Atlanta-based rap diva Omeretta The Great is causing a stir with some of the lyrics in her latest release. Of course, it’s not the first time she’s done so. Back in 2022, the rising starlet’s “Sorry Not Sorry” sparked a debate about which rappers are really from Atlanta. That discussion appears to have since been settled. Instead, Omeretta has moved on to rhyming about more timely matters, such as the YSL RICO trial.
More specifically, the 27-year-old got a few things off her chest regarding those who have been dissing Gunna. Countless leaders in the hip-hop world have renounced the DS4Ever artist after he took a plea deal, either through their words or actions. His recent a Gift & a Curse project seems to have won him back some favour, but still, Gunna is a long way off from the position he used to be in prior to his arrest.
Omeretta Enters the Chat With Her “Put It On Da Floor (RettaMix)”
“They talking bout Baby making disses, I guess he picking a side / But this Atlanta business, someone tell Boosie be quiet,” Omeretta spits over the beat to Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor.” Her bars continue with, “I heard that Durk all on the ‘gram tryna boost up his pride / He sending disses at lil Gunna when Lil Y be outside.” Naturally, the “RettaMix” is getting plenty of attention on social media, which is likely just what the “Love Me” artist wanted.
Check out Omeretta The Great’s buzzworthy “Put It On Da Floor” remix above. Which rap diva do you think has done the best job at putting their own spin on Latto’s potential song of the summer? Let us know in the comments, and check back later this weekend for more HNHH release recommendations.

The highly anticipated “It Was All A Blur” Tour featuring Drake and 21 Savage has faced yet another delay. As fans express their opinions on social media regarding high ticket prices, it remains to be seen whether prices will be adjusted following the tour delay. Drake & 21 Savage Push Back Tour Dates…Again Drake and […]
Blueface has said the reason he took a plea deal in his Las Vegas shooting case is so his pregnant ex-girlfriend Chrisean Rock could avoid time behind bars.
Coming hot on the heels of her show-stealing appearance at the BET Awards, St. Louis rapper Sexyy Red makes another bid for the song of the summer with the unfiltered video for “Looking For The H*es (Ain’t My Fault)” video. As suggested by the song’s title, the chorus borrows the famed call and response from Silkk The Shocker’s 1998 single “It Ain’t My Fault.” There are no limits in the video either (heh) as Red and her girls twerk, shake, and pop for the camera at a house party.
“Looking For The H*es” appears on Sexyy Red’s debut mixtape Hood Hottest Princess alongside her breakout hits “Born By The River” and “Pound Town 2” featuring Nicki Minaj. The tape, released by Heavy On It and Open Shift Distribution, also features ATL Jacob, Juicy J, Sukihana, and Tay Keith.
In the wake of the tape’s release, Red has already begun to experience the highs and lows of fame. She was recently added to the lineup of the Days Of Summer Cruise Festival — undoubtedly a “high” — but also found herself cutting off a performance after fans threw objects on stage. But, as she says in the song, that ain’t her fault. For the time being, she seems comfortable continuing to be herself — exactly the thing that got her here in the first place.

Anybody who thought the vinyl resurgence was just a fad was mistaken: The industry has experienced a legitimate revival. As a result, music fans are interested in physical media in ways they may not have if the decades-old medium hasn’t made a comeback. That doesn’t mean everybody is listening to just their parents’ old music, though. That’s part of it, sure, thanks to rereleases that present classic albums in new ways. A vital part of the renewed vinyl wave, though, is new projects being released as records, of which there are plenty.
Whatever you might be into, each month brings a new slew of vinyl releases that has something for everybody. Some stand out above the rest, naturally, so check out some of our favorite vinyl releases of June below.
The Age Of Pleasure was definitely the most-talked-about album of June, due in part to Monáe’s racy rollout and in part to the music just being excellent. In the video above, Monáe shows off the striking vinyl edition, which features warm alternate cover art and a gigantic painting of breasts on the inside.
As part of its Anthology series, Vinyl Me, Please is revisiting an iconic Waylon Jennings run, from 1973 to 1981, with an eight-album box set. It’s a must-have for fans, as it comes alongside 28 pages of listening notes and even a podcast that dives into Jennings’ storied career as one of country’s biggest icons.
Otis Redding — Otis Forever: The Albums & Singles (1968-1970)
Rhino
Redding tragically died in a 1967 plane crash, but the music kept flowing after that. Four posthumous albums were released from 1968 to 1970, including the beloved The Dock Of The Bay. That and more has been compiled in a new box set (limited to only 1,000 copies), which features the four albums and mono versions of 24 singles from the albums.
Willie Nelson is 90 years old and not stopping, as he has Bluegrass, a new album (his 151st!), on the way soon. For now, though, it’s time to look back with a quick series of reissues. First up is 2002’s The Great Divide, which features collaborations with folks like Sheryl Crow, Rob Thomas, Alison Krauss, and others.
At 82 years old, Bob Dylan is showing no signs of slowing. He just dropped Shadow Kingdom, his 40th album, in early June, and it features new recordings of songs from the first half of Dylan’s esteemed career, along with a new instrumental track, “Sierra’s Theme.” The reinterpretations stem from Dylan’s 2021 concert film, Shadow Kingdom: The Early Songs Of Bob Dylan.
