A new studio LP from Megan Thee Stallion released last month titled Traumazine. This album includes additional contributions from Latto, Sauce Walka, Dua Lipa, Future, Jhené Aiko, Lucky Daye, Rico Nasty, and more. Houston emcee Houston delivers a new visual from his album for “Ungrateful” a collaboration with Key Glock which is dedicated to anyone who is unappreciative of his love and loyalty:
In the accompanying video clip for “Ungrateful,” Megan Thee Stallion is seen in lingerie singing her rhymes from the comfort of her bedroom. Then she picks up Key Glock, who raps his verse despite heavy rains during a funeral she attends.
A recent appearance from Megan Thee Stallion revealed some of the more emotional aspects of Traumazine:
My feeling is that it is the softer side. You know, a side of things most people never see. It seems like we are so tough all of the time as female artists and especially as Black women. My feeling is that we’re always working hard in our music. In a world where we’re taught not to be too vulnerable and open, and not to involve too many people in our business. However, I feel that sometimes the world needs a little more of that.”
Two years have passed since Megan Thee Stallion released her debut studio album Good News, which featured 17 songs and features by City Girls, DaBaby, Lil Durk, Popcaan, SZA, Big Sean, Beyoncé, 2 Chainz, and Young Thug. After 100,000 first-week album equivalents were sold, Good News peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 – Meg also achieved Platinum status for the album.
There has been an influx of releases from the Houston talent since then, including the mixtape Something For The Hotties, as well as loose cuts such as “Sweetest Pie” and “Plan B.” Other songs she has appeared on include Ariana Grande “34+35 (Remix),” Lil Nas X “DOLLA SIGN SLIME,” Juicy J “SHE GON POP IT,” Maroon 5 “Beautiful Mistakes,” Lil Baby “On Me (Remix),” Bankroll Freddie “Pop It,” DJ Khaled “I DID IT,” DJ Snake “SG,” and Shenseea “Lick.”
A new single from Megan Thee Stallion, “Pressurelicious,” has arrived (July 21), featuring Future and the kind of confident, adult-themed topic matter that these two are known for (“I am stomping on hoes so hard, I’m knocking them out like Mario tokens”). The track is expected to dominate both the radio airwaves and club dance floors as with previous releases.
The VR music tour “Enter Thee Hottieverse,” created in collaboration with AmazeVR, has been in theaters for several months. Quest 2 headsets were used for the virtual event, which allowed attendees to watch Megan perform in real time. Additionally, they had the opportunity to enjoy Megan’s music videos and interact with other local fans. If you are interested in participating in the futuristic event in your area, you can find upcoming dates here.

A brand new single is released today (July 8) by the Brooklyn star entitled “Paris To Tokyo.” Led by the Brooklyn star and accompanied by The Kid Laroi, the track features an interpolation of Far East Movement’s 2010 hit “Rocketeer”:
In the years preceding B.I.B.L.E., Fivio kept his fans well fed with a number of top tier singles, including “Self-Made (Freestyle),” “Unruly,” “Trust,” “Creepin” and “Story Time” alongside Rowdy Rebel, “Bop It,” “13 Going On 30” alongside Polo G, “Move Like A Boss,” “Fully Focused (Freestyle)” featuring Young M.A. He also provided his unique tracks for the likes of the late Pop Smoke, French Montana, DaniLeigh, Russ Millions & Tion Wayne, Drake, Sleepy Hallow, Calboy, Nas, Nicki Minaj and more.
In the wake of her new single, Millie Go Lightly unveiled her latest offering “Saddle Up,” a collaboration with Will Keating and Acoustic Trap Morgan O’Connor. While taking a step away from hip hop, Millie’s latest release demonstrates her incredible range and versatility as an artist while bending genres. “Saddle Up” marks the beginning of The Good, The Bad, And The Beautiful, a new album by Millie Go Lightly. Aside from that, the upcoming body of work will be based on the artist’s experiences in Nashville.
She got lightened up in the past few years by aligning herself with Young Thug’s Young Stoner Life collective and the Atlanta music scene. There are several songs she has contributed to during that time, including SG Tip, Real Recognize Rio and Lil Harold “Down Bad” Lil GotIt “Take Care,” Thugger “Family Don’t Matter,” and Landstrip Chip “Wraith.” Also, she has released some killer songs of her own Lil Keed, “Make You Better” and “Jealousy” featuring Rylo Rodriguez alongside Unfoonk, and “Ocean Deep” are only a few examples.
According to Millie Go Lightly’s past interview with The Hundreds, Young Thug inspired her to do what she did:
When I was working in London with a producer who was working with Frank Ocean, I was working with this producer. When I was a kid, I bought beats off the internet and wrote to them when I was at home. It was therefore my pleasure to send these to everyone, including London On Da Track, who at the time was on tour with Thug. The email was sent to him, then Thug heard it. The ‘HI-HORSE Tour’ was taking place at the show. My first meeting with him was upon arrival and I began working with the same people as before.
