00:19We've got another very exciting episode of Billboard News.
00:24Let's jump in.
00:26Here's three things you need to know in hip hop.
00:28With all the diss tracks between Drake and Kendrick Lamar,
00:31fans are wondering if Kendrick's Not Like Us
00:33is going to top the charts.
00:35But when it comes to both rappers' catalogs,
00:37a winner in the battle is clear.
00:39Kendrick Lamar's back catalog is up 49%
00:43following the Weekend of Beef,
00:44while Drake's is down 5%.
00:47Dang, Drake's hotline ain't blinging no more?
00:49We'll have to see if we're getting a new king of the charts.
00:52And new music is coming.
00:54Ice-Spice has teased Gimme a Light out Friday.
00:58Stop playing with them, Ryan.
01:00Hotbox in the V-Light, gimme a light.
01:02Megan Thee Stallion is on her way with BoA.
01:06Now that you've read the rules, are you ready to play?
01:09And Money Long is taking her viral hit
01:11to the next level with Mariah Carey.
01:20Chills, that's clearly gonna be triple diamond in my house.
01:24This is amazing designer.
01:27They're Asian and everything, so yeah.
01:29And lastly, Cardi B was under fire
01:31for not knowing the name of her designer at the Met,
01:33but she will always clear her name.
01:36So, when I was getting interviewed,
01:39I kind of forgot to pronounce the designer's name
01:43because his name is a little bit complicated,
01:45so I was like, damn, how to pronounce his name?
01:49My mind was just racing.
01:50I love Cardi.
01:51You guys have no idea how hard it is
01:53to remember complicated names sometimes.
01:55Leave her alone.
01:57If you're excited for tomorrow's Friday Music Guide,
01:59Ryan Castro's got a treat for you.
02:18Colombian superstar, Ryan Castro,
02:20sat down with Billboard for an interview
02:22ahead of the release of his new album
02:24to talk about how far he's come.
02:41His latest dream is this album
02:42featuring some big collaborations,
02:44including Ark Angel on the Focus track.
02:52The album, fittingly called El Cantante del Ghetto,
02:55or The Ghetto Singer,
02:56is inspired by his humble upbringing in Medellín
02:58as he reflects on what those streets taught him.
03:23For more on the album, check out Billboard.com.
03:26When you think of heavy hitters in country music,
03:28Lady Wilson is the top,
03:30which is why she's on the cover
03:32of Billboard's Country Power Players issue.
03:35You know, I've been sacrificing a whole lot for a long time.
03:38I've been at this since I was 19.
03:41Wrote my first song at nine years old,
03:43and I feel like I've been sacrificing things since then.
03:46At the end of the day, I've noticed that, you know,
03:48the challenges that I've been facing
03:51the challenges never go away.
03:53They just change, and that's just life.
03:56And you just, you roll on with it.
03:58You roll your sleeves up and do what you gotta do.
04:03Back in 2017, I had a friend say,
04:05if I could describe your look and your sound,
04:08it would be bell-bottom country.
04:11And as that thought developed,
04:13it became more of kind of like a lifestyle.
04:16I think that's really important to do.
04:17Be proud of who you are, be proud of where you come from,
04:20be proud of the way you talk, the way that you dress.
04:23That ties into my music.
04:25And so I knew that that record needed to be called
04:28bell-bottom country because there were bits and pieces
04:30all throughout the record
04:31that encouraged leaning into your story.
