Reel Goats was summoned to direct the music video for ‘Pick Up‘ – the latest release from DaBaby’s chart-topping junior studio album, ‘Blame It On Baby.’

Featuring Migos star Quavo, the video for the DJ K.i.D-produced bop sees the Rap duo engage in time travel and encounter everything from prehistoric life to the Ice Cube classic film, ‘Friday.’

Even traveling to outer space, the whimsical clip continues DaBaby’s track record of infusing comedy in his music videos and, like those before it, ‘Pick Up’ is a winner.

While a number of R&B artists have seen 2020 render some of their poorest performing efforts to date, the same certainly cannot be said for Jhené Aiko.

Bouncing back from the less than favorable commercial showing of her 2017-released sophomore album, ‘Trip,’ her junior LP – ‘Chilombo’ – took a trip straight to the top of R&B charts upon its release in March thanks to the success of its singles ‘P*ssy Fairy,’ ‘B.S.’ (featuring H.E.R.), and more.

Now, nearly two months after issuing a re-release of ‘Chilombo’ (which ranks as the year’s top-selling female R&B project), the 32-year-old has learned its most celebrated singles have crossed the threshold for Platinum certification at the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).

Days after trending on Twitter for making ill-received comments about Brandy (as we reported here), rapper Yung Miami of Hip Hop duo City Girls saw her name among the site’s most talked about for her inclusion on Chloe x Halle‘s September 4-unveiled star-studded remix to their hit, ‘Do It.’

Teaming with Mulatto and Doja Cat, the trio of rap acts gave the Scott Storch-produced bop a facelift – much to the delight of their respective fan bases.  That is, until listeners got a whiff of what Miami was serving.
