Summer Walker Rants About Narcissistic Men’s Mothers On “Caresha Please”: Watch

by

While Summer Walker has never shied away from airing out the men who have done her wrong both on social media and in her music, she’s also made sure to hold the women who raised them accountable. On the final track of her sophomore album, Still Over It – mostly dedicated to her toxic relationship with London on da Track – the Atlanta native begins by singing, “I wanna start with your mama, she should’ve whooped your ass.” “4th Baby Mama” has since gone on to become an anthem for women scorned, and it wasn’t the last time Walker spoke out about her feelings on the topic.

More recently, she joined City Girls rapper Yung Miami on the Caresha Please podcast. The duo discussed “all the smoke” as the rapper loves to put it, dishing on everything from Walker’s recently revealed relationship with Lil Meech to her plans for having more children in the future. While things with the BMF actor sound to be going great, the “No Love” songstress did have some things to get off her chest about the mothers of men she’s previously dealt with.

Summer Walker Talks Toxic Mothers on Caresha Please

“I have no regrets,” Summer confirmed of her decision to release the relentless song. “There’s nothing worse to me than, like, men who have enabling mothers. Like, narcissists that have enabling mothers. Like, you could call a n*gga mama and be like, ‘He just did this, he just did that.’ And they’ll be like,” the mother of three explained as Miami cut him off to add, “‘What you do that make him do that?’”

The two women agreed that it’s painful to deal with women like that. “And that’s why he acts like that now, because you never disciplined him or told him when he was wrong,” Walker ranted before revealing that her two youngest children are boys, and she’s determined to not raise them in such a manner. “I wish a girl would call me and tell me my son did some crazy shit to her. I would be like, ‘N*gga is you crazy?! I ain’t raise you like that. Don’t be out here embarrassing me.’”

Summer Walker Teases A One-Night-Only Show In Atlanta With Her Performance Coach, Teyana Taylor

Now that Summer Walker has released her new EP Clear 2: Soft Life, she’s begun to tease her shows promoting it alongside her new performance “coach,” Teyana Taylor. Walker shared a teaser video of the duo working on the choreography backstage to hype up her upcoming “one night only” show in Atlanta. Tickets for Summer Walker: The Clear Series—One Night Only go on general sale on Friday, May 26 at 10 am. Before that, the pre-sale runs from now until Friday at 9. A Live Nation presale will run from Thursday, May 25 at 10.

Fans were psyched to see the behind-the-scenes work, predicting that the collaboration would result in a huge step up for Walker after she Taylor previously worked with Latto on her Coachella set. “Teyana helping the girls raise the performance bar one by one,” one fan tweeted. Another noted, “Teyana Taylor doubling as a creative director + choreographer. Saving the industry one artist at a time.” One even suggested that watching Taylor work with artists would make for a great reality show.

The prevailing sentiment appears to be pride and approval for Taylor’s transition to her post-music roles after calling it quits on her singing career in 2021. After feeling underappreciated as an artist herself, it seems she’s really found her stride helping other artists’ careers — while also occasionally starring in films like White Men Can’t Jump and a planned Dionne Warwick biopic.

Summer Walker Gets Love For New EP From Sukihana, Latto, And More

by

Summer Walker last released new music in 2021 with her second album, Still Over It. The album provided an intimate portrayal of her relationship with producer London On Da Track. Clearly, it also resonated with audiences because it achieved great success. It earned Walker her first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. Since then, the talented R&B artist has collaborated with notable names such as Ari Lennox, Ciara, and The Weeknd, showcasing her incredible skills. Additionally, Walker has expanded her family with the birth of twin babies.

During the Dreamville Festival a few weeks ago, Walker officially announced her latest EP, Clear 2: Soft Life. Since then, she began building anticipation among her fans. Shortly before the release, she decided to give her fans a glimpse of the EP by sharing a video on social media. The video features Walker enjoying the company of her friends, Sexyy Red and Sukihana. The three relaxed by the pool and amusingly sampled caviar. With a touch of humor, Walker jokingly questioned, “So this is what the Caucasian people be eatin’?” Towards the end of the video, she finally unveiled the highly-awaited details—the tracklist of the project. Finally, the long wait has come to an end, and fans can now enjoy the EP in its entirety.

