<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gearing up for her biggest and most personal season yet, multi-platinum recording artist <strong>Coi Leray </strong>presents a dynamic new EP entitled <em>Blue Moon</em> out now via Uptown Records/Republic Records. Once again, the project finds Coi firing on all cylinders, using her songwriting as a diary to reveal her unique perspective on life. She laces highly quotable bars with irresistible hooks, showcasing her lyrical acumen and impressive vocal delivery at the same time. She opens up the world of <em>Blue Moon </em>with the single and music video &#8216;Isabel Marant.&#8217; Ethereal production underscores her breathy verses as she reminds, “They can’t fuck with Coi Leray.” It culminates on a hypnotic hook that’s impossible to shake. The accompanying visual intercuts vignettes of Coi underwater, shimmering in blue glitter, and ruling this fever dream like a bossed-up high fashion mermaid.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Iggy Azalea</strong> is clocking back into work. The rapper has been enjoying her newly found success on OnlyFans, but as promised, her new music has arrived. Iggy’s thirst for financial expansion, seen in the recent sale of her publishing catalog, is at the root of her new single, &#8216;Money Come.&#8217; The record — produced by Tricky Stewart, JerkPoP, and Nana Afriyie — is the first offering from her forthcoming album. In the song, Iggy is locked into her wealth goal, tuning her haters out as she raps, “Say you gonna run up on who? I need proof / These b<em>tches p</em>ssies, their mouths are too loose / Still know some neighborhood boys who can shoot / I can put it on your head and they can put you on the news / P<em>ssy so wet, he need an anchor / Where that b</em>tch talkin’ sh<em>t? I wanna thank her / ‘Cause even though I don’t f</em>ck with you hoes / All the hatin’ kept my eyes on the money like a banker / Come baby, come baby, money make me come.” For the official video, directed by Christian Breslaver, is an orgasmic overthrowing of the patriarchy and not in a Barbie movie sort of way. Conceptually, &#8216;Money Come&#8217; is a crossbred of Meghan Trainor’s &#8216;Nice To Meet Ya&#8217; and Megan Thee Stallion’s &#8216;Thot Sh*t&#8217; videos as Iggy, along with her fellow women in combat armed to the teeth, storm the office to take back control of the boardroom as a result the bag.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Kash Doll </strong>has released her newest music video for the single &#8216;Ridin.&#8217; The visual sees the Detroit rapper channeling the 1996 cult classic film Set It Off, which starred Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett, Kimberly Elise, and Vivica A. Fox. Taking on all four characters of Cleo, Frankie, Stony, and T.T., Kash goes on a heist in search of her man — and the money, of course. She raps about threatening to leave her relationship if he doesn’t get his act together, as she refuses to be riding around all night looking for him. Dressed in a “Kashdoll’s Janitorial” jumpsuit, she spits, “It’s past midnight where the fk you been?/ Don’t play with me, nia, better drop that pin/ I already talked to yo’ lyin’ a** friends/ Keep playin’ you gon’ end up single just like them.” [via VIBE]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">NYC based multi-hyphenate <strong>Talia Goddess</strong> has shared new single ‘One Time’. The 21-year-old force is a true multi-disciplinarian, crossing the worlds of music, visual art, and fashion. Self-taught, Talia plays out as a DJ and handles her own production, blending her songwriting finesse with real skills as a performer. The world is hers, and it starts with fantastic new single ‘ONE TIME’. Out now, it’s the work of someone crossing multiple lanes – pop in the best sense, she draws on R&amp;B aspects and hip-hop dynamics, while also pointing to a broader knowledge of club flavours. Laden with colour and autobiographical revelation, ‘ONE TIME’ shines a determined light on this Brooklyn creator. Ben Wescott directs the video, which displays Talia Goddess in her element – tune in now. [via Clash]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Doja Cat</strong> is getting ready to release her new album <em>Scarlet</em>, and the saga of its changing cover art has been pretty funny. Doja already released the early singles &#8216;Attention&#8217; and &#8216;Paint The Town Red,&#8217; and both of them are really good. When she announced her album release a few days ago, Doja teased a horror-movie video for another single called &#8216;Demons.