Beyond being the penman behind some of Cardi B‘s most memorable songs (see: ‘Bodak Yellow,’ ‘Up,’ ‘I Like It,’ ‘Bongos,’ ‘Bickenhead,’ and ‘Be Careful‘), Pardison Fontaine tag-teamed with the GRAMMY-winning rapstress for what remains his biggest hit to date: 2018’s Platinum smash ‘Backin It Up.’

Over six years after bumping ‘Backin’ into the Billboard Hot 100’s top 40, the dynamic duo are looking to repeat the feat with their latest collaboration ‘Toot It Up.’

“Said I’ma toot that a–, toot toot that a– / If you a ballplayer, I’m tryna recruit that a– / Said it taste like ice cream you wanna scoop that a– / Turn around, through the ground, Uncle Luke that a–,” raps Cardi on the Salaam Remi production.

Ahead of the arrival of the song’s official music video later Friday morning, the dynamic duo have unveiled a first listen to the song itself.

With some of the biggest first-week sales of his career attached to his latest album ‘Hurry Up Tomorrow,‘ superstar singer The Weeknd is looking to pad the final figure even more by giving fans yet another reason to stream the critically acclaimed project.

Having already gifted songs Open Hearts,’ ‘Sao Paulo,’ and ‘Timeless‘ the video treatment, the Canadian hitmaker followed by doing the same for fan-favorite ‘Red Terror.’

“Hush, my child, you’re mine / All my life, I try  / To keep you warm, when I go  / You’re still my child, don’t cry,” he wails on the eerie, electroPop number.

Accompanying the song’s arrival with a Javier Lovato-directed music video, hop inside to hear ‘Terror’ in full.

Following the lukewarm reception of his 2022 album ‘Give or Take,’ GRAMMY-nominated singer Giveon took some time out of the spotlight – a break that ended with his triumphant return to the Hot 100 earlier this year on the wings of the Teddy Swims-assisted ‘Are You Even Real.’

Using the reignited interest as a springboard for his solo efforts, the R&B star (born Giveon Evans) is giving what’s believed to be the first taste of new music from his forthcoming, yet-titled album via the new song ‘Twenties.’

“Spending my twenties on you / I poured my heart in it / Don’t get me started / Spend my time wondering why / I spent my twenties on you,” he sings over Sevn Thomas production.

Released Friday (February 7), ‘Twenties’ arrives alongside its official music video. See it inside.
