9 months after Bow Wow unveiled the new song ‘Use Me‘ – his first collaboration with Chris Brown since 2010’s ‘Ain’t Thinkin Bout You’ – the duo have finally lifted the lid on the cut’s official music video.

“I’ll let you use me, yeah (Yeah) / Use me, yeah (Yeah) / You’re so sexy, won’t you come bless me? Quit playin’ / Do what you wanna do with me, do your thing, baby (Yeah),” Chris sings over Hitmaka production bolstered by a sample of Ja Rule‘s 2002 smash ‘Down 4 U.’

Directed by OttotheDirector, the clip features highlights from Bow and Brown’s respective 2025 ‘Millennium‘ and ‘Breezy Bowl’ tours and so much more.

Tank gives Janet Jackson‘s 1986 smash ‘Control‘ a 2025 facelift courtesy of his new single of the same name.

Trading the original’s high energy for a slow-burning approach, the 5-time GRAMMY nominee’s take on the tune flips Janet’s classic on its head sonically and conceptually.

“Control / I now all of your spots, I’m in / Control / Take this ride, lose your mind when I’m inside,” he sings on the Bizness Boi, Abi, Crater, Oh Gosh Leotus, and Dylan Hyde-produced chorus.

A commanding bedroom-ready bop, Tank’s sizzling slow jam – officially released on November – saw its accompanying music video released this week.

“Well, it’s that pretty brown round thing / You should be mine, you should get a ring / You know I’ll five-star entertain / Baby, just tell me you feel the samе,” Scott croons over BBYKOBE production.

Although it was officially released over the summer, this week saw the Vybz Kartel-assisted tune finally get the video treatment.
