Release First Single featuring Kevin Gates
Longtime collaborators Trademark Da Skydiver and Young Roddy are
like brothers, and on their new full-length collaborative project, Family Business,
the duo gives their legions of diehard fans the album they’ve been
waiting for. As prominent members of the Jet Life crew, Trademark and
Young Roddy were prominently featured on every track on Jet World Order
and Jet World Order 2, which were both massive independent successes.
Throughout the years, they’ve also collectively worked with a
large caliber of A-list artists including Curren$y, Dave East, ScHoolboy
Q, Juvenile, Freddie Gibbs, Dizzy Wright, and Styles P, just to name a
few. However, Family Business marks the first full-fledged
collaborative album by the two New Orleans MCs. The announcement for the
album was made today via XXL.
On the first single from Family Business, Trademark and
Roddy are joined by fellow Louisiana native Kevin Gates as they give
listeners some valuable advice – “Don’t F*ck Around,” or “DFA” for
short. “DFA” is a smooth banger produced by Wes King featuring
remarkable verses from each artist. Young Roddy told XXL, “It was dope
to get back in the lab with my bro Trademark and complete the album Family Business
just like the old days and it was real of Kevin Gates to come thru with
a verse for the home team. Louisiana's making moves.” Trademark also
shared a similar sentiment, remarking, “It was a blessing to be in a
position to work with an artist like Kevin Gates, that doesn't happen
every day so I appreciate the opportunity. Much respect to him. I talk
to Roddy every day, that's my brother since day one but we haven't put
out a project together in a minute so I'm excited for us and the people
who have been patiently waiting for this.”
Family Business also features guest appearances from Cozz,
Mick Jenkins, Smoke DZA, Le$, and LeeLee Haxi. Trademark Da Skydiver
& Young Roddy’s new album Family Business hits stores worldwide on December 2nd via The Barnes Corp / GOOD$ENSE / iHipHop Distribution.
