At the moment, IDK is touring with Pusha T as part of Pusha T’s “It’s Almost Dry Tour.” On October 28, the Maryland-born singer-songwriter treated fans to “Monsieur Dior,” a beautifully crafted single. In this track, samples are taken from “Huit Octobre 1971” from the French jazz band Cortex, a band which is well known to hip hop fans as part of MF DOOM’s “One Beer” record. A video accompanying the song “Monsieur Dior” includes clips of IDK at Howard University’s Homecoming as well as Dior’s show at the Paris Opera House as the lyrics provide a soundtrack to his incredible experiences:
The Simple album was released back in May by IDK and Kaytranada, and it featured eight tracks and only two features, which were from Mike Dimes and Denzel Curry. It was preceded by a well-received lead single featuring Denzel Curry, titled “Dog Food,” which was released prior to the album’s release. As a result, fans have been able to get a glimpse of the official videos for a number of tracks from the project, including “Dog Food” and “Breathe.” However, shortly afterward, the rapper who was described as “shooting my shot” returned to delight fans with two more smooth songs, “Drive” and “Free Slime,” which eventually culminated into an EP he titled W13.
Within the past few weeks, TikTok has been dominated by viral trends where users recount their crazy years over a sped-up version of “Spread Thin” by Mariah The Scientist. Although the song was released back in March, the Atlanta-born singer appreciated the recent attention paid to the song enough to release its official music video yesterday (October 25). As her lyrics are played over various vlog clips of her year thus far, she has created a visual ode to the TikTok trend.
Mariah released the song along with an acknowledgement to those who had already been singing along for several weeks before it became viral. “I would like to thank my fans that were riding this stuff before TikTok!” “I created the video to reflect what your year was like based on your responses to our song,” she wrote on Twitter.
RY RY WORLD was Mariah’s last album before she passed away in 2021. Young Thug and Lil Baby both contributed to that body of work through their appearances on ten different tracks. According to the press release, the “Spread Thin” singer is currently on tour with Rod Wave in support of his “Beautiful Mind Tour.” Her most recent collaboration was with Dess Dior on her song “Stone Cold.”
It wasn’t long ago that Bino Rideaux released the official follow-up to his fan-favorite project of 2019: Sorry 4 Tha Wait II. Artists who contributed to the album, including Ty Dolla $ign, Kalan.FrFr, Coot Corleone, Roddy Ricch, and the late Drakeo The Ruler who appeared on 13 songs on the album. Regarding visuals, fans have had the opportunity to watch videos for “Tied To Me” and “Outta Line” with Ty Dolla $ign.
A new track from the West Coast rapper Bino Rideaux was released yesterday (October 24) called “DEAD FACES.” Doe Boy provides an assist and Elkan and Gibbo provide the production. The lyrics of the song provide a profound insight into the effects of dealing with traumatic losses:
As far as Doe Boy’s activities are concerned, he released his CATCH ME IF YOU CAN EP back in July. The album was released with nine tracks and a guest appearance by G Herbo on “SET IT OFF.” Before that, in January, he released OH REALLY, a 19-song collection that featured contributions from Roddy Ricch, 42 Dugg,Nardo Wick, Babyface Ray, Rowdy Rebel, G Herbo, Moneybagg Yo, Lil Uzi Vert, Ty Dolla $ign, and more.
A string of well-received freestyles and collaborations has helped Fabolous regain momentum throughout the year, including “SAY LESS” alongside French Montana, “Down Bad,” “Cheerio Freestyle” featuring Jeremih and Hitmaka, “BACH TO BACH” featuring Dave East and “RICH HUSTLE” by Jim Jones. Adding to that, the Brooklyn emcee released “Fabu Dhabi Recap,” a hard-hitting rip of CJ’s “Whoopty,” featuring boastful lyrics about Loso’s lifestyle.
“Fabu Dhabi Recap” is accompanied by a matching video created by Drevinci. Fabolous can be seen driving around Abu Dhabi in a Maybach SUV, watching an NBA game at Etihad Arena, and enjoying a night out at Club White.
Summertime Shootout 3: Coldest Summer Ever was released three years ago by the “Make Me Better” talent. On that album, 16 tracks were included. In addition, contributions from Meek Mill, Ty Dolla $ign, Davido, Lil Durk, YFN Lucci, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, PnB Rock, 2 Chainz, Gucci Mane, and more. The release of Summertime Shootout 3 ranked in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 due to the sale of 44,000 album equivalent units in its first week
‘Girls Night Out,’ Babyface’s highly anticipated album, will be released on Oct. 21. There will be vocal contributions from some of today’s most prominent women in R&B, such as Queen Naija, Ella Mai, Doechii, Ari Lennox, Kehlani, and many others. There will be a co-producer of the show, Babyface and Rika Tischendorf, as well as many strong previews including “Seamless” performed by Kehlani and “Keeps On Fallin” with Ella Mai.
With a brand new single today (Sept. 16), Babyface continues to roll out new music from the project, this time with the song “Game Over” in collaboration with Queen Naija. A man is trying to deceive the songstress according to her lyrics on the track:
In addition to revealing the official cover art for Girl’s Night Out, Babyface has also been releasing sneak peeks at the album’s content. In order to come up with the vibrant design, he recruited Ricky (Rico) Heeraman, a highly regarded, self-taught modern artist. Born in the Bronx, Heeraman uses geometry to separate his pieces of art and find inspiration in urban graffiti art.
