Ice Cube Drops Bold New Single “IT’S MY EGO” Ahead of Forthcoming Album

October 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Iconic entertainment mogul and rapper Ice Cube has released his new single, “IT’S MY EGO,” featuring production from Grammy Award-winning, multi-platinum producer E-A-Ski. The track, available now on all streaming platforms, is a teaser for his much-anticipated album MAN DOWN, set to release November 22 via Lench Mob Records, distributed by Hitmakers.

Accompanying the single, Cube has unveiled the official music video, directed by Gabriel “VideoGod” Hart, known for his work on visuals like Migos’ “Versace” and Jeezy’s “My President is Black.” The video showcases Ice Cube playing multiple characters—from a minister to a fast food worker, to an extravagant version of himself in a bold blue fur coat. The visual’s vibrant storytelling aligns with the song’s powerful message: speak up, stand firm, and be unapologetically yourself.

The video, featuring cameos from Mike Epps, Omarion, Paula Jai Parker, and WC, adds extra flair to Cube’s already dynamic presence.

With sharp lyricism and a hard-hitting beat, “IT’S MY EGO” reflects Ice Cube’s signature style, blending West Coast rap with R&B elements. Cube describes the track as a reminder to stay true to oneself, stating, “It’s easier to stay true to yourself than constantly change for others’ expectations.”

Pre-save MAN DOWN now to prepare for the West Coast legend’s return with new music.

October 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Multi-platinum R&B star Tinashe has released the official music video for her latest single, “No Broke Boys,” from her newest album Quantum Baby. Produced by Ricky Reed, the song blends pop and R&B to create an unapologetic empowerment anthem, quickly climbing the charts.

Directed by Aerin Moreno, the video showcases Tinashe and her dance crew squaring in a fierce battle on a high school football field. The sultry choreography reinforces the message of self-worth, reminding women not to settle for less. In a nod to her earlier visual for “Nasty,” the video concludes with a surprising twist: Tinashe, as a suspect, is apprehended following a crime spree in the desert, leaving fans eager for what’s next.

Tinashe premiered the video during her Los Angeles tour stop, where nearly 6,000 fans got an early look at the cinematic project.

Earlier this year, Tinashe released her highly anticipated album Quantum Baby, her seventh studio album and the second in a trilogy, following last year’s BB/ANG3L. The hit single “Nasty” from the album topped the Rhythm radio charts and has been streamed over 500 million times worldwide.

Tinashe is currently on her Match My Freak World Tour, which kicked off with a sold-out show in Anaheim and will span major cities across North America before heading overseas.

Never letting his foot off the gas, he built a bulletproof catalog of bangers highlighted by platinum singles—“ABG,” “I Remember” [feat. Lil Baby], and “Imperfect Flower”—as well as a slew of gold singles, namely “Bacc to the Basics,” “Dope Boy Dreams,” “New Ones” [with NoCap], and “Scarred from Love,” to name a few.
