Loe Shimmy Selects Brent Faiyaz To Accompany Him For Remix Of Hit “For Me”

by

Since bubbling at the start of the 2020’s decade, Florida rapper Loe Shimmy is easily having his biggest year yet in 2024. The Pompano Beach native has ramped up his production exponentially, as he has put out now four projects. His Zombie series of records has ballooned up to 4.5 now thanks to him kicking things off with Zombieland 2 back in March. The .5, or .6 in this case, comes from the deluxe version of that aforementioned record. Finally, the latest entry is The Z Files, which features a series of remasters and other songs. However, that fourth project has broken the streak and its titled Nardy World.

It’s out as of today, November 8, but we want to shift our focus to one track in particular. Loe Shimmy and Brent Faiyaz are generating some buzz for their left-field collaboration, “For Me.” Outside of it being an unexpected link-up, it’s creating some excitement thanks to “For Me” being Loe’s biggest song. For context, the Zombieland 2 cut currently boasts over 12.5 million streams. Given the stark stylistic difference of these two, you would think this collaboration would have zero chance. Well, to be honest, it’s actually pretty decent. Faiyaz comes in with some of his smoothest vocals to date over the understated and lowkey skittering production. He steals the show to some degree, and we wouldn’t mind hearing him over the beat by himself someday. But let us know how you are feeling about it below.

“For Me (Remix)” – Loe Shimmy & Brent Faiyaz

Quotable Lyrics:

So much is in the way, babe
Ain’t no one above the two of us
And I know you put that on for me
I know you put that on for me
Stayin’ away (Yeah), I can’t stay away
And I know, and I know you put that on for me

Tommy Richman Teases New Song “Devil Is A Lie” And It Slaps

by

Tommy Richman has been making music for nearly a decade, but 2024 is his year. The singer broke out in a big way with the single “Million Dollar Baby.” Not only was a viral sensation on TikTok, but it crossed over and went number two on the Billboard Hot 100. Richman is now an R&B star. The pressure now, of course, is to prove that he’s not a one hit wonder. We’ve seen lots of “Million Dollar Baby” singers come and go. The next Richman single is going to be crucial, and it sounds like he’s got it under control.

Richman posted a teaser of his upcoming song, “Devil Is a Lie,” on TikTok on June 6. The brief clip sees him not only singing the song, but doing so on what appears to be a set for the music video. He sings in front of a car, and and posts up from a different angle where a camera can be seen moving past him. It’s led fans to believe that “Devil Is a Lie” is not only coming soon, but will have an official video attached as well. The song itself is ridiculously catchy. It captures the same bouncy, hooky energy of Richman’s first big smash, but with a throwback 2000’s feel. Many fans have rightfully pointed out that the singer seems to be channeling vintage Neptunes. The beat definitely sounds like something Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo would have cooked up for Nelly back in the day.

Tommy Richman Has Another Hit In The Works

This makes perfect sense, given Tommy Richman’s affiliation with another R&B star, Brent Fayiaz. He had a standout appearance on the Faiyaz mixtape Larger Than Life, which also revived the 2000s sound they both grew up idolizing. Richman even signed to Faiyaz’s creative agency, ISO Supremacy, furthering their like-mindedness. It’s also worth noting that Richman hails from Virginia, which is where artists like Faiyaz and the Neptunes originated. The singer spoke on the impact of VA’s musical history on his own working process during a 2023 interview with Miami New Times.

“There’s a lot of passion through the scene back home,” Richman explained. “And I feel like it’s because a lot of people don’t get a fair shake. It’s really hard to have your voice heard there. That’s probably why a lot of people from Virginia left, like Pharrell and Timbaland. It’s kind of key for an artist to leave their nest. That way, you can appreciate where you come from.” Richman wants honor the legacy of these artists, and “Devil Is a Lie” suggests he’s doing a great job.

21 Savage And Brent Faiyaz Offer Advice For A Romantic Rendezvous In The ‘Should’ve Wore A Bonnet’ Video

by

Atlanta rapper 21 Savage and Maryland crooner Brent Faiyaz have some advice for their romantic partners ahead of a rendezvous in their new video for “Should’ve Wore A Bonnet.” The video, shot in delirious lo-fi, follows the duo as they throw a high-class house party full of sexy women and their fellow entertainers. While they perform their seductive verses, bodies gyrate around them and rappers like Offset of Migos make cameo appearances. The low-key vibe fits the laid-back beat of the song, which appears on Savage’s January album, American Dream. They also performed the song together on Saturday Night Live earlier this year.

Savage is now just a little under a month away from his first US tour in five years to support the album. The American Dream Tour kicks off on May 1 in Vancouver with opening acts JID, Nardo Wick, and 21 Lil Harold. Savage’s previous 2019 tour wasa success, but any future movement was curtailed by his arrest by US Immigration and his five-year fight to secure citizenship against the threat of deportation to the UK. Meanwhile, Faiyaz is just six months removed from the release of his last album, Larger Than Life but has yet to announce a tour for the album.

