A new studio LP from Megan Thee Stallion released last month titled Traumazine. This album includes additional contributions from Latto, Sauce Walka, Dua Lipa, Future, Jhené Aiko, Lucky Daye, Rico Nasty, and more. Houston emcee Houston delivers a new visual from his album for “Ungrateful” a collaboration with Key Glock which is dedicated to anyone who is unappreciative of his love and loyalty:
In the accompanying video clip for “Ungrateful,” Megan Thee Stallion is seen in lingerie singing her rhymes from the comfort of her bedroom. Then she picks up Key Glock, who raps his verse despite heavy rains during a funeral she attends.
A recent appearance from Megan Thee Stallion revealed some of the more emotional aspects of Traumazine:
My feeling is that it is the softer side. You know, a side of things most people never see. It seems like we are so tough all of the time as female artists and especially as Black women. My feeling is that we’re always working hard in our music. In a world where we’re taught not to be too vulnerable and open, and not to involve too many people in our business. However, I feel that sometimes the world needs a little more of that.”
In early February, Montreal-born artist Lou Phelps released Touché EP, a collection of three songs showcasing his nimble rhyme style over electro-rap beats. As for the two previous tracks, the outro was produced by Lou Phelps himself, while the outro was assisted by his brother, Kaytranada. A music video for the EP’s title track also was released along with the EP.
Yesterday (August 16), Phelps released the official video to “Here We Go,” the first recording he has released on his own. This new video from Phelps is directed by Igal Perets, and it creates an intense environment as its focus is solely on him in a dark room as the lyrics play:
As we have previously mentioned, Phelps previously teamed up with Joyce Wrice and Oakland spitter Guapdad 4000 on the groovy collaboration track, “Oh Really? ” Together with the production of Agajon and additional production by Kiefer, the song was given an upbeat anthem vibe. “Oh Really?” is Lou Phelps’ first release since the mid-2021 singles “SOUND OF MONEY” and “Supersexe Freestyle.”
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.

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.

The new track from REASON features a smooth beat produced by Mike Hector:

Earlier this week, I released my new single “Barely Miss”! The producer is one of my favorites right now! Thanks, brotha!”
