Bad Boy Records' French Montana recently talked about the importance of Diddy to his blossoming music career and hinted at how big of a comeback Remy Ma has in store for the world.
With a few years under his belt at Bad Boy, Montana credited Diddy for helping guide his career.
“Diddy is the biggest influence in my career,” he said. “He’s a big brother and he’s somebody that helps me not make the same mistakes. He prevents me from doing dumb sh–. … He definitely helped me to make a couple million already.” (NY Daily News)
French also dished on how much he rides behind fellow New York rapper Remy Ma.
“Shout out to Remy she just came home,” he said. “I knew Remy for over 10 years.” In a male dominated industry that seems to only make room for one or maybe two Queen lyricists, the “Gifted” rapper is confident that Remy, a Grammy-nominated emcee, is set to reclaim the throne. “She’s one of the most talented rap female artists I ever met,” he boasted. “It’s her time right now and she’s about to take over.” (NY Daily News)
Prior to the music video premiering, Montana’s new “Don’t Panic” track landed online last week.
Of course French Montana’s public romance with Khloe Kardashian doesn’t mean the music was suddenly on the backseat. Mac & Cheese 4 is on the way, and today (Aug. 11) sees its first single. “Don’t Panic” comes with DJ Mustard on the beat. DJ Mustard is still on a roll here with his starry key riff and burping, get-your-a**-off-the-seat bass line. (XXL Mag)
While the LP is not due until November, Montana recently said he had actively pieced together his long-awaited Mac & Cheese 4 studio release.
“[It will be] Mac & Cheese, and it’s like a follow up to all my mixtapes that I had. I got Kanye on the album, I got will.i.am on the album, I’ve got Durk on the album and Chinx,” he revealed. And what’s it been like working with Yeezy? “I love it — we’ve been working on his album and mines so we’re just going back and forth.” So far, French says that they’ve banked about five tracks, and it seems like we’ll be hearing the first one on his project.
