Chance the Rapper Unveils Powerful Music Video "Buried Alive"

Today, Chance the Rapper, the renowned Grammy Award-winning artist known for his innovative and independent approach to music and storytelling, drops new single “Stars Out” on all streaming platforms. The track “showcases Chance’s distinctive lyrical prowess and his unyielding authenticity” (The Source Magazine). Both the music video and the lyrics of “Stars Out” depict Chance stepping into his own, flexing his signature style and delivering a powerful performance that underscores his status as a leading figure in the rap scene. The song’s teaser has became a hit on social media, with the TikTok video reaching over 5.5 million views, heightening anticipation for the single and the overall project.

Last month, Chance released a DJ Premier-produced single “Together” alongside a self-directed visual. The soul-stirring track both celebrates the Chicago home-front, while also presenting a rallying cry to protect it. The music video centers on lyrics of reminiscence and pride, against a backdrop of vintage personal home video and archival footage from community-led political movements through history. Housing Justice, displacement, and gentrification are alluded to throughout the record and Chance explicitly calls for a community benefits agreement from former President Barack Obama in the development of the new Presidential Library in the residential neighborhood of South Shore in Chicago, Il.

 With over two decades of tenure in the rap game, Lupe Fiasco is a savvy hip-hop veteran, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t take the time to hone and perfect his craft at every turn. Today, the Chicago MC unveils his latest album Samurai, a smooth yet cerebral, 8-track album brimming with ideas that radiates Lupe’s pure love for the art of emceeing and committing himself as a servant of the rap game. ‘The word ‘samurai’ means to serve,’ Lupe says on the album’s title. ‘My relationship to that word has always meant that you need to be at the service of other people, either in the overall community, or in this instance, the rap community at large that I’ve been a part of for years.’

Samurai, Lupe’s ninth studio album, is produced in full by Soundtrakk, making it their second full album collaboration following 2022’s DRILL MUSIC IN ZION, and the first album that Lupe and Soundtrakk worked on with their longtime manager and 1st & 15th co-CEO-Charles ‘Chill’ Patton, since 2007’s The Cool. Patton also serves as the album’s executive producer. It’s home to recent singles such as the title track, ‘Samurai,’ praised by Rolling Stone, HYPEBEAST, Clash and Complex plus the lyrical beatdown, ‘Cake,’ which shows off Lupe’s supreme ability to attack the beat with poetic and energetic bars.

Samurai tracklist:

Today, Grammy Award-nominated multiplatinum superstar Offset joins forces with Gunna for a summer single and music video tilted “Style Rare” out now via Motown Records. Watch the co-directed music video by Offset himself and Joshua “Mid Jordan” Farias. This notably marks Offset & Gunna’s second major collaboration of 2024, following Gunna’s rapidly rising hit “prada dem” [feat. Offset]. “Style Rare” showcases Offset’s creative side outside of the music self-directing his own videos.

Their undeniable chemistry surges through “Style Rare.” Synths accent a punchy beat as Offset and Gunna trade bars back and forth and practically finish each other’s sentences. The opulent hook hits hard, “Pull up Rolls truck, I’m rocking the rose one.” In the same spirit, Offset discloses his ambitions, “I’m trying to make 200M’s.”

The accompanying visual threads together highly stylized shots of dancers with closeups of these two hip-hop titans. Given all of the luxury fits, it speaks to their impact on the culture as global style icons.

Ready to scorch the summer, GRAMMY® Award-winning, chart-topping hip-hop superstar Lil Durk gets reflective on his captivating new single and music video entitled “Went Hollywood For A Year,” out now via Alamo Records. 

With “Went Hollywood For A Year,” Durk ponders the last 18 months and takes stock of his unbelievable journey so far. He holds nothing back as his unfiltered fast-paced lyrics glide over the glitchy piano-laced beat. The verses detail all of the year’s ups and downs, confronting addiction, losing himself, grappling with fame, and regaining purpose. Durk confesses, “I refuse to say I’m sorry, that’s how I was raised, I’m actually damaged,” going on to show raw remorse, “I went Hollywood for a year or two. I’m sorry, but I panicked.” Captured during a Father’s Day dinner with all of his children, the visual might just be his most heartfelt and honest yet. He recently shared a photo from the shoot, and it lit up social media and trended.

Detroit rap star 42 Dugg has teamed up with Sexyy Red to bring in the summer with “N.P.O.”, a bass-heavy anthem under the CMG Records/4PF/Interscope Records umbrella. Between fire verses from two of the Midwest’s finest, the hook spells it out and the video speaks for itself; “She ain’t got no panties on.”

“N.P.O.” is the latest taste of 42 Dugg’s forthcoming album 4eva Us, Neva Them, which is scheduled for an Independence Day release. On the catchy single, Dugg flexes about the finer things in life, rapping, “Chanel link with the pearls on it / I don’t care how much it cost, I said my girl want it.”

Red feeds right into Dugg’s energy, spittin’, “You ain’t got no money for me, b**** don’t even call my phone / A** phat nails done, and my weave super long.”

In the Young Chang-directed video, Dugg and Red do it up ostentatiously in Miami, showing off foreign cars and blinged out jewels from the day throughout the night, with all the women, including Red, showing why the song is called “N.P.O.”

Today, GRAMMY-nominated artist GloRilla releases the new video for her viral hit “TGIF” via CMG/Interscope Records. Directed by Jerry Morka and Diesel, Glo proves why she’s the life of the party, encouraging her friends to twerk atop her tour bus to dance alongside them during a fun beach day.

“TGIF” first gained traction when Glo previewed the song on social media, which created massive demand for the song’s release. She eventually started performing the song during stops on Megan Thee Stallion’s Hot Girl Summer Tour, with the crowd rapping along her memorable lyrics, “It’s 7 pm Friday, it’s 95 degrees…I ain’t got no n—a and no n—a ain’t got me.”

Hot on the heels of her recent triumph, the star-studded collaboration “Wanna Be (Remix)” featuring Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B, GloRilla is on a winning streak. First unveiled at Megan and Glo’s tour stop at Madison Square Garden last month, the trio’s dynamic performance and Cardi’s powerful verse catapulted the remix to the top of the charts, solidifying it as the official anthem for the summer. “Wanna Be” initially debuted at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, and with this star-studded remix, it has surged back into the top 15, a testament to GloRilla’s status as one of the genre’s top hitmakers. This week, Glo will conclude the domestic leg of Megan Thee Stallion’s Hot Girl Summer Tour, following a string of unforgettable shows in major cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Houston, and Glo’s hometown of Memphis.

After delivering a titillating rump shaker with “JUDY” last month, eight-time GRAMMY-nominated recording artist DaBaby (South Coast Music Group/Interscope Records) slows down the tempo for his reflective new song “DONE TRYING.” Charged by a heartfelt vocal sample, Baby ruminates on losing his cousin and his tireless work ethic. Though Baby remains steadfast in his goals, he admits he’s only human and has moments when he gets tired. The track’s genuine appeal is felt more in the visual, where Baby’s kids and nephew make cameos as he balances work and family life. “They know I paid them dividends to get they brother dropped / And never sold my soul, I might fuck ’round, be another ‘Pac,” raps Baby on the soul-driven track.

“DONE TRYING” resides on Baby’s three-track EP GHETTO SUPERSTAR, featuring his “GHETTO SUPERSTAR “(FREESTYLE)” and “JUDY” with rising Detroit star Skilla Baby. The three-pack is an appetizer to Baby’s upcoming project, slated to drop this summer.
