Continuing a transformative journey and kickstarting a bold creative chapter, multiplatinum Hip-Hop luminary Quando Rondo returns with a new single “Luh Wodie.” Alongside the track, Quando revealed the official music video directed by Ace The Shooter.

The single sets the stage for the arrival of his anticipated third studio album, Here For A Reason, on November 15. His storytelling takes center stage on the project as he takes listeners on a journey of healing, self-discovery, and triumph.

When you know yourself, you can share your story. During a meteoric rise as one of hip-hop’s most enigmatic figures, Quando Rondo discovered himself. The Savannah, GA native went from D.I.Y. upstart to multiplatinum phenomenon, but he also simultaneously transformed from a complicated teen into a thoughtful young man. Along the way, he found fame and fortune, yet he lost friends and loved ones. 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.

Brooklyn drill luminary Fivio Foreign reaffirms his status as one of the genre’s most influential curators. Few artists have been as versatile for as long as Fivio, and his latest single, “Living Legend,” consummates his rise to international acclaim. 

The new song kicks off with deep bass and sharp snares. As the beat builds, we hear Fivio taking stock of his wins: “N**** this is living legend s***, in Paris on my leather s***.” He sets the scene for a vivid narrative of his come-up, offering an authentic glimpse into Fivio’s life beyond the recording studio. 

The NY giant’s versatility shines through past collaborations with artists such as Ye (formerly Kanye West), Drake, and Nicki Minaj, while his influence transcends into the fashion world with appearances at both New York Fashion Week (NYFW) and Paris Fashion Week. 

For listeners clamoring for more, “Living Legend” is synonymous with the powerfully gritty sound introduced on previously released singles like “BLACC OUT.” The return track, out now, follows on from Fivio’s February-released mixtape Pain & Love 2, which boasts features from Meek Mill, Swae Lee, Popcaan, Sheff G, and Lil Tjay, among others.

070 Shake Announces New Album Petrichor, Shares First Single “Winter Baby / New Jersey Blues”

070 Shake has officially announced her highly-anticipated album Petrichor, set to release on November 15th. Alongside the announcement, Shake dropped the album’s lead single, “Winter Baby / New Jersey Blues,” complete with a Bennett Watanabe-directed music video starring Shake and Lily-Rose Depp. The visually striking video, inspired by 1950s jukebox pop and transitioning into a more contemporary feel, reflects the evolving mood of the two-part single.

Produced by Dave Hamelin (Beyoncé, King Princess), Tyler Johnson (Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus), and Patrick Krief (The Dears), “Winter Baby / New Jersey Blues” showcases Shake’s genre-bending style, melding influences across hip-hop, pop, and electronic music. With Lily-Rose Depp cast as a classic femme fatale and Shake as her elusive love interest, the music video draws inspiration from Wong Kar-Wai’s Fallen Angels and Gaspar Noe’s Climax, creating an intoxicating narrative of forbidden desire.

Shake describes Petrichor as an album that evokes a feeling—akin to the smell of rain on dry soil after a drought. “It’s the perfect word to describe this body of music,” she told Cultured Magazine in a recent interview. The album promises a bold and intimate experience, blending acoustic guitars, piano, synths, and dembow rhythms in a way only Shake could deliver.

Executive produced by Shake and longtime collaborator Dave Hamelin, Petrichor follows her critically acclaimed debut Modus Vivendi (2020) and You Can’t Kill Me (2022). Shake has made a name for herself with emotional vocal delivery and futuristic production, further cemented by her appearance on RAYE’s hit single “Escapism” in 2023. Petrichor marks a significant step forward in Shake’s artistic evolution, offering fans a glimpse into her most personal work yet.

Today, Juice WRLD fans are being treated to two highly anticipated tracks: the melodic “Both Ways” and the dark, booming “Cavalier.” Both songs arrive as part of The Pre-Party (Extended) EP, released via Grade A and Interscope Records.

“Both Ways,” produced by Juice’s frequent collaborator Nick Mira alongside Pharaoh Vice, features a low-slung groove and effortlessly catchy melodies. The track comes with a video co-directed by Juice’s friend and collaborator, Trippie Redd, along with DotComNirvan. Juice WRLD delivers smooth verses and warnings, rapping, “If you’re crossing my streets, better look both ways.”

“Cavalier,” produced by 808 Mafia’s Purps and Ian Francis, offers a shadowy mix of moody guitar and skittering drums.

Juice showcases his lyrical prowess with raw energy: “They gon’ make me blow my fuse… I beat up the rap game, and I give it a bruise.”

This release follows The Pre-Party EP, dropped on September 9, a date beloved by Juice WRLD’s fans for its symbolism of turning negative into positive.
