There is little doubt that your work will be seen by your peers if it has already been aired on BET and MTV. RealmuzikSK has been doing a lot of that recently, so it’s no surprise that Yung Bleu chose to jump on board with his latest EP, Up A Level.

The EP comes with a video for “Pain,” which features both Yung Bleu and RealmuzikSK this tune in particular is a standout song, taking listeners through a breakup story about betrayal and the agony that comes with it.

Realmuzik, a native of Amite City, Louisiana, has had a rocky road, having encountered homelessness after dropping out of school at the age of 16. He has faced the anguish and battle to subsist while pursuing a musical career rather than a formal degree, yet despite this, he creates Hip Hop that truly reaches the soul.

“My upbringing played a major role in who I am today,” he says. “Lessons I learned from family, the streets and people in my circle are very valuable to who I am.”

Up A Level captures that feeling and includes three tracks that demonstrate his limitless potential. With Pit Bull, Mo3, K. Michelle, Shaggy, Johnny Taylor, Wiz Khalifa, and Rick Ross as influences, the EP is an example of an artist running his own race, and with Yung Bleu in the mix, Realmuzik is bound to come out on top.

Gucci Mane Shows His Gratitude For His Wife’s Love And Loyalty In His Lavish ‘Mrs. Davis’ Video

by

Gucci Mane met his now-wife Keyshia Ka’Oir Davis back in 2010. Since then the two have been side-by-side through their respective ups and downs. After an arrest in 2013, and an eventual plea deal where he accepted a charge for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, Gucci Mane would go on to spend two years behind bars. Through it all, Ka’Oir stayed by his side. A year and a half after his release, Gucci and Keyshia would go on and get married, and three years later, the two gave birth to their first child as a couple, a baby boy they named Ice Davis.

It’s all these occurrences and more between the couple that has Gucci Mane eternally grateful for his companion in his new song “Mrs. Davis.” Gucci sings his praises about his wife with lines like “Had to buy her two rings, ’cause we got married twice / A million dollar push present ’cause she carry ice.” The track also arrived with a matching video that captures the couple’s lavish love as sip champagne on a plane and spend time with their song Ice.

Gucci’s “Mrs. Davis” continues what’s been an active year for him. Prior to the new single, he released “Serial Killers,” “Blood All On It,” and “Rumors” with Lil Durk.

You can watch the video for “Mrs. Davis” above.

Gucci Mane is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Gucci Mane Gets Wife Keyshia Ka’oir To Star In Visual To “Mrs. Davis”

by

They’re a Hip Hop power couple that has been together for over a decade so it’s only fitting that Gucci Mane’s latest single is dedicated to his wife, Keyshia Ka’oir. The couple wed back in 2017 and welcomed their son, Ice Davis, in December 2020, so it is safe to say that these two have been living their best luxury, happy family dreams. Keyshia has stood by Gucci’s side through the best and the worst of it all, and on Friday (June 3), the Rap mogul delivered “Mrs. Davis,” his latest single that tributes his leading lady.

Along with the track comes a music video where we get to see Gucci continue to flex his tax bracket but this time, he has his wife and son by his side. We’re already familiar with how the Davis’s get down—they’re often pictured courtside, jet-setting, or rocking off the runway fits. You’ll get all that and more from “Mrs. Davis,” so stream Gucci Mane’s latest and let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics

Happy wife happy life,
I took my own advice
I think about my wife and all that she had to sacrifice
Real humble beginnings now my life different
My b*tch worth a half a billy and my wife different

Doja Cat Keeps It Feisty And Fierce As She Dismisses An Old Lover In Her Freeing ‘Vegas’ Video

by

At the beginning of last month, Doja Cat released “Vegas,” which stood as her first single of the year. She uses the record to talk down on a past lover who underestimated her worth. The track is also one that’s set to appear on the soundtrack for the upcoming film Elvis which is set to premiere in theaters later this month on June 24. With weeks to go until the movie arrives, Doja returns with a vibrant music video for the track. Her feistiness and fierce spirit are on full display as she dismisses her ex-lover. She also passionately dances around an old-style room as she airs out her grievances.

