Masego goes international for the video to his new hit single “You Never Visit Me.”
The new video takes Masego over to Brazil, where film director Malison Soares records a tropical environment, capturing the coastline. In the beautiful scene, Masego dines with fans, rides motorcycles, and even gets the party going.
With all the fun times to be had on the tropical escape, Masego is still missing bae, performing with the Brazilian band Afrocidade.
A North American tour was announced by Masego, and it will begin on March 13, 2023, at The Observatory in Santa Ana, California.

Tickets are currently available.
Masego began a multi-year headline tour after the release of his debut album, Lady Lady, during which he sold out venues and performed at festivals on all continents except Antarctica. His critically acclaimed EP Studying Abroad: Extended Stay, which received a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Progressive R&B Album, is now on tour in Europe. The Sydney Opera House hosted a performance during the tour’s sold-out Australian leg. In his career thus far, he has accumulated approximately two billion global streams combined.
Brooklyn rapper RRose RRome is the ultimate hustler, who many have called the kindred spirit of hip hop giant 50 Cent. Fifty is one of RRose’s top 5 artists; and surprisingly made an appearance at a release party for RR in Dreams’ Gentleman Club in the heart of Queens, NY.
The Boy is back with another video, digging back into the HER LOSS album to drop off a look into his life for the “Jumbotron Shit Poppin” video.
The video is shot from the perspective of “this is 72 hours for us” and follows Drake from a private villa to the Rolex store, club, on stage, dinner, and more.
The video is the second of 2023 for Drake. He previously joined Dancehall superstar Popcaan who announced his new album, Great Is He, will be released on Jan. 27th, via OVO Sound, after unveiling the cover artwork and promising new music earlier this week.
The new album embodies the dancehall superstar’s typical blend of bombast, brooding, and brukking out, while also delving into the genre’s flexibility and importance on current music.
To get fans ready for the forthcoming album, Popcaan teamed with Drake to drop off the first OVO single of 2023 “We Caa Done.” The new single is co-produced by TRESOR and Batundi and comes with a video directed by Theo Skurda during the team’s trip to Turks and Caicos.
“‘We Caa Done’ is all about persevering,” Popcaan said of the single. “We don’t think about limits. We’re living the life we’ve dreamed of, and despite what the haters and naysayers have to say, we will only be greater.”
You can hear the new single and see the video below.
Tennessee rappers Moneybagg Yo and GloRilla join forces for the ferocious new single “On Wat U On,” out today via CMG/N-Less/Interscope Records. The ready-made crowd-pleaser, which finds the collaborators trading bars, cleverly breaks down a lover’s quarrel. The no-holds-barred track is accompanied by a fiery video that captures a heated argument about trust and infidelity. Watch it HERE.
Over a classic, bass-heavy beat and propulsive piano arrangement, Bagg expresses exasperation about the work it takes to make romance go the distance. “Asking me ‘bout b****es in a city that she think I’m f***ing,” he spits, “Look dead in her eyes before I lie, I’d rather tell her nothing.” GloRilla isn’t about to take that disrespect and fires back: “Ain’t got s*** to say now huh, dumbass?” As catchy as it is relatable, “On Wat U On” is a surefire hit.
The visualizer takes a literal approach, showing a couple in the midst of a heated argument. Inspired by scenes from the cult classic movie “Baby Boy,” GloRilla finds a pack of contraceptives in the backseat when they pull up to a drive-thru window and calls out Bagg. The back-and-forth makes its way back to their apartment, and finally outside again, where Glo picks up a large rock and aims for his windshield to truly show her anger.
There’s no secret that Brooklyn drill mainstay Bobby Shmurda is a “no snitching” advocate, but it appears that the “Hot N***a” took his ideals a step further after teasing a new track that seems to be aiming at YSL’s Gunna titled “Rat N****s.”
Some say that Shmurda is aiming at Gunna, who took a plea deal in the YSL RICO case, which still leaves Young Slime Life capo and Gunna’s partner in rhyme, Young Thug, still behind bars. In the lyrics, Shmurda rapped, “Took a plea deal … left your dog in that pen … why they playback in that courtroom, keeps playing back in his head.”

Shmurda’s loyalty to his crew can never be questioned, as he added two years to his sentence in 2016 to take five years off Rowdy Rebel’s sentence.
Gunna took an Alford Plea in his RICO conspiracy case, which his lawyer Steven Shadow says does not influence the result of any of the other YSL members’ cases.
