A new episode of The Weeknd’s Beats 1 radio show “Memento Mori” aired this weekend, and the show was an absolute gold mine of new music. The Weeknd’s manager Amir “Cash” Esmailian premiered a bunch of new songs by some huge hip-hop names, and one of the most notable tracks was “Murda,” a new collaboration between Travis Scott and Gucci Mane.
During his verse, Gucci made some NBA references: “So many rings, think I got off right, this a ball with Michael / Just like Steph Curry, in a hurry to win another title.” Meanwhile, Travis Scott got braggadocios and name-dropped Rick Ross: “Diamonds heavy husky like my jeweler name was Rick Ross.”
Scott and Gucci have a rich history of working together. Scott featured on Gucci’s 2016 track “Last Time,” and they both also appeared on the GOOD Music song “Champions,” on Young Thug’s “Floyd Mayweather,” and on Usher’s “No Limit” remix.
