Coi Leray’s ‘Official Last Remix’ Of ‘Players’ Features Tokischa

by

Coi Leray presented SZA with the Woman Of The Year honor at Billboard‘s 2023 Women In Music event at the start of March. Leray is moving like she wants that Women Of The Year title for herself in 2024 — from her inclusion in Hulu’s RapCaviar Presents and Sabrina Carpenter’s “Nonsense” remix to continuing to refresh her November 2022 single “Players.”

“Players” already got a remix featuring Busta Rhymes, but Leray isn’t stopping there. When you keep hitting home runs, why stop swinging? She just dropped another “Players” remix featuring the rising Dominican star Tokischa.

“The official last remix,” Leray wrote on Instagram, complete with three fire emojis. “I NEED ALL MY LATINAS TO GO CRAZY THIS WEEKEND.”

“Diamond chain, that’s my bestie / Trust nobody, these b*tches is messy,” Tokischa raps in English, seamlessly transitioning from her Spanish bars. “Big ass smile, my mouth gotta bling / Thinkin’ ’bout money, not thinkin’ ’bout him / Soy la perra, you already know me / Wanna eat my ass en mi penthouse suite.”

“Players” became Leray’s first-ever Billboard Hot 100 top-10 hit, slotting in at No. 9 on the chart dated April 1. She celebrated the news with an Instagram reel set to Tee Grizzley’s “Winning” captioned, “Top 10 [five heart emojis, three party popper emojis] thank you again for all your support! each and every one of you [prayer hands emoji].”

Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” is a hit and it’s not slowing down: It came out about two-and-a-half months ago and it’s still the top song in the country. On the new Billboard Hot 100 chart dated April 1, “Flowers” is once again No. 1 for an eighth total week. The Endless Summer Vacation favorite was Cyrus’ first song to debut at No. 1 and is her second chart-topping single after “Wrecking Ball.”

She’s not the only one making noise on this week’s Hot 100, though, as two artists have made their debut in the top-10 on the new chart: Coi Leray’s “Players” has risen to No. 9 while TikTok-boosted country star Bailey Zimmerman’s “Rock And A Hard Place” is No. 10.

Previously, Leray had two songs reach the top 40 of the Hot 100: 2019’s “No More Parties” featuring Lil Durk peaked at No. 26 while last year’s Nicki Minaj collaboration “Blick Blick” topped out at No. 37. “Players” samples the Grandmaster Flash classic “The Message” and has become a hit on TikTok. She also recently released a Busta Rhymes-featuring remix of the song.

Zimmerman, meanwhile, is readying his debut album, Religiously. The Album., which is set for release on May 12 via Warner Music Nashville. “Fall In Love,” his debut single that immediately preceded “Rock And A Hard Place,” managed a Hot 100 peak at No. 29.

Coi Leray Joins Sabrina Carpenter On Super Catchy “Nonsense (Remix)”: Stream

by

Coi Leray kicked off 2023 on a high note with the arrival of her “Players” single in early January. Since then, we’ve heard various reimaginings of the same song, from DJs like David Guetta and Saige. On Friday (March 24), the Trendsetter shared another updated version of the smash hit – this one featuring Busta Rhymes – and that’s not all she had in store for fans this weekend.

Aside from putting a spin on her own release, Leray also came together with pop star Sabrina Carpenter on the remix of her “Nonsense” single. It’ll surely be replaying in your head with just one listen. “This song harder than keepin’ a secret / He said my head’s crazy, I’m a genius / What’s better than one pop star? It’s two, bitch / It’s Coi Leray and ‘Brina on the remix,” both artist’s vocals croon in an early preview of the new joint effort.

For her verse, the Boston-born baddie had plenty of her usual flirtatious bars to tantalize listeners. “This boy got me goin’ crazy / We just started dating, now he say he want a baby / He said, ‘Coi, you so amazing / ‘You a freak in the sheets, in the streets, you such a lady,’” Leray teases her bedroom talents.

As Uproxx notes, the original version of “Nonsense” arrived as the breakout single from Carpenter’s July 2022 album, Emails I Can’t Send. The project peaked at No. 56 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart last month, as well as at No. 18 on the Pop Airplay chart in early March. With this collaboration, the blonde beauty is sure to breathe life and love from audiences back into her project.

