“We need to figure out how we are going to live in a time of plague,” said one doctor.
The 52-year-old was also known for his songwriting for the TV series Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
As a way to combat his possible boredom during coronavirus quarantine, Guapdad 4000 developed a new way to collaborate with his fellow rap friends: He launched his Rona Raps series. With help from fans, Guapdad 4000 would pick a beat, send it to his friends while he and one collaborator would rap over the beat on video. The video is then sent back to Guapdad, who would then merge the videos into one. Having kicked off the series with Buddy a couple of weeks ago, Guapdad returns with not one but two fellow rappers for his latest episode.
Episode three finds Guapdad 4000 taking on Luniz’s “I Got 5 On It” alongside Denzel Curry and Wiz Khalifa. Sporting a Pikachu beanie, Guapdad leads the way, as usual, with a verse of his own, before lending the mic to Denzel, who delivered a clear message about social distancing and, quite frankly, staying away from him. Things close out with Wiz Khalifa sharing his own verse, one that featured a reference to the wild faces Sean Garrett made during his songwriter battle with The-Dream, several weed references, plus a quick tribute to Nipsey Hussle.
In addition to the collaborative rap series, each Rona Raps episode, dropped every Friday, is followed by the release of a new song from Guapdad, with the latest release being “Dolce Gabbana Dali Lama.”

Rich The Kid delivered his third album, Boss Man, early last month — his first official project under the Republic Records helm. Originally 19 tracks in length, Rich The Kid has followed the recent trend of updating an album after its release, whether it be for a small tweak or to add a new song. His latest update adds one song, bringing the total up to 20 tracks.
Extending the song by only 45 seconds, Rich The Kid updates the track “Stuck Together” with some help from Future. Arriving just a month after the album, the song is another in a productive period of music that also included his contribution to Kyle’s “YES!” and a new video for “Red.”
On the record, Future doesn’t rap about anything beyond buying jewelry for the women in his life while reestablishing his position his the rap game. He even alludes to his viral video alongside Young Thug, raping, “If she mine then she rockin’ Philippe/That ain’t me she belong to the street.”
In addition to the updated version of “Stuck Together,” Rich The Kid also rearranged the order of songs to give a new feel to the album.
You can hear “Stuck Together” in the video above.
