Diddy Calls On PartyNextDoor For Lustful “Sex In A Porsche”
After welcoming a new child into the world and subsequently finding himself in the middle of an online feud involving Yung Miami, Akademiks, Gina Huynh, and others, Diddy is still coming through with new heat.
Earlier this year, Diddy began plotting away on his next album — the first through his newly established Love Records. Though he’s responsible for some of the most influential figures in hip-hop, there’s no doubt that his ear for R&B is unmatched.
This week, Brother Love unloaded a brand new single from his upcoming album. The Bad Boy executive connected with PartyNextDoor for his new single, “Sex In A Porsche.” The Canadian singer-songwriter’s strain of hazy, lustful R&B takes center stage in one of his seldom releases of the year while Diddy comes through with some bars. The Revolt TV CEO comes through with another smash that will certainly stay on steady rotation well into the new year.
Prior releasing “Sex In A Porsche,” Diddy linked up with Bryson Tiller for the single, “Gotta Move On.” The record peaked at #1 on Billboard’s R&B Airplay charts while later releasing a “Queens Remix” featuring Ashanti and his “Shawty Wop,” Yung Miami. Additionally, he released a “King’s Remix” alongside Tory Lanez and Fabolous.
PartyNextDoor, on the other hand, has been rather lowkey throughout the year. He linked up with OG Parker for “No Fuss” in January yet he hasn’t offered any updates on new music. Hopefully, 2023 will see a new release from the OVO signee.
Check “Sex In A Porsche” below.
Quotable Lyrics
She think she dreamin’, I had to tell her to breathe
She love to arch it up and give it all to me
I gave her what niggas never gave her, that was honesty
Ayo, the game switched up, the shit lookin’ like try-outs
Meechy Darko, Flatbush Zombies, & Col3trane Connect For “Sliders” Single
Late night driving.
Leon Thomas Takes Us To His “Breaking Point” On Latest Release
Back in May, Ty Dolla $ign shared the exciting news that he would be officially launching his EZMNY Records label. Along with that came the introduction of his first signee – Leon Thomas.
“Leon’s talent was just a higher level from every other singer or producer that I was hearing,” the “Spicy” hitmaker told Billboard at the time. “The fact that he was doing everything himself from playing bass to working Logic and Pro Tools [was amazing]. From the first song I heard, I knew he was one of them ones.”
Since then, we’ve heard Thomas’ talent speak for itself on “Love Jones” back in August. He and Ty Dolla came together for the single, but now, he’s back with a song of his own.
On Monday (December 12), the rising recording artist took us to his “Breaking Point.” As Revolt notes, the song was previously used in a Beats by Dre advertisement starring LeBron James and his son, Bronny.
The emotional song finds the Illinois native reflecting on how he can nurture a fading relationship. “Slow dancing in this burning house, I don’t wanna go nowhere / It’s hard for me to listen when there’s miles and miles of distance,” he sings.
Other appearances from Ty Dolla $ign’s first signee can be found on Phony Ppl’s “to get home” as well as Steelo’s “Lord Knows.”
Stream Leon Thomas’ “Breaking Point” on Spotify or Apple Music below. Additionally, find more recent R&B arrivals on our weekly playlist update here.
Quotable Lyrics:
Slow dancing in this burning house, I don’t wanna go nowhere
It’s hard for me to listen when there’s miles and miles of distance
Feel your heart is drifting but you’re right there
I call you home but I might be alone, I can hear it in your tone
We’re in the danger zone

Masego Returns With Dreamy New Single, “You Never Visit Me”
Masego stayed out of the spotlight for most of 2022. In recent months, though, he’s making a return with new music for his adoring fanbase. In early November, his “Say You Want Me,” was making rounds. The song is full of rhythmic afrobeats and R&B vibes, and remains in rotation for many.
Before the year comes to a close, the 29-year-old has one last treat in store – a nearly four-minute-long single called “You Never Visit Me.” Throughout his lyrics, the musician reflects on how love can become less of a priority while one is chasing their dreams.
“Took the bait when they sold me the dream / And I drove to crazier zones and I paid for it,” he quickly sings over Wu10 and Todd Pritchard’s production. “You where there when I told you the plan, you were sold / Then we made it a goal to remain ’til we old.”
As Broadway World notes, the song came together at Wu’s Huntsville, AL studio. Additionally, co-producer Louie Lastic worked from Los Angeles and Justus West came through on the electric guitar.
Both “You Never Visit Me” and “Say You Want Me” are due to appear on Masego’s forthcoming album in 2023.
The Jamaican’s last full-length project came in 2023. Studying Abroad: Extended Stay boasts fan favourites like “Mystery Lady” with Don Toliver and “Silver Tongue Devil” with Shenseea.
Other artists who appear on the project include Sheléa and TeaMarrr. Their vocals shine on “Bliss Abroad” and “Smith & Westin” respectively.
Stream Masego’s “You Never Visit Me” on Spotify or Apple Music below. Afterward, let us know who you want him to work with on his next record in the comments.
Quotable Lyrics:
Took the bait when they sold me the dream
And I drove to crazier zones and I paid for it
You where there when I told you the plan, you were sold
Then we made it a goal to remain ’til we old

Ab-Soul Eviscerates L.A. Leakers Freestyle Over Tupac & Biggie Beats
Six years is a long time for fans to wait for a new album, but Ab-Soul delivers when the timing is right. The Top Dawg Entertainment icon is one of the most respected emcees in this generation of Hip Hop, and with each new release emerges witty rhymes that captivate listeners. Unlike his peers, Ab is a more reclusive figure in Hip Hop, often choosing to live a life of privacy than display details on social media. His fans connect with him through his art, and Herbert is a long-awaited project that once again sets the Los Angeles rapper apart from the rest.
In anticipation of Herbert‘s Friday (December 16) release, Ab-Soul visited the L.A. Leakers at Power 106 for his first-ever appearance on the freestyle series. He lit fire to two classic productions: Tupac Shakur’s “Hit Em Up” and Biggie’s “Who Shot Ya.”

Additionally, Ab-Soul expounded on his creative process in a recent interview with Vulture. The outlet mentioned “Gotta Rap,” his collaboration with DJ Premier, citing that it felt “purposeful.”
“Ah, yeah, but to be more precise, I was just trying to restore the feeling of Hip Hop in this climate,” the rapper replied. “I intentionally tried not to listen to much music during this process so I didn’t have too much external influence. I wanted it to sound like me, and what I wanted it to sound like; you could easily just get influenced by what you’re hearing, cadences and flows.”
He added: “I just wanted it to all come from me as naturally as possible. I’m glad you put it that way, but I never stopped loving rap.”

Herbert also hosts looks from SiR, Big Sean, Jhené Aiko, Ambré, Zacari, Punch, Joey Bada$$, and more. Stay tuned in with HNHH to hear Herbert as soon as it drops on December 16.
Quotable Lyrics
First off, love yo b*tch and the clique you claim
Top Dawg, we the squad runnin’ every-thang
They will never understand what we did for this sh*t
The real lyricists that unified the Bloods and the Crips
