In the clip for the catch tune — inspired by the 1995 hit “My Boo” by Ghost Town DJ’s — Muni and Saweetie use the dating site Blk to get with some hot guys. Muni matches with a dude who drives a truck that sells candy and ice cream and rides around with him while enjoying some popsicles. Meanwhile, Saweetie plays basketball in her bedroom with another guy before collapsing on the bed with him.

The clip ends with the two judging what seems to be an impromptu dance contest, where squads of women and men dance to “Baby Boo” on a makeshift outdoor stage.

“Baby Boo” is the first single from Muni’s EP, Public Displays of Affection Too.

After releasing last month’s double feature in a new vlog, “24 Hours In Tijuana” and visual for “Okay Okizzle,” Def Jam’s first-ever signed Mexican recording artist OHNO kick-off the summer with the drop of a new EP, titled Sunshine In A Bag. Stream it below via Def Jam/One Percent Sounds.

Sunshine In A Bag is a five-song collection of new music from the Los Angeles native and generates anticipation for a full-length major-label debut album. The new EP displays the artist’s buzzing Spanglish rap style that has earned him a cult-like following of a legion of primary screaming women. And with Latin Hip Hop at its peak on a global scale right now, OHNO’s popularity comes with perfect timing.

OHNO’s EP marks the first in two years since 2019’s Focused. OHNO signed with Def Jam in 2021 after a phenomenal run as an independent artist that produced a laundry list of hit songs, like “Get Sawvy,” “Me & My Bitch” and “No Dummy” that has over eight million streams on Spotify.

Kaash Paige Is Intentional About Her Relationship Status in New Song ‘Girlfriend’

Kaash Paige returns with visuals for her latest single, “Girlfriend.” In the song, the 21-year-old is intentional about letting her potential romances know that she is not ready for a relationship. She sings:

So you wanna be my girlfriend?
Don’t fall in love with a b**ch like me

In the same breath, she has valid reasons to live and enjoy life on her own terms without the pressures of commitment. She sings:

I can hear them screaming out, Tequila, Tequila
Bad b**ches they smoking all the reefer
Where the keys at talking no Alicia
Where the freaks at dancing by the speakers

Kaash Paige also references her past experiences as well. She’s only used to “goodbyes,” which implies the inconsistencies of her previous relationships.

The video is a perfect parallel of the record’s lyrics. In several scenes, she is posted with different women. On the other hand, when she references “tequila” and “bad b**ches by the speakers,” she is enjoying the party.

“Girlfriend” is Paige’s first single release since her 2021 track, “Bad Girl.”

Check out the latest song and visuals from Def Jam’s Kaash Paige.

Ludacris Receives An Honorary Degree From His Former College Georgia State

Ludacris celebrated a major milestone in a place he holds near and dear this past Wednesday. Georgia State University, the college he previously attended from 1996 to 1998 before dropping out to sign with Def Jam, presented him with an honorary Bachelor of Science in Music Management degree during their master’s ceremony.

The Atlanta rapper addressed over 900 graduates seated in Center Parc Stadium, calling GSU his home before encouraging them to chase their passions and be leaders within their communities. With his wife, mother, and daughters in attendance, he even treated attendees to the chorus of his classic “Welcome To Atlanta,” to which many joined in rapping with him, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. His mother’s presence was especially meaningful, as she was initially concerned about him leaving school to pursue music.

“Mama,” he said, “I made it.”

Despite not completing his initial goal at GSU, the 44-year-old has given back to the university in multiple ways, operating as an artist-in-residence since 2019 and inspiring a law course focused on the music industry titled “The Legal Life Of Ludacris.” Ludacris is a three-time Grammy Award winner and was recognized by The Screen Actors Guild as Outstanding Cast In A Motion Picture for 2005’s Crash. He also recently created the Netflix series Karma’s World.

Logic to Def Jam: “Why You F**king Up My Releases?

Logic Says Def Jam is Refusing to Pay Lil Wayne for Feature Verse

Logic just dropped off a new single but he doesn’t seem pleased with how Def Jam is operating. The rapper called out the label but says the label’s CEO Tunji Balogun is not at fault in a video on social media.

“Def Jam, why you fucking up my releases, man?” Logic opened. “First of all, I love you Tunji. Tunji’s my guy, he ain’t got nothing to do with this. What the fuck is going on? I told Def Jam that I wanted to release my shit as a two-pack and I just found out that they’re releasing it as two singles at the same time. What kind of shit is that?”

Logic pulled back the curtain and revealed that his music videos were delayed in an effort to not upset partners. Logic would fire back at that as well. “I don’t give a fuck about none of that shit. I care about my fans, man. I care about hip-hop. I are about music.”

You can hear it from him below.