&#8217; Now, that song is out. For all of the <em>Scarlet</em> videos, Doja Cat has been playing around with satanic imagery, which is fun. Doja co-directed the &#8216;Demons&#8217; clip with Christian Breslauer, and she plays a devil-goblin thing who torments Christina Ricci. The video really piles on the horror-movie references. It feels a little early to go full spooky-season like this, but I’m on board. [via Stereogum]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Brazy</strong> recently released &#8216;Attends,&#8217; a song written to hype up crowds when she opened for Santi on tour. The song has been a slow-burn hit, first blowing up on TikTok but sticking around far longer than the usual overnight success. It&#8217;s not hard to see why &#8216;Attends&#8217; has got legs. The track taps into Brazy&#8217;s self-described &#8220;Afro-Future / Afro-Sexy,&#8221; sound as she raps in English, Yoruba, French, and Chinese over a non-stop beat and synths that lend the track a dramatic edge. The lyrics are playful and flirty (&#8220;You be custard and I&#8217;ll be cake&#8221;) but Brazy makes it clear she takes no prisoners, stating &#8220;Cheat on me I will cheat on you&#8221; to the object of her desires. Now, Brazy shares the &#8216;Attends&#8217; video. Naturally, the video is set in the club and sees Brazy and her girls dancing to the track while drawing attention from every angle.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In November, <strong>Tkay Maidza</strong> is releasing a new album, <em>Sweet Justice</em>, her first full-length in seven years, though in that time she released three EP as part of her Last Year Was Weird series. We’ve heard two singles already, &#8216;Silent Assassin&#8217; and &#8216;Ring-A-Ling,&#8217; and now she’s back with the brief but hard-hitting &#8216;WUACV.&#8217; “I wanted to write a song where I could express my bubbling anger toward people who had manipulated me during the last phase of my life,” Maidza said. Watch the track’s Hannibal Lecter-inspired music video below. [via Stereogum]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">St. Louis rapper <strong>Sexyy Red</strong> capitalizes on the moment, dropping the video for her <em>Hood Hottest Princess </em>song &#8216;Hellcats SRTs.&#8217; While her breakout song was the raunchy &#8216;Pound Town,&#8217; she has much more to offer than just raps about her anatomy and proves it here, name-checking high-performance Dodge Challenger beloved of the roughnecks around her way. The song’s an ode to the D-boys and hustlers who love fast cars and the girls who love those boys. The lo-fi video for the track sees Red and friends turning up in the streets and throwing money with cameos from fellow rap it-girls like GloRilla. [via UPROXX]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Back with more heat, Baltimore’s MVP <strong>Rican Da Menace</strong> unveils a new single and music video entitled &#8216;Off Top&#8217; with<strong> Lola Brooke</strong> via BuVision/Columbia Records. This marks her first collaboration with the rapidly rising Brooklyn spitter, and it also unites two of the game’s fiercest females on one fiery collaborative banger. Produced by HitMaka, Nick Papz, and Xander, the beat samples the DMX classic &#8216;Ruff Ryders’ Anthem&#8217;. In between the instantly recognizable Swizz Beatz keyboard riff, Rican rips right through the beat with precise bars only for Lola to counter with an equally punchy cameo. The hook hits hard as it repeats, “I get mines off top.” Meanwhile, the accompanying visual plays out like a classic Yo MTV Raps!-era video. Emanating confidence, gusto, and swagger, this dynamic duo takes over Brooklyn—from the streets to the rooftops. [via Hip Hop Since 1987]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tributes to hip-hop’s 50th anniversary are far from over. <strong>Flo Milli </strong>is joining in on the flower giving on her new freestyle, &#8216;Flo Milli.&#8217; Simply put, the tribute is a lovefest on rap megastar Lil Wayne. From the signature deadlocks to the video’s original concept, Flo Milli aimed to honor the New Orleans native through his 2008 song, &#8216;A Milli.&#8217; As Flo Milli borrowed the classic rap beat, she also takes some additional creative liberties by flipping several of the Young Money boss’ lyrics, including her stanza, “She’s a beast / She’s a dog / She’s a muthef*ckin’ problem / Claiming she want what but be running like a possum / You can’t stand ’em then you drop ’em / Hoes get messy imma mop ’em / hallucinogenic have ’em rolling when I rock ’em.” The entertainer took to Instagram to share the record’s cover art in which she continued her praise of Lil Wayne, writing, “Lil Wayne is still the GREATEST RAPPER ALIVE,” in the caption. This sentiment is echoed amongst several other recording artists, including his protégés Nicki Minaj and Drake, to NLE Choppa. [via UPROXX]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Tkay Maidza</strong> has announced