Bktherula is back with her new solo song. ‘TAN’ rides a beat equal part cyberpunk and SpaceGhostPurrp, with BK matching the distorted menace in her boisterous lyrics that stress her authority over everyone else in the room.

GloRilla has circled back with a new track, ‘Internet Trolls.’ Opening up to Eddie Francis on Apple Music 1 about “Internet Trolls,” GloRilla said: “You know me as a person, I make songs off, of course, what I go through or the stuff I see going on, and it’s just a lot of internet trolls. People, they don’t leave their house. They don’t get off their phone. They don’t go outside and see what the real world got to offer. This the song, you know what I’m saying, to let people really know it’s a world outside of the internet. You know what I’m saying? Go explore it. So much fun. A lot of people, they can’t take the internet. You know what I’m saying? They let it get to them. And sometimes it will get to you, but at the end of the day, you got to know that these are a lot of times, it be fake pages just trying to tear you down. It’s just a lot of people trying to tear you down. Some of them may hate they self, but they want you to hate yourself and you just got to know that it ain’t real. You know what I’m saying?” [via Stereogum]

A rising rhymer with the nimble ferocity of a feral feline, Harlem’s Antha Pantha is quickly making her mark on her hometown rap scene. Sending a clear word of warning to trifling haters, Antha drops ‘B.W.A.,’ a brand new video single. A Frankie P-produced banger that combines a bouncy bassline and crisp handclaps, ‘B.W.A.’ (short for “btches with attitude”) provides the perfect trampoline for Antha to launch into her technical, take no prisoners bars: “I ain’t from the West Coast, but I’m from the West Side/But I got me a n*** on the East Side/I don’t pre-record nohtin’, man, I do my sh*t live/Play around with me and you gon’ get the B-side.” ‘BWA’ arrives with a cinematic new video, directed by Renell Medrano. Set on Harlem’s West Side, the video finds Antha and her crew taking care of business, crossing town to confront, and shut down, a group of haters. “I wrote this song because ‘women with attitudes’ is typically looked at as a bad thing, and I want the girls that hear this to embrace their feminine attitude unapologetically,” says Antha Pantha. “Attitude should represent confidence and swag, not just a stank face.” [via Hip Hop Since 1987]