Madonna — Finally Enough Love: The Rainbow Edition
Rhino
Last summer, Madonna dropped Finally Enough Love: 50 Number Ones, a retrospective box set that offers a great overview of her pop dominance. She decided to revive the project here in Pride Month by re-dubbing it Finally Enough Love: The Rainbow Edition. Naturally, the vinyl it’s pressed on comes in a variety of vibrant colors, making it an awesome way to celebrate.
Gossamer was a huge moment for Passion Pit, as the 2012 sophomore album vaulted the group into the mainstream conversation with a No. 4 peak on the Billboard 200 chart and the multi-platinum single “Take A Walk.” They’re a bit late but the new 10th-anniversary reissue is still appreciated, and fans will love this: The reissue features “American Blood” and “Almost There,” both of which were previously only available as bonus tracks on the 2012 Japanese CD release.
Included on Flaming Lips’ 6-CD Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots 20th Anniversary Box Set was a collection of four fan-favorite tracks only officially available as part of that release. Now, they’ve been given their first-ever vinyl release on a new standalone collection, pressed on lovely pink vinyl.
TLC — CrazySexyCool and FanMail (Vinyl Me, Please Reissues)
Vinyl Me, Please
Much has been made about the 50th anniversary of hip-hop in 2023, and part of Sony’s celebrations include teaming up with Vinyl Me, Please for some fresh reissues. For the occasion, TLC’s two biggest albums, FanMail and CrazySexyCool, are getting new releases, and the former even comes with a 7-inch.
Towards the end of 2022, Alex G wrapped up a headlining tour with three sold-out hometown shows at Philadelphia’s Union Transfer. Now he’s sourced a new live album from those performances, but vinyl isn’t just the best way to hear it: It’s the only way, as the 14-track Live From Union Transfer isn’t currently set to be released on any format besides LP.
A lot has happened for rising Atlanta star Kaliii since Uproxx last spoke to her about the release of her debut EP, Toxic Chocolate. In addition to landing on the 2022 XXL Freshman list, her April single “Area Codes” has taken off, spawning a multitude of remixes featuring Luh Tyler, Mello Buckzz, and more. She was also highlighted at the BET Awards earlier this month, highlighting how far she’s come.
Now, with a slight name change and a new era ahead of her — those extra two “i’s” make all the difference — she’s turning the page with a deluxe reissue of Toxic Chocolate: Area Codes Edition and collecting all those remixes into one compilation, Area Codes: The Remixes. The new version of the EP adds the breakout hit, which peaked at No. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100, and establishes her name change, which will kick in on DSPs within the next few weeks.
Along with the reissue, Kaliii has become an in-demand feature rapper, appearing on BreezyLYN’s “Bad Bitches” remix alongside Brooklyn breakout Lola Brooke and Finesse2Tymes’ “Shiesty” with St. Louis standout Sexyy Red.
You can check out the “718” remix of “Area Codes” featuring Kenzo B up top.
Toxic Chocolate: Area Codes Edition is out now via Atlantic. Get it here.
Kaliii is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Lil Meech took to social media recently to share that the cast has completed filming the third season of BMF. The drama series, created by Randy Huggins, stars Lil Meech, Da’Vinchi, Myles Truitt, Michole Briana White, and more. In a new clip, Lil Meech is seen walking “in the middle of nowhere,” telling fans that they’re now “three seasons in.”
The actor also recently called out some cast members of another drama series, Power. He mentioned Gianni Paolo and Michael Rainey Jr. specifically in a recent Instagram post. He’s seen flexing on the cast while on a private jet with his BMF crew. He has has additionally made headlines as of late for his relationship with R&B singer Summer Walker. The two confirmed they were official earlier this year, and have been magnets for drama ever since.
Most recently, Lil Meech was accused of cheating on Walker after a woman posted a photo wearing his chain. He denies the allegations. Walker later posted screenshots of DMs between her and the woman, who claimed she didn’t even know the rapper. Lil Meech then claimed that his bodyguard had given the woman his chain and was later fired for it. After the exchange turned sour, the woman shared her own DMs with Walker’s boyfriend. In the screenshots, he appears to ask her to clarify the rumors in exchange for money.
After comedian Jess Hilarious weighed in on the drama, the couple clapped back. She had claimed to believe that he was cheating on Walker, going so far as to call him musty. Lil Meech later shared DMs she had sent to him, claiming she was shooting her shot. Walker also came for the comedian, calling her “ugly” and “weird.” Despite the drama, the couple showed off some incredible looks at the 2023 BET Awards last weekend. The two of them posed for several hands-on photos together, proving haters wrong.
Monica has dropped her latest music video for the single “Letters,” released on June 30. The steamy video features rapper The Game, with the duo sharing a personal bubble bath scene. Fans have used social media to express their reactions to the unexpected collaboration. Meanwhile, R&B singer’s 15-year-old son, Romelo, had some thoughts of his […]
