I have to pose a question. Who had the better lollipop flip? Was it Drake and party next door with third track CN Tower? Or was it Young Michael's latest track, What's Up? But then, you know what I'm saying? I was like, damn, look at the state of hip hop. Like, what's going on? As when we get into the 42nd most popular track in Mexico,

You have to realize that when it comes to interpolating, sampling, and artists of Little Wayne status in music, there's all type of checks and balances that you have to overcome to even make it on DSPs. Because of course, like we saw with the Juice World situation, and I believe it was steam, he ended up sampling. If you do not go through the correct route as far as getting it cleared for the track, they will take everything that that track earned. It's going to be exactly like Andrew Garfield off of the network. They're not coming for half. They're coming for everything. So I would assume that young Michael definitely went through the legalities as far as putting out this interpolation of Lil Wayne's lollipop. As if you don't know, young Michael, which is a Latin trap musician, once again, another genre-less or genre-bending artist that showcasing the evolution.

of technology to be influenced from places and genres that you otherwise wouldn't of without the advancement of technology but anyways with that being said young Michael is under wave music previously known as Kiwi media group and essentially there are South Korean entertainment company focused primarily on K-pop so how they ended up getting an artist like young Michael is very interesting as when you listen to it and of course with young Michael and ultimately her collaborative efforts through putting out music under the wave music, which if you go to What's Up, that's currently going crazy on the charts,

you can see the Wave music group at the bottom of the single What's Up. So I do believe that with their marketing strategies and them branching out of the K-pop scene to get a Latin musician, because if you don't know about Young Michael, So just know that originally she had a breakout project back in 2022 that was titled Trap Kitty as far as that gaining a lot of sound cloud momentum. But when it comes to the wave music being in the South Korea and then when it comes from when it comes to young Michael being from Puerto Rico, you come to realize that not only can other major labels outside of your region help you out in their specific region that they're

specialize in as far as marketing but they they can also help you out in your hometown as in twenty twenty four young michael reached number 11 on billboard's top latin albums with her album titled a tt so with that being said she has been openly a queer artist and she's more of a bilingual type of lyricist and if you listen to the track what's up you come to realize that she has flows on flows if there's one thing i can notice especially being a connoisseur of the hip-hop genre is that people who put words together and have oats and have different flows that they go to on the same beat usually that lends them to be under the mantra of a lyricist as if you're rapping is one thing but if you're flowing along

with the beat and then when the beat changes a little bit and now you have a whole different flow to attack that type that section of the beat I think that's the due diligence you have to have the lyric is to not make it stale because at some point the lyrical miracle spiritual is going to wear off but the way that young michael flows throughout this entire track using new flows for the second verse using new flows for the first verse in the second half of the first and second verse um it really switches it up to the point where young michael added her own flare to this particular track to the point where i would say and propose the question once more who do you think had the better Lollipawley Poo Flip, Young Michael with What's Up or Drake and Party Next Door with Cian Towers.

Now, of course, when it comes to Young Michael and her latest single, just know she does have albums and other tracks out as far as the year of 2025 because, well, her last album was 2024, which went number 11 on top Latin albums. but as far as singles she had a track out with ladeo carillon titled amg that came out April 2nd she had a track with Russian and Omar quartz and clarence and that came out March 13 so she's put out two other singles this year besides actually three other singles this year besides her her main single but they're all with other artists like her third one was Truino, her third one was with the artist Truino that was titled in La City.

That came out April 10th. But as far as her latest track, what's up? That's out now on all DSPs solely by herself that's rising on the charts to the point where it's the 42nd most played track in Mexico. Make sure to click my link true in my bio. Let me know on one of my social medias. What do you think about Young Michael's latest track? What's up?

And who do you think had a better lollipop flip? Drake or Young Michael? Thank you.
