Megan Thee Stallion has released her highly anticipated single, “Thot Shit,” to start off the Hot Girl Summer just right. In addition to dropping her new single, she also released the music video, reprising her role as her alter ego, Tina Snow. The music video begins with an older white Congressman leaving a nasty comment on Megan’s music video, and for the totality of the video, Megan and her crew follows his every move (while twerking in the process!)
Right after the man leaves his comment on her video, Meg calls him personally and says, “The women you’re accidentally trying to step on are everybody that you depend on. They treat your diseases, they cook your meals, they haul your trash, they drive your ambulances, they guard you while you sleep – they control every part of your life. Do not fuck with them.”
When speaking about “Thot Shit” on Twitter, Megan Thee Stallion told her fans, “I’m really just talking shit and taking ownership of the words ‘thot’ and ‘hoe’ bc they’re not the drag men think it is when trying to come at women for doing them.”
Today newly-signed Capitol Records hip hop/RnB artist 3Breezy releases the video for “Message To Her.” The record, self-released by 3Breezy last November, already has 2,817,445 views, and overall in his short career 3Breezy has amassed nearly 25 million streams in the U.S. alone.
On “Message to Her,” Breezy tells the story of a woman who’s been neglected by her lover. Alternating between the woman’s perspective and his own, Breezy offers words of encouragement that are as tender as his vocals: “Pick your head up, baby, know you got a purpose.” Inspired by a direct message he received from a fan who wanted him to sing a story she couldn’t tell on her own, the song is both a literal embodiment of his mission to provide musical therapy for fans across the globe. The comments most shared from listeners are how the felt every word and that the song hits hard, As Breezy prepares his new project, Catch a Breeze, he’s just at the beginning of exploring this sensitive side of himself more fully.
3Breezy has only been making music for around a year, but already has a growing legion of fans ensnared by his crooning, hazy confessionals, and uplifting aphorisms. Raised in Pennsauken Township, New Jersey, he grew up surrounded by sisters and aunts and did a lot of listening, the background soundtrack for “Message to Her” and his understanding of both a man and a woman’s perspective — a born shoulder to lean on.
Gifted with a reassuring baritone and the empathy of someone who listens more than he speaks, 3Breezy colors in tales of heartbreak and healing with smoky melodies and wide-eyed sincerity, creating optimistic anthems for lost souls in search of happy endings. After debuting his first song in October of 2020 he began a consistent pattern of releasing singles & his debut mixtape “Murda She Wrote”. His sincere lyrics and detailed story-telling quickly captivated audiences across Tik Tok, YouTube, & locally. Through his music 3Breezy hopes to uplift, empower, and spread positivity through crooning his hazy confessionals, and uplifting aphorisms.
26-year old Dominican singer, DaniLeigh, experienced backlash online after debuting a preview of her single, “Yellow Bone” on Instagram. In the now deleted video, the singer dances to the song, with the lyrics, “Yellow bone that’s what he wants!” *Sighs.* Oh Dani.

Immediately, the song triggered online conversations regarding colorism within the Black community and the questionable relationship between race and ethnicity within the Hispanic community.
Many social media users also speculated that “Yellow Bone” was a diss track towards Meme, DaBaby’s ex-girlfriend, as DaBaby is now dating DaniLeigh.

Despite these allegations, DaniLeigh responded to the backlash with a now deleted post, asking, “Why can’t I make a song for my light skin baddies? Why y’all think I’m hating on other colors when there are millions of songs speaking on all types… Why y’all so sensitive & take it personal… Gahhhh damn.”
She then added, “I’m Dominican… I’m Spanish, I’m black I’m white .. leave me alone.”
After the continued backlash, she went on Instagram to apologize for the song, interestingly wearing box braids and stating that she was “dating a whole chocolate man” as a reason to defend herself from the colorist accusations.
Twitter and other social media users did not respond well to her PR-scripted apology:
Danileigh made an “apology” video where she wore box braids, spoke in a blaccent, denied understanding colorism or light skin privilege, and said she had “melanated” friends so she couldn’t be racist. Unbelievable lmao pic.twitter.com/oqKSBJuTVF
Bottom line, we did not need DaniLeigh’s “Yellow Bone” song, as it was overall: (1)sub-par, (2) felt like a dig at DaBaby’s ex-girfriend,and it was (3) a problematic, colorist “light skin anthem” by a woman who does not even consider herself black.

In the light of King Von’s recent passing, PnB Rock honors King Von with single, “Rose Gold.”
Although the song was recorded prior to King Von’s tragic death, “Rose Gold” pays homage to friends PnB Rock has lost in the past.
In “Rose Gold,” PnB Rock raps, “I got all these scars ’cause my nigga’s gone (It’s ’cause they gone)/ Tat ’em on my back and put ’em in my song (Damn, huh).”
King Von’s verse is the highlight of the song, as he raps, “Before I die they gon’ remember me (They is)/For bein’ in these streets and slangin’ heat, ain’t ducked no enemies (Boom, boom).”
PnB Rock has not yet released a music video for the song, but stream “Rose Gold” down below to hear the full version!

“Best Friend” featuring Doja Cat has reached #1 on iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap chart for the 2nd time since its release. And is still the #1 music video in the category. @Saweetiepic.twitter.com/8F22tK7PYq
Even though Saweetie and Doja Cat never shared a friendship prior to the song “Best Friend,” Saweetie has said, “I love Doja Cat, I met her about two years ago.”
Saweetie also said, “I think this record fits perfectly for us because it reminds me of independent women but in a different way. It’s empowering, it’s fun, it’s sexy but it still talks about some real stuff, and I feel like we’re missing a best friend anthem so I think me and her just fit perfectly for it.”
