For the Thursday (March 2) version of the DX Digest, Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert and Quavo “Go Off” on the number one track of the day and Future hits the Ellen stage to deliver a spotless performance of “Incredible.” From there, Snoop Dogg gives his word with the West Coast-flavored banger “Promise You This” and Vince Staples’ contribution to Snoh Aalegra’s beautifully composed “Nothing Burns Like The Cold” also make the list. There’s another Snoop offering with Faith Evans’ new behind-the-scenes video for “When We Party,” as well as music from Wale, Ace Hood, Tuxedo, and Asher Roth. We’ve also thrown in a tantalizing teaser of Dave Chappelle’s two upcoming Netflix comedy specials, which are expected to arrive on March 21. With Friday right around the corner, HipHopDX helps usher in the weekend with a handful of carefully curated selections.

Travis scott f. lil uzi vert & Quavo – “Go off”

Travis Scott, Quavo of Migos and Lil Uzi Vert quite literally “Go Off” on their new collaborative single taken from the forthcoming movie, Fate Of The Furious, the eighth installment of the long-running film series, which kicked off in 2001. The accompanying soundtrack, simply titled The Fate Of The Furious Album, is packed with music from notable rappers like Young Thug, J Balvin, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and PnB Rock. The film hits theaters nationwide April 14. Listen to the second song from the album above.

future – “incredible (Live)”

Future stopped by Ellen on Wednesday (March 1), where he performed “Incredible” for the predominately “suburban housewife” daytime audience. Backed by DJ Esco, Zaytoven and a live band, he sailed through the standout HNDRXXsingle and even got a few cheers and claps. Future’s next move is the Nobody Safe Tour, which begins May 4 in Memphis, Tennessee.

Snoop dogg – “promise you this”

Snoop Dogg does not hold back on how he feels about people asking him for favors on “Promise You This,” which finds the self-proclaimed Snoop Eastwood indeed laying down the law. The song most likely comes from a yet-to-be-revealed new project (fingers crossed).

The two have worked on songs like “Señorita” and “Emotional” in the past. Their musical chemistry is evident on each track.
