Big Boi has shared a new video for “Do Ya Best,” which features Sleepy Brown and Scotty ATL and is taken from his latest album, Big Sleepover.
Big Boi spits his laid-back verse while lying on a beach surrounded by fancy cars and the blazing sun, while Sleepy lays down his smooth hook court-side at a high-end fashion show showcasing multiple stunning models.
The Big Sleepover’s “Do Ya Best” was a crowd favorite, and its visual just adds to the track’s swagger and polish. You can see the video below.

Memphis superstar Moneybagg Yodrops “Rocky Road,” a heartfelt, Kodak Black-assisted new single that affirms the pair’s status as the faces of modern, complex street rap. “Rocky Road” also arrives with an evocative video.
Cruising over emotive keys, Kodak kicks things off with a declaration of loyalty: “Tryna get to my hoe but the Perkys got me froze / Been doing my baby momma wrong and leaving her at home / I cannot leave you on your own, we made this child together.” For his part,Moneybagg injects memories of the hustle and damaged romance: “Out there standing by the pole, selling dope to buy some clothes / Cause I knew that attract the hoes, until one left my heart so cold / I just didn’t know no better made me hard on the next forever.” Soul-baring yet of the streets, “Rocky Road” is Moneybagg and Kodak at their best.
The video also dwells in that zone. Equal parts gritty, evocative, thoughtful, and real, the Young Chang-directed clip spins a familiar narrative as a man who’s already balancing life’s complexities finds himself at a crossroads: how to respond to another man’s reckless violence. The two rappers bear witness, occupying a perspective both within the scene and adjacent enough to have eyes on the bigger picture. It’s a space Bagg’s held down for a long time now.
Travis Scott served up a highly stylized performance of “Mafia” and “Lost Forever” on an icy backdrop with fur clad dancers on the 2022 Billboard Music Awards Sunday night.
It was Scott’s first major television performance since his Astroworld Festival in Houston last year. Where a crowd surge overcame the audience that led to 10 fatalities.
Diddy, host and executive producer of this year’s Billboard Music Awards, recently shared that he felt strongly about having Travis Scott perform at the show.
“I made a request. I made a demand. I said ‘My brother Travis Scott has to perform. Diddy is hosting the show. I’m executive producing. He has to perform,’ and NBC said ‘yes.’ It’s going down. Sunday, Travis Scott will be performing. Let’s go! That’s love.”
He also shared a clip giving the “Goosebumps” rapper encouragement just hours before the event.
Bad Bunny’s new album topped Billboard’s weekly poll for favorite new music. Fans voted the Puerto Rican rapper’s Un Verano Sin Ti into the top slot with more than 48-percent of the vote.
It beat out Taylor Swift’s “This Love (Taylor’s Version),” and Jack Harlow’s “Come Home the Kids Miss You.”

Co-directed by Kendrick Lamar-himself and business partner Dave Free, the video shows the Compton native floating in place at the beach, on the run from thugs, evading a car crash, strolling through a water garden and walking through an abandoned building and doing donuts in a tricked-out vehicle with protege and cousin Baby Keem. “N95” marks Lamar second music video release in a week following the previously released “The Heart Part 5” which features deep fakes of the late-Kobe Bryant and Nipsey Hussle.

Dude, and just to watch him grow. And he’s such a beautiful, beautiful man. And so talented, man. I’m so pumped.”
Pumped he is. On the track Post uses is vocals to express the fact that he’s been away for so long that he feels “Cooped Up,” and as he said “it’s time to resurface.”
“I’m about to pull up, hit switch, pull curtain (hit switch, pull curtain). And I’ve been waitin’ so long, now I gotta resurface (I gotta resurface). And yeah, we ’bout to toast up, all that bread that we burnin’ (Burnin’, burnin’, burnin’). ‘Cause I’ve been feelin’ cooped up (Yeah) I’ve been fuckin’ cooped up (Mm-mm-mm).”
In the lyrical video, the chemistry between the two artists is on full display. “Cooped Up” sounds like a fun relief song and that’s what’s happening in the video. It’s apparent that these two have fun making music together and you can see it in their respective performance scenes, with the lyrics captioned below. Roddy Ricch slide on verse two with his melodic rap, complimenting Post Malone perfectly.
“Cooped Up” is the second single from Post Malone’s Twelve Carat Toothache’s album, which is set to drop on set to be released on June 3. Check out the lyrical video below.
With the recent arrest two of Atlanta’s biggest artist, fans have been requesting new music from Rich Homie Quan. In no time, the “Type Of Way” rapper responded. Recently, Rich Homie linked up with Bow Wheezy for a studio session.
In the short black and white video posted on social media, Bow Wow introduces Quan, and as Quan rubs his hands together he states, “What’s going on, what’s going on… I know they didn’t expect this but this is what’s going on.” The video ends just as the beat drops.
In 2013 when Rich Homie broke on to the scene as one of the fresh new faces emerging from the South. He captivated fans with his Still Goin In: Reloaded project, which included, his hit single “Type Of Way,” which peaked at No.50 on the Billboards top 100.
He then went on to drop a collaborative Rich Gang project, which included Birdman and Young Thug. The Rich Gang project went on to become an historic tape and it’s still considered one of the best collabs ever with one of the hottest songs of this era, “Lifetime.”
Since then, the two ATLiens fell out and Rich Homie flew under the radar. Well now fans are calling for him with an urgency and it’s seem like he’s going to delver.