a new album,<em> Sweet Justice,</em> coming in November. The follow-up to her 2016 self-titled debut (plus a couple of Last Year Was Weird EPs) features the Flume-produced &#8216;Silent Assassin,&#8217; which dropped earlier in July, plus additional production from Stint and Kaytranada. Now, Tkay is sharing the new single &#8216;Ring-A-Ling,&#8217; which also has a video directed by Jocelyn Anquetil. Here’s what Tkay had to say about <em>Sweet Justice</em>, which also has collabs with Lolo Zouaï, Amber Mark, and Duckwrth: “<em>Sweet Justice</em> was a way for me to channel my emotions from what I’ve experienced in the last two years. It’s a diary of things and thoughts I’ve kept to myself. Making the record was a healing experience and I’m grateful to have worked with producers who have inspired me throughout my career.” She adds of &#8216;Ring-A-Ling,&#8217; which is produced by Two Fresh: “I wanted to make an empowering song that tells others that my biggest focus are my goals.” [via Stereogum]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>TeeZandos</strong> has followed the release of her new tune, &#8216;Veteran&#8217;, by dropping a set of visuals for the track. Zandos has a reputation for displaying undeniable charisma and ferociously defiant bars and that’s just what we get on &#8216;Veteran&#8217; – a hard-hitting drill drop that demonstrates her growth as an artist. For the video, Zandos turns to Scorpio Films who provide us with a set of visuals that switch between Zandos being interrogated and catching a vibe with her crew at night. [via GRM Daily]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Lakeyah</strong> drops her first solo release of 2023, &#8216;Want Em Hood.&#8217; The fresh track is a fearless rework of Gorilla Zoe’s 2007 hit record &#8216;Hood N<strong><em>&#8216; </em></strong>and combines pearl-clutching rhymes with brazen confidence. &#8216;Want Em Hood&#8217; hinges on a head-nodding and nostalgic sample as Lakeyah locks into a fierce flow. Rich with sparse trap production and her signature brand of braggadocious rap, the self-described “Female Goat” instantly envelopes the listener with a sharp cadence. Behind the track, Lakeyah explains: “‘Hood N’ is one of my favorite tracks that was leading the early 2000s. That was my favorite era of music and I wanted to exude that fun, feel-good but braggadocious vibe. ‘Want Em Hood’ is perfect for the summer and it’s empowering for my guys and girls. We love &#8217;em from the hood!” The visual directed by Diesel Filmz (Latto, Lil Baby, Lil Durk), perfectly captures a summer’s fun. Complete with a surprise cameo from Maiya The Don, Flo Milli, and Skilla Baby to name a few, Lakeyah hits the court by day and parties by night, bringing her concept to life and affirming her It-girl status.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Tkay Maidza </strong>is back with a new single, &#8216;Silent Assassin,&#8217; which was produced by Flume. It’s the Australian musician’s first song since last year’s &#8216;Nights In December,&#8217; which came after the official conclusion of Maidza’s years-long Last Year Was Weird EP project. “I like to move in silence, but this song is a reminder that people shouldn’t count me out or underestimate my abilities; they should be afraid when I’m quiet as I come back more evolved,” she said in a statement. “I’ve always wanted to work with Flume and was immediately ecstatic when he played the instrumental for this; I wanted to channel Busta Rhymes and Missy Elliot.” [via Stereogum]</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Gaining buzz as an artist to watch this year, Brooklyn rapper<strong> BreezyLYN</strong> shares her infectious new single &#8216;KEEP WISHING&#8217; featuring 2Rare. On the energetic track, a bright piano loop glows through a pulsating beat as the production interpolates the R&amp;B staple &#8216;One Wish&#8217; by Ray J. BreezyLYN leans into this sonic backdrop with a charismatic flow before delivering the dynamic mantra-like hook, “If he had one wish, he’ll wish for a bitch like me.” Plus, Philadelphia phenomenon 2Rare pulls up with a showstopping cameo of his own. About the track, BreezyLYN commented, “I was very hands-on with the making of &#8216;KEEP WISHING&#8217; and worked closely with the producer to get the vibes right. We were in the studio creating the beat, and I instantly knew I had to get 2Rare on it. We didn’t know each other so I DM’ed him the snippet I posted and said, ‘I need you on this, we’d kill it.’ Finally, my label partner 100k Track was able to connect us on FaceTime, and from there, it’s been locked in. I also spoke with Ray J on FaceTime who gave me his support. The positive energy for this collab makes me so excited for everyone to hear it.” [via Hip Hop Since 1987]</p>
