Mac Miller & Schoolboy Q
Since Schoolboy Q’s appearance on “Geez”, a song off of Mac Miller’s 2013 effort “Watching Movies with the Sound Off”, the mutt and jeff of rap music so to speak have worked with each other constantly. From writing each other’s most recent albums to their more obvious collaborations, it is sometimes hard to distinguish between the two artists. With that said, Mac and Q come from different backgrounds, flow differently and affiliate with a diverse set of artists. It is hard to say what an album from the two would sound like, but most fans would agree on its potential.
Vince Staples & Jhene Aiko
When Vince and Jhene get on a song together, there is typically some special structure to it. The most recent release of these frequent collaborators was on Vince’s latest project “Summertime ‘06”, with the smooth, bass driven track “Lemme Know”. The low key tones the duo use in contrast to one another as they share lyrics and flows on this banger is genius. This collaboration solidified my interest in a Jhene Aiko/ Vince Staples album.
Kendrick Lamar & J. Cole
Since before Kendrick Lamar’s burst to fame with his noteworthy “Good Kid, Maad City” album, him and J. Cole teased fans with the possibility of a collaborative album. Three years later, the two have built themselves up to the new Biggie and Tupac of rap (hopefully, not to suffer the same fate). Kendrick also confirmed back in April the two would be making an album. K. Dot and J. Cole are in the perfect positions in their careers right now to link up for an album because of how successful both “2014 Forest Hills Drive” and “To Pimp A Butterfly” were. This is an album we cannot wait to see fruition.
