Who Is Opening Lil Baby’s ‘It’s Only Us Tour?’

September 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

With Lil Baby’s It’s Only Us Tour entering its final month, some fans are still wondering who the four opening acts are. As the original subheadliner, The Kid Laroi, dropped out before the tour began, and Lil Baby himself doesn’t take the stage until about 9:30 pm, it’s understandable that concertgoers might want to know more about the artists taking the stage before him. Here are the opening artists on Lil Baby’s It’s Only Us Tour.

Hunxho is another Atlanta trap artist who operates in the same vein as rap crooners like Future and Rich Homie Quan. He’s a prolific creator, releasing three projects in 2023 alone, and has begun gaining more prominence thanks to his featured appearance on Quavo’s new album, Rocket Power.

Gloss Up is a Memphis rapper who happens to be GloRilla’s best friend and Lil Baby’s labelmate on Quality Control. She’s shown up on tracks with the likes of Lakeyah and Sexyy Red, and has a growing following based on her relatable ratchet raps.

Rylo Rodriguez is an artist on Lil Baby’s 4 Pockets Full imprint, who gained a certain amount of online infamy with the goofy cover for his mixtape, GOAT In Human Form. The hilarity was amplified with the revelation that he didn’t even realize GOAT is an acronym for “Greatest Of All Time” until this year.

Finally, there’s GloRilla, whose hit song “FNF” made her one of hip-hop’s hottest it-girls last year. She signed with CMG and is currently working on her debut album, looking to build on her successful breakout with some more Dirty South favorite Memphis trap swings like “Lick Or Sum” with Moneybagg Yo.

What Time Does Lil Baby Go On Stage For The ‘It’s Only Us Tour?’

September 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Despite experiencing some early hiccups with canceled shows and opening acts dipping out, Lil Baby’s It’s Only Us Tour continues this month, with the final third leg beginning tonight in Memphis.

Fans planning on checking out the remaining eight shows may be wondering what time Lil Baby goes on stage thanks to The Kid Laroi dropping out of the schedule. In fact, that question was asked recently on Reddit, with the consensus among the commenters putting his entrance around 9:30 pm. That leaves each of the four openers around two and a half hours between them, with one Redditor noting that GloRilla, the final opener, hits the stage around 8:30 pm.

Over the course of Baby’s set, he’s been performing songs from across his discography, with only three songs coming from the tour’s namesake album. The only It’s Only Us songs he performs are: “California Breeze,” “Heyy,” and “In A Minute.” Meanwhile, he performs six tracks from his fan-favorite 2020 album My Turn, and 14 from singles or features. You can see the remaining show dates below.

Ciara And Lil Baby’s ‘Forever’ Video Will Restore Your Faith In Love And Finding Happily Ever After

August 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Summer Walker and hundreds of social media users asked for a love prayer as intense as Ciara’s. All in the hopes of finding a healing love after heartbreak. But, as the singer points out in her new single, “Forever” with Lil Baby, prayer is just one of the many steps.

The track — co-produced by Jaydot, Precision Productions, and Theron Thomas — is a glimpse into the musician’s nearly decade-long marriage to NFL quarterback Russell Wilson. No matter how hard her famous ex’s fan base trolls their union, they somehow rise above it all while expanding their family (the pair or now on their third child together).

That perseverance is seemingly the inspiration behind the song’s opening verse, as Ciara sings, “Everyone’s hatin’, goin’ half on a baby / They think that I’m crazy / ‘Cause one night only can be enough / Some say I’m hatin’ because I be sayin’, ‘Love is amazin’/ I know I’m not the only one / Hold on, I want a real world together / If I’m trippin’, let me know / One plus another is better, babe / You spendin’ all your time alone.”

Lil Baby’s romantic history has been rocky, but that didn’t stop him from leaning into the record’s theme, rapping, “You ain’t gotta rush, it’s fine, baby / I’m the one you take your time with / Keep it for me, you gotta try sh*t / Made a bond, we gotta die with it / Head first, I done dived in / You the one, well, really you a ten / I know my mind like here she go again / We ain’t gotta standout, we could blend in / And I’ll make sure to give you my attention.”

Directors Taj and Dre expand upon the idea of happily ever after as the musician attend a glamorous wedding where they encourage their friends to leap into love.

