Having shared studio time with the likes of Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj, Iggy Azalea, Saweetie, Cardi B, and other over the years, Tyga is no stranger to calling on female rappers for assistance with cranking out hits.

One of his most memorable female Rap collaborations is 2019’s ‘Juicy,’ the second single from Doja Cat‘s sophomore album ‘Hot Pink,’ which – with its #41 peak on the Hot 100 – served as her first noteworthy moment on the Pop charts.

Unexpectedly, the two announced a reunion earlier this week with hopes of reaching even higher heights on the tally.

Titled ‘Freaky Deaky,’ the tune arrived Friday (February 25) alongside a music video that very much lives up to its title.  Hop inside to see the Christian Breslauer-directed action.

By comparison, Rap is easily music’s most collaborative genre.

In fact, some of Hip Hop history’s biggest hits have come as the result of some heavyweight tag teams on a track – a nod to the age old adage of ‘strength in numbers.’ Yet, while there is a noteworthy class of emcees who have made indelible marks on the charts by their lonesome, the ladies of the male-dominated genre can’t exactly boast that frequency.

Making the achievement all the more toast-worthy when it does occur, this week saw rising rapstress Latto join an exclusive list of female Hip Hop hitmakers when her latest single, ‘Big Energy,‘ made big moves into the Hot 100’s top 40.

To celebrate, we’re raising a glass to the entire club of femcees who have brought the same energy – for and by themselves.

After rolling out one of the most unique (and unforgettable) campaigns to trumpet its arrival (see: pregnancy hoax), Lil Nas X‘s long-awaited debut album, ‘Montero,’ has finally landed on digital shelves.

The eponymous affair – kicked off by the controversial singles ‘Call Me By Your Name,’ ‘Sun Goes Down,’ and ‘Industry Baby’ – comes as LNX’s first studio effort and first full body of work since exploding onto the scene with 2019’s ‘Old Town Road’-housing EP, ‘7.’

Though X (born Montero Hill) handles most of the 15-track project by his lonesome, his list of guest stars – which includes Elton John, Jack Harlow, Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, Miley Cyrus, and more – is far from anything to shake a stick at. What’s more, Hill recently revealed Nicki Minaj and Drake were almost included!

Nevertheless, hop inside to watch the ‘delivery announcement’ of ‘Montero’ then stream it courtesy of Apple Music and Spotify.
