best new songs

This week, RemixdMag’s best new songs focus on taking risks. From 4Batz and Drake‘s “act ii: date @ 8” to Terell Online‘s “Live For,” our list encourages people to look at fear, uncertainty, and doubt head-on.

Read our selections below:

4Batz – “act ii: date @ 8 (remix) feat. Drake”

4Batz’s Drake-assisted “act ii: date @ 8 (remix)” finds the Canadian rapper using his charm as inspiration for some doting lyrics about a woman who he feels is his better half. Subsequently, the OVO honcho sings about keeping their relationship private, how he fell for her hard, spoiling her rotten, and being fairly afraid of putting his heart on the line. 

Ready to pop out, but we gotta lay low/I really gotta calm down/’Fore I end up in jeopardy just like the game show,” Drake delivers with “A thousand on your fuckin’ hair/Two hunnid on your f**kin’ nails, for real/This s**t feel like a fairy tale (I swear)/I’ll make them open up Chanel.” 

4Batz’s “act ii date @ 8” gained massive traction after his From the Block performance made waves on social media platforms like TikTok. Since then, the Dallas-born artist has dropped a follow-up record called “act iii: on god? (she like).” Drake and 4Batz linked up after Timbaland pushed for the two to collaborate amid reviewing the record. 

Jean Deaux – “Dreamin”

Jean Deaux takes a walk down memory lane in her new ethereal R&B offering “Dreamin’.” Followed by symphonic elements, the versatile artist highlights how she’s grown throughout the years, singing, “I didn’t know better/No loss means no gain/I can’t get caught holding on or leave that door open.” Then, she reminisces on her humble beginnings, throwing some confident rhymes in the mix as well. “Dreamin'” can be found on the Chicago artists’ upcoming EP nowhere, fast. About “Dreamin'”, Jean Deaux says, “It feels like a coming-of-age song for me. Just getting older, I’ve been reflecting on all the things that I used to dream about when I was younger.”

She continues, “What’s changed, and what stayed the same? I’m speaking generally but I also touch on some of the patterns I’ve seen repeat since I was younger, like feeling a desire for love and intimacy but also feeling like I was scared to branch out and say that I needed people. Now I’m in this place where I’m letting that go. And I find myself wondering if past connections are holding onto the old me.” 

Lil Crix – “Kold Shoulder (feat. BLP Kosher)” 

Lil Crix and BLP Kosher‘s bass-heavy drill single “Kold Shoulder” highlights how the rappers will put their opps in check. While using equally menacing flows, the two rappers drop vivid rhymes about fighting against the haters. In addition, Lil Crix and BLP Kosher define their retaliation method against them. BLP Kosher spits, “Hangin out inside your bushes/ Yea them boys some real gardeners.” In “Kold Shoulder,” Lil Crix and BLP Kosher call the opps’ bluff as well. For instance, Lil Crix raps, “That n***a aim his Choppa he’s a faker he’s a damn poser,” and “Them n***as they aint got no cars they takin Ubers.” 

Snoop Dogg – “Love You More (feat. Dave East and WHOISTEVENYOUNG)”

Coming off Peacock’s BOSCO film soundtrack is “Love You More” by Snoop Dogg, Dave East, and WHOISTEVENYOUNG. Sampling 50 Cent’s “21 Questions,” the new single finds the three musicians testing their lover’s extreme loyalty to them. As the trap arrangements sound off, they wonder if their significant others’ would stick by them through any circumstance. Additionally, the three artists reflect on their past and reveal why they don’t trust others so easily. Lyrics like “You can call me anything you want, you can’t call me bro/The street life is all I know/If I fell off tomorrow would you still love me/Without no Gucci on my back would you still hug me,” bring the narrative home. 

