Buddy And Blxst Give A Laid-Back Performance Of ‘Wait Too Long’ On ‘The Tonight Show’

by

Compton rapper Buddy’s new album, Superghetto, is out now. To celebrate and promote its release, he and fellow SoCal artist Blxst stopped by The Late Show to perform their standout from the new project, “Wait Too Long,” looking cooler than a fan in matching black-on-black ensembles.

Buddy opens the performance lounging on an armchair with a telephone — a nifty callback to the song’s music video — as Blxst croons the catchy chorus backed by a mellow groove from the duo’s band.

Superghetto is Buddy’s first new album since his 2018 debut, Harlan & Alondra. The album, which features Ari Lennox, Blxst, Tinashe, and T-Pain, clocks in at a smooth 10 tracks and features “Black 2,” “Hoochie Mama,” and “Wait Too Long” as singles.

As fans awaited the new album, Buddy delivered a string of solid guest appearances on projects like Dreamville’s Revenge Of The Dreamers III, which landed him his first platinum plaque, and Guapdad 4000’s debut album, Dior Deposits, as well as Tinashe’s latest on the single “Pasadena.” Buddy also teamed up with fellow LA area artist Kent Jamz to release a joint mixtape, Janktape, Vol. 1, spawning the single “Bad Boys.”

Superghetto is out now on RCA Records.

Buddy is just a couple of days away from releasing his long-awaited second album. The Compton native’s upcoming full-length effort, Superghetto, is set to be his first solo project since his 2017 debut album Harlon & Alondra. While it’s been a few years since Buddy released his debut, he’s been far from inactive during that time. He laid a collection of standout verses on Dreamville’s Revenge Of The Dreamers III, dropped Janktape Vol. 1 in 2020 with Kent Jamz, and he’s collaborated on songs with Lucky Daye, Guapdad 4000, D Smoke, and more.

Now, with Superghetto locked in to arrive on March 25, Buddy returns with the official tracklist for his sophomore album. Superghetto will gift listeners with ten songs, with two being singles that Buddy has already released: “Black 2” and “Wait Too Long.” Across the project’s ten songs, Superghetto will flaunt guest appearances from Tinashe, T-Pain, Ari Lennox, and Blxst. The songs with T-Pain, Ari, and Blxst will be Buddy’s first collaborations with them while the record with Tinashe will make for their third record together following “Glitch” and “Pasadena.”

Buddy Returns With The Hedonistic ‘Wait Too Long’ Video Featuring Blxst

by

Buddy is back and on his new song “Wait Too Long” he brings West Coast crooner Blxst along for an upbeat overture to a potential romantic partner. However, the woman in question is taking things slowly, and Buddy and Blxst offer plenty of reminders that they’re both in high demand with plenty of options, warning, “Don’t make me wait too long / Five liquor shots, I’m way too on / Time tickin’, I’ma bring my phone.”

The video opens with the aftermath of a party at Buddy’s place, with the Compton rapper taking a dip in the pool as guests sleep off their respective hangovers on the deck. Buddy grabs an old-fashioned phone (did you kids know phones used to have cords?) and uses it to stay in contact with an unseen paramour. Then, the video flashes back to the night in question, where a dinner party grows more debauched as the night continues, but Buddy remains unlucky in wooing any of the female guests.

“Wait Too Long” is the first single from Buddy’s newly announced album Superghetto, which is due March 25 on RCA Records and Buddy’s own Cool Lil Company. Superghetto will be the Compton rapper’s first full-length solo release since his 2018 debut Harlan & Alondra. Since then, he’s been a standout on Dreamville’s Revenge Of The Dreamers III and released the joint mixtape Janktape Vol. 1 with fellow Los Angeles native Kent Jamz.

Flo Milli’s ‘Ice Baby’ Video Recreates An Iconic ‘Flavor’ Of Love’ Scene

by

Mobile rapper Flo Milli pulls out all the stops in her “Ice Baby” video, recreating an iconic scene from the early 2000s reality show pioneer Flavor Of Love. Recruiting the 2006 season’s original winner Deelishis to reprise her role, Milli casts Compton rapper Buddy as Flavor Flav and herself as Tiffany Pollard, aka New York, and completely reproduces the reality maven’s viral meltdown after being rejected for the second time. The rest of the video finds Flo Milli rapping to the camera as she flexes her newfound wealth.

“Ice Baby” is presumably the first single from Flo Mili’s upcoming debut album, which she previously called “different from [her 2020 mixtape] Ho, Why Is You Here? because of the versatility,” saying, “I’ve been trying new things but you guys have got to stay tuned to see!” Milli debuted “Ice Baby” on the popular YouTube performance channel A COLORS Show, marking her return after a relatively quiet 2021 compared to the year before. In 2020, the newcomer made noise with a string of hits, including her appearance on Baby Tate’s “I Am,” as well as a strong BET Hip-Hop Awards Cypher performance. Earlier this year, those efforts rewarded her with placement on XXL‘s 2021 Freshman class. Now, fans can’t wait to see what she drops next.
