The Bizness Drops Bilingual Trap Anthem “Dicen Que Son” with Lil Wayne (@LilTunechi) & Daiz

The Bizness continues to break boundaries with the release of his latest single, “Dicen Que Son (They Say They Are)” — a bold fusion of West Coast hip-hop, reggaeton, and Latin trap. Seamlessly blending the gritty lyricism of American rap with the pulsating beats of Medellín, Colombia, the track delivers a genre-defying sound that bridges cultures and continents. Produced in collaboration with Valco and featuring an unforgettable hook by Daiz, both of the acclaimed Latin group Las Nubes, “Dicen Que Son” is a masterclass in cross-cultural collaboration. The track showcases The Bizness’s versatility, pairing Spanish and English lyrics over infectious production that pays homage to classic West Coast flows while pushing the boundaries of Latin trap. Adding fire to the track is a show-stopping guest verse from hip-hop legend Lil Wayne, cementing “Dicen Que Son” as a powerful anthem that speaks to authenticity, identity, and global influence in modern music. With this release, The Bizness solidifies their place at the intersection of Latin and American hip-hop — proving that borders mean nothing when the beat hits just right. “Dicen Que Son” is available now on all streaming platforms.

FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS

Snotty Nose Rez Kids

As the first Indigenous group to win a JUNO Award for Rap Album/EP of the Year (2025), the Snotty Nose Rez Kids are a First Nations hip hop duo composed of Haisla rappers Darren "Young D" Metz and Quinton "Yung Trybez" Nyce who are originally from Kitamaat Village, British Columbia. In 2023, they signed with Sony Music Entertainment Canada and released their sixth studio album—and first major label debut—RED FUTURE in 2024. Following the release of RED FUTURE, the duo embarked on a 35-city North American tour. Known for their high energy and electrifying performances, they played over 70 shows last year across Canada, the U.S., Mexico, Australia, the UK, and the Netherlands. Their live presence has also led to performances at major sporting events, including games for the Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Canucks, and Toronto Raptors. Celebrated for their artistry and impact, they have earned six JUNO Award nominations, four Polaris Prize Shortlist placements, and a SOCAN Award among many other accolades.  

Shub

For over a decade, Shub (formerly known as DJ Shub) has been at the forefront of a movement that reshaped the landscape of Indigenous electronic music. A trailblazer who coined the powwow-step genre and a former member of the JUNO-winning A Tribe Called Red, Shub has spent years blending the ancient rhythms of powwow music with the pulse of modern beats, scratching, and bass-heavy production. With a new name and vision, Shub is stepping beyond the DJ booth—emerging as a composer, storyteller, and renowned artist.

What Happened to Female R&B Group TLC?

 


TLC was on the top of the world, and it was assumed that they were making it big. They were critically acclaimed and had much commercial success. Even now, "CrazySexyCool" remains the only album by a female group to receive a diamond certification (in other words, they've gone platinum 11 times).

How Jay-Z Killed His Own Clothing Brand

 


Jay-Z sold the rights to the Rocawear brand to Iconix Brand Group for $204 million. Jay-Z will retain his stake in the company and will continue to oversee the marketing, licensing, and product development.


If you were a fan of hip hop in the late 90s and early to mid-noughties, then Rocawear will need no introduction. Items from the fashion label, co-founded by rapper Jay-Z, were as common a sight in music videos as groups of scantily-clad ladies popping bottles of Cristal in a hot tub.

Lil Wayne Shares His Top Five Rappers

 


Lil Wayne, whose list is quite a doozy, containing both the expected picks and some left-field surprises that actually make sense when you consider his own unique approach to the art of rap. Wayne gave his answer in a special edition of What’s Wright? With Nick Wright, a podcast version of the Fox Sports personality’s popular show.


Almost as well known for his affinity for hip-hop as Wayne is for his sports referencing raps, Wright offers his own list (a pretty humdrum collection including the usual picks: Jay-Z, Tupac, Wayne himself, Kanye West, and T.I.), which Wayne says he respects. Then Wayne starts off his own list with a pick that far too few people include for my taste, Missy Elliott. Vindication!
