As he did last year, NBA YoungBoy does not intend to waste any time with his preparations for 2023. The Baton Rouge rapper drops off his new single “Next” today (Feb. 27), which features high-pitched harmonies that speak of the street life, the surreal lifestyle and more in the context of life on the streets.
This D-Roc, Lastwordbeats, and ProdByBerge-backed offering is presented with a matching visual that originates from Isaac Garcia and is produced by D-Roc himself. There is no better way to watch NBA YoungBoy in full on rock star mode than to see him with beautiful women, fly threads, and even getting a tattoo mid-performance.
“Next” is scheduled for release on YoungBoy’s forthcoming album Do Not Try This At Home, which will be his second album for Motown Records following the release of I Rest My Case. The rapper, whose song “On My Side” has been featured in Rap Radar’s recent cover story (above), explained in an interview with the publication why he decided to part ways with Atlantic Records after an extensive contract. “You know, I just wanted to try some new stuff, just to try something that I hadn’t tried before,” he remarked. “See whether I could gain more from label situation.”
NBA YoungBoy has released a number of well-received solo works in 2022, including: The Last Slimeto, Colors, Realer 2, 3800 Degrees, Lost Files, and Ma’ I Got A Family. Additionally, he co-produced 3860 and Better Than You with Quando Rondo and DaBaby.

The highly anticipated It’s Only Me album from Lil Baby was released back in October of 2022, which made him return to the forefront of music. The project boasted a variety of guest appearances including Rylo Rodriguez, Pooh Shiesty, Young Thug, EST Gee, Future, and others that were featured on 23 of the tracks of the project. As a result of its debut week sales of 216,000 album-equivalent units, It’s Only Me landed on the top of the Billboard 200, earning it a very high rating.
This past weekend, Diamond-certified rapper Lil Baby Gunna dropped off the official music video for the fourth track on his debut album, “Forever.” The new Fridayy-assisted video was directed by Cam Busby and illustrates a romantic getaway on a tropical island during which Gunna and his girlfriend are on their honeymoon. Throughout the track, the “Yes Indeed” rapper tells the story of a back-and-forth which takes place between him and his love interest:
Lil Baby’s second solo album, It’s Only Me, follows up the success of his 2016 My Turn LP, which featured Moneybagg Yo, Future, 42 Dugg, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Wayne, Gunna, Young Thug, and Rylo Rodriguez over the course of 20 tracks. During its opening week, My Turn was also the best-selling album on the Billboard 200, with 197,000 album-equivalent units moving during that week. After announcing the deluxe version of the album on Instagram, the Atlanta native turned around and released his hit songs from the album, including the Grammy-nominated “We Paid” and the Grammy-winning “The Bigger Picture.”

In October of 2022, Babyface unveiled his highly anticipated album Girls Night Out, which was highly anticipated by music fans. The project featured a range of songs written and produced by some of the most prominent female artists in the R&B genre, including Sevyn Streeter, Kehlani, Ella Mai, Doechii, Tiana Major9, Tink, Queen Naija, Baby Tate, and many others. A co-production between Rika Tischendorf and Babyface was the production of Girls Night Out.
On Wednesday (Feb. 27th), the legendary hitmaker announced the release of the first video from his forthcoming album, the official music video to the single “Liquor.” Director Jean Estene directed the video, which features Ari Lennox in a cabaret show. Through the course of the song, she speaks about the need to set the tone for the evening with a little liquid courage:
According to Babyface, when it came to creating Girls Night Out, he took a hands-on approach to allow the ladies to shine. This is an approach he discussed in a previous interview. According to him, “It was a place where I was able to showcase the voices I enjoy.” He goes on to say, “I didn’t want to step on their toes.” When it came to my music, I did not want to age it. As far as I was concerned, I didn’t want to appear as a creepy old uncle. My intention was to be in the room and give advice, and that was all I wanted to do.”
It has been a while since Lennox released an album. Lennox’s most recent album has been highly anticipated, aged/sex/location music. A total of 12 tracks are included in this body of work, featuring Summer Walker, Chlöe, and Lucky Daye among others.

A year ago, in July 2022, Flo Milli released her first full-length album, You Still Here, Ho? Featuring 15 records, there were two bonus tracks included with the project, as well as guest appearances from Rico Nasty and Babyface Ray, as well as a narration from Tiffany “New York” Pollard. The visuals for some of the cuts from the project have already been available to fans for the likes of “No Face” and “Big Steppa.”
The Alabama-born artist Flo Milli, who was born on February 17, returns with her brand new single “Nasty Dancer” which is accompanied by a video that accompanies this single. She has just released a remix of the song “Conceited” featuring Lola Brooke and Maiya The Don, which is the follow-up to the remix she released last month for “Conceited.” Flo raps about the importance of taking control in the new song:
As part of her “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun Tour”, the 23-year-old singer also wrapped up the tour in November of 2022 with Monaleo serving as her opening act for the show. Besides releasing her own albums, the “In The Party” rapper can also be heard on a number of recent collaborations, including: “Asthma Pump” featuring Tay Money, “Snatched (Remix)” featuring Big Boss Vette, “Maneuver” featuring Lakesha, and more.
As Flo Milli explained in a recent Elle interview, it was important to Flo to demonstrate her versatility with her latest project. “ Many of my fans are unaware that I pay attention to their feedback, what they have to say, and what they want from me. The purpose of making this project different was to have it be a roller coaster ride that would take my fans on a journey through my personality and show them different sides to myself,” she said.