DJ Khaled wants y’all to know: THE DRAKE VOCALS ARE IN. With a new album loading, Khaled revealed Drake has two features on Til Next Time.

“Ayo Drake fan hub, you know I got two Drakes in the can,” Khaled said. “Mixed. Mastered. You know I got two Drakes, two Champagne Papi’s on my album. You know that right? The album’s Til Next Time.”

With the kind of blockbuster announcement only he can deliver, DJ Khaled is set to return with his anxiously awaited 14th full-length LP, TIL NEXT TIME, marking the most anticipated hip-hop event of 2023. This release is the first offering from his newly minted partnership, We The Best Music Group/Def Jam Recordings.

The album’s massive first single, “SUPPOSED TO BE LOVED,” has already taken the music scene by storm, featuring a powerhouse collaboration with superstar artists Lil Baby, Future, and Lil Uzi Vert. The track is now streaming across all platforms.

Khaled’s announcement sent shockwaves through the internet, accompanied by a powerhouse trailer starring not only the artist himself but also his sons, Asahd and Aalam Tuck Khaled, as well as his Queen Nicole Tuck Khaled. The trailer showcases Khaled’s dynamic lifestyle, transitioning seamlessly from the golf course to the beach, yacht, horseback riding, basketball court, soccer field, studio, and even through the galaxy.

“SUPPOSED TO BE LOVED” promises to be an explosive anthem, bringing together some of the industry’s heaviest hitters and icons. Fans can also look forward to a cinematic music video accompanying the track’s release.

Til Next Time, coming soon.

DJ Khaled, Lil Baby, Future, And Lil Uzi Vert Remind Their Ladies How They’re ‘Supposed To Be Loved’ On Their New Single

August 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

DJ Khaled can’t stop working. Yesterday (August 10), the prolific DJ and producer announced his 14th album, Til Next Time, which will arrive as part of a new partnership between Khaled’s We The Best Music and Def Jam Recordings. Tonight, Khaled has shared the first single from the album, “Supposed To Be Loved.”

On “Supposed To Be Loved,” Khaled is joined by melodic rappers Lil Baby, Future, and Lil Uzi Vert, who lean into their vocal stylings as they seek to spoil their ladies.

“I’m tryna love you like you ‘posed to be loved / She know I’m a thug, she don’t treat me like no rapper / See you comin’ up, I can make that shit faster,” sing Future and Lil Baby on the song’s catchy earworm of a chorus.

Over the years, Khaled has proven that he’s pretty much guaranteed to drop a contender for the song of summer. Though “Supposed To Be Loved” arrives rather late in the summer, Khaled holds up his track record.

You can listen to “Supposed To Be Loved” above.

Til Next Time is due later this year via We The Best Music and Def Jam Recordings.

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

DJ Khaled Will Reconnect With Future, Lil Baby, And Lil Uzi Vert On Their Upcoming Single, ‘Supposed To Be Loved’

August 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

DJ Khaled has announced his next album, Til Next Time, as well as the release date for its first single, “Supposed To Be Loved.” “Supposed To Be Loved” is due on Friday, August 11 (that’s tomorrow), and will feature Future, Lil Baby, and Lil Uzi Vert — three artists with whom Khaled has worked extensively in the past. The announcement was made with an over-the-top trailer featuring Khaled and his sons playing golf, with Khaled chipping in an impressive (and unlikely) shot and cartoonishly whacking a drive all the way to Rome.

DJ Khaled and Future have a plethora of songs together going back a decade beginning with “Bitches & Bottles (Let’s Get It Started)” from his 2012 album Kiss The Ring. That song also featured Lil Wayne and T.I. Since then, they’ve collaborated over a dozen more times, including on last year’s God Did single, “Big Time,” which also featured Lil Baby. Future also teamed up with SZA on “Beautiful.”

Lil Baby popped up a few more times in Khaled’s discography, starting with 2019’s Father Of Asahd. He featured on two songs on that album, “You Stay” featuring J Balvin, Jeremih, and Meek Mill, and “Weather the Storm” With Meek Mill. On God Did, he had another two features, “Big Time” and “Staying Alive” with Drake.

However, “Supposed To Be Loved” will actually mark DJ Khaled’s first time working with Lil Uzi Vert, who was the first rap artist of 2023 to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
