A day earlier (Sept. 20), Nwigwe released the official music video for the group’s newest single “Mini Me.” Fat and Dame D.O.L.L.A. appear on the track, which sees them come together in a stunning garden for a live performance of their collaboration. The song begins with Nwigwe handling the verse:
In 2020, Nwigwe dropped Cincoriginals, a 14-track compilation that included Killa Kyleon, Black Thought, Trae Tha Truth, Cyhi The Prynce, Bun B, D Smoke, Royce da 5’9”, Big K.R.I.T., Fat, as well as his go-to producer LaNell Grant. It has been almost two years since he dropped loose records like “Wake Up Everybody,” “A Million,” and “A Revealing Freestyle.”

Almost a year has passed since Gucci Mane released his fifteenth studio album Ice Daddy. This album included 17 songs and guest appearances by BIG30, Pooh Shiesty, 2 Chainz, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Baby, and more.

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.