Summer Walker Is The Talk Of The Town

Summer Walker has made a triumphant return with her latest EP, showcasing her unending prowess in the R&B genre. The EP is a sublime blend of soulful melodies and seductive vibes. It captures a captivating atmosphere that transports listeners into a dreamlike state. While Walker’s individual talent shines brilliantly, she has also enlisted the collaboration of esteemed artists like J. Cole and Childish Gambino, adding an extra layer of greatness to her new musical endeavor. Since the EP’s release, many of her contemporaries have taken to social media to praise her latest effort.

As seen in the tweet above, the EP is getting lots of love. Sukihana, who was featured in some of the teaser material for Summer Walker’s EP, tweeted her love for the project. “So proud of my sister summer that listening to her tape has me in tears,” Suki wrote. “All my fans stream Summer walkers new project all day and night.” In addition, both Rubi Rose and Latto posted about the EP.

Summer Walker & Childish Gambino Introduce Us To A “New Type” On Our “R&B Season” Playlist

by

Today’s R&B Season playlist update is a perfect mix of male and female talent, chiefly kicking off with a joint effort from Summer Walker’s new CLEAR 2: SOFT LIFE EP. The 9-track project has earned the Atlanta native comparisons to neo-soul queen Erykah Badu and found her working with J. Cole and Childish Gambino as guest collaborators. Elsewhere, Steve Lacy and Solange Knowles came through to aid the mother of three with production on her closing title. Her work with the Dreamville founder on “New Type” sits at the top of our weekly round-up, while “To Summer, From Cole” featuring Donald Glover closes things out later on.

We also heard from Anderson .Paak and Knxwledge together under their NxWorries moniker. Following their successful “Where I Go” track with H.E.R., the duo reunited to share “Daydreaming” ahead of this past New Music Friday (May 19). Speaking of the “Slide” songstress, she also took us alongside her on “The Journey” thanks to her latest single, which spans nearly four-and-a-half minutes.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist

The Weeknd’s rising artist, Chxrry22, also caught our attention with her latest. She first made her debut in 2022 with singles such as “The Falls,” “Call Me,” and “Sacrifice,” as well as her 7-track The Other Side project. Nearly halfway through 2023, the songstress is coming through with her first effort of the year, called “Worlds Away.” Any fans of Abel Tesfaye’s work over the years will certainly be able to appreciate why he’s backing Chxrry.

Finally, we have yet another collaboration for your listening consideration.

Summer Walker’s ‘Clear 2’ Track With J. Cole Proved To Be The Project’s Sweetest Moment And Fans Love It

by

One of my favorite tropes in hip-hop is when an artist gets another artist to do the intro on their project. For example: Missy Elliott’s 1997 debut Supa Dupa Fly, which opens with “Busta’s Intro” featuring Busta Rhymes. It’s a bold move; the first voice fans hear is someone other than the principal artist. But it also gives fans a chance to get to know that artist through another artist’s eyes.

Summer Walker’s new EP, Clear 2: Soft Life, does this, opening with “To Summer, From Cole (Audio Hug)” featuring J. Cole. Over a mellow, piano-driven soul beat, Cole ruminates on the duo’s burgeoning friendship, congratulating Walker on her newborns and commiserating with her about the travails of the music industry. “I find it amazing the way that you juggle your kids, the biz, the fame, the bitches that’s hatin’,” he rhymes. “They sit around waiting for you to fall off like the album I’m making.”

Fans have been delighted by the new track since it dropped, calling it sweet, and remarked on the uplifting, supportive messaging from Cole toward Summer and fellow R&B stars SZA and Ari Lennox.

Other fans have praised the Neo-Soul-influenced direction of the album, likening Summer’s performance to that of Erykah Badu.

Meanwhile, other fans are excited by the reference to J. Cole’s upcoming album The Fall Off, which he’s been teasing for some time. They’re sure its release is imminent after he cleared his Instagram earlier this year, but for now, at least they have his warm, comforting bars from Clear 2 to hold them over until he’s ready to announce a date.

