R&B Sensation SiR Drops Emotionally Charged Album "Heavy" and New Single "You"

Grammy-nominated artist SiR unveils his fourth studio album, Heavy, alongside a captivating new single and video for “You,” released via TDE. Heavy is a profound exploration of SiR’s journey, delving into themes of recovery, mental health, and physical transformation.

The album features soul-stirring tracks like “Six Whole Days” and “Ricky’s Song,” where SiR bares his soul with anthemic melodies and raw lyricism—collaborations with Ty Dolla $ign, Isaiah Rashad, Ab-Soul, Anderson .Paak, and Scribz Riley enrich the album’s emotional depth.

“My life was in shambles, and the music was coming out phenomenal,” SiR says. “I was surprised. But then, once I got to the other side [of my problems], it started to get even better. That’s where the album’s coming from. It’s coming from a place where you’re going to see both sides.”

With Heavy, SiR showcases his fearless honesty and musical prowess, cementing his status as a leading figure in contemporary R&B.

Lola Brooke And Bryson Tiller’s ‘You’ Video Is A Lavish Look At The Luxurious Side Of Love

by

“Just Relax” rapper Lola Brooke has made it abundantly clear that her ideal man is a “roughneck,” but that doesn’t mean they can’t have a soft side. In her new single, “You,” featuring Bryson Tiller, Lola demonstrates how that duality can be achieved alongside its supporting video.

“I’m a badass Brooklyn brown skin b*tch / And I love a hood n**** with some toxic d*ck / Nothing but some socks, he from Bronx in it / Have me walking all crooked in my Crocs and sh*t / B*tch, I go Taraji for my baby boo / Ride it like a Kawasaki, that’s his favorite tour / I’ma swipe his EBT like a Amex / Give it to him raw, no drawers, no latex / Yeah, I got him butt naked for me waitin’ at home (Waitin’ at home),” rapped Lola.

The track, produced by Khris Riddick-Tynes and LilJuMadeDaBeat, pays tribute to fellow Brooklyn native Foxy Brown. The sample of the instrumentation of Eugene Wilde’s 1984 song “Gotta Get You Home Tonight” was at the core of Brown’s 1996 “Get Me Home” featuring Blackstreet. Brooke’s love for the leading rap ladies of her hometown doesn’t stop there.

In the official Samuel McKnight-directed video, two filming sets referenced Lil Kim’s past videos, including her 2000’s “No Matter What They Say” directed by Marcus Raboy, and 1996’s “Not Tonight” directed by Lance ‘Un’ Rivera.

‘You’ Super Fan Cardi B Celebrated The Show’s New Season With The Return Of Her Hilarious Profile Pic

Everybody’s talking about the new season of Netflix original series, You. One of the show’s biggest fans is rapper Cardi B.

Today, the “Up” hitmaker changed her Twitter avatar back to a picture of Penn Badgley’s character, Joe Goldberg, on the heels of the show’s fourth season.

The show’s official Twitter account caught wind of the photo change and replied to her saying, “Back in her Goldberg era.”

This isn’t the first time Cardi has expressed her fandom over You either. In 2021, for the show’s third season, she switched her profile pic to Joe peeping out the window — and Badgley followed suit by switching his to the Bronx rapper. She also received a PR package with blue baseball cap, matching that of character Joe, with text reading “HELLO, YOU…”

A month earlier, Badgley appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where he lauded Cardi’s social media savvy. Cardi later shared a clip from the episode, expressing her elation, saying, “OOOOMMFFFGGGGGG HE KNOWS ME!!!”

Netflix then changed their Twitter bio to read “Petition to get Cardi B to guest star in Season 4 of You!,” which prompted the rapper to pitch an idea for the episode.

“So it’s episode 1 and I’m at Paris Fashion week shutting it down! I turn around and there stands YOU,” she said.

Perhaps a cameo may manifest in the near future.

Season 4, Part 1 of You is now streaming on Netflix. Part 2 is set to premiere on Wednesday, March 9.

Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Miley Cyrus Might’ve Gone Rock, But She’s Back In The Studio With Mike Will Made And Rae Sremmurd

You’ve got to hand it to Miley Cyrus — nobody does a come back quite like her. When she pivoted to rock in 2020 with Plastic Hearts, it was about as epic a return as any artist has made, and these days, fans are clamoring for more. After her impressive NYE performance and hosting gig with Pete Davidson — where she soldiered through a major wardrobe malfunction — Miley has been working on new music. Likely the first item on her list is recording a studio version of “You,” a song she performed live on New Year’s Eve that her listeners have been clamoring for a recorded version of ever since.

And even though she might be in her rock phase now, that doesn’t mean Miley has abandoned her interest in hip-hop. It seemed she did, a few years ago, when she decided to throw the entire genre under the bus, but now she’s definitely back in the mix. She posted a series of photos on Instagram today with her Bangerz collaborator, Mike Will Made It, and his proteges, Rae Sremmurd. Also pictured? Tobias Jesso Jr. and Bibi Bourelly. This new record is definitely going to be interesting! Keep your ears out for new music coming soon.

‘You’ Star Penn Badgley Discusses His Delightful Cardi B Friendship And A Potential Cardi Cameo

Following the recent premiere of You‘s third season, the hit Netflix series is back at the forefront of the pop culture conversation. Now, we find ourselves here, where Cardi B and star Penn Badgley (aka Joe) have forged a delightful online relationship, which the actor discussed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night.

To summarize the situation (which Junkee did well): In a recent interview, Badgley spoke about his admiration for Cardi’s relationship with social media. Cardi was delighted, tweeting, “OOOOMMFFFGGGGGG HE KNOWS ME !!!” From there, the two set their Twitter profile pictures as photos of each other, and Cardi even started pitching an episode of the show featuring herself. Netflix then changed its Twitter bio to read (as it does still), “Petition to get Cardi B to guest star in Season 4 of You!”

Badgley and Kimmel ran through that history, with Kimmel suggesting that Cardi’s name might stand for “Cardi Badgley.” Kimmel wondered if all this means Cardi will find her way onto the show, and Badgley responded, “Well I… I don’t know. I definitely can’t say.” He then noted he heard there’s a Change.org petition to get her on the show, and indeed there is.

Kimmel pressed for more info about the Cardi cameo, going back to Badgley’s answer, saying, “You said, ‘I don’t know,’ ‘I can’t say.’ It can’t be both of those things, can it?” Badgley responded, “I can’t say because I don’t know. I actually don’t know. I’m not being coy.”

Check out the full interview above.
