Gloss Up Collides With GloRilla On “BestFrenn”
Gloss Up and GloRilla are ready for whatever on their new banger, “BestFrenn.”
The two Memphis artists and frequent collaborators join forces, once again, for Gloss Up’s latest record. Produced by G Styles On The Track, Gloss Up and GloRilla serve up a bouncy yet aggressive banger in the spirit of “Knuck If You Buck.” Gloss Up swings out the gate, pledging to smack a grandma, auntie and cousin if anyone tests her bestie. GloRilla follows up on the second verse, riding the beat with a laidback flow in contrast to Gloss Up. “BestFrenn” already sounds like it’s bound to be another smash hit for both artists.
Gloss Up and GloRilla are part of the new wave of women emerging out of Memphis right now. Of course, the video for “F.N.F” highlighted the crew and propelled them further into the spotlight.
Gloss Up sat down with HNHH on the latest season of On The Come Up where she discussed the rising Memphis scene.
“We the first girls that’s out of Memphis that’s actually doing something,” she said. “For a long time, it’s been the dudes getting it on, so now it’s like, the girls getting recognition. It’s cool cause everybody supporting us right now, and I like it.”
GloRilla’s verse on “BestFrenn” comes a little less than a week after she teamed up with Moneybagg Yo for their new single, “On Wat U On.“

Quotable Lyrics
I can’t watch my bestie fight, ’cause shit gon’ be a bad look
And any bitch ain’t step out there to fight, we on your ass too
Playin’ with that one right there, know it’s up there with whoever, boo
Muggin’ when you see us shakin’, bitch, that’s all you better do
Moneybagg Yo & GloRilla Trade Bars On “On Wat U On”
CMG’s star pupils, Moneybagg Yo and GloRilla, linked up for a brand new banger titled, “On Wat U On.”
As Moneybagg prepares for his follow-up to A Gangsta’s Pain, the Memphis rapper came through with his new single “On Wat U On” ft. GloRilla. The new single finds the two channeling the spirit of a bickering couple who remain together, despite infidelity issues.
Drumgod, YC, and Skywalker OG hold down the trap-centric piano-laden production. An exhilarating backdrop for the boiling tensions between Moneybagg Yo and GloRilla’s characters in the record. Though the two deliver a conversational back-and-forth on the hook, in a way that’s reminiscent of Kendrick Lamar’s “We Cry Together,” they hold down their respective verses with criticism of the other. “Know I love you, bae, our problems go away when my dick in you,” Bagg raps on the record.
GloRilla delivers yet another shining performance on the song. As a clear candidate for Rookie Of The Year in 2022, she continues her hot streak alongside Bagg. She delivers a verse that’s complementary to Moneybagg’s while showcasing their clear chemistry on wax. “I be bustin’ out the windows, got ’em switchin’ up his cars,” she raps. “He won’t find shit in my phone but them lil’ pictures of his card.”
Moneybagg Yo and GloRilla’s “On Wat U On” marks their first collaboration together. Last year, Bagg unveiled a slew of hit records like “See Wat I’m Sayin” and “Rocky Road” ft. Kodak Black, which appeared on CMG’s compilation project, Gangsta Art. In December, he delivered “Quickie” sampling Lamont Dozier’s “Prelude.”

Quotable Lyrics
She like, “Ew, you do too much”
I replied, “You don’t do enough”
Even when we be into it, I can still pull up and fuck
Walkin’ straight up out the house, you say I never hug and kiss you
Tryna see me every weekend, damn, I need space to miss you

Gangsta Boo recently collaborated with Latto and fellow Memphis rapper GloRilla on the new hit “FTCU,” released last month on Streamcut/RCA Records.
“Latto has been showing me support for a while,” said Gangsta Boo in a recent interview. “I always see her mentioning my name when they ask her who were some of her inspirations, and when she talked about her dad, she told me that her dad used to support a lot of female rappers and I was one of them. So, that’s kind of how it came about. We just started following each other on the Internet and supporting each other and s—. And yeah, she hit me up last minute. She was like, “Man, I smoked a blunt and had a genius idea. She’s like, ‘The song already done, we already did the video and s— but I want you to be on the outro, the intro or some sort of adlibs.’ I was like, ‘Of course, Latto. I got you, man.’ It was simple just like that. Of course, I would’ve wanted to spit and kill on that mother — but just anytime I can contribute and support any female rapper that I like, that like me back, I’m always down for it.”
Gangsta Boo’s death marks the first hip-hop death of 2023.
