The same day as she released her single “Bops” yesterday (April 27), Coi Leray is back again with her next single, “My Body,” today (April 28). This was her second back-to-back release as the producer Johnny Goldstein, who was behind the extremely successful “Players” single, stood behind the back-to-back releases. In the new song, the New Jersey-born singer raps about how she knows her worth on the track:
The 25-year-old artist Coi Leray has also taken part in an exclusive interview with Eddie Francis aired on Apple Music 1, where she was able to talk about why she felt compelled to create an anthem that promotes body positivity. In my entire career, I have dealt with the problem of body shaming at every step of the way. I would like to give a shout out to all the slim women that are out there. As far as I am concerned, I set the way for slim women to finally become accepted in the music industry for the first time, honestly, after a very long time, I feel like I did a lot to pave that path.” stated the singer.
As far as full-length albums go, Coi Leray has released only one, the Trendsetter album, in April 2022, which included 20 tracks and included features from G Herbo, Fivio Foreign, Nicki Minaj, Yung Bleu, Nav, and more. A number of visuals have been released from the project during the past few weeks, including “Thief In The Night” with G Herbo and “Blick Blick,” “Lonely Fans,” “Anxiety” with Nicki Minaj.

Having officially returned to the music scene today (May 3), BJ The Chicago Kid released his latest single titled “Forgot Your Name” with Cory Henry providing the vocals. Featuring the talented production of Yeti Beats, the track marks the first single from the duo’s upcoming joint album, which is scheduled to be released later this summer, and this is the first taste of what’s to come. The Chicago singer showcases his storytelling abilities as he imparts a story about a night when he drank a little too much on the song in the form of smooth, heartfelt vocals:
“Writing is one of the ways I try to capture the essence of a moment and then turn it into a story that resonates with the audience,” BJ The Chicago Kid explained in a press release. “My inspiration for this song came from the experience of meeting someone new at a bar, being swept up in the moment, but then realizing that you are not able to remember their name later on. There is a sense of excitement and vulnerability at the same time, but at the end of the day, it’s all about the desire to make connections with people and create memorable experiences that will last a lifetime after the night is over.”
BJ The Chicago Kid most recently recognized for his work on 2021’s Three, a short EP that collected all the releases from the artist’s “BJ Wednesday’s” series of releases. Despite this, he has remained active by providing vocals for a number of collaborations, including “Black Superhero” by Killer Mike, “Slide By” by The WRLDFMS Tony Williams, “Show Her The Way” by Full Crate, “PPL” by DRAM, and more.

Shaquille O’Neal assured the public that he will continue to be pleasant on the mic. It was announced yesterday (May 2) that NBA Hall of Famer KoKo would release his new single, King Talk, which features Blackway. Shaquille O’Neal posted the track to his social media accounts for the first time back in February when he used it as part of an animation video celebrating LeBron’s record-breaking first season as the NBA’s all-time leading scorer. The track opens up with Blackway delivering a hard-hitting delivery following his hard-hitting delivery that he lays out:
“KoKo and I have been exchanging beats for a while now and we have been sending each other beats back and forth. I knew I had to seize this opportunity after he played me this song,” Shaquille O’Neal explained via a press release. “There was never going to be a better moment for me to collaborate with Blackway, and this was the right time for it. My favorite part about this record is that I can feel as if I’m walking out for game seven of the NBA finals. Especially for LeBron James, the lyrics of the track and the vibe of the music were perfect for the moment when he broke the NBA scoring record. There was no doubt in my mind that I must share it with the world a king respects a king.”
As it prepares to release his EP later this summer, Ghanaian-American afrobeats and hip hop artist Blackway is steadily working up to the release of his EP. Back in March, he released his first single titled, “Lion”, which is the lead track on the album. Among his most recent projects is the 2020 album New Yhana 2, a project that featured performances from Papi ojo, Busta Rhymes, and more.

This album contained 14 songs in addition to additional collaborations with stars such as H.E.R., Lil Wayne, Gunna, Freddie Gibbs, Lil Durk, Stevie Wonder, Eminem, Ant Clemons, and Roddy Ricch.
