Dep is honored and reignited with the release of their new single \u201cCount On It,\u201d available now via DNA Music\/HitMaker Distro. \u201cCount On It\u201d commemorates the fifth anniversary of Black Rob\u2019s passing, as the two former Bad Boys deliver a statement rooted in loyalty, history, and timeless street perspective.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCount On It\u201d is the first offering from the duo\u2019s forthcoming collaborative album, Black &amp; Depper, which is set for release later this year. Built on the chemistry that defined their early work, the track reflects the authenticity that made both artists essential voices during the golden era of Bad Boy Records.<\/p>\n<p>Vibrant contributors to Bad Boy\u2019s rise at the height of its cultural dominance, Black Rob and G. Dep helped shape a defining era in hip-hop. Black Rob emerged as a street narrator with undeniable presence, releasing two albums on the label and delivering one of its most enduring hits with the undeniable anthem \u201cWhoa.\u201d Beyond his solo work, he also appeared on albums from his fellow Bad Boy label-mates The Notorious B.I.G., Mase, G. Dep, and Diddy, while also contributing to remixes for 112, Total, and Faith Evans.<\/p>\n<p>G. Dep\u2019s debut album, Child of the Ghetto, was an introduction to his vast talents, and the project featured appearances from Diddy, Rakim, Kool G Rap, Shyne, Black Rob, Carl Thomas, Mark Curry, and Loon, with production from Sean C, Amen-Ra, Diddy, EZ Elpee, Mario Winans, and Chucky Thompson. Notably, G. Dep remains the only artist to have both Rakim and Kool G Rap appear on the same track \u2014 a testament to his respect across generations of lyricists.<\/p>\n<p>With \u201cCount On It,\u201d that legacy is brought forward with purpose. The single stands as more than a release \u2014 it\u2019s a reflection of brotherhood, perseverance, and the lasting imprint of two artists whose contributions continue to resonate.<br \/>\nBlack &amp; Depper will expand on that foundation, offering a deeper look into the chemistry, history, and shared perspective that defined Black Rob and G. Dep\u2019s connection and chemistry.<\/p>\n<p>You can now Purchase, Stream, Add and Favorite \u201cCount On It\u201d at your preferred <a href=\"https:\/\/lnk.site\/1\/countonit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DSP<\/a>.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"226307\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/black-rob-g-dep-count-on-it\/black-rob-g-dep-count-on-it-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Black-Rob-G-Dep-Count-On-It-1.avif\" data-orig-size=\"1600,1200\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Black Rob &amp;#038; G Dep &amp;#8211; Count On It\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Black-Rob-G-Dep-Count-On-It-1-1024x768.avif\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Black-Rob-G-Dep-Count-On-It-1-540x405.avif\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-226307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Black-Rob-G-Dep-Count-On-It-1-540x405.avif 540w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Black-Rob-G-Dep-Count-On-It-1-1024x768.avif 1024w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Black-Rob-G-Dep-Count-On-It-1-768x576.avif 768w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Black-Rob-G-Dep-Count-On-It-1-1536x1152.avif 1536w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Black-Rob-G-Dep-Count-On-It-1.avif 1600w, https:\/\/blackouthiphop.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Black-Rob-G-Dep-Count-On-It-1.avif 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ufeff The legacy of Black Rob and G.