Quotable Lyrics:

Coi Leray & Busta Rhymes Have A Blast On “Players (DJ Saige Remix): Stream

by

If we had to crown a remix queen following this weekend’s roster of new releases, it would undeniably be Coi Leray. The Boston-born rap star not only joined Sabrina Carpenter on the updated version of her “Nonsense” track, but she also came through with another must-hear collaboration of her own. Following David Guetta’s “Players (Remix)” from earlier this month, she tapped Busta Rhymes to join her on the same track, this one reimagined by DJ Saige.

“Create a block forever knowin’ my shit hot / Flirtin with a n*gga while twerkin’ on TikTok,” the lyrical legend raps on his verse. “Hurtin’ everything like we workin’ the pitch rock / Playin’ with the cooch like Penelope Pitstop.” Busta also joins Leray on the hook, throwing in some adlibs while she reminds listeners that “girls is players too.”

On the refrain, which many listeners will recognize from countless TikTok videos, the Trendsetter hitmaker sings, “Yeah, ’bout to catch another flight / Yeah, the apple bottom make him wanna bite / Yeah, I just wanna have a good night / I just wanna have a good night.” The original release of “Players” already has upwards of 150M streams on Spotify, and it’s entirely likely this new version will eventually grow to match that.

Leray seems to be gearing up for a big year of music, following her successful run in 2022. She shared “Anxiety” as her first single before teaming up with YungManny and Zubin on “Givenchy.” Following that came “Blick Blick” with Nicki Minaj, her debut album, and a slew of other songs including “Wasted,” “Fly Sh!t,” and “Hold Me Down” with 42 Dugg from CMG’s “Gangsta Art” album.

Coi Leray Brings Busta Rhymes To Prove They Are ‘Players’ On A Brand New Remix

by

Coi Leray added none other than Busta Rhymes on her new song, “Players,” for an added verse of the remixed hit.

“It never ends, the way we doing it and how we f*cking them up again / Look how we got them, DJ Saige killing them with the blend,” Busta breaks out in his lyrics.

The remix addition also felt a little like fate, as “Players” previously got a mashup from DJ Saige with Busta Rhymes’ 1997 song, “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See.”

Leray samples Grandmaster Flash’s 1982 song, “The Message,” on “Players.” The song marks her fourth in Billboard‘s Hot 100 songs chart — and could very well enter the Top 10. (It already has in the UK and Australia, according to the publication.)

“I started working with more writers towards the end of last year,” she also shared with Billboard about the creation process of “Players,” which included a collaborative session. “I worked with writers in the past, but I remember I was a little stubborn — like, ‘I don’t need nobody to write for me.’ My pen game is amazing but this year is the first time I learned structure to a song. Like the verse, pre-chorus, bridge, hook.”

Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Nonsense’ Just Became An Even Bigger Banger With A Coi Leray Remix

by

Sabrina Carpenter isn’t dating Shawn Mendes, according to Shawn Mendes, but people fascinated by her romantic life were semi-satisfied by a fictional kiss between her and Charlie Puth to tease their upcoming collaborative single.

Puth’s “That’s Not How This Works” featuring Carpenter is due out April 14, but who wants to wait that long for new music? No need! Carpenter dropped her “Nonsense (Remix) with Coi Leray today, March 23.

They teased the remix hours before with a clever snippet featuring both of their vocals, “This song harder than keepin’ a secret / He said my head’s crazy, I’m a genius / What’s better than one pop star? It’s two, b*tch / It’s Coi Leray and ‘Brina on the remix.”

In the full track, Leray complements the song’s infectious, lovesick hook with a dizzying flow: “This boy got me goin’ crazy / We just started dating, now he say he want a baby / He said, ‘Coi, you so amazing / ‘You a freak in the sheets, in the streets, you such a lady.’”

“Nonsense” is the breakout single from Emails I Can’t Send, her album from last July — peaking at No. 56 on the Billboard Hot 100 in early February, peaking at No. 18 on the Pop Airplay chart earlier this month, and currently sitting at No. 42 on the Radio Songs chart.

Carpenter and Leray attended the Billboard Women In Music 2023 event earlier this month. Carpenter presented TWICE with the Breakthrough Award, while Leray presented SZA as Woman Of The Year.
