Armani Caesar has shared a new single from her new album, The Liz 2. ‘DIANA’ is an anthem for the proudly nasty, produced by Camouflage Monk and featuring Kodak Black. “Pussy smell good, but I fuck him like a stank hoe,” Armani repeats on the chorus, with all the confidence that comes with the title of FLOG (First Lady Of Griselda). Over the course of the three-minute track, she switches up flows artfully, and she sings for more than a minute on the song’s extended outro, sounding fully in control the whole way through.

Mulalo has returned with her third release for the year: a biting new track titled ‘Houdini’. Produced by longtime collaborator “and really good friend” Nerve, the song is driven by deep, bass-heavy synths and tribal beats. On its themes, Mulalo said in a statement that her newest cut is “all about solidifying my music, self expression, being who you are and being confident”, as well as “knowing that if you believe in yourself, you are on the right path and you’re going to be successful in any aspect”.

It’s spooky season, and Monaleo is getting in the mood with her new song and music video ‘Body Bag.’ The Houston rapper attacks a beat with a melody straight out of the Halloween movies, sounding even more vicious and unrelenting than usual as she addresses the wannabees, nats, naysayers, and opps in her orbit. She truly does sound like a one-woman army — Freddie Krueger with better skin and nails, maybe? — and the music video visualizes Monaleo’s taste for blood. She takes over a meatpacking district and floods the spot with carcasses both animal and human; yes, there’s lots of blood, so maybe don’t watch if you’re squeamish. [via the FADER]
Sampa The Great has shared a music video for the Angélique Kidjo-featuring ‘Let Me Be Great’, which appeared on her recent album As Above, So Below. Directed by Pussy Krew, the clip first situates Sampa in an otherworldly desert setting, as trippy animations of golden snakes and her own pixelated flesh flash into view. The Zambian singer later opts for a costume change after linking hands with Kidjo in front of an oscillating snake visual. Elsewhere in the video, Sampa dances aside chromatic tendrils and dons a regal golden headpiece. [via NME]
