FLOHIO is back with a new single. ‘Make It Bang’ – produced by Karma Kid – is her first release since the arrival of debut album Out of Heart in 2022. She comments: “Always admired Karma Kid’s sonic versatility. I recorded my first songs just up the road from Brixton over a decade ago – those were good times! It felt full circle being in that room, creating with wonder kids. “I took a year off music after touring ‘Out of Heart,’ thinking about the next phase. Wanted something stimulating, fun, and light after a heavy 2023. Inspired by Jersey Club and Electronic music, and added a London flair while keeping my industrial sound. Love how the sounds in ‘Make It Bang’ cut through! “Excited about piecing together concepts for my next album. I’m pushing myself harder than ever before.” [via Dork]

Cardi B has released a new single, ‘Enough (Miami),’ which follows ‘Like What (Freestyle)’ from a couple weeks ago. She started teasing it a few days ago with its revealing single artwork (which briefly got pulled from Instagram due to nudity) and some lyrics: “Me versus you and you know who they pickin’/ I can survive in the coldest conditions/ Bitches is washed, soapin’ the dishes/ I apply pressure like boa constrictors/ One bitch, two bitch, old bitch, new bitch, none of y’all not gonna do shit/ I’m in Miami I pull on cruise ships.” [via Stereogum]

North Carolina rapper Rapsody has announced a new album, Please Don’t Cry, due May 17 via We Each Other/Jamla/Roc Nation. The 22-song album features Erykah Badu, Lil Wayne, Baby Tate, Alex Isley, Phylicia Rashad, Keznamdi, and more, and it includes recent single ‘Asteroids’ (ft. Hit-Boy), as well as the just-released ‘Stand Tall.’ “‘Stand Tall’ is the first song I recorded when I started working on this album in 2020,” Rapsody says. “I would say it represents my desire to speak to my humanness in the most free way. It started me on the journey, and it required me to be fearless, which is why I titled it ‘Stand Tall’ – be firm in who you are, legs straight, shoulder back, chest out.” The two-minute song comes with a five-minute video/short film featuring Rapsody in conversation with friend and actress Sanaa Lathan. “Sanaa was one of my guides and supporters on that journey,” Rapsody continues. “She offered so much insight, support, and tools to usher me through; as well as inspiring me with her own vulnerability. I’m grateful to have a friend in her and why I wanted to have this conversation with her first. She’s one of the biggest reasons I was even able to finish the album.” [via Brooklyn Vegan]

The single, which was produced by frequent Barkaa collaborator jayteehazard, and sees the rapper deliver a victorious anthem atop thudding bass and piercing strings.
