In addition to the 13 tracks that will be included in the project, Tink and Chris Brown will also make guest appearances. With regards to the “FOREVER” track, Vedo released his first preview of the song last month. On Monday (Jan. 6), he continued his streak of hits with a sensual Breezy-assisted track titled “Do You Mind.” The Michigan native delivered his opening verse in the song which focused on setting the right tone for the night with his words:
Vedo the singer of “You Got It” previously released a project with OG Parker called While You Wait last year, which was the first time that he and the rapper put their talents together. A total of eight tracks were featured on the mixtape, including two appearances by Dusty Locane and Baby Tate. The highlight of his 2022 career was when he accompanied Eric Bellinger as one of Usher’s backup singers when he performed his viral performance for “NPR Tiny Desk,” which was viral worldwide.
It was over a year ago that Brown released his latest LP, Breezy, the 10th album of his career that came out back in June of 2022. With a total of 24 songs, the album features production assistance from Blxst, Bryson Tiller, Ella Mai, EST Gee, Fivio Foreign, H.E.R., Jack Harlow, Lil Wayne, and more.

Following that, he came back to announce the official Deluxe upgrade, which boasted nine additional cuts, as well as new collaborations between him and Davido and Anderson. Paak.
On the 13th of January, Clavish will unveil the latest installment of his Rap Game Awful series, which will include features from people such as Kaash Paige, Fredo, D-Block Europe, MoStack, Tiny Boost, Youngs Teflon, Tiggs Da Author, and more. Having revealed the video for “Traumatised,” a new visual from the upcoming project, the North London emcee took to social media yesterday (5 Jan. ) to show off the full production from the team behind CHEK Beatz, which pays homage to Sisqó’s timeless single “Thong Song.” With the release of this track, Clavish is continuing to further solidify his penchant for providing vivid rhymes that speak to how the real life on the streets can translate across the pond:
A small clip accompanying the song, titled Traumatised, was directed by Toxic. The video is mainly comprised of a shot of Clavish sitting on his throne with placed candles on the table. He is also accompany by a violinist playing along to help set the mood behind him as he watches the proceedings. Also, viewers will have the opportunity to watch what appears to be rocket science talent in a small room which has been decorated with what appears to be plastic on the walls as well as the floor in which the talent are performing.
As a rapper, NBA YoungBoy has without a doubt been one of the most consistent rappers that have ever lived – and he is just 23 years old. In terms of the amount and rate of music he drops, he probably has the biggest fan base on the planet. This is because he releases so much information at such an incredible rate. Although the fact that YB is not willing to leave his fans hungry may seem terrible to some, he is not willing to do anything like that. There is no doubt that that is one of the most admirable characteristics about him and should be commended in any way possible. It is a suitable way to mark the beginning of the new year for the “Broken Hearted” rapper, who has brought the new year in the way he intended. Today (Jan. 6) the rapper released his debut album I Rest My Case.
This is the latest release from NBA YoungBoy. Judging from the looks of it, he isn’t showing any signs of slowing down anytime soon. In addition, judging from the way that he is releasing it, he has no intention of ever letting up. It is his first official studio album since he signed with Motown Records in October of last year, and it marks his first independent release. In only the last year, YoungBoy was able to debut six projects on the Billboard Top 200 charts, including five solo efforts and one collaborative effort with DaBaby (Better Than You). The Last Slimeto charted four top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 in 2022, which is more top 10 albums than any other act on the chart that year. He also released four projects over the last two months, which include REALER 2, The Last Slimeto, 3800 Degrees and Ma I Got A Family.
This one is going to be a tough one for NBA YoungBoy, who possesses 19 records under his belt, but he is sure to set the bar high for fans worldwide by going it alone. The good news is that this will not be the last time we hear from Young Buck musically this year, instead we can expect many more.
This morning (Jan. 6), Stormzy released a revised remix of his song “Hide & Seek,” which includes a guest appearance from the rising R&B group FLO. In addition to the production provided by the trio of Jorja Douglas, Renée Downer, PRGRSHN, P2J, Owen Cutts, and Stella Quaresma. Additionally, the mood was melancholy of the song by adding lines that speak of a rocky relationship in the lyrics:
In his surprise announcement of this brand-new release, Stormzy also revealed that FLO had won BBC’s Sound of 2023 poll, beating out competitors like Cat Burns, Nia Archives, Fred Again.., and Gabriels. According to the group’s statement released upon receiving the request, last year’s champion is also being honored in the following way.
“The BBC Sound Of 2023 has given us a sense of history that makes us feel so connected to the roots of British music. I am especially proud of our lead singer Pink Pantheress… Thanks to everyone who cast a vote for us and helped put girl groups back on the map. Having our musical talent acknowledged as well as others believing in our vision drives us to push ourselves further this year in order to achieve our goals.”
In its original form, “Hide & Seek” was released in April 2012 as the lead single from Stormzy’s third studio album, titled This Is What I Mean, which was compiled of twelve tracks featuring collaborations with India.Arie, Sampha, Amaarae, Jacob Collier, Ms. Banks, Black Sherif, and more. He has reached No. 1 on the U.K Albums Chart for the third consecutive year thanks to the release of his latest project.
In relation to her latest single, “Wasted” that Coi Leray released last Friday (Dec. 23), the XXL Freshman alum is extremely painful over the subject matter of a toxic relationship that she goes through:
This song was co-produced by Taylor Hill and TBHITS and it features an accompanying visual which shows Justus Pickett as Leray as the pair go through the motions with their love interest. In this film, viewers can see both the highs and the lows of a situation that eventually leads to the end of the story.
It was back in April when Leray launched her official debut LP, Trendsetter. This LP featured 20 songs, and it also featured appearances from Yung Bleu, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Nicki Minaj, Fivio Foreign, G Herbo, H.E.R., Young M.A, and more. There were several singles released as part of the project, including “Big Purr (Prrdd),” “No More Parties (Remix),” “Anxiety,” “Twinnem,” and “Blick Blick.”
As part of the interview, Coi Leray addressed the issues surrounding her current successes as well as what fans may expect to see from her in the future:
Coi Leray appears to be one of the biggest stars in the industry in the coming years. My shoutout goes out to Doja Cat. She is unbelievably inspiring. The dedication and dedicated work I put into my work has resulted in me being able to acquire a number of talents that I have acquired through my work. As far as ‘No More Parties’ is concerned, the album has already been certified double platinum in terms of sales. In a short amount of time, my album has already surpassed many of my goals, and it is only a few hundred streams away from hitting another big goal. I would recommend you listen to Trendsetter if that is the case.”