The past month has been a tough one for Doja. She was forced to undergo surgery on her tonsils and it requires months of recovery, which she is still in the midst of. As a result, she had to back out as an opener for The Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn tour later this year. Despite this, some good news would come her way. Doja racked in the most nominations for the upcoming 2022 BET Awards and she helped to bring back Taco Bell’s Mexican Pizza which returned to store menus last month.

As for the upcoming Elvis soundtrack, Doja is not the only big name who will contribute to it. Eminem, Denzel Curry, Gary Clark Jr., Jack White, Jazmine Sullivan, Kacey Musgraves, Nardo Wick, Stevie Nicks, Swae Lee and Diplo, Tame Impala, and more will also contribute to the project.

Polo G Looks To Eliminate Every ‘Distraction’ In His New Video

by

Polo G announced his new single “Distraction” with a comical trailer on Instagram where famed TikToker Kai Cenat is shown going mad trying to find the source of a song playing. He ultimately finds his headphones and places them on his ears only to then be blown away by the music that pierces through them. It is now clear why he was so consumed, as the new visual shows Polo G in the back of a police car after being arrested, graduating, beating up an online streamer, and performing surgery all before enjoying dinner with a woman. The refrain closes with “Bring out the best in me or be a distraction,” bringing the messaging of the record and accompanying video full circle.

“Distraction” is Polo’s first proper 2022 release after the Billboard 200 chart-topping success Hall Of Fame from last summer, notably beating out the Migos’ Culture III which arrived that same weekend. The Chicago rapper then released the deluxe version, Hall Of Fame 2.0, less than six months later. Though the video for “Don’t Play” featuring Lil Baby from the deluxe did release this year, the 23-year-old otherwise stuck to collaborations with Fivio Foreign and PGF Nuk before unloading the new, focused single.

Check out “Distraction” in the video above.

Logic Lets The Ink Spill In His New Song ‘Bleed It’

by

It’s been a very active year for Logic, and he is here today with his sixth song of 2022 “Bleed It.” Over the 90s reminiscent production with midtempo drums and a vintage vocal filter, he raps in the chorus about letting his pen bleed. He raps with enthusiasm and confidence but also reflects on the days that may not have been the case, referencing how he was once a “loser,” “failure,” or “never was a winner but he won some.” After the internet backlash Logic has faced over the years despite being an advocate for mental health, he refreshed as he has his mind set on not dwelling too much on the naysayers.

“Bleed It” comes just one week after the record “Orville” featuring Like, Blu and Exile. Prior to “Orville” the 32-year-old released “Therapy Music” featuring Russ, “Tetris,” “Decades” and the DJ Premier-assisted title track for his forthcoming album Vinyl Days. Since Logic’s almost yearlong retirement in 2020, which he began to focus on being a father, the Rockville rapper has put out the 2021 mixtape Bobby Tarantino III and three songs alongside Madlib under their duo moniker MadGic.

Check out Logic’s new song “Bleed It” above.

His upcoming release will find Logic bowing out of his contract with Def Jam, ushering in a new season for the rapper. The roller coaster ride of Logic’s career in recent years has been a whirlwind, specifically his retirement and, well, leap out of retirement. There were rumors of EPs and joint projects, but instead, Logic has not only continued to release new music but this month we are set to receive his highly anticipated album, Vinyl Days.

In recent weeks, Logic has delivered one track after another each New Music Friday. His DJ Premier-assisted “Vinyl Days” was much talked about, Blu & Exile as well as Like joined him on “Orville,” and there were also the releases of “Tetris” and “Decades.” This week, Logic is back with “Bleed It,” another hitter than pays homage to the early sounds of Hip Hop.

Stream “Bleed It,” a track with major Beastie Boys vibes, and keep an eye out for the release of Vinyl Days on June 17.

Sometimes I feel like I’m losing my mind
I’ve seen a lot of sh*t in my lifetime
Playin’ the field, man, I need anothеr lifeline
Fifty-fifty, I was born to be a f*ck-up