Glamma Rose – “In the Heat”

Glamma Rose’s sultry R&B offering “In the Heat” is about living in the moment with a forbidden lover. Moreover, the singer describes how she’s drawn to someone who isn’t “hers to keep.” Although Glamma Rose attempts to fight temptation, she always finds herself back in his arms. Lyrics like “You musta put a spell on me, I’m enchanted/I can not resist your charm when you call for me” bring the narrative home. Glamma Rose’s new song comes on the heels of “Starry Night” and “Edge of The Universe.”

Terell Online – “Live For”

In his new alternative R&B trap cut “Live For,” Terell Online takes pride in his hard work and dedication. While asserting that he’s been in “go mode,” the artist reflects on the beginning stages of his career, singing, “I done been at the bottom fought my way to the top/Earned my scrapes and my scars/Nobody’s taking my spot.” As the song continues, Terell Online describes a time when many people didn’t believe in him. But since he’s become successful, they are now more supportive. In the chorus, Terell Online croons, “Time and time again/I tried to tell ’em I’m the one/Built this on my lonely/Now they treat me like sun.” Before the song ends, Terell Online advises listeners that the only thing that matters at the end of the day is who’s around you before the fame and fortune. 

Interview: Myaap on leading the charge of the bubbling Milwaukee rap scene

I can’t put my finger on but there’s definitely something special about Myaap (@itsmyaap). We are noticeably missing the fun in music these days and this Milwaukee-based trendsetter just brought it back.

Only two months into the new year, it’s overly apparent that Myaap is having her way. From going viral multiple times and accompanying Veeze on the second leg of his tour, this year is near guaranteed to be a bigger success than anyone could imagine.

Remixd Magazine spoke to Myaap while she was fresh off the release of her single, “Get Shit Crackin” in February. This song is also part of her latest EP, BIG MYAAP, NOT THE LIL ONE, which debuted in January. Even while on tour with Veeze for the Ganger Tour, Myaap has been keeping her fans satisfied with new videos. She remains a leading figure in the vibrant Milwaukee/low-end music scene, blending infectious dance moves with catchy hits that showcase her playful charm and clever lyrical ability.

Remixd Magazine spoke with Myaap about her recent success, tour life, and so much more.

As an outsider looking in, can you breakdown the Milwaukee rap scene?

Basically Milwaukee rap is about dancing and having fun. We be having claps to our music, so you can dance to the music.

As you were growing up what are some Milwaukee and just artists in general, that you really enjoyed listening to?

I really like Lil Kim. I’ve always been a fan of Lil Kim. For Milwaukee artists, I really like Certified Trapper. He’s pretty dope. 

What about Lil Kim’s music and artistry made you gravitate to her?

She talks about real stuff and will talk about anything.

What do you look for when you collaborate with producers? Because I’ve even seen on Twitter that you have worked with Atlanta producers like PopstarBenny. That alone shows me you’re not afraid to get out of your comfort zone.

To be honest, I like all different types of music genres. It’s not really anything I’m looking for, because I like trying new things. I like stepping out of my comfort zone. People think I only know how to do “low-end” stuff and I want to prove to them wrong. I like proving people wrong.

Take me back to when you were making “BIG MYAAP, NOT THE LIL ONE.” Like what was your intention behind making this project?

I wanted to let people know that I don’t only make “low-end” music and that’s it’s different kinds of music that I can make. Because it’s all different types of music on that EP. 

How long did this EP take to make? 

Not long. I already had most of the songs in my files. 

Would you consider yourself to be a perfectionist? 

Yes. Because when I get in the studio, I make like 5 songs. And I usually only be in the studio for 2 hours.

Even though we are early in the year, what has been your biggest lesson of 2024 so far?

To never give up. Because I never gave up. No matter what I’m going through I just keep going. 

And I can imagine your life looks totally different than last year. What advice would you give to upcoming artists who hope to be in your same position one day? 

Stay consistent. That’s what it is really all about. 

What do you think changed in your life so that you were able to stay consistent and really lock in?

When I started seeing the music I made, go up even more. Like the “Getting To It” song, made me want to go even harder and not stop and keep making hits. Hit after hit after hit. It motivates me to keep going. 