Today, multi-platinum songstress Queen Naija kicks off the new year with “Let’s Talk About It”, a slow-burning but unstoppable new single that calls out all the self-absorbed and drama-obsessed men of the world. Accompanied by a cinematic video that finds Queen taking back her power, “Let’s Talk About It” arrives around the Detroit-bred artist’s milestone five-year anniversary of her breakthrough hit “Medicine” (a double-platinum smash that premiered on New Year’s Day in 2018 and immediately set her meteoric rise in motion).
Co-written by Queen with Mike Woods (G-Eazy, Tink, Ty Dolla $ign) and producer Oak Felder (Kehlani, Nicki Minaj, Pink Sweat$), “Let’s Talk About It”is a powerful piece of R&B-pop built on her ultra-smooth soothing vocals.
North Carolina’s Jass Clutch is on the rise and has no plans of stopping any time soon. With her new visual “Whole Lot,” out now, she linked up with Memphis rapper Finesse2Tymes, to help her deliver the perfect cadence on the track.
Finesse2Tymes appears in the visual and the two exchange bars on “Whole Lot,” which establishes the direction that Jass Clutch will take this year. 2023 will be a huge year for the rising artist, and this single sets the tone undoubtedly.
Both rappers use the dark instrumental from “Whole Lot” to celebrate their achievements and rap about their celebrations.
Jass, who already has a feature and a video from one of the most well-known rappers in the hip-hop scene, is poised to release a record that’s sure to catch fire and let people know that she’s one to watch in 2023.
Jass’s music is full of high energy while delivering gritty bars over hard-hitting bass instrumental beats. The music video, however, shows Jass’s exciting new visual, which features her taking us through the parts of her old stomping grounds.
Kicking off another chapter, critically acclaimed Dallas, TX rapper Trapboy Freddy returns with his new No Distractions mixtape, available now on all streaming platforms via 300 Entertainment.
The 14-track project boasts anthems such as the new single “Switches” feat. Lil Keed & Yella Beezy. Trapboy Freddy’s scorching flow takes center stage as fellow Dallas stalwart Yella Beezy pops off with a hypnotic cameo of his own. Illuminating his unbreakable spirit, the late Lil Keed shines on with a punchy appearance as well.
No Distractions serves as the successor to Trapboy Freddy’s fan-favorite 2021 tape, Distractions.
After a season of turbulence, he opted to ignore the static from the media and the game and instead hone in on what matters the most—the music. As such, he delivers a dynamic, diverse, and potentially definitive body of work. “I tuned out all the noise,” says Trapboy Freddy on his new project. “Since the release of ‘Distractions,’ I dealt with some legal issues and became a father, so my priorities have completely shifted. Trivial issues that used to bother me don’t affect me anymore. I’m focused on my music, my family, my businesses and not repeating old mistakes. No Distractions is more than a mixtape title, it’s a lifestyle.”
In addition to production from Bankroll Got It, DJ Chose, Blame It On Monstah, BootMeUpJT, and more, he joins forces with Hotboy Wes and Lil Jairmy on the head-nodding “YM,” while diamond-certified rap superstar Fetty Wap pulls up for the impactful and infectious “Selling Dreams.” Rap and R&B songstress Enchanting lends her seductive touch to “Down A** Chick” and his 300 label mate Hunxho brings his signature energy on “Tell Me Nuthin.” The project culminates with a pensive and powerful moment punctuated by his signature delivery on “Lonely At The Top.” It also includes previously-released singles “Too Much Booty” and “Dream Of.”
Trapboy Freddy rolled out of Dallas, TX with a focused, fierce, and fiery flow, and he continues to ignite the culture. After stirring up buzz with a series of independent projects, his vision crystallized on 2021’s Distractions. The latter posted up over 10 million total streams powered by standouts such as “Buss It Open” feat. Lakeyah and “Freddy” feat. Young Thug. In addition to acclaim from REVOLT, XXL, and more, he has collaborated with everyone from the late Young Dolph to multiplatinum Dallas phenomenon Yella Beezy along the way. Now, he’s primed for a major moment with No Distractions and much more to come.
The visual album features a tribute to the late rapper Lil Keed, who is featured on the album, and Kayo’s labelmates Young Thug and Gunna, who are currently incarcerated.
Yung Kayo, born Kai Green, is an 18-year-old rapper taking the scene by storm with his up-tempo futuristic rap style that melds his fluid flows and undeniable energy.
While Kayo’s focus is on music, his creative side is also prevalent in everything he does. The cover art for his EP Sweet16 was commissioned by him and created by a graphic designer he discovered.
In addition, for Kayo fashion is something that has always been present as it originally started as something that came natural to him and would transition into him gracing runways during Paris Fashion Week.
As he gears up for the release of his next project, Kayo is proving that whether fans want to rage in a mosh pit or vibe to a melody, he’s capable of doing it all.
