Uncle Murda delivers his yearly reminder of all the crazy things hip hop celebrities encounter this year. Coming off a tour with 50 Cent, the six minute track Rap Up 2023 touches base on the headlines and dramas surrounding the music industry. The track doesn’t shy away from any controversial subjects, tackling issues such as Remy Ma allegedly cheating on Papoose, Keke Palmer’s claims of abuse against her ex Darius Jackson, and Jamie Foxx’s “medical complication,” which Murda suggests may be related to “bad coke.
Don’t forget Boosie Badazz and T.I.’s tumultuous relationship, Lizzo’s sexual harassment lawsuit, and Blueface’s claims are a few discussed in the song. Murda also references a sex tape involving Sexyy Red and offers advice to the artist, urging her to take precautions to avoid STDs. The ongoing tension around the YSL RICO trial is addressed, with Uncle Murda calling on Young Thug to clarify the allegations that Gunna is a “snitch.” However, one delicate subject left untouched is the string of sexual assault lawsuits filed against Diddy. Uncle Murda hints that he “might” address these in an upcoming “part two” of the song. Listen to the official audio below.
