Flau’jae Drops Her Biggest Project To Date With “Best Of Both Worlds”

July 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“I love combining my two talents. Best of Both Worlds shows you don’t have to choose one path—you can excel in multiple arenas”, Flau’jae said in a press release according to Complex. “This project reflects who I am — a basketball player, a rapper, and someone who refuses to be put in a box. I hope my fans can feel the passion and dedication I’ve poured into every song”. The LSU Tigers junior guard has been one of the main stars of that basketball program. If she decides to enter the WNBA Draft, she will for sure be a face of that league as well. However, as she stated, Flau’jae is not settling for one career path.

Over the last few years, Ms. Johnson has been ramping up her musical activity. Most of the progress has been made through singles and EPs. But helping propel her forward have been some faces that hip-hop fans will recognize. For example, leading up to the release of Best Of Both Worlds, Flau’jae got in the studio with 2Rare and NLE Choppa for two out of the five promotional tracks. As a result, both have become two of her most popular songs on streaming. Additionally, she had the opportunity to work with a Louisiana legend in Lil Wayne for “Came Out A Beast”, which is also popping off right now.

Overall, Flau’jae has the talent, the star power, and the connections to really grow her platform in the rap industry. We do not have a lot of female basketball players that can also spit, so she is becoming a pioneer right before our eyes. What has also been a cool byproduct of Best Of Both Worlds for her is that she now has a podcast of the same name. According to Sports Illustrated, it is co-hosted by her mother and is receiving backing from the major sports media outlet, Overtime. If you want, you can check out Flau’jae’s first episode with WNBA great Breanna Stewart.

Flau’jae & NLE Choppa Team Up For Uber-Confident “AMF”

March 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Flau’jae and her LSU Tigers are doing a good job defending their title so far in the March Madness tournament. The three seed has taken out each opponent, (14) Rice and (11) Middle Tennessee State, by double digits. Against the latter program, they wound up pulling away in quarters three and four, thanks in part to Louisiana State’s star guard. She posted 21 points, four rebounds, two assists, a steal, and a pair of blocks. Number four was also efficient, shooting 60% from the field, 50% from three, and 80% at the free throw line.

To help celebrate reaching the Sweet 16 again on Friday, Flau’jae decided to drop a new song “AMF.” However, this is not just a solo single, though. NLE Choppa, a first-time collaborator, joined her in the recording booth for this boastful banger. If you take a look at the lyrics, there could be a subtle shot toward Middle Tennessee State.

Listen To “AMF” By Flau’jae & NLE Choppa

“I walked in so it’s up, it ain’t my fault / Hella tears in the lobby, it ain’t my fault,” Flau’jae raps. This could be a subtle reference to the star player who fouled out in the third quarter after getting tangled up with Angel Reese. A video went viral where she got really upset walking back to the bench after picking up her fifth and final foul. So much so in fact, that she wound up crying as she had to watch on from the sideline the rest of the way. “AMF” could have been made before that happened, but it is all up for speculation.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “AMF,” by Flau’jae and NLE Choppa? Do you think she can have a stable rap career regardless if she goes to the WNBA, why or why not? Is this one of her better songs as of late, why or why not? Do you think a new project is on the way soon? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Quotable Lyrics:

Hard, but I make it look easy
I’m in the lane on my own, ain’t nobody I’m needin’
Rollin’ window, wavin’ bye to the haters while I’m speedin’
Tell ’em ”Catch up, get up”, I hurt that core like a sit up
Ain’t got time for nobody, maine, that’s what the rich for
Foot on they neck, make ’em hiccup, they was sick, now they sicker

Flau’jae Johnson’s Brother Clowned For Jumping On The Court Amid LSU & South Carolina Brawl

March 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Flau’jae Johnson and the LSU Tigers were looking to do big things on Sunday as they played in the SEC finals. Overall, South Carolina came into the game undefeated and there was a sense that it would be a difficult game for the Tigers. In the end, that proved to be true as they lost the match 79-72. South Carolina came through with the SEC title and now, they get to go into March Madness with a huge advantage. However, the game wasn’t historic for the on-court product. Instead, it was the end-of-game fight that fans remember.