21 Savage, Brent Faiyaz, And Summer Walker Laid On The Charm With Performances Of ‘Should’ve Wore A Bonnet’ And ‘Prove It’ On ‘SNL’

In his second performance of the night, 21 Savage stepped into his melodic bag on the Saturday Night Live stage. Still riding the high of his latest album, American Dream, 21 gave us a double dose of fan favorites.

He opened his second set with “Should’ve Wore A Bonnet.” Standing in front of a large window, the beautiful views of the New York City night sky added to the charm of the rhythmic rap and R&B crossover track. At the song’s chorus, 21’s collaborator Brent Faiyaz made a brief appearance, matching 21’s energy.

The music then transitions to another hit from the album — the Summer Walker collaboration, “Prove It.” The light in the room dims slightly, adding to the song’s intimate mood. Walker herself makes an appearance, nearly stealing the show in a two-piece red ensemble.

Walker has long been open about her anxiety and why she often does not look forward to live performances, however, the two appeared to have good musical chemistry onstage. After all, Walker and 21 have collaborated a total of four times — previously on Jhené Aiko’s “Triggered” remix, a song called “Secret,” and their Usher collaboration, “Good Good.”

You can see the performances of “Should’ve Wore A Bonnet” and “Prove It” above.

Brent Faiyaz & Lupita Nyong’o Drop Enticing & Mind-Bending Music Video For “WY@”

by

Brent Faiyaz had his fans and Lupita Nyong’o’s dazed and confused all day yesterday with a little teaser. He posted some shots and audio for a music video to his song “WY@.” It was a track that was a part of the rollout for his now-released album Larger Than Life. It is Brent’s fourth studio LP and it follows up his 2022 tape WASTELAND. The Maryland R&B songwriter had some stellar tracks on his 2023 endeavor such as “Moment Of Your Life” with Coco Jones. But, Brent’ Faiyaz’s “WY@” is the track getting more attention.

As we mentioned, the preview for the music video had people shocked when they saw him and Lupita about to make out. However, we did not get to see the full extent of that scene. That is, until today. To help celebrate Valentine’s Day, Brent dropped the five-minute long “movie” for “WY@.”

The full video is as equally confusing but intriguing as the teaser. It depicts him and Lupita acting out scenes for their upcoming action film. The part where the two artists are about to kiss winds up being a dream as he is back in his “bedroom” watching Lupita on a late-night talk show discussing said movie. However, that too is a scene for the motion picture. It really bends and twists your mind in all the best ways.

What are your thoughts on Brent Faiyaz’s music video for “WY@” with Lupita Nyong’o? Is this the best music video of 2024 so far, why or why not? Should they make another video in the future? Is this your favorite song from Larger Than Life? Do you have this album still in rotation and where do you rank among the rest of his discography?

Brent Faiyaz’s Music Video Teaser Featuring Lupita Nyong’o Is Filled With Sexual Tension, Leaving Fans Stunned

by

Brent Faiyaz likes to play different roles in his music. One of them is a troubled lover which is what he portrays himself to be on “WY@.” This was one of two singles for his 2023 album Larger Than Life. Brent grabbed features such as A$AP Rocky and ANT, Babyface Ray, Coco Jones, Missy Elliot, among others. The lead single was the track “Moment Of Your Life” featuring Coco. Since its original October 26 release, his fourth studio LP is the second to receive the CHOPPED NOT SLOPPED treatment.

In addition, two songs have gotten full-fleshed music videos. “WY@” will be joining the fray tomorrow on Valentine’s Day. While fans are undoubtedly excited, it is receiving some surprised reactions as well. The reason for that is because Lupita Nyong’o is going to have a starring role in it. According to TMZ Hip Hop, the Maryland R&B star dropped a trailer for the visuals, and they are steamy.

It makes sense based on the timing, but fans are a little concerned about how much sexual tension is between Brent and Lupita. Right before the teaser ends, the two begin to lock lips. That sent fans into a frenzy. One person writes, “Lupita please don’t play w me rn.” Another goes, “Brent baby I’m sick rn leave that girl alone.” The reason for all of these reactions is because the Kenyan actress is currently dating Joshua Jackson, a fellow actor from Canada. They made things official in December. It appears it is all in good fun, but watch it Brent, Lupita’s fans are watching.

What are your thoughts on Brent Faiyaz’s music video teaser for “WY@” with Lupita Nyong’o? Do you think that she is secretly getting entangled with the R&B singer? Or is it just all for the video? Is this your favorite song from Larger Than Life? Do you have this album still in rotation and where do you rank among the rest of his discography?