Summer Walker’s “CLEAR 2: SOFT LIFE” EP Earns Erykah Badu Comparisons

Summer Walker and Erykah Badu have a bond that runs deep. Not only are they both beautifully talented R&B stars in their own right, but their chosen career paths have also allowed them to connect in a far deeper way. The birth of the Atlanta native’s twins a few months ago was actually overseen by “The Healer” herself, who shared plenty of thoughtful words about her experience acting as Walker’s doula alongside her own daughter, Puma Curry. While they have yet to actually collaborate together musically, it seems Badu’s energy is rubbing off on her young friend, as her influence is all over the latter’s new CLEAR 2: SOFT LIFE EP.

The project is a long-awaited sequel to 2019’s CLEAR, on which she shared four featureless tracks with fans. The mother of three spiced things up this time around, recruiting J. Cole to kick things off with “To Summer, From Cole – Audio Hug,” as well as Childish Gambino, who offered up his help on “New Type.” The other seven titles are handled by Walker alone, though she did have Solange Knowles and Steve Lacy’s help with production on the final title, “Agayu’s Revelation.”

Summer Walker’s CLEAR 2: SOFT LIFE is Here

In the hours since CLEAR 2: SOFT LIFE hit DSPs, fans have been consistently drawing comparisons to Badu on social media. Many of them are positive, writing messages like, “Summer Walker really Erykah Badu Goddaughter. Love this sound sm,” and “[This] is what I didn’t know I needed.” Others, however, are unimpressed by the Still Over It songstresses’ copycat vibes. “Summer Walker on Erykah Badu beats with these dumb ass lyrics is pissing me off,” one Twitter user ranted on Friday (May 19) morning.

“I got mixed feelings about this Summer EP. I do appreciate the Erykah Badu inspo and shit… But we need Summer Walker, not Summer Badu,” another person expressed, noting that they hope the project eventually grows on them with time.

J. Cole Confirms He’s Working On “The Fall Off” On Summer Walker’s EP

by

There really hasn’t been a shortage of music from J Cole over the past few years. The Dreamville co-founder unveiled a series of solid projects since K.O.D including efforts alongside his labelmates and a string of stand-out features. However, following the release of The Off-Season, he announced two other projects: It’s A Boy and The Fall Off. So far, he hasn’t shared a release date or a timeline of when to expect it but it looks like it’ll be arriving soon.

Summer Walker’s new project, Clear 2: Soft Life EP, arrived in its entirety this morning, which includes a surprise feature from J Cole. The North Carolina rapper opens up the project on “To Summer, From Cole (Audio Hug).” In the song, Cole provides fans with a promising update on the status of his next project. The rapper confirmed that he’s currently in the studio cheffing the project up, rapping, “I find it amazing the way that you juggle your kids, the biz, the fame/ The bitches that’s hatin’, they sit around waitin’ for you to fall off, like the album I’m makin’.”

J Cole’s “The Fall Off” Is On The Way

Prior to Summer Walker’s EP, the “GOMD” rapper addressed the project, which he’s hinted as his last, on Dreamville’s Creed III soundtrack. Cole delivered a verse for “Adonis Interlude (The Montage)” where he discussed the anticipated project. “Just cop ‘The Fall Off’ and he’ll explain/ Is it the end of the chapter? Happily ever after?/ Bet this gon’ be the year that fulfill his reign, man,” the rapper said. Hopefully, with the recent updates, and collaborations alongside Lil Durk and Summer Walker, who both performed at Dreamville Festival, The Fall Off will arrive soon.

Cole has been scattering hints of the project’s release across the majority of his features. Earlier this year, J. Cole joined forces with J-Hope of BTS fame for their collaboration, “On The Streets.” Once again, he teased the possibility of retirement. “Some days, I wonder if I need to pick a different hobby/ I’m deep in with this rappin’, it’s all a n***a know/ I never didn’t nothin’ better, it’s hard to let it go/ But like a father watching his daughter walk down the altar with tears in his eyes/ You gotta let her grow,” he said.