As we reported already, Flau’jae Johnson and Kamilla Cardoso got into it close to the end of the game. Johnson was shoved to the ground by Cardoso and it led to a bit of a brawl on the floor. Players had to be broken up and there were even some ejections that took place. However, the star of the entire scuffle was Flau’jae’s brother. In the footage below, you can see him spring into action to defend his sister. Once he made it to the floor, he realized he made a big mistake and was eventually taken away in handcuffs.

Flau’jae Johnson Vs. South Carolina

Following this event, Johnson was clowned on Twitter for his actions. After all, he is a grown man who jumped on the floor to go after college-aged women. It wasn’t the greatest look, and fans couldn’t help but point that out online. Not to mention, with the Tigers losing, it was simply insult to injury. Although, there were definitely some who appreciated Flau’jae’s brother for being a “real one” in this situation. It is clear that he has a lot of love for his sister, and he didn’t want her to be in a bad spot. Hopefully, he doesn’t do this again during March Madness.

Twitter Gets Some Jokes Off

Flau’jae Releases Surprise Collab Project With Babywave

February 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Flau’jae is a beast on the basketball court… and now she’s taking over the rap game!

Clocking in at four tracks, 4 Wave is produced by Babywave, who has worked with artists such as Gunna, Quavo, Takeoff, and Young Thug. Babywave also co-produced Young Thug & Gunna’s “Ski” which became a viral sensation, boasting over 54 million views on YouTube and counting.

Flau’jae says, “We’re the best duo and we are both so young. We both get it and we’re trying to find new sounds, and make new waves.”

In creating 4 Wave, the chemistry between Flau’jae and Babywave is reminiscent of one of Hip-Hop’s hardest duos, Future and 21 Savage, with the latter producing the former’s biggest hits. It’s also comparable to Kobe and Shaq in basketball, with Flau’jae constantly breaking down barriers on and off the court.

“4 Wave Freestyle,” the standout single from the project, is brought to life by an exciting video directed by 20kVisuals. Filmed in the sun-drenched streets of Miami, the video showcases Flaujae’s presence as she cruises on luxurious yachts and zips through the city in sleek, exotic cars, celebrating her hard-earned success.

Check out the visual below:

Flau’jae Is Coming For The Throne On “First Person Shooter” Freestyle

February 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Basketball and hip-hop go together like peanut butter and jelly. Both cultures complement each other so well and it is why a good deal of hoopers also rap on the side. What is really cool about it is that a fair number of them can actually spit. We have seen Damian Lillard build a successful side hustle with a handful of records to his credit. You also have others like Shaq, and Lonzo Ball to add to that list as well. However, there are not as many female players that pen bars. One who does and can forge a career is Flau’jae.

Flau’jae (Johnson) is currently attending Louisiana State University (LSU) and is a starting guard for the Tigers. She is having a great sophomore season. Flau’jae is averaging 13 points, and five assists on nearly 50% shooting for the 13th-best team in the country. While she is killing it on the basketball court, she is also setting the microphone on fire.

Listen To “First Person Shooter (FlauMix)” By Flau’jae

She has been putting out music since 2017 and over the past year or so, Flau’jae has been hitting her stride. In July 2023, she put out her debut project 4 My Fans with no features. The 20-year-old has a lot of ambition and wants to work with the best of the best, including J. Cole. While she does not have that collaboration yet, she did just drop a freestyle over his and Drake’s smash hit “First Person Shooter.” It is a much shorter version of the original, clocking in at the 1:47 mark. But, there are plenty of catchy and witty one-liners thrown in. Definitely do not be afraid to give this a shot (pun intended).

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “First Person Shooter (FlauMix),” by Flau’jae? Is this the best freestyle she has ever put out? Should she declare for the WNBA Draft and rap, or stick to just one career? Do you think an album will be coming sometime this year? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Flau’jae.
