Saweetie & Doja Cat Add Stefflon Don To Their “Best Friend (Remix)”

There’s always room for one more, so Saweetie and Doja Cat have made a space for Stefflon Don to share her talents. Not long after we all celebrated the turn of the new year, Saweetie shared her “Best Friend” single featuring Doja. The pair joined forces for a playful music video where they did all the things that besties do, and after the track became a fan favorite, British rapper Stefflon Don chimed in with a few bars added to the remix.

“Best Friend” was a controversial track prior to its release after it hit streaming services prematurely. Saweetie took to social media to call out her label for the mishap, and the team quickly got themselves together and removed the single. It later arrived on January 7 and acts as the third single from Saweetie’s anticipated debut studio album, Pretty B*tch Music, which is slated for release sometime this year. Check out “Best Friend (Remix)” and share your thoughts.

You know I’m always killin’ the show
In the streets I’m a lady, in the bed I’m a hoe
Ain’t a stripper but I really put it down on the pole
Plus I get dizzy in the kitchen, flick my wrist on the stove

We’ve watched as the pop star has grown up in the limelight and faced a pitfall or two, but now that he’s found his faith, Bieber has been on a mission to spread positivity both personally and in his music. “Lonely” gave the world an intimate glimpse into what the former child star has endured, and his single “Holy” with Chance The Rapper became its own Bieber movement.

On March 19, Bieber is slated to release his album Justice, and last month, he explained his inspiration behind this project. “Music is a great way of reminding each other that we aren’t alone,” said Bieber. “Music can be a way to relate to one another and connect with one another.”

“I know that I cannot simply solve injustice by making music, but I do know that if we all do our part by using our gifts to serve this planet, and each other, that we are that much closer to being united.” Watch the music video for “Hold On” and share your thoughts on Bieber’s latest.

Rexx Life Raj Shares His Nonchalant View Of The World In His ‘Built For Everything’ Video

Rexx Life Raj has been giving fans plenty of music over the past few months and in keeping the streak alive, the Berkeley act returns with yet another offering for fans. His latest drop comes in the form of his new song and video for “Built For Everything.” Raj gives viewers his nonchalant take of the world’s most confusing aspects and just labels them as things he’ll have to accept until they one day change. Lines like, “My n**** did a bid for some weed and he still in here / The whiteboy sold the same thing, now he a millionaire,” capture the parts of society that disappoint Raj the most. Elsewhere, he throws some shade at Blueface and speaks about an untrustworthy girl in his life.

The new track joins a growing collection of songs and videos he’s shared over the past few months. His most recent release was “Bounty,” which featured production from Illmind and was later paired with a music video that portrayed Raj as a full-on desperado. He also linked with D Smoke and G-Eazy for his respective “Optimistic” and “Bounce Back” singles and later showed off his new ride in his “Telsa In A Pandemic” video. In the midst of all of this, he also dropped his Californa Poppy 2 EP, with features from Juvenile and Kojey Radical.

Jhene Aiko Brings A Magical World To Life In Her ‘Lead The Way’ Video

It only took three albums, an EP, a mixtape, and a slew of singles of guest features, but Jhene Aiko finally got to live out her fantasy of being a Disney princess. It became a reality thanks to her new music video for “Lead The Way.” The single will appear on the soundtrack for the upcoming Disney film, Raya And The Last Dragon and in the new visual, Jhene heads to the magical kingdom of Kumandra to deliver the soothing video for the song that focuses on bringing a community together to fight the toughest battles and come out on top.

The singer spoke about the song and her Disney princess dream during a recent interview on Apple Music. “The number one thing was, I heard ‘dragon,’ and I love dragons,” she explained. “I have a big dragon tattoo on my back. I was born in ’88, which is the year of the dragon. And I just think it’s a beautiful, mystical creature that is just so many things, symbolizes so many things for me, personally. I’ve always had this little fantasy of being a Disney princess, voicing one, or like being the character. And so this was the closest that I’ve gotten, so I was pretty excited.”

The video arrives just a little over a week from the Grammy awards where Jhene received three nominations including Album of the Year and Best Progressive R&B Album for Chilombo.

Yung Gravy Remix’s His TikTok Hit “Oops!!!” With A Feature From Lil Wayne

You never know when you’re going to hear Lil Wayne hop on a remix and fans weren’t expecting his addition to Yung Gravy’s “oops!!!” If the song sounds familiar, it’s because it’s one of the handfuls of tracks that has become all the rage over on TikTok as “oops!!!” has been sampled for a challenge. Weezy decided to add his spin to the viral single.

For the most part, the remix to “Oops!!” remains the same as the original aside from Wayne’s bars. Gravy didn’t initially reveal that the New Orleans legend was making an appearance on his track and instead, the rapper told fans to guess who the featured artist was and if they got it right, he would send them $7. It’s unknown how many people were one value meal richer, but as you ponder that thought, stream Yung Gravy and Lil Wayne’s “Oops!!! (Remix)” and let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics

(Lil Wayne)
I f*ck and send her home, I don’t let her wipe off
F*ck and send her home, walk in front and might fall
I forgot the rubber, oops livin’ life raw
I’m about to nut, oops in her eyeball

Drake Shares Visual To “What’s Next” From “Scary Hours 2”

It’s the only song on his three-pack that doesn’t host a feature so Drake decided to make “What’s Next” his latest single. Drizzy expanded on his 2018 EP Scary Hours with a new release on Friday (March 5), and while it’s only been on streaming services for the last hour and a half, Drake is already a trending topic across multiple platforms. Scary Hours 2 may not be Certified Lover Boy, but it’s a snack that fans are thoroughly enjoying.

Not only has Drake delivered the project, but he’s shared the visual to “What’s Next,” a track produced by Maneesh and Supah Mario. In the clip, the Toronto icon once again pays homage to his hometown as he uses his palacious mansion as the backdrop to his music video. It’s unclear if this was the video that the rapper was recently spotted filming, but we’re sure to receive much more from Drake both sonically and visually in the near future. Stream “What’s Next” and let us know your thoughts.

And that’s just how my cookie crumble

Bruno Mars & Anderson .Paak’s Silk Sonic Blends Funk, R&B, & Nostalgia On “Leave The Door Open”

In the “collaborations you didn’t know you needed, yet, here we are” news, Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak have partnered with Parliament-Funkadelic legend Bootsie Collins to deliver a modern, funk-heavy project under their new band name, Silk Sonic. The pair of artists recently shared the news in a surprise social media announcement, and while fans were under the impression they would be receiving a full project on Friday (March 5), Silk Sonic delivered a single: “Leave the Door Open.”

Mars and .Paak are known for their innovative, and often eccentric music efforts as they borrow from various genres including the smooth stylings of 1960s and 1970s productions. Silk Sonic’s debut is dripping with nostalgia, but not in a way that may seem trite. They’ve managed to reinvent the way a new generation of music lovers may metabolize Soul, Funk, and banging basslines. Stream Silk Sonic and let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics

My house clean (House clean), my pool warm (Pool warm)

In the east wing and the west wing
Of this mansion, what’s happenin’?
