DaBaby Flaunts His Fast Cars And Their High Speeds On ‘Red Light, Green Light’

by

Since releasing his debut album, Baby On Baby in March 2019, DaBaby has wasted little time between projects. The rapper doubled back a little over seven months later with his sophomore effort, Kirk. In April 2020, just under seven months after his second album, DaBaby once again reappeared with a new full-length effort, his No. 1 album, Blame It On Baby. At this point, it’s been well over a year since the North Carolina rapper has dropped an album so it’s only right that we expect its arrival in the near future. Thanks to the rapper’s second single in as many weeks, it appears that its release could be just around the corner.

DaBaby is back with his latest single, “Red Light, Green Light.” It’s a track that captures the rapper showing off his luxury vehicles as well as bragging about their quick speeds. “I like my Lamborghinis ’cause they drive fast,” he raps at one point on the song adding, “But the Maybach is probably my favorite whip.”

The rapper’s new song comes just a week after he shared “Ball If I Want To,” a braggadocios track that arrived as a defiant declaration towards excellence. Prior to that, he joined Yo Gotti for “Drop” and Polo G for “Party Lyfe.”

You can listen to “Red Light, Green Light” in the video above.

Kyle’s Pleading Single Asks To Let Him Go If You ‘Love Me Like You Say You Love Me’

by

If there’s anything you know about Kyle, it’s that he’s never been afraid to share his feelings to the fullest extent on wax. His breakout single is the cheery “iSpy” track that welcomed him as a free-spirited rapper. More recently, Kyle caught a case of puppy love in a color video for “But Cha” with Josh Golden. However, elsewhere in his catalog, Kyle delivers sadder moments that focus on loss, heartbreak, and more. An example of this comes on his latest release, “Love Me Like You Say You Love Me.”

On it, Kyle struggles to walk away from a former lover as their relationship no longer exists. Despite attempts to hold on just a bit longer from both sides, the rapper deems it necessary to bring an end to their chapter in love.

The track arrives less than a year after Kyle dropped his second album, See You When I Am Famous!!!!!!!!!!!!. It’s an effort that came two years after his official debut, Light Of Mine, and one that saw him capturing the joy of dreaming throughout its twelve tracks that saw help from Rico Nasty, Tyga, Rich The Kid, K Camp, Trippie Redd, Bryson Tiller, and more.

Doja Cat And The Weeknd’s Majestic Video For ‘You Right’ Welcomes The World To ‘Planet Her’

by

The wait is finally over. After teasing her third album, Planet Her for the better part of the last year, Doja Cat has finally graced her fans with its release. The project arrives after she spent most of 2020 promoting songs from her second album, Hot Pink. This includes the chart-topping “Say So” and the TikTok favorite “Streets.” All of that is in the past now as Doja begins the third chapter of her career for Planet Her with a brand new video for “You Right” with The Weeknd.

The new track is also accompanied by a majestic video that follows Doja as she walks through an elegant palace as she details her desires for a man despite being in a relationship with another one. Planet Her was led by two singles, “Kiss Me More” with SZA and “Need To Know.” The former was an effort that submitted itself onto the list of song of the summer contenders. The duo also performed it at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards. The latter was a track Doja delivered to hold fans over until the album’s release. All in all, Planet Her arrives with additional features from Young Thug, Ariana Grande, and JID.

As for what’s next, Doja will soon make an appearance in the second season of Lil Dicky’s TV show, Dave, and take the stage alongside Justin Bieber, Lil Baby, and more for the Made In America festival.

You can watch the video for “You Right” above.

Tyler The Creator Earns The ‘Juggernaut’ Title With Lil Uzi Vert And Pharrell

by

Tyler The Creator turned to a new chapter in his career with the 2019 release of Igor, the rapper’s fifth album. It saw him truly putting his artistry on display in the way that he wanted to. Luckily for him, it all paid off as the album would go on to win Rap Album Of The Year at the 2020 Grammys despite Tyler’s ill sentiments with the honor. That’s all in the past now as he’s returned with his latest album, Call Me If You Get Lost.

Across the project’s 16 songs, an eye-catching track on Call Me If You Get Lost comes on “Juggernaut” with Lil Uzi Vert and Pharrell. The track is a bass-knocking number that’s equally chaotic and erratic as it is energetic and bouncy. This is thanks in large part raucous placement of the song’s drums that provide a unique landscape for the three rappers to lay their bars on.

Altogether on Call Me If You Get Lost, Tyler invites 42 Dugg, Ty Dolla Sign, NBA Youngboy, Lil Wayne, Teezo Touchdown, Domo Genesis, Brent Faiyaz, Daisy World, and Fana Hues. The project was also led by two singles: “Lumberjack” and “Wusyaname.”

You can press play on “Juggernaut” in the video above.

Call Me If You Get Lost is out now via A Boy Is a Gun/Columbia. Get it here.

Lil Uzi Vert is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

DaBaby Flexes His Status On “Red Light Green Light”

by

It’s a busy season for DaBaby and his camp. Last week, DaBaby surprised fans with his “Ball If I Want To” single, a release that came complete with a high school-themed music video. The rapper isn’t finished delivering new music as he returned on Friday (June 25) with another drop, this time in the form of a track titled “Red Light Green Light.”

Like “Ball If I Want To,” DaBaby stands alone on the track and for an artist known for his hit collaborations, fans are suspecting that we’ll be receiving a full-length project sooner than later. DaBaby has made headlines in recent days due to his dealings with both Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion, but the North Carolina rapper has stayed on his grind and attempts to dodge as much of the drama as he can.

Stream “Red Light Green Light” and let us know what you think of DaBaby’s latest offering.

Quotable Lyrics

Rate me, one out of ten, they gon’ say ten (Say ten)
Threw that bad b*tch on camera, let bae in (Okay)
Who that is back to back, ho, that’s Baby
Can’t do no shows, he fills stadiums

Coi Leray Links With Kodak Black & Mustard For “At The Top”

by

What other way is there to celebrate graduating high school than by releasing a new single? On Thursday (June 24), 24-year-old Coi Leray revealed that she has completed one of her goals by getting her high school diploma. The singer said on “No More Parties” that she’s only concerned with things that will help her “elevate,” and she’s stuck to her word.

On Friday (June 25), Coi returned with “At The Top,” a single that features an assist from Kodak Black and Mustard. The Florida rapper has been doing a bit of celebrating of his own in recent weeks as his birthday was not too long ago, and he united with Leray and DJ Mustard in hopes of crafting the next big hit. Stream “At The Top” and let us know if you think it’s a banger.

Quotable Lyrics

Yeah, screamin’, “Free my n*ggas”, yeah, f*ck the law
Yeah, now we at the mall, yeah, buy it all
Dior on my feet, but I don’t walk at all
Yeah, Mustard on the beat, this sh*t takin’ off
Yeah, my brother keep it with ’em, he don’t play at all

Logic Returns With Young Sinatra Favorites On “YS Collection Vol. 1”
