It was back in February that Fredo announced that the sequel to his 2018 mixtape Tables Turn would be released. As he released “Everybody Knows” last Thursday (June 8), the rapper gave fans a taste of what the record might have in store for them. It is a turn-of-the-century hip-hop track with retro production produced by Roddy Beatz and Young Chencs reminiscent of the turn of the century in hip-hop. It is clear that the West London emcee hasn’t forgotten his street roots on the infectious cut, on which he recounts his gritty street life and hard-earned wealth as he raps about his past on the street.
Fredo gives us a glimpse of his entrepreneurial skills in the video for his song “Everybody Knows,” directed by Suave, as he shares his experiences as the part owner of the sneaker retailer Kick Game, that has expanded its operation into many different cities throughout the United Kingdom since it was established in 2013. Through the course of the video, the independent rapper guides viewers through his product warehouse, takes them along to business meetings with his peers, and shows off the fleet of cars that he keeps on hand for his leisure.
On the 28th of August of 2021, Fredo released his third studio LP under the name Independence Day, the first album he released since leaving RCA Records. During the creation of this project, fourteen tracks were recorded and additional features were provided by Clavish, Potter Payper, Headie One, and Sus. Throughout this period of time, Fredo has continued to keep his momentum going by releasing well-received songs, such as “Dave Flow” and “I’m Back.” In addition, he has also been able to provide his unique style of bars to Clavish “Monday To Sunday” and Dave “In The Fire.”

With the help of certain soulful cuts over the last year, KIING has made some serious waves with songs such as “Disconnected,” “Gotta Work,” “CYL,” and “War 4 U.” As part of KIING’s ongoing commitment to change, the R&B collective recently dropped a new track titled “Mood” that was produced by Trey Livin and S3LIM and sees them sending messages to their respective loved ones.
“Mood” includes a video that can be viewed on the song’s official website, which captures the quartet showing off their dance moves in a studio. Additionally, the Ryan Malcolm-Campbell-directed video gives viewers a unique glimpse behind the scenes of the overall production, providing an overview of how it was put together and the supporting team who came alongside it.
The group, which includes members Berkley, Jax, Jade, and Asha, KIING (which stands for intelligence, kindness, notorious, independence, and greatness) originated with LaurieAnn Gibson, an iconic multi-talented artist. Furthermore, Gibson has choreographed performances for Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, and Michael Jackson, among others. However, she is best known for her work on the MTV show “Making The Band,” a show that was also known to have featured Sean “Diddy” Combs in the role of producer as well as launching the careers of Danity Kane, DaBand, and DAY26. In addition to his achievements, the Canadian-born trailblazer has also served as a judge on FOX “So You Think You Can Dance.”

In just a few days (Feb. 3), Jamaican rapper Skillibeng and Florida rapper Nardo Wick teamed up with the aim of releasing a new single titled “16CHOPPA.” The track, in line with the duo’s pasts, is filled with hard-hitting bars discussing both their lifestyles and oft-violent pasts.
This newest release from Skillibeng follows up a December release called I’ll Never Die – The Prodigy Edition, which boasted 10 songs from assorted artists including Kyoka and Rich The Kid. In addition to his recent releases, the star of “Crocodile Teeth” has kept his fans well-fed with his well-received EP Mr. Universe, as well as a series of notable free drops and collaborations, including “blessing me” featuring Mura Masa, “Pree” featuring Popcaan, “Rain” featuring Shenseea, “Whap Whap (Remix)” featuring Fivio Foreign and French Montana, and “More Fire.”
Moreover, in 2022, Nardo also released the deluxe edition of his debut studio album in partnership with Caspian, titled Who Is Nardo Wick? , an album consisting of 31 tracks as well as features from a wide range of artists, including The Kid LAROI, BIG30, 21 Savage, Future, Lil Durk, Lil Baby, Latto, and more. Recently, he has collaborated with Babyface Ray, BIG30, and G Herbo in the song FaZe Kaysan “Plenty.”
A short while ago, Skillibeng talked to On The Radar Radio about his status as a musical frontrunner in an interview that I have included above:
“I’m not bragging, but… As of today, it has been over three years since I’ve been dubbed as Jamaica’s most talked about artist both locally and internationally,” he stated. “Since I’ve become the most talked-about artist for a couple of years now, and everybody is dying to know what I’m doing, they’re all asking, so what’s this kid all about?’? Who is Skilled?'”
In addition, he explained, “I think I am the leader of the new generation based on the stats and what the evidence shows. It seems like a lot of my flows have been stolen by others, don’t you think? Some of my techniques that I teach in interviews have been stolen by younger artists, they are stealing my moves, they are doing what I teach them, and that is stealing my talent as well. I am grateful to them.”

Luh Tyler has been on a roll ever since he released his first episode of the popular TV show “Law & Order” in November. Having just carved out his niche in the hip-hop scene as a very dynamic artist in Tallahassee, it hasn’t been long until he continues to build back up his momentum with viral cuts like “Back Flippin,” “I Got A Dollar,” and “Can’t Move Wrong” featuring Trapland Pat, “A Day In The NOYA” featuring LOE Shimmy and “Hollywood” featuring DTE Lil Dayday.
Continuing his rise to fame, Luh Tyler continued his emergence with a new single “Dennis” on Friday (3rd of February). In the song, the producers include Flex, FOREVEROLLING, and Rizzo. Throughout this song you will find a lot of bars describing how to get money, how to get women, and more, much like previous ones. The lyrics include:
“Dennis” also comes accompanied by a video, which was filmed by CottoOverDidIt and Herve Mompoint, which shows you the making of the video. The video begins with Tyler riding shotgun next to a woman in an old school droptop, then transitions to Luh Tyler riding shotgun with a woman in a convertible. A blend of claymation style effects and real footage is also used so that viewers can see this 16-year-old basketball star performing in MVP mode while an enthusiastic crowd cheers him on while he is on the basketball court.
The following is Tyler’s explanation of his beginnings in the music business, which he gave in an interview with Dirty Glove Bastard (above):
“As I heard my friends talking about it and things like that, I just felt like I had to try it on for myself and that is what I did. At first, I wasn’t a huge fan of her sound. Honestly, I was not a huge fan of her sound as well. To be honest though, I wasn’t overly enamored with what I heard. … I gradually began to take her seriously when I realized that she had become my second mother, and I had to respect her as such.”
