New Hip Hop News

There’s always room for one more, so Saweetie and Doja Cat have made a space for Stefflon Don to share her talents. Not long after we all celebrated the turn of the new year, Saweetie shared her “Best Friend” single featuring Doja. The pair joined forces for a playful music video where they did all the things that besties do, and after the track became a fan favorite, British rapper Stefflon Don chimed in with a few bars added to the remix.

“Best Friend” was a controversial track prior to its release after it hit streaming services prematurely. Saweetie took to social media to call out her label for the mishap, and the team quickly got themselves together and removed the single. It later arrived on January 7 and acts as the third single from Saweetie’s anticipated debut studio album, Pretty B*tch Music, which is slated for release sometime this year. Check out “Best Friend (Remix)” and share your thoughts.

Quotable Lyrics

You know I’m always killin’ the show
In the streets I’m a lady, in the bed I’m a hoe
Ain’t a stripper but I really put it down on the pole
Plus I get dizzy in the kitchen, flick my wrist on the stove

He’s been digging in deep with his last few efforts and Justin Bieber isn’t finished opening up with his fans. We’ve watched as the pop star has grown up in the limelight and faced a pitfall or two, but now that he’s found his faith, Bieber has been on a mission to spread positivity both personally and in his music. “Lonely” gave the world an intimate glimpse into what the former child star has endured, and his single “Holy” with Chance The Rapper became its own Bieber movement. 

On Friday (March 5), the singer return with “Hold On,” a song that was made to give hope to its listeners. On March 19, Bieber is slated to release his album Justice, and last month, he explained his inspiration behind this project. “Music is a great way of reminding each other that we aren’t alone,” said Bieber. “Music can be a way to relate to one another and connect with one another.”

“I know that I cannot simply solve injustice by making music, but I do know that if we all do our part by using our gifts to serve this planet, and each other, that we are that much closer to being united.” Watch the music video for “Hold On” and share your thoughts on Bieber’s latest.

You’re looking for answers in a place unknown
You need the connection but you can’t get close (Can’t get close)

Quotable Lyrics

Boss don’t depreciate (Never)
My sh*t just decapitate (Uh)

Trump gave ’em twelve hunnid, Obama gave ’em cellphones (Ayy)

Quotable Lyrics

Have you fallen head over heels for somebody
That made promises to give you the world? Um
I really hope they held you down
I really hope it was no lying
‘Cause my heart breaks, it feels like the world’s gone
