Shabibz and YSL’s BSlime team up for new anthem “Booty Go”

Northern California rapper Shabibz is touting his latest single “Booty Go,” featuring YSL member, BSlime. The upbeat track arrives just in time for summer, as it’s definitely an anthem that is meant to dance and vibe to. On the new track, Shabibz and BSlime find their rhythm and match the harmonious melody of the beat. The two artists slide on the track and capture the energy of the summer.

“This single is pure energy and fun,” Shabibz says. “It’s an anthem for bad bitches everywhere, anywhere, in any shape, size or form.”

With “Booty Go,” versatile rapper Shabibz is looking to take over the summer with his freshest single. With a sound that can be described as wavy, fresh, and authentic, Shabibz is an artist who is ever-evolving, yet is able to stay true to his core of creating music that’s engaging.

A product of his culture, the Lebanon-born and Sacramento-raised rapper Shabibz is bridging the gap between two cultures and sharing his story along the way. From a young age Shabibz has always been the definition of a creative, whether it was writing poems, or building, creativeness always ran through him. 

“Booty Go” will also be accompanied by a music video, shot by Never Panic Films & Director Connor Films, two affiliates of the Young Stoner Life Records faculty.

“It’s a culture deeper than ass shaking,” he continued. “I want people to feel empowered about themselves when playing this slap. Tap in to a higher frequency and feel good. Go crazy.”

As far as what’s next, Shabibz has been in the studio crafting his sophomore project. Following his well received debut Step Back, he has teased a fall release date with the BSlime-assisted single “Booty Go,” to be featured on the upcoming project as well.

Stay tuned for the visual dropping later this month. In the meantime, here’s his latest release, “Booty Go” ft. BSlime below.

SZA celebrates 5 years ‘CTRL’ anniversary with deluxe edition

SZA fans were blessed earlier today as the TDE songstress dropped CTRL (Deluxe). The announcement comes in honor of the five-year anniversary of the cult classic project dropping in 2017. The fourteen-track LP received instant acclaim for its candid lyrics and vocal displays from the “Love Galore” songstress. Now, it’s making its way back with the addition of seven unreleased tracks. SZA already teased on Twitter of unreleased material being on the way to commemorate the occasion.

She also let her audience know that they’ll still have to wait on anything new, as the latest collection of songs are from the album’s era. The newly-released songs are all recordings that SZA made between 2014-2017. According to the Grammy-award winner, it’s all apart of her “spring cleaning” as she looks to drop old miscalleanous tracks from her vault. It’s definitely evident on songs like the alternate version of “Love Galore” and “2AM”, a smooth remake of the PARTYNEXTDOOR staple “Come and See Me”. Despite the songs dating back five years, they all still hold strong replay value and play back beautifully.

Despite it being the biggest amount of new material by the singer in years, the song dump isn’t over just yet. The deluxe songs are just warm-ups for SZA as she hints at dropping more old jams. More can be from other CTRL sessions, as well as some left off from her Z EP or recent throwaways. For certain, everything that didn’t make the cut will be made available on SoundCloud soon.

“What isn’t on deluxe, maybe on SoundCloud as well tomorrow? Deciding. Spring cleaning old thoughts.” – – SZA on Twitter

Since the “Supermodel” vocalist is getting of her old music, it’s possible that SZA’s highly-anticipated album is on the way. Since finishing her album in Hawaii earlier this year, she’s already calling it her most “unisex” project thus far. The release date hasn’t been announced, but she’s already confirmed that fans are in store for a “SZA Summer”.

Interview: Meet Canada’s rising melancholic producer, SLMN

Music’s something that SLMN was exposed to at an early age, but it isn’t something originally in the cards for him. Born Mohamed Sulaiman of Sudanese descent, his dad introduced him to his homeland’s music, which still influences the music he makes today. “As a kid, I was heavily influenced by the style and melodies as my dad played the Middle Eastern instrumental called the oud”. The Toronto-based producer lived a different life, working as a tech coordinator. Later down the line, the support from artists and fans gave him a newfound hunger to take his production further.

“Seeing the impact my production had on artists & fans gave me a belief in myself that I’ve never experienced before,” SLMN said in a recent interview with RemixdMag.

One of his early supporters included the Neptunes’ former manager Rob Walker. Since Rob discovered SLMN, their relationship has been fruitful. Their work together would lead to the producer signing his first publishing deal with Sony, negotiated by Rob. “[The deal] essentially gave me the confidence that I could sustain financial independence working just on music.”

Since then, the trajectory for SLMN’s career has only gone up. His sound is soulful and drum heavy, creating ideal sound settings for artists to make melodically expressive music. His list of production credits are becoming lengthy, garnering collaborations with Russ, Roy Wood$, Lil Yachty, and a lot more. One of his biggest personal accomplishments is his production for “Caution”, the title track for Mariah Carey’s 2018 album. “The album debuted at #1 on Billboard for top R&B & Hip-Hop albums. That fact that the song produced was also the title track for the album was also a very proud moment.”

He’s also perfecting a sound for his own projects as well. The Late Bloomer EP released in mid 2020 received positive fanfare, with over 5 million global streams to date. Right now, he’s preparing to release more music with artists that he’s currently developing. Soon after, he plans to follow up with another EP, set to release .

In terms of the future, SLMN has his focus set not only on leveling up his accolades, but his sound as well. Now solidified in the game, he has his eyes set on achieving even more. “[I want] to get nominated for a Grammy, produce a top ten Billboard single, and grow my label to sign multiple acts in the future.” He also said that he will be dropping a Splice Original sample pack near the end of the year. As the year progresses, SLMN will be somebody to watch out for as he plans to make major moves.

His newest song “Where Did You Go” with Kvn Rose ft. anders is out now — you can check it out below.
