Jhené Aiko & Swae Lee Reunite On “In The Dark” From The “Shang-Chi & The Legend Of The Ten Rings” Soundtrack

They came together years ago when Swae Lee was featured on Jhené Aiko’s “Sativa,” and now the two artists sing their way through their new single, “In The Dark.” The track is featured on the soundtrack to Marvel’s Shang-Chi & The Legend Of The Ten Rings, an action film that is slated for release on September 3. “In The Dark” follows the soundtrack’s previous release, “Lazy Susan,” which featured 21 Savage, Warren Hue, Rich Brian, and Masiwei. 

On this latest single, you’ll find both artists singing to their lovers as they lament over deserving much more from their relationships. Despite feeling underappreciated, they vow to stay true to their partners as long as they aren’t left “in the dark.” Jhené and Swae recently appeared on the red carpet of Shang-Chi & The Legend Of The Ten Rings‘ premiere and praised the film ahead of its release.

Skrillex, Justin Bieber, & Don Toliver Unite On “Don’t Go”

This isn’t the first time we’ve heard Sonny Moore, also known as Skrillex, unite with Justin Bieber in the booth, but in this round, Cactus Jack’s Don Toliver adds his voice to the mix. Skrillex and Bieber came together years ago on their Diplo-assisted “Where Are Ü Now,” and on Friday (August 20), the EDM superstar DJ, the mega-Popstar, and the hitmaking rapper joined forces on their moody single, “Don’t Go.”

The track arrives on the heels of the news regarding the lineup of the Justin Bieber & Friends three-day event at the Wynn in LAs Vegas. The phase one lineup will include a headlining performance by Justin at the acclaimed XS Nightclub, along with performances by the hit-making French DJ and producer David Guetta, rapper and songwriter The Kid LAROI, beloved vocalist Kehlani, Bieber’s good friend Jaden Smith, dance music heavyweight TroyBoi, and musical prodigy Eddie Benjamin.

I woke up in the city, I ain’t seen your face
Almost lost my mind, medication (Woah)
Five stars for participation (Yeah)

Hope you hear this where your stationed (Stationed)
I lost my Bonnie, by that time you already banged it (Banged)
She armed and dangerous, that long hair got me tangled up (Yeah)

DAME D.O.L.L.A. Delivers “Different On Levels The Lord Allowed” Ft. Q-Tip, Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne

Further solidifying himself as one of the best to move from basketball to the Rap game, DAME D.O.L.L.A. returns with a new album. Portland Trail Blazer star Damien Lillard has been strategically carving out his space in the music industry as he wants to be taken seriously as a rapper, and with each new release, Dame proves that he is a force to be reckoned with. He has named himself the best professional basketball player to move from the court to the studio, a title that he has publicly battled Shaquille O’Neal over, and Lillard continues to defend his comments on wax.

The 31-year old sports and Rap star has released his latest album Different On Levels The Lord Allowed, or D.O.L.L.A., and last month, he spoke with Ebro Darden about what to expect from this project. “It’s a self-titled album, the next one,” said Dame. “I got Q-Tip on there, Blxst, Jane Hancock, I got my boy OG Tree from Oakland too.”

“I think this album, I went much deeper. I went from making it fun, or trying to have people like it, but I went more into…like you said, I got more information now, and my understanding of just how successful I am and what it means to have the experience that I have and coming from where I come from and why it’s valuable in the business that I’m in and why I can carry things this way.”

Swae Lee And Jhene Aiko Beg For Transparency On The Optimistic ‘In The Dark’

Next month, Marvel will release Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings in theaters across the country. It’s already made history as the first film from the franchise to feature an Asian lead.

Swae Lee and Jhene Aiko deliver their second collaboration with “In The Dark,” a midtempo single that finds both acts begging for transparency from their respective partners. The song arrives days after Jhene attended a premiere for Shang-Chi And The Legend Of The Ten Rings and teased the song’s impending release on Instagram.

The new track marks the first time that the artists have worked together since their 2017 effort “Sativa,” which appeared on Jhene’s second album, Trip. The song was later remixed with Swae Lee’s Rae Sremmurd counterpart, Slim Jxmmi.

Their collab comes a week after Swae Lee teamed up with Jack Harlow for “Ball Is Life” from the Madden 22 soundtrack. He also joined Pnb Rock and Pink Sweats for “Forever Never.” Jhene Aiko, on the other hand, cooled down a bit since she dropped her third album, Chilombo, last year.
