Read our lists below:
Flo Milli – Never Lose Me EP
On the heels of securing her first-ever placement on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart with the Lil Yachty-assisted single “Never Lose Me,” Flo Milli has dropped a new project that carries the same name. Never Lose Me is a 5-track offering with variations of the Gerreaux-produced record. Fans can also expect to hear a sped-up and slowed-down version of the single. Bryson Tiller and Lil Yachty will make guest appearances on the project as well. Flo Milli’s recent single interpolates Babyface Ray and 42 Dugg’s “Ron Artest.”
Lyrically, the song finds Flo Milli being wined and dined by a person she can’t get enough of. As Flo Milli makes her feelings for this person apparent, the rapper asserts that she’s one in a million. “How you gon’ prove you could treat me right?/You stole my heart like a thief in the night/Yeah, he my man, he was never your type,” she delivers.
Lil Uzi Vert – “Red Moon”
Before Christmas arrived, Lil Uzi Vert dropped off a present in the form of a new single. Their latest offering, “Red Moon,” is said to sample Drake’s “7969 Santa (feat. Teezo Touchdown),” but carries a faster rhythm. In the single, the Pink Tape rapper reflects on a moment when their former relationship ran its course. Although the two have gone their separate ways, Lil Uzi Vert can’t help but think about this person. Lyrics like “But our love is not the same/Our feelings change like seasons/You tell me that you leavin’/You go right now, then I ain’t breathin’/She’s on my mind all the damn time” bring the narrative home.
Usher and H.E.R. – “Risk It All”
Usher and H.E.R’s piano-led R&B single, “Risk It All,” is a part of the soundtrack for The Color Purple movie, which stars singers like Fantasia and Halle Bailey. According to People, “Risk It All” illustrates “the raw emotion and enduring strength of the film’s narratives: risk, love and liberation.” Similarly, the emotive record finds H.E.R. and Usher singing about taking a chance on love even if it comes with potential heartbreak. “I don’t mind/Feelin’ like I’m bound to fall,” Usher and H.E.R. sings, “Close my eyes/Baby, I would risk it all.” The song also speaks about individuals finding common ground regarding having a desire for true love.
K Suave – “Insecure”
K Suave tells the opps that they don’t need to be “Insecure” because he’s successful in his new song. The intergalactic trap beat gives the 1400 Entertainment rapper room to drop some flex-worthy bars about his lavish lifestyle. Additionally, K Suave implies that his boo is envious because of all the attention he’s receiving from other females. “She hate that I got bad b***hes/I buy all my h*es new whips/New bags/They brag different,” he spits. In “Insecure,” K Suave speaks about his money-making mindset, being focused, staying around good company, and being the flyest guy in the room.
Sexyy Red, Chief Keef – “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad)”
Chief Keef airs his grievances with his baby mamas via Sexyy Red’s “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad).” Like the femcee, the “I Don’t Like” hitmaker raps about his ex’s treacherous ways. Moreever, he drops rhymes about being overcharged for child support, their pettiness, and overzealous ways. The rapper also drops clever bars about his physique, drip, foreign whips, and ways with women. Over the bass-heavy Tay Keith cut, he spits “Dirty bitch be tryna take what a n***a work for/I done been through some s**t, man, that shit don’t hurt, ho/In the back of the Maybach, so I keep the curtains low/I ain’t got s**t for you, dirty b***ch, I’m broke, h*/Tryna get revenge by suckin’ d**k, b***h, your cutthroat/I’m with three Powerpuff Girls, Mojo Jojo.”
Kalan.FrFr and Tay B – “Don’t Move”
4 Shooters Only recently linked up with Kalan.FrFr and Tay B for their For The Block segment. Once Kalan.FrFr and Tay B touch the mic, they drop warning bars toward the opps, implying that these individuals should be careful with their decisions. Before the song ends, Kalan.FrFr and Tay B also rap about their impressive ice, charm, and retaliation methods. In one part of “Don’t Move,” the rappers also speak about chasing a bag. Lyrics like “Don’t know why a n***a think we ain’t gon stomp him to the pavement/How a n***a know my name for real and think I’m playing,” and “They like Tay since you got rich you acting funny/Treat my workers like Rihanna b***h you better have my money,” highlight the song’s overall theme. Sonically, “Don’t Move” draws from the trap and utilizes aggressive elements.
