GloRilla has been teasing us on social media for quite some time now, and she has come through with her remix of Latto’s hit from April, “Put It On Da Floor.” The Memphis rapper gets a kick out of the banger, which was mixed and mastered by Ben Hogarth and Go Grizzly, as she boasts of her accomplishments and sends strong messages to her many detractors.
Taking the clip for the song “Put It On Da Floor (GloMix)” from Samuel Finley, the clip features GloRilla enjoying a luxurious residence with her friends, as well as a scene from the video. It is a brilliant video that shows the group flexing their muscles with stacks of money and jewelry, breaking into dance moves, and driving matching Corvettes across the city.
There has been a lot buzz around GloRilla since she released her debut EP, Anyways, Life’s Great… in 2022, making it one of her first official releases under Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group label. It was such a remarkable project from Niki Pooh, Cardi B, and Hitkidd that it debuted at No. 5 on Billboard’s list of Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, which is the biggest ranking in the country. Within a few months of its original release, the “Tomorrow” star took the music world by storm with Anyways, Life’s Great…Bonusus Edition, which included viral favorites such as “PHATNALL” and “Nut Quick.”
As part of the XXL Freshman class for 2023, GloRilla joined Finesse2 Times, Luh Tyler, Lola Brooke, Central Cee, Rob49, and others on Wednesday (June 21). There’s no doubt that the achievement will serve as an appetizer for new music to come out in the weeks and months to come.

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.”

Daryl Campbell, also known as Taxstone, was sentenced to 35 years in prison by a Manhattan judge for his involvement in a 2016 shooting at Irving Plaza during a T.I. concert.
The shooting resulted in the tragic death of Ronald “Banga” McPhatter and left three others, including rapper Troy Ave, with serious injuries. In March, Campbell was convicted of manslaughter, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr. stated that the event resulted from a longstanding feud between Campbell and Troy Ave.
“Daryl Campbell targeted his rival with a firearm, causing loss of life and serious injuries to innocent bystanders,” said the D.A. “Gun violence is not an acceptable way to resolve conflict.”
Campbell gained fame in the hip-hop world through his social media presence and his “Tax Season” podcast, which debuted in 2015 and provided listeners with an unfiltered perspective from the streets of Brooklyn.
The podcast rapidly gained popularity for its authentic and candid depiction of life in the city.
