[FRESH ALBUM] Top Dawg Ent - Black Panther: The Album - HipHop

I'm someone who keeps up with the trends in the Soundcloud/Youtube rap game, and i like to think that I am pretty well informed on who's starting to pop-off, who's next, etc.

So I noticed this rapper Comethazine awhile back, and honestly i've been a big fan of his music. Its nothing special, but he makes some nice soundcloud-ish trap bangers that i can dig.

Well today I saw some people tweeting about one of his new songs that had reached #1 on the Soundcloud charts. But wait a minute, i've been following this guy, and I've never seen him get more than like 200k plays on a song. That's weird.

I go and look and sure enough his new song called "Bands" is #1 on Soundcloud. 10 million plays in the last 15 days, and 3.5 million plays this week (https://soundcloud.com/sound_clout_xxx/comethazine_bands_bounce_out_with_that_tay_k_after_you_keke_gummii_gummo_kooda_lil_skies_nowadays_roll_in_peace).

That is really strange, especially considering that his new song "Fuck Me in My Jag" was dropped with a music video on Worldstar 5 days ago, and currently sits at 75k views. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzgSW0bdZiI Where's the disconnect here?

Then i figured it out.

YBN Nahmir just posted the official link to his new song "Bounce Out With That" (which has gone viral over the last two weeks with around 20 million views on youtube). https://soundcloud.com/nahmir205/ybn-nahmir-bounce-out-with-thatprod-by-hoodzone

The original version of Bounce Out With That on Soundcloud has been changed to what is now "Comethazine-Bands." This song is now at the top of the Soundcloud charts: https://soundcloud.com/charts/top

The original song on Comethazine's Soundcloud has around 200k plays: https://soundcloud.com/comethazine/bands

This is the strangest thing I have ever seen, and really shows that if you release only a music video on youtube and not Soundcloud/other platforms, (which is fairly common practice nowadays with the rise of Lyrical Lemonade, etc.) you can find that one of these random soundcloud accounts has your song positioned on the Soundcloud charts. The first person to post the song on Soundcloud can gain traction and some power over the song's position on the Soundcloud charts.

These soundcloud accounts such as the one that posted this, are fairly common: https://soundcloud.com/sound_clout_xxx

Did Comethazine pay this soundcloud account to change Bounce Out With That to his song? Did they get in trouble for the copyright from YBN Nahmir's team? I have no idea but this is weird.

Thoughts on how this impacts the Soundcloud game going forward and rap as a whole? Thanks for reading my pieced together explanation.
