Justin Bieber’s fans are always ready for him to release new music, and lately, the pop star has been switching between two main lanes — straight ahead pop that’s more reminiscent of his earlier days, and hip-hop leaning collaborations that reflect where the mainstream sound has gone now. His last album, Justice, might not have pleased everyone, but the hit single “Peaches” was an example of the latter sound, featuring both Daniel Caesar and Giveon and on the track.
For his latest single, Bieber is collaborating with Travis Scott’s protege, Don Toliver, for “Honest,” a song that sticks to the same subject matter that permeates most of his songs these days — how happy he is being married to his new wife, Hailey Bieber (nee Baldwin). In the video, the pair are out in snowy climes, rapping and singing in beautiful ski chalets, riding snowmobiles out into the wilderness, and even smoking a blunt together around a fire. Doesn’t that sound like a nice vacation? Bieber recently praised his collaborator in an interview with Apple Music.
“He just has this like little bop about him and he’s very unique, he’s very Houston,” Bieber said in an interview with Ebro Darden on Apple Music 1. “Shout out to Houston. I just love his melodies these are honestly insane. He has a really amazing cadence to his songs and his music. And I’m just a genuine fan. And he just is himself. And that’s what I love about any artist that can just has a lane and does what they do and does it well.” Bieber is in the middle of a massive tour, so this is likely just a one-off, but you never know.

RapTV and Rolling Loud, two of the world’s most renowned hip-hop brands, are teaming together to host a two-day hip-hop music showcase at the famous Stubb’s Waller Creek Amphitheater on Friday, March 18, and Saturday, March 19.
Rolling Loud, the hip-hop festival behemoth, hired RapTV, the largest hip-hop social media platform, to grow its presence in the Red River Cultural District as it returns to Austin for another round of outstanding performances.

Justin Bieber brought out Don Toliver as one of his surprise guests at his Los Angeles show for his Justice Tour, and now the Don seemingly has new music on the way.
The Houston native hasn’t dropped a project since his 2021 Life of a Don, but it seems as if the “Flocky Flocky” rapper is preparing us for some new music.

Although Toliver hasn’t dropped anything this year, he’s been working. This isn’t the only song he previewed for his fans. Last month he previewed a snippet via social media and he’s on Kanye West’s Donda 2.
Toliver is also set to perform at Rolling Loud Miami.
There is a great chance this preview is of one of the songs that will be on a follow up to the The 27-year-old’s Life of a Don album, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart (dated Oct. 23).
Life of a Don also went No. 2 on Billboards Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart. To date that is Toliver’s highest-charting project. Continue the conversation on social media.
