Brooklyn native previously taunted the Compton legend on 'The Finals' earlier in May. Ray Vaughn didn't waste any time in returning fire on Monday with 'Golden Eye,' which finds him rapping over 50 Cent's classic 'Back Down' instrumental. 'Vaughn Wick' jabbed at Joey Bada$$'s relationship with Diddy and claims that there's a video implicating Joey in crimes with the disgraced Bad Boy mogul. 'If you're standin' next to Diddy, then you shouldn't mention dick/ 'Cause if they ever show that footage, you gon' have to plead the fifth,' he raps. The explosives are still seemingly dropping out of the sky every hour as Daylyt returned on Tuesday (May 20), going after Joey on 'Ayo.' The Joey Bada$$ versus the West Coast battle began on New Year's Day when Joey gritted his teeth on 'The Ruler's Back.' He appeared to reignite the flame last week during the 'Red Bull Spiral Freestyle' alongside Ab-Soul and Big Sean. Monday brought about a barrage of lyrical missiles fired as AzChike, Daylyt, CJ Fly, Kai Ca$h, JaeWon, Joey Bada$$ and Ray Vaughn all exchanged diss tracks.

A Matthew Perry Shout-Out, an Andrea Bocelli Feature, and (Maybe Not) a Ye Track: Everything We Know About Lil Wayne's ‘Tha Carter VI'
Lil Wayne's Tha Carter VI, the next installment in his canonical series, will arrive on June 6. He was still finalizing the project when he played Rolling Stone a dozen or so songs in Atlanta for his new cover story. Wayne says that a key focus of the project was collaboration. 'If there's one thing about this album that's different, it's me approaching it like, 'Man, what would I sound like on something with such and such,'' he tells us. That mentality shines through in the array of artists he chose to collaborate with. Miley Cyrus and Bono are set to appear on Tha Carter VI. The U2 singer delivered the chorus on the reflective 'These Are the Days,' which also features Wayne's 15-year-old son Kameron. The song is from '2013 or 14,' Wayne says, recorded back when Kameron was a toddler.

The Fugee played a major role on the project, in fact, recording more than 30 tracks with Wayne during marathon recording sessions. 'You going to probably do like eight songs [with Wyclef],' Wayne says. 'He's going to keep flipping what you did on one [song] and make a whole [new] song out of that shit.' Wyclef also facilitated a song where Andrea Bocelli sang his famed 'Ave Maria.' Wyclef flew to Italy to get Bocelli's permission to sample the song, but when he told the tenor about Wayne's childhood near-death experience, Bocelli was so moved that he decided to record his part himself. (Wyclef contends that the track will 'stop time' upon release.) Along with their Carter VI work, Wayne and Wyclef are the nucleus of the Gumbo, an informal collective featuring New Orleans instrumentalists Jon Batiste, Ledisi, Trombone Shawty, and PJ Morton. Overall, Tha Carter VI is a testament to Wayne's malleable mic presence. He rhymes over different tempos and sonic moods, but sounds like himself on every song. Many of the tracks were untitled when Wayne played them for Rolling Stone. On one, he mimicked the cadence of Tupac's 'Hit Em Up' and Biggie's 'One More Chance' on two separate verses. Multiple tracks boasted Brooklyn drill production. Another song we heard was a sunny ode to 'cruisin' through L.A.,' where he shouts out the late actor Matthew Perry — Wayne tells us that he didn't know Perry, and the reference came after researching a name that fit the syllable space. Wayne even played some songs that his team later confirmed won't be on the album. One Ye-produced track — which may not make the final cut — sounded like it was made during his Vultures sessions.
