Machine Gun Kelly has embraced the art of nostalgia, having played a pivotal role in revitalizing the once-thought-dead genre of pop-punk. Upon seeing more success than ever before, it would appear that Machine Gun Kelly has no intention of turning back, continuing to keep the tradition rolling with some new visuals for “Love Race.”

Featuring an appearance from Sleeping With Sirens vocalist Kellin Quinn, Kelly’s latest video finds him calling back to the early millennium days where teen comedies reigned supreme. Donning nerd attire for the occasion, a look that will likely elicit laughter from fans and haters alike, MGK proves that he’s — above all else — having a grand old time. Case in point, the increasingly violent turn the plotline proceeds to take, during which a masked assailant murders an unfortunate damsel in distress by shoving an alligator into her tent. 

Featuring appearances from Quinn and Travis Barker, who has settled nicely into the role of Kelly’s closest collaborator and right-hand man, “Love Race” is a rollicking and bloody good time for fans of Gunner’s new sound. Check it out for yourself, and stay tuned for more releases from MGK as they come — after all, he’s been moving at a prolific pace these days.

Last month, Saweetie dropped off her Pretty Summer Playlist: Season 1 EP ahead of her anticipated Pretty B*tch Music release. As fans await more news about the Bay Area rapper’s debut album, they were treated to an EP that showcased several artists on the rise. Saweetie has said that she wanted to use her platform to display the talents of other artists in the game paving their own way, adding that she intends on dropping a similar playlist every summer.

After teasing the music video for “Baby Mama C**chie” over on her Instagram page, BbyAfricka finally delivered the music video featuring Saweetie. Although the track was included in Saweetie’s project, it’s advertised as BbyAfricka’s song with the “My Type” rapper assisting. In the visual, the two artists rock sexy outfits as they spit bossy bars over a production that is seeped in a Bay Area beat.

Today, we’re pleased to drop the new episode of our original series Top 5, featuring an appearance from TheHxliday. Fresh off the release of his new double-sided EP The Most Beautiful Disaster, the melodic artist took a moment to catch up with us and share some of his own personal Top Fives, touching on his favorite animes, his favorite places to eat, his favorite birds, and more.

“Top five animes,” he begins. “One Punch Man, that’s actually one of my favorite shows. The point of it is hilarious, this man can knock out anyone in one punch. But he doesn’t want to — he wants to fight everyone on some regular stuff. It’s hilarious, you gotta watch it. I’d also say Death Note, it’s actually highly original. I don’t really vibe with the movie version that much — if you watch the anime, there’s so much more to the world…The movie kinda sucks.”

“Naruto is a top one right there,” he continues, crediting his brothers for putting him on. “My next one is Attack On Titan. That show is horrifying, I’m not going to lie. Did you see the giants bro? One of the most horrific things I’ve ever seen. These demented giants walking around chomping on shit. If I ever see that shit, I’m running bro. Last one is Avatar — that show, I could watch over and over again. I recently rewatched every season twice. It’s addictive bro, I won’t lie.”

He also covers his top five places to eat, a list that speaks to a young man living life on the road. “Taco Bell,” he begins with a chuckle. “What I get is a steak quesadilla, but what you don’t know is you can mix it up and get steak and chicken…Number four, Harold’s is actually one of the top chicken places I’ve ever been to in Chicago. They got the sauce bro, it’s just different. Get a cool eight-piece, try it. Cause once you eat that one piece, all seven are gone. Trust me.”

“Three, I have to say Ihop,” he continues. “What I get, I go there and get tilapia fish. It’s a breakfast place but I get tilapia fish. For two, I would say Bossa Nova. Get that cajun salmon, as you can see I’m on a salmon diet. And definitely some lemonade. And number one? The best thing I ever had in my life? McDonald’s. McDonald’s number one. McDonald’s gotta be the highest quality food in the world. Number nine meal. Two cheeseburgers, fries, and some ranch.”

J. Cole’s hardly promoting his new album on his own but The Off-Season is definitely among the best rap releases of the year. The latest offering from the Fayetteville native has seen tremendous success. It debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, plus, four songs off of the album debuted within the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. While the rapper might be overseas carrying out his dreams of being a pro-baller, he isn’t neglecting his promotional duties.

Today, the rapper unveiled another visual off of his latest project. This time, he delivers the music video for “Applying Pressure.” The Scott Lazar-directed music video finds Cole throughout various parts of NYC including an empty subway. At one point, Dave East, who Cole shouts out on the record, makes a brief cameo. 

Peep the latest visual from Cole above. 

A little over a week ago, Kodak Black treated fans to his first official project since being pardoned by former POTUS Donald Trump. Haitian Boy Kodak is a fully solo 8-track effort from the Pompano Beach native that arrived after the release of various loosies like “Easter In Miami” and “Thugged Out” with YNW Melly.  

Late last week, the proud Zoe debuted the video for “Z Look Jamaican” off his new EP. Directed by Young Chang, the visual sees the Florida rapper having a ball in the birthplace of reggae and rasta culture, dancing to music, hanging with the locals, and more. Of course, he also spends time doing donuts in the streets in addition to other neat activities. While also displaying his unwavering Haitian pride, Z dons a tracksuit with the Jamaican flag colors as he flirts with local ladies and rhymes over the beat. 

On the track, he shows love to the name-dropped Caribbean island, spitting, “The Z a Rastafarian, the Z a Rastafarian Coupe, I’m skeeting off dust and it’s all rim to you, your daddy a Z, so what are you?”