Also congrats on being on the second leg of Veeze’s ‘Ganger Tour’. How has that experience been so far?

It’s been amazing, to be honest. I love it.

And has it been hard in any way, because his fanbase is mainly male?

I would say the first date, they didn’t really know who I was. So the crowd really wasn’t feeling me, I guess. Then like the next couple of dates, the crowd really started going crazy, even the male crowd. 

What did you do differently?

At first, my setlist was all my dancing songs, then it was all my songs where I’m really rapping last. So what I did was move the songs that I was really rapping on in the beginning and then I put the dance songs last. So then I could catch my breath, dance, and react to the crowd.

What else can we expect more from you in 2024? 

More fire songs. More fire music videos. All that’s coming. I got another mixtape on the way with Nedarb. He’s a pretty good producer.

How did y’all lock in?

He found me on Instagram. Then we started texting and then he started sending me beats. His beats are different like “LA-type beats.” So I feel like this mixtape is going to be fire. 

Are there any artists on your collaboration wishlist that you’d think you would sound great with? 

I would love to collaborate with Sexyy Red for sure and Chief Keef. That’s it. And Glorilla! I feel like we would sound great on a song together. 

For my last question, I want to open the floor to you to co-sign any rising artists. Whether they are from Milwaukee or not.

I really like J.P.’s music, he’s pretty fire. That new song he made ‘Bad Bitty’ is pretty fire.

Tyla

Tyla is making fans lose their breath and it’s not because of her sizzling single “Water”. In fact, the periodic pulses of anticipation for the trailblazing Tyla tour have abruptly stopped. Fans around the world were met with the heartbreaking word that Tyla’s much-anticipated global tour would be canceled just as it was about to begin. The reason for such a sudden hiatus? She stated to the world in her heartfelt Instagram post – injury. Although she was preparing for her first world tour later this month, which included stops at festivals like Coachella, those bucket list goals will be put on pause for now.

On Thursday (March 7th), the South African breakthrough hitmaker announced that she is canceling her North American and European tour dates, as well as a few festivals. Tyla’s forthcoming global tour, has been canceled due to an injury that she no longer can push through. As a result, all North American ticket buyers will receive an immediate refund. While international ticket holders will be contacted by the ticket suppliers.

Tyla Shares The News to Fans

Following the sad news, Tyla penned a heartfelt letter to fans on Instagram. Revealing that she’s been privately battling a health issue.

She went on to explain that her injury had “tragically worsened,” forcing her to postpone the trek entirely. The tour was slated to start in Oslow, Norway, on March 21st, followed by the North American leg kicking off in San Francisco on April 22nd before wrapping in Minneapolis on May 28th.

She added that she wants to be stage-ready again this summer. That she and her team are “working diligently on a spectacular show.” Tyla advised her Tygers not to “worry too much,” as they would still see plenty of her around. “Just know when I’m back to performing pain-free, I’m gonna be even more of a problem,” the Grammy-winning singer said in the post. “It’s hard having to turn down opportunities you’ve been waiting your whole life for but God has his plan.”

What’s Next?

Although the amapiano-R&B phenomenon will not be performing live anytime soon, Tyla’s highly awaited debut album is set to drop on March 22nd. With that being said, the 22-year-old, who was named one of Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Artists to Watch in 2024, will release her self-titled album.

Tyla’s climbing career, which began with the chart-topping track “Water,” is not limited to the venues she graces or the musical accolades she receives. It’s also about a community, a covenant bursting with love and expectation from her followers. To share such a pause, she needed the chords of empathy. Tyla strummed those strings with the same solace that her music is born of.

While the cancellation is an apparent blow, it is important to remember that this intermission does not represent the end. The possibility to resonate with global arenas remains; the notes have simply been transposed. And, as the tour may be on hold, her highly awaited debut album arrives. In doing so, it signals the start of a new chapter. The highly anticipated album, especially in the aftermath of this recent news, may bring solace.
