Yup, Algernod’s got another album coming whether you like it or not. Here he explains how a popular TV show influenced one of his new songs.
“I got a song right now called ‘First 48,‘ ” the Florida native revealed. “It’s wrapped around the whole TV series ‘The First 48 Hours.’ I’m telling you on the record: ‘Everybody is a goon until they catch a case/ When the detectives get to the talking/ All that gangsta shit fades away/ The first 10 minutes, dog, you started off straight/ Detective applied a little pressure, you turn around and break.’
“That whole situation for me, that intro, I’m sitting here watching TV, and I didn’t know it was that many unreal dudes still left in the streets,” he continued. “I just focused on that situation. That’s one of them records on my album I call ‘choir rehearsal.’ I know everybody is gonna sing it every time I perform it.”
Should be interesting. Plus, Goon Affiliated is the first album where Plies is gonna let other rappers get their special guest on. We’re on the hunt for them names first.

Man, this drop from Masspike Miles is seriously smooth from start to finish. The Road Less Traveled totally delivers on that signature R&B vibe, and the production choices across these tracks are just insane. It honestly feels more complete than a lot of full-length albums out right now. Tracks like "Devoted" with Bun B and the title track hit different when you are just cruising around the city late at night. If you are heading out to grab the physical copy or hitting up a late-night listening session across town, trying to flag down reliable taxi services can sometimes be a real hassle, so planning ahead definitely saves the mood. Overall, this project proves why he is such a vital part of the Maybach crew. Definitely keep this one on repeat for a while.
