Gaining momentum as an artist to watch, East-side Tampa Bay rapper Rublow just unleashed a new song entitled “No Weight” out now via Cash Money Records. Get it HERE.

He locks into a breathless flurry as he reflects on his journey so far, “Put on the gas, ain’t taking no break, came up from nothing and made me a way.” Right out of the gate, he showcases his punchy lyricism and powerful rhymes. The track arrived today with an official music video made available to watch HERE.

Need to learn more about Rublow? Want to know how Los Angeles impacted his grind? Say less.
Like shifting lanes at high speeds, Rublow seamlessly switches up his flows and patterns as he fuses massive modern melodies with old school-style bars. Sporting the dexterity of a prizefighter, the Tampa, FL rapper dips in and out of hard-hitting storytelling and hypnotic hooks, introducing himself as a vital and vibrant voice for the South in the process. Surrounded by music as a kid, he absorbed inspiration from a multitude of angles. His grandmother Kitty Daniels stood out as a celebrated pianist and performer who notably accompanied the likes of Ray Charles, James Brown, and many more. She imparted her love for the instrument on her grandson by teaching him how to play at a young age. At the same time, his father spun a wide variety of records, ranging from Sizzla, Culture Club, Queen, and a-ha to 2Pac, The Notorious B.I.G., and Jadakiss. Adopting this diverse palette, he made music intermittently before taking rap seriously at 16-years-old.
He eventually hopped a flight to Los Angeles and held down a temp job at UCLA. During this time, he crossed paths with early fan and award-winning Noomi Rapace [The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, Prometheus] as well as model, actor, and artist Anwar Hadid who enthusiastically championed him. Hadid posted Rublow’s “18 and Running” on a social media story, kicking off a friendship and creative partnership. Building buzz, he co-wrote and featured on “KISS!” from Hadid’s 2019 debut album, Bleach. Meanwhile, he also unveiled solo singles “Wishing Freestyle,” “Rublow2x,” and “Dumb Dumb” and gained traction, catching Slim’s attention and signing to Cash Money Records. Now, he kicks off this next era with his debut single “Blow Muzik.”

Birdman puts big respect on Lil Wayne’s name
Baby hit up his Instagram page to share a snapshot of Wayne’s ‘Lollipop’ classic being certified 10 times platinum. Needless to say, Birdman’s caption properly showed his thoughts on Wayne compared to the rest of the rap game.
‘Tha best ever no cap @liltunechi #STUNNAMAN tha best to ever doit CEO #YMCMB🦅 #RG⭐️ @cashmoneyofficial #dontlie’
Birdman: Baby definitely has an opinion on the Top 10 rap label CEOs list
Cash Money Records boss Birdman is still running the rap game whether we realize it or not. So it’s no surprise he’s at the top of the 10 rap label CEOs power list but he has some feelings about who is directly behind him.

Baby isn’t feeling the Top 10 rap label CEOs list
The Louisiana native hit up his Instagram page to share a snapshot of the Top 10 rundown. Birdman suggested a little shake-up being necessary including the addition of Atlanta rap heavyweight Gucci Mane securing a spot.
