The music industry is abuzz with the exciting endeavors of phenomenal women. Saweetie is back from her brief hiatus with a hot new song, Flo Milli drops a highly anticipated album, Latto graces the pages of Forbes, and more.

Saweetie Back From Break 

The Icy Girl herself had seemingly taken a musical hiatus, but Saweetie is now back and better than ever, with it being her season, and all. On Nov. 30, the West Coast rapper announced her new song titled, “FEELS,” featuring Japan sensation, Nissy

The song has just enough melody for the K-pop melody with a touch of Cali swag for Saweetie’s lyrical prowess. Since the release of the music video, the song has garnered over 5.5 million views on YouTube alone.

Latto Hits The Jackpot

The 777 artist recently curated an XXL Freestyle featuring herself, Monaleo, Maiya The Don, FloMilli, and Mello Buckzz

In conjunction with the cypher, the women also engaged in a discussion where they shared their feelings about each other’s music and explored the impact of contemporary female voices in hip-hop on societal perceptions of women’s contributions to the genre.

Latto doesn’t stop there. On Nov. 28, the rapper surprised fans with a cover shoot for Forbes’ “30 Under 30,” where she also sat down for an interview as she discussed growing up, the start of her career, her “I made it” moment, her biggest purchase, and more.

Flo Milli Drops A New Project

​​On Nov. 29, the “Weak” rapper announced the release of her latest album, Never Lose Me.

The cover art is even more intriguing as her smile glistens across the cover with custom tooth jewels. Flo Milli is also the face of Amazon Music’s Fresh New Hip-Hop.

Saweetie’s Nails Make Her The Perfect “Edward Scissorhands” This Halloween: Video

On a normal day, Saweetie’s outfits consist of intricate details that prove why she’s one of the most fashionable rap divas in the industry. For Halloween, it’s no surprise that the California native is going above and beyond as well, giving Johnny Depp a run for his money by bringing one of his most famous film characterfs back to life – and no, we’re not talking about Captain Jack Sparrow. For the 2023 spooky szn, Saweetie is clapping back at anyone who’s ever spoken negatively about her nails with an iconic Edward Scissorhands look that has the internet singing her praises.

Sunday (October 29) is when Saweetie decided to unveil her costime to the world. “Are these long enough for [you] 🙂?” the Icy Girl asked in the caption, obviously referring to the intricate claws adorning her fingertips. In the accompanying video, she poses for the camera in her eccentric black and silver ensemble before recreating a scene from the film in which Depp’s character uses his abornal hands to clean up an unsightly tree.

Later that same day, another post lit up Saweetie’s IG, this one taking aim at anyone who’s ever asked how she handles her business in the bathroom with such long nails. “Come wipe it 💋,” the Grammy-nominated lyricist urged her haters. Her tribute to Scissorhands is certainly iconic, but we’re curious to see if she’ll be putting together any couples looks with her man, YG, before the holiday wraps for another year.

Usher Serenaded Doja Cat During His Latest Las Vegas Residency Show As An Early Birthday Gift To The Rapper

When Usher urged men not to leave their ladies around him, he wasn’t joking. His Usher: My Way Las Vegas residency has shown that he remains one of R&B’s most notorious ladies’ men. During his shows, he selects a special lady from the crowd as he sings his 2010 song “There Goes My Baby.” In the past, Keke Palmer, Saweetie, Winnie Harlow, Kimora Lee Simmons, Kim Kardashian, and Issa Rae were chosen to share that intimate movement.

On Friday, October 20, Doja Cat became the latest celebrity to be serenaded by Usher. As an early birthday gift to her, Usher spotted her out of the crowd and made a beeline straight towards her. In video shared by a concertgoer, it appears that even though Doja was seated next to her rumored boyfriend, J. Cyrus, she didn’t hold back.

At first, Doja played coy to Usher’s advances, but as the crowd cheered her on, she went full-in. She eventually stood up to dance along with Usher as she sang the lyrics to the song.

Usher’s residency is slated to end soon, surely there will be more celebrity serenades.

Watch the video below.

