Not even two weeks after confirming the birth of his first child with singer-actress Halle Bailey, rapper DDG is already back to business.

Having spent the latter half of 2023 promoting songs ‘Rizz,’ ‘Hard On Myself,’ and other tunes from his third studio album ‘Maybe It’s Me,’ the influencer-turned-emcee is kicking off the new year by turning his sights to its follow-up LP.

Coming into 2024 with increased traction on social media outlets for his latest single, ‘She Don’t Play’ (which may be featured on the yet-titled forthcoming effort), DDG finally lifted the Hitmaka and OG Parker-produced bop’s official music video.

“She the definition of a bad bitch (Bad) / Hair done, nails donе with the lashes / Every n-gga in thе club wanna smash it / Last n-gga she let hit barely lasted,” he raps on the sizzling track.

The latest tread in that stead comes courtesy of not one but two remixes sure to get music lovers moving just as much as the original.

Branded the ‘Slowride Mix’ and ‘Adam Port Mix’ respectively, the former lives up to its name by giving the upbeat bop a sexy, languid feel while the latter cranks up the percussion to send the Disco-inspired instrumental into overdrive.
