Laray Da Savage Goes Through The Pain In “HeartBreaks” Visual

maxresdefault 2

Trae Tha Truth co-signed Laray Da Savage shows you can suffer from a broken heart any time, no matter who you are, but it’s how you pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and move on afterward in the new music video for the second single “HeartBreaks,” from the recently released Be Right Back album. 

Fresh off the wave of the project’s lead single, “BBL,” Da Savage shows a more vulnerable side as he raps about the icebox where his heart used to be following a break-up. “I had my heart broken / But now my mind focused / I still ain’t get my proper closure / People goin’ ghost / The Devil want my soul / Why they hatin’ on me? All I did was spread love,” he raps.

In the Keanu Livigni-directed music video, Laray Da Savage endures the harsh coldness inside an empty home to resemble the pain created by the desertion and backstabbing that was committed by a lover. As the darkness surrounds him, the self-proclaimed “Voice of the Streets” reveals raw emotions and finds the needed clarity to focus on self-love and prosperity. 

 “I was feeling neglected by love and had a hard time dealing with heartbreak, so I channeled my emotions into the music and sang my heart out,” said Laray on the song’s conception.

Be Right Back, available now via Sankofa Sounds, is composed of 15 carefully curated cuts and was executive produced by Ricky Rich & Danny Bvndz of Studio 713. Along with “BBL” and “HeartBreaks,” the project also includes breakout tracks, like “Wavy,” “Beautiful Ending” and “Lose My Friends.” Laray is on his self-promoted album tour right now until May, hitting 14-cities, including New York City, Atlanta, Miami, Chicago, and, of course, Houston. 

An artist-to-watch of 2022. Eager to make this his breakout year, the Houston native plans to strike while the iron’s hot as he is currently working on the follow-up to Be Right Back, as-yet-titled, slated for release later this year. “It took a whole lotta pain & sacrifices just to get here,” Laray said in an Instagram caption with a photo of him, Trae Tha Truth and Danny Worldstar.

On the rise recording artist Jose Bodega and his magnetic street raps continue to build on the momentum from his previous singles “The Statement” and “Tool On Ya” featuring Yella Beezy that will lead to a highly-anticipated debut album with a brand new single. For the latest release, Mr. Bodega links up with fellow Dallas star, Trapboy Freddy, to unleash the cerebral collaborative effort “Silence” with an accompanying video.

In the Clear Motion Films-directed music video, Bodega and Freddy move like thieves in the night inspired by classic mob rules to ambush the opps and ascend to the top of the throne in the Underworld. While counting blue-face hundreds, the two sprays diss shots and dismemberment plans at unbeknownst enemies like an uzi that are accompanied with shotgun blasts in blatantly disrespectful bars, like “You a baby boy, I’m a gangsta” Freddy raps. 

“Silence” is Bodega and Freddy’s second collaboration on a song. The two originally linked up in 2020 on Trapboy Freddy and Yella Beezy’s “Tool On Ya” off their collaborative project titled My Brothers Keeper. For Bodega, “Silence” follows previously released buzzers “Roll On” and “AMG” dropped in 2021.

Gritty. Sly. Stylish. Bodega’s extravagant ensemble may be familiar, but his detailed street tales heard on his debut single, “Harder Than Yours,” are where he differs from others. 

Not your average southern rapper with simplistic wordplay and hooks drenched in trunk-rattling bass. He’s methodical, authentic, and clever with every slick-talking line that infects listeners instantly. You would swear he just stepped out of an old school with a diamond in the back, sun-roof top, diggin’ in the scene with a gangsta lean.

Trapboy Freddy appears on the track and video courtesy of 300 Entertainment. “Silence” is available everywhere via Profit Music Group.

Outside of the a-list features and hit singles, the debut delivers a standout cut in “Counting Time,” which samples the R&B classic by Anthony Hamilton, “Charlene.” On the song, Mooski reminisces on a relationship that ran its course while pleading with his lover for a second chance. He sings, “Time (More time) / All she ever wanted was mine / Blinded by my greed, I failed to read all of the signs / Love is all she need, forget the Dior and the diamonds / Deep off in my mind / Thinking ’bout the thousand times / She said she would leave, but this time she wasn’t lyin’ / This time she was ready / And she didn’t regret it / She left our picture but she didn’t forget it (That’s how I know it’s over).”

The new certification was also met with even bigger news for the Bama Boy. Last week it was revealed that Mooski is expecting his first child, a son, arriving this April. Making the announcement on Instagram with a photo of him and his girlfriend holding up baby clothes that said “Lil Moo” with the caption, “All smiles knowing my son Ozzie is coming in April. Daddy waiting on you lil one #1stborn.”

Tana Talk 4 Digital Cover Art 1

Benny The Butcher’s first project of 2022 is Tana Talk 4, the fourth installment of his influential Tana Talk series. Tana Talk 3 was released in 2018 and quickly became a fan favorite. Benny enlisted The Alchemist and Daringer to handle all of the production for Tana Talk 4 in a real return to form.

“I love Tana Talk 3, it’s what got me familiar with the people.  It’s the real me, who I was then. It’s my baby, my firstborn” Benny said.  “It brought me here and made me.”

The project’s breakout singles and videos include “Johnny P’s Caddy” featuring J.Cole and Benny’s ode to his Montana Ave days, “10 More Commandments” featuring Diddy, in which Benny deftly updates Notorious B.I.G. & DJ Premier’s classic with ten more of his own Pyrex.

“With Tana Talk 4 I have a chip on my shoulder.  No one thinks I can recreate that energy.  I’m not trying to create the same energy, but TT3 was who I was then, what I was going through.  The things you hear me talking about on Tana Talk 4, is me now and who I’ve become” Benny added.  “It’s special to me because I get to talk about things that I would never talk about on any other project. Tana Talk is the series where you get me, my deepest, darkest feelings.  I’m sure people are going to be surprised at the things I’m saying on TT4, but they are also going to get an inside look at things.”

In addition to Diddy and Cole, Tana Talk 4 features Boldy James, Conway The Machine, Westside Gunn, Stove Good Cooks, and 38 Spesh. You can see the “10 More Commandments” video and hear the new album below.
