Fireboy DML debuted a new single in July called Peru, which was produced by Shizzi and was about both the celebration of a love interest and the excitement of meeting her. It was later remixed to include the addition of Ed Sheeran’s stylings. Nigerian artist Olamide teamed up with rappers Blxst and 21 Savage to remix the hit once again and dropped it last month, joined by Blxst and 21 Savage.
Now, he drops his first solo single of 2022 with his newly dropped “Playboy” track. Providing yet another perfect nighttime vibe, Fireboy delivers yet another smooth track:
Billboard has put Fireboy’s “Peru” on its Hot 100 chart for the first time. The two-minute song has reached 300 million streams to date and continues to climb the charts around the world, reaching the top of the UK Top 40 chart and becoming Nigeria’s second most streamed song.
Aside from Peru, Fireboy has also gained popularity for tracks such as Rotimi “Weapon,” Cheque “History,” DJ Spinall “Sere (Remix),” WSTRN “Be My Guest,” and D Smoke “Sleepwalking.” It is also hoped that he has been working on an official follow-up to last year’s Apollo.
The B.I.B.L.E. album will finally be released by Fivio Foreign on Friday, Mar. 25. As a preview before the album makes its full debut on April 13, the Brooklyn rapper offers you his latest single “Magic City.” Featuring a homage to one of Atlanta’s landmark clubs, whom better than Quavo to assist with this single? The two merge their energies to create the perfect vibe to get you ready for the weekend:
With Alicia Keys and Kanye West as production, Fivio Foreign unveiled last month his new music video for “City of Gods,” which was also produced by Dem Jointz, The Chainsmokers, Ojivolta, Tweek Tune, Hemz, Lil Mav, and AyoAA. The Brooklyn artist followed up with his official visual for the track a few weeks later, which mostly revolves around Keys and Fivio’s dynamics in the Big Apple.
Previously released tracks from Fivio may appear on the album, including “13 Going On 30,” “Bop It” by Polo G, “Move Like A Boss” featuring Young M.A, “Trust,” “Unruly,” and “Story Time”
It has been four years since Quavo dropped his debut solo album QUAVO HUNCHO, despite the Migos being active in recent years. There are 19 tracks on this album, as well as guest appearances by Travis Scott, Madonna, Lil Baby, 21 Savage, Davido, Kid Cudi, Saweetie, Migos‘ artists Offset and Takeoff, and more. In the first week, Quavo’s album peaked at the number two spot on the Billboard 200, earning him a Gold plaque. It has since earned Quavo more accolades.
Throughout his career, NoCap has consistently delivered heartfelt, emotionally charged tracks to fans. A rap star from Alabama released a new song last week, “I’ll Be Here,” in which he shares his thoughts about staying true to himself in music and in the streets.
BMB Films and NardyMarley release the matching video for “I’ll Be Here” which features NoCap in front of a late-night convenience store that appears to be a gas station. While riding in his bright green Lamborghini truck, he displays high-end garments, and blindingly fine jewelry.
NoCap has been away from releasing full-length albums for quite some time, but his most recent, Steel Human, features 16 tracks and guest appearances from Lil Uzi Vert, Boosie Badazz, DaBaby, and Jacquees. The musician has since released top tier singles such as “So Lost/No Promises,” “Drown In My Styrofoam,” “Mistake,” “I Can’t,” “200 Or Better,” “On Purpose,” “Vaccine,” and “Flaws” are among the tracks that could appear on NoCap long-awaited album Mr. Crawford. Besides releasing his own music, Backend Child has worked with a number of artists, including $tupid Young, Yung Bleu, Lil Skies, Shy Glizzy, and No Savage.
