Dave East & Vado: It's hard-hitting bars with 'DeNiro & Pesci'

The artwork is classic. The title? Super classic. So pairing up Dave East and Vado - a couple of New York rap heavyweights on the same track for their ‘DeNiro & Pesci’ tune? Tough.

It’s all types of must-hear and the audio gem goes hard from start to finish. Tap in on the fun.

2/3 of The Council (which includes Dave East, Lloyd Banks & Vado) have just released a new single, “Deniro & Pesci,” which serves as a prelude to Dave East and Vado’s forthcoming collaborative album which will be released in the first quarter of 2024. 

Vado just graced the third member (Lloyd Banks) of The Council’s Halloween Havoc IV: The 72ndHR, and was recently featured on Mary J. Blige’s new single “Still Believe In Love,” which was the #1 added song this week on R&B Radio.

“V and I have been locked in for the longest, that’s family, it's only right we team and up do something for the town” Dave East asserts.  “2/3 of The Council are back with more heat, and just wait until we drop the album” Vado adds. 

The NBA 2K Producer Series has officially arrived for NBA 2K23

Low-key? I honestly play NBA 2K23 daily - to the point it’s honestly the first game I play on either the PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X. I am a stationary bike fanatic so if I am biking, I am gaming goals at the same time and there’s endless content continuously happening with NBA 2K. The latest addition? How about the NBA 2K Producer Series?

From the series launching for submissions to getting a new ‘Dope Boy’ song courtesy of New York rapper Dave East? Yup - it’s safe to say no other basketball game comes close to how much of a must-own this newest 2K release is. Peep the full-fledged details and catch me in an online match.

Today, the NBA 2K Producer Series officially opens for submissions, giving fans the opportunity to showcase their best rhymes using beats from some of the leading producers in music. The first entry of the NBA 2K Producer Series features a beat by Grammy Award-winning producer BoogzDaBeast, and future producers include Chris “Big Duke” Malloy, Marcos “Kosine” Palacios and JohnG. 

The NBA 2K Producer Series allows players to record their own verses over the beat while playing through the game and share it on social media.