This past weekend, Kodak took to social media to blast the music industry after catching wind of sales projections for his latest project. “#HaitianBoyKodak Is ‘Expected’ To Sale 22k First Week ? Ok Great,” wrote the rapper. “Me Dropping The Same Day As Nicki And J.cole Is not an excuse for me Kuz I’m as Big an Artist as Them !”

“I Use To Sell 100K First Week Etc. But along the way the game Turnt gay !!!” he continued. “Even tho I get to singing to b*tches I signed up fa Gangsta Rap , Not This peekaboo ass sh*t where good hearted , Real individuals are forced to hide their support for you in public … I can’t Say It’s Blackballing but it’s alotta D*cksuckin & Ass Kissin Goin On [sideways laughing emojis].”

Shortly after inking a deal with Interscope Records, breakout star Morray — who recently channeled Pharoahe Monch on J. Cole’s “My Life” — released his new mixtape Street Sermons. Loaded with impressive cuts highlighting his range and powerful vocals, including the song that started it all in “Quicksand,” the tape has officially yielded another new video for Morray’s ever-growing visual catalog. 

“Nothing Now” offers his most intimate clip to date, capturing the young artist in the midst of a troubled night drive. Lyrically, he reflects on a relationship that crumbled under the weight of deception and betrayal; though he initially convinced himself the connection was strictly physical, he eventually found himself falling in love against his better judgment — and thus, playing a role in his ongoing turmoil.

Visually, we’re largely sticking with Morray as his journey unfolds, often basked in a blue light that likely symbolizes his emotional state of mind. While not exactly the most dynamic video we’ve seen from the Pick Six artist, it may very well be his most contemplative, presenting himself in a way that many walks of life can and will relate to. It’s a testament to his versatility, and it’s likely that his loyal fans will appreciate the character development at hand.

Moneybagg Yo’s had a slow grind to the top of the food chain in the rap game. Over the past few years, he’s delivered solid bodies of work, incredible guest features, and club-smashing anthems that led to the release of A Gangsta’s Pain, his latest album. The new project is 22 songs in length with features from Pharrell, Lil Durk, Polo G, Future, and many more. 

A Gangsta’s Pain debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 before returning to the top spot just a few weeks later. The rapper came through with the official visuals for the project’s title track that finds him and his crew celebrating the milestone achievement. Moneybagg performs his verses while at a home by the ocean where he cruises on a boat and lives life to the fullest.

Although he regularly fields controversy for his no-holds-barred attitude and disrespectful antics, Sada Baby has wowed Hip-Hop fans for the right reason with the release of his new Big Sean-assisted single “Little While,” which also boasts Hit-Boy production.

Both Sada Baby and Big Sean previously collaborated on Big Sean’s epic Detroit posse cut “Friday Night Cypher” in 2020, but unfortunately, that Detroit 2 standout has still yet to receive any official visuals. For now, fans of Sean and Sada can get excited to finally see both of the Detroit artists on-screen together for Sada Baby’s new music video for “Little While.”

Even with a song as rowdy and eccentric as “Little While,” Sada Baby’s new music video definitely lives up to the song’s hype. Filmed at a massive mansion, the “Little While” visuals feature Sada, Sean, and Hit-Boy partying with a multitude of women. Throughout the lively video, the fun energy practically oozes from the screen as Sada Baby hits some of his signature dance moves and eventually gets Big Sean to bust some of his out as well.

Scroll back to the top and check out the entertaining new music video for Sada Baby’s new single “Little While” with Big Sean and Hit-Boy. 

YSL recently dropped off their massive compilation album Slime Language 2, which features guest appearances from Drake, Travis Scott, Nav, Big Sean, Kid Cudi, and more. Naturally, the project was a resounding commercial success, and the momentum is set to continue with the arrival of some new visuals for the Lil Duke and Nav duet “Pots N Pans.”

Brought to life by Never Panic Films, the clip finds Duke and Nav heading back to the trap house for a simple but effective music video. Insofar as the basic plotline, we’re essentially looking at a drug operation in the process of unfolding, and it’s clear that Duke had a few crucial criteria set while he was undergoing the hiring process. 

Given how many tracks line Slime Language 2, it’s interesting to see the label moving forward with a Duke-heavy banger for the new video. Perhaps we can expect Thugger to be pushing him into the spotlight, which would certainly be a welcome development given Duke’s ability to steal a track. It should certainly be interesting to see how the next phase of YSL’s year plays out, and we can only hope that Lil Duke will play a major role in what’s to come.

Check out the new video for “Pots N Pans” now, and sound off if you’re surprised they went with this one to land the visual treatment. 

She’s been misunderstood for the last few years as one of the most promising young women in rap so she’s making it official. After performing as “Mulatto” to start off her career, achieving serious levels of success as the first solo female rap act to go platinum from her city, Latto has officially changed her name. She unpacks her decision to part ways with the controversial name in her brand new music video for “The Biggest.”

Breaking out last year as part of a marquee effort to take over the game, Latto has returned with her hard-hitting single produced by Supah Mario and Akachi. “Tried to turn the negative to a positive, but now I see the big deal/How you choose a name like that in a world where your people getting killed,” raps Latto on the song, explaining why it was so important for her to change her stage moniker.

In the video, Latto speaks out at a press conference and rewinds to some of the biggest highlights in her career, including her first billboard in Times Square, her first gold plaque, and more.
