Hinged on a prominent sample of Subway & 702‘s 1994 classic of the same name, ‘This Lil Game We Play’ – the latest from legendary producer-songwriter Jermaine Dupri – unites a trio of hitmakers to help him hit a musical homerun.

While power couple Nelly and Ashanti sing the tune’s verses and hook, Juicy J comes in with a set of hypnotic yet naughty bars to seal the deal.

“Boy, I really want to stay / So we can play this little game we play / Where you go hide, and I will seek / Let me be the one to make you weak,” the GRAMMY-winning songstress croons on the dancefloor-ready bop.

The first taste from Dupri’s upcoming compilation album following So So Def’s newly minted partnership with Create Music Group, hop inside to hear the new tune in full.

As her City Girls co-hort JT continues to rake in acclaim from Hip-Hop fans for her February 2-released solo single ‘Sideways,’ rapper Yung Miami is looking to do the same with the new song ’50/50 Freestyle.’

“Money gettin’, I’m a money spender, you a runner / I ain’t goin’ 50/50 with no n-gga, I’m a hundred (B-tch) / F-ck I look like? / Silly hoes hatin’, please, address me as a boss, boo,” she raps on the Ace Redd and Aye YB-produced bop.

Announced Monday (February 5) as the first taste of her forthcoming ‘YAMS‘ era, ’50/50’ most notably offers a stinging slam of DJ Akademiks who she previously beefed with for slamming City Girls album sales and her proximity to Diddy during his sexual assault allegations.

Akademiks, you a b-tch/Why you speaking on women?,” she inquires on the new song.