Are New Hip-Hop Artists Relying Too Heavily On Sampling? Fans Are Concerned

Saweetie, Coi Leray, GloRilla

Hip-hop, a constantly evolving genre, has seen a surge of new artists emerging on the scene. These up-and-coming rappers often draw inspiration from the iconic artists of the 70s, 80s, 90s, and early 2000s. Sampling has always been a part of hip-hop, with artists like Jay-Z, Kanye West, and the late producer, J-Dilla, pushing boundaries […]

Saweetie & Quavo: Californian Put On Blast For Mean-Mugging Club Patron Who Bumped Into Her Then-BF

Saweetie’s music may come across as being written by a baddie who doesn’t often get caught up in her feelings, but as a proud Cancer, she knows she’s one of the most sensitive signs of the zodiac. We saw this especially during her relationship with Quavo, which ran for three years until its tumultuous end in early 2021. At the time, the Icy Girl insinuated that her other half had been unfaithful toward her. Falling victim to cheating is painful enough for a regular person. To have it happen in the public eye, with the person you planned to spend the rest of your life with made things increasingly painful for Saweetie.

When she and Quavo were together, the fashionista’s love for her man was obvious. She didn’t necessarily come across as the jealous type, but their constant PDA proved that both lovers enjoyed having their hands on each other only. Earlier this week, a curious Twitter user put out a public inquiry about “f**ked up and evil” interactions with celebrities, and one user had a story to tell about Saweetie and her ex. “I accidentally bumped Quavo in the club,” the woman alleged in her reply.

Saweetie Didn’t Play About Quavo During Their Relationship

“Saweetie looked like she wanted to swing on me 😭,” she continued. “We go outside, this b**ch got in the RR truck, cracked the window, locked me up and down and mean-mugged me like Snoop did Jody on ‘Baby Boy.’” Now that the story is making rounds on blogs, other users are debating how valid it is. “This whole interaction was too specific 😂,” one person pointed out. “[You] lucky that’s all she did 😂😂😂. She did not play bout him,” another chimed in.

Things may not have worked out between her and Quavo, but that didn’t stop Saweetie from moving on with another rapper. She took some time to heal from and reflect on the drama that led up to her breakup, but now, the West Coast baddie is boo’d up with YG, who she’ll be headed out on tour with in the near future. Read more about one of the couple’s recent date nights at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Who Is Opening YG, Tyga, And Saweetie’s ‘Str8 To The Club Tour?’

This week, YG, Tyga, and Saweetie launch their Str8 To The Club Tour in Sacramento, before heading north to San Francisco then taking over arenas in Las Vegas, Tucson, Tacoma, Vancouver, and more. The trio will be joined by three openers: Kamaiyah, Wallie The Sensei, and DJ Vision. The tour will likely offer fans a preview of Tyga and YG’s upcoming joint album, as well as Saweetie’s long-delayed debut, along with a look at some of California’s hottest up-and-coming artists. So…

Who Is Opening YG, Tyga, And Saweetie’s Str8 To The Club Tour?

DJ Vision

DJ Vision is a Los Angeles-based DJ who has mainly supported OhGeesy as his tour DJ, accompanying him on his 2022 Geezyworld Tour, as well as touring with YG on The Red Cup Tour with OhGeesy, and YG’s 4Hunnid artists Day Sulan, and D3SZN. The earliest tour on his social media is YG’s F*ck Donald Trump Tour in 2016, which featured Kamaiyah, RJ (aka RJMrLA), and Sad Boy.

Kamaiyah

Kamaiyah is an interesting addition to the lineup because of the history between her and YG. After garnering a strong reception for her 2016 mixtape A Good Night In The Ghetto, she signed with 4Hunnid Records as one of YG’s first artists with distribution through Interscope. However, after her debut album was delayed multiple times, she left both labels in a rather contentious split. It appears the two are back on better terms now that Yaya is back independent. She has continued to release new music, dropping her most recent full-length album, Oakland Nights, in 2020, and an EP, Diving Timing, last year. She has released a steady stream of new singles in 2023, including “Shot Callin’,” “All Night,” and “Heat Warning.”

Wallie The Sensei

Wallie The Sensei is a newer artist from — where else? — Compton, who dropped his debut album, Golden Child, in 2021, following up in 2022 with Here 2 Stay. He approaches rap with the contemporary melodic flow popular with fellow Hub City natives like Roddy Ricch and Kalan.FrFr, crooning about the heartbreak of growing up knee-deep in hood politics. According to an early bio on local rap blog Rosecrans Ave. (what up, Vic!), his goal is to provide a positive outlook and guidance for those stuck in similar situations — hence the “sensei” in his stage name. On Instagram, he’s tagged himself a “Hope Dealer,” and his music certainly seems to offer a sliver of silver lining amid the emotional catharsis.
