As far as Rowdy Rebel is concerned, it has been a long time coming. Brooklyn rhymer has been keeping his fans entertained since returning from a six-year prison stint with a wide variety of singles and collaborations. The culmination of all that comes with the release of Rebel’s new album Rebel vs. Rowdy, a 17-song collection featuring Fivio Foreign, French Montana, Dreezy, and more.
A video for a standout track off the new LP, “New York,” is also available alongside the LP. It features Jadakiss and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. This S.Dot-produced track was originally leaked back in 2021 and demonstrates a different side of The Big Apple than previous hits:
“New York” is accompanied by a clip by G-Train that brings together plenty of the city’s highlights at night. Don Q, Fat Joe, Fabolous, and others can be seen on subways and in a number of neighborhoods throughout.
After Shmoney Keeps Calling, Revolution vs. Rowdy made its way to shores back in 2016, when Rowdy Rebel was still incarcerated. The release included appearances from Kent Jones, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Durk, Rich The Kid, Too $hort, A$AP Ferg, and Bobby Shmurda. It was released in 2014 with Shmoney Shmurda (with GS9), and it was released in 2015 with Remain Silent.
Throughout the past few months, Toosii has released some dope cuts, such as “Secrets,” “Love Me Easy,” and “Keeper.” Today, he keeps the energy high with a new song, “Love Is…,” a Sammy, Dawson, and Bossman production that samples Julia Michaels’ “Love Is Weird.” It is an emotionally powerful track, in which Toosii reflects on a lost love:
A matching video is also available for “Love Is…“, courtesy of Noratchetss. Toosii harmonizes alone in the clip for about four minutes while his former love interest lives elsewhere, matching the melancholy vibes of the song.
There have been two years since Toosii’s Poetic Pain debut album was released, which had 17 tracks and features from Summer Walker and Lil Durk. In the years since then, Fivio Foreign and his XXL Freshman cohort have continued to entertain their fans with Thank You for Believing. This is in addition to collaborations with DaBaby, Fivio Foreign, Latto, Hotboii, and Key Glock. His three-song EP Pretty Girls Love Toosii was released last December.
Two years have passed since Megan Thee Stallion released her debut studio album Good News, which featured 17 songs and features by City Girls, DaBaby, Lil Durk, Popcaan, SZA, Big Sean, Beyoncé, 2 Chainz, and Young Thug. After 100,000 first-week album equivalents were sold, Good News peaked at number two on the Billboard 200 – Meg also achieved Platinum status for the album.
There has been an influx of releases from the Houston talent since then, including the mixtape Something For The Hotties, as well as loose cuts such as “Sweetest Pie” and “Plan B.” Other songs she has appeared on include Ariana Grande “34+35 (Remix),” Lil Nas X “DOLLA SIGN SLIME,” Juicy J “SHE GON POP IT,” Maroon 5 “Beautiful Mistakes,” Lil Baby “On Me (Remix),” Bankroll Freddie “Pop It,” DJ Khaled “I DID IT,” DJ Snake “SG,” and Shenseea “Lick.”
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. If you are interested in participating in the futuristic event in your area, you can find upcoming dates here.
Having released her seventh studio album Beauty Marks three years ago, Ciara’s seventh recording features contributions from Macklemore, Kelly Rowland, and Tekno. Over the past few years, she has released loose cuts such as “Melanin” by City Girls, LaLa, Lupita Nyong’o and Dean, and “Rooted” featuring Ester Dean. Also, she has contributed her talents to the likes of Maverick City Music and Summer Walker.
Ciara returns with “JUMP” upon the release of Coast Contra’s debut album. It shouldn’t take long for “JUMP” to get your dance shoes moving on the dance floor: it’s produced by Sean Small and Sam Sumser.
In recent news, Coast Contra, which includes Ras and Taj, twin sons of Ras Kass and Teedra Moses, has been gaining traction over the past year or so by releasing singles such as “Pimpin’ Benjamin,” “AF1,” “My Lady,” “Explicit” “Intentional,” and “Legacy.” In May, the duo released a freestyle featuring JID‘s “Never” instrumental that can now be found on streaming platforms for fans to enjoy.
It has been a while since Fivio Foreign released his debut album B.I.B.L.E., which features 17 tracks as well as contributions from Blueface, Alicia Keys, Kanye West, Quavo, Coi Leray, Queen Naija, Chlöe, DJ Khaled, A$AP Rocky, and more. It has since been possible for fans to watch visuals from the project, including “What’s My Name” with Coi Leray & Queen Naija and “Hello,” “For Nothin” by KayCyy.
A brand new single is released today (July 8) by the Brooklyn star entitled “Paris To Tokyo.” Led by the Brooklyn star and accompanied by The Kid Laroi, the track features an interpolation of Far East Movement’s 2010 hit “Rocketeer”:
In the years preceding B.I.B.L.E., Fivio kept his fans well fed with a number of top tier singles, including “Self-Made (Freestyle),” “Unruly,” “Trust,” “Creepin” and “Story Time” alongside Rowdy Rebel, “Bop It,” “13 Going On 30” alongside Polo G, “Move Like A Boss,” “Fully Focused (Freestyle)” featuring Young M.A. He also provided his unique tracks for the likes of the late Pop Smoke, French Montana, DaniLeigh, Russ Millions & Tion Wayne, Drake, Sleepy Hallow, Calboy, Nas, Nicki Minaj and more.
