Sexy Red Announces Release Date For New EP

by

If you thought that Sexyy Red slowed down after a massive 2024… well, don’t hang up the “Make America Sexyy Again” caps just yet, because you made a huge mistake. Moreover, she just announced a few days ago that her new EP, In Sexyy We Trust, is releasing this Memorial Day Weekend on Friday (May 24) via Open Shift and Gamma. It comes amid a lot of big features, performances, viral moments, and other moves from the St. Louis star, including the recent Chief Keef collaboration “Grape Trees.” We shouldn’t be too surprised that she continues to strike while the iron is hot, but the work ethic never fails to impress.

Furthermore, fans are wondering just what form this new EP will take: something like Hood Hottest Princess‘ first iteration, a mere handful of tracks, or something in between? Either way, Sexyy Red should have at least one or two bangers on here that will hit it big, or perhaps this will compile some recent singles and collabs like “Get It Sexyy.” Maybe we will get a little more information about In Sexyy We Trust as the week leads up to the Memorial Day Weekend release. But there’s nothing like a great first listen with as little spoilers as possible, so here’s hoping that this new EP has some welcome surprises.

Sexyy Red’s In Sexyy We Trust Dropping 5/24

On the other hand, we’re sure that Sexyy Red knows her strengths far too well, and will likely aim to make this EP the best experience possible for hardcore fans. But even the most ardent of “SkeeYee” fans can’t predict every move, such as an old high school fight video that went viral recently. She even responded to this years-old clip of her brawl with a simple “Been on Det!!!” So now you know not to mess with the 26-year-old.

Meanwhile, with an upcoming music video with 42 Dugg on the cards as well, Sexyy Red will probably have another killer year in 2024. She’s already making great progress in that regard, so here’s hoping that In Sexyy We Trust is another treat. Whether it’s a change of pace or more of what we love, it’s a simple but effective way to follow up last year’s LP. Hopefully more artists would do the same, but we digress…

Snoop Dogg says that he considered joining the military before his music career exploded. The legendary West Coast rapper reflected on the period in his life during a post on Instagram in honor of Memorial Day.

“1989, man,” he began in a video. “We were finna graduate from high school, right? So we went down to the registration office downtown at Long Beach. Me, Duke and a couple other homies. So we’re in there filling out the paperwork and I’m looking at all the questions that they asking me and tryna decide, ‘Do I really wanna go through with this Air Force thing?’”

He continued: “I told Duke, I said, ‘Duke, give me a minute. I’ll be right back, I’ma go the car.’ Went to the car and never came back. And then four years later, my homeboy was a true vet, Air Force soldier. I love you for that, man. Appreciate the love, man. All the troops out there, y’all know I love y’all. It’s Snoop Dogg, man. One love. I wish I coulda been, shoulda been, but it ain’t no thing but a chicken wing ’cause I’m a soldier at heart.”

Snoop wouldn’t have been the first in his family to join the military. He’s previously spoken about how his father, Vernell Varnado, served in the Vietnam War. He received a Purple Heart after being shot four times. Appearing on The Howard Stern Show in 2018, he recalled: “He told me when he got to Vietnam, the life expectancy for a Black male was 16.4 seconds. They would send those Black guys to the front line to deal with the Vietnamese, and what about what’s behind them?”

In addition to his father, Snoop’s cousin, Nate Dogg, also dropped out of high school to join the Marines. He spent three years as an ammunition specialist before being discharged.
