Thanks in great part to inciting a Tik Tok craze with its viral dance, the Yuki Chiba-assisted ‘Mamushi‘ – found aboard Megan Thee Stallion‘s third studio album ‘Megan‘ – danced its way into history books when it cracked the Billboard Pop chart’s top 40.

To help it reach even higher Hot 100 heights, Meg’s tapped another Asian sensation – K-Pop princesses TWICE – for its official remix.

One of many gems listed on ‘Megan: Act II,‘ the October 25-released deluxe edition of the 3x GRAMMY winner’s latest album, hop inside to hear how the 9-member group did their thing on the updated version of ‘Mamushi.’

‘Last Time I Saw You’ hitmaker Nicki Minaj last saw her named printed at #3 behind Latto and Doja Cat on Billboard’s Year-End Top Rap Artists (Female) chart thanks to her 2022 hits ‘Super Freaky Girl,’ ‘Do We Have a Problem?,‘ and others.

This year, however, she’s hopped to the front of the line.

Tyla took to social media earlier this week to tease a “mystery guest” would join her on the official remix to her breakout hit, ‘Water.’

Released Friday (November 17), fans – after incorrectly guessing the likes of Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Latto, or Trevor Jackson would be accompanying her on the revamp of the global smash – learned it was Rap superstar Travis Scott who earned the coveted slot.

In what came as the ultimate dupe, however, the South African hitmaker unveiled not one but TWO updated takes on the GRAMMY-nominated song.

Tapping award-winning DJ and producer Marshmello to assist on the latter remix, hop inside to hear his dancefloor-ready rendition.

Tyla sent her growing fan base into a frenzy earlier this week with news her Hot 100 smash hit, ‘Water,’ would be remixed with a mystery guest.

After rising to fame as musical director to superstars like Rihanna, Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake and Nicki Minaj, EMMY award-winning and GRAMMY-nominated  songwriter and producer Adam Blackstone has become a force to be reckoned with himself thanks to his 2022 debut album, ‘Legacy.’

In keeping up with the momentum of that critically acclaimed effort, Blackstone has announced his debut holiday LP, ‘A Legacy Christmas,’ and is bringing along some serious star power to make the season brighter.

Case in point? Award-winning singer-actress KeKe Palmer aboard the project’s first single ‘Christmas Kisses.’

“Ooh, Santa baby, baby, baby, please grant my wishes / Got plenty on my list but only one thing I’m missing / Now you know, you know I like diamonds and gold / But I hope you’re listening / Don’t forget about my kisses on this Christmas,” she sings on the tune’s festive chorus.

The June release of new songs ‘I Need a Thug’ and ‘Pinata’ undoubtedly had City Girls‘ fans (affectionately called #Citizens) thinking they were that much closer to the duo’s elusive third studio album – the follow-up to 2020’s ‘City on Lock.’

An unexpected pivot came Monday (July 10), however, when JT announced she would be lifting the lid on a solo venture: ‘No Bars.’

And while the rapstress (born Jatavia Johnson) has had her fair share of features without her groupmate Yung Miami (see: the “Queen Mix” to Nicki Minaj’s ‘Super Freaky Girl,‘ Summer Walker’s ‘Ex For A Reason,’ etc.), ‘Bars’ comes as her first totally solo outing since she ended her stint behind bars in 2019.

“Cold a** cocky b*tch, fur in the summertime (Brr) / He gon’ keep the bills paid ’cause he know a b*tch fine / B*tches always in my business, JT, what you really do? (What?) / I be at home playin’ fetch by a swimmin’ pool (Bing) / I’m a real big dog, b*tch, you a scrappy-doo,” she raps on the BrizzyOnDaBeat-produced track.

SexyyRed drove her viral single, ‘Pound Town,‘ right into personal milestone territory earlier this year when it became her inaugural Billboard-charting single thanks to a remix featuring Rap Queen Nicki Minaj.

Now, the St. Louis beauty is looking to hit even higher Hot 100 heights by joining forces with DaBaby for a revamp of his comeback smash, ‘Shake Sumn.’

Its original incarnation, released in June as part of his latest project ‘Call Da Fireman,’ has peaked at #69 on the Pop charts so far and is easily the embattled emcee’s best performing song since becoming embroiled in controversy for comments deemed homophobic.

With the drama behind him, the SexyyRed tag-team may give ‘Shake’ just the facelift needed to lift it to the Hot 100’s topmost quadrant.

Though at first Latto seemed poised to hit the Hot 100 jackpot with her February-released single, ‘Lottery,’ the Dr. Luke-produced tune quickly fizzled after its #83 peak.

Unfazed, the rapstress (born Alyssa Stephens) is shifting focus to its follow-up: ‘Put It On Da Floor.’

Dropped Friday (April 21), the Go Grizzly-helmed bop sees Stephens spit some fiery bars aimed at her detractors.

“Sh-t around my neck, it cost a arm and leg,” she raps before later saying, “Smoking on that gas, blunt big as Coi Leray / B-tches like to run their mouths but I’m the type to run the fade.”

Laden with lines that got Nicki Minaj fans (affectionately called #Barbz) and fellow rapstress Coi Leray up-in-arms (as we reported here), look inside to hear the tune that’s got the female Hip-Hop stars in a tizzy.

Jason Derulo and David Guetta are no strangers to dropping songs that dominate the dancefloor. So, fittingly the pair have teamed up again for their new single ‘Saturday/Sunday.’

Released ahead of Derulo’s performance this Sunday (Feb 11) at the third annual NFL TikTok Tailgate pregame party before the Super Bowl, the track follows the duo’s 2018 collaboration on the Gold-Certified ‘Goodbye’ alongside  Nicki Minaj & Willy William (the video for which has amassed over 150 million views on YouTube).

Speaking on their latest offering, Derulo said:

“Great to partner with David Guetta for this new track. We worked together a while back on ‘Goodbye’ with Nicki Minaj so it’s great to be on the same team again. This one is summertime ready. Also really looking forward to rocking the Super Bowl with it later this weekend.”

Guetta added:

“It’s great to have this collab track out. It’s a record I love so much and I think it is such a banger. I’m really happy to be working with Jason once again, finally!”

First teased on TikTok, the snippet has already been played over 5 million times.
