Almost 4 years after thrilling Hip-Hop fans with their energetic collaboration ‘Demons & Goblins,’ hitmaking rappers Fivio Foreign and Meek Mill are seeking a similar response to their newest duet ‘Same 24.’

Delivered after a viral Twitter discussion that asserted the rappers are each other’s equivalents in their respective cities (Brooklyn and Philadelphia), the introspective cut sees the emcees take turns reflecting on the impact the game and the streets have had on their lives.

“If everybody demons, I’ma call this Hell / How I get rich off of a skill that I taught myself? / I remember when I couldn’t even afford this belt / I ain’t had the best drip, but I wore it well,” Foreign raps on the Lala-produced cut’s first verse.

Not even two weeks after confirming the birth of his first child with singer-actress Halle Bailey, rapper DDG is already back to business.

Having spent the latter half of 2023 promoting songs ‘Rizz,’ ‘Hard On Myself,’ and other tunes from his third studio album ‘Maybe It’s Me,’ the influencer-turned-emcee is kicking off the new year by turning his sights to its follow-up LP.

Coming into 2024 with increased traction on social media outlets for his latest single, ‘She Don’t Play’ (which may be featured on the yet-titled forthcoming effort), DDG finally lifted the Hitmaka and OG Parker-produced bop’s official music video.

“She the definition of a bad bitch (Bad) / Hair done, nails donе with the lashes / Every n-gga in thе club wanna smash it / Last n-gga she let hit barely lasted,” he raps on the sizzling track.

BJ the Chicago Kid‘s 2023 album ‘Gravy‘ may boast an impressive list of features like Coco Jones, Philip Bailey of Earth, Wind, & Fire, Robert Glasper,  Andra Day, and more, but a standout track from the critically acclaimed affair came courtesy of ‘Honey‘ featuring Chloe Bailey.

‘Houdini‘ may have vanished from the Billboard Hot 100’s top 20 not long after it arrived (thanks in great part to the influx of Christmas songs that dominated the chart shortly after), but Dua Lipa is determined to get the Danny L. Harle-penned and produced tune back to its former glory.

The latest tread in that stead comes courtesy of not one but two remixes sure to get music lovers moving just as much as the original.

Branded the ‘Slowride Mix’ and ‘Adam Port Mix’ respectively, the former lives up to its name by giving the upbeat bop a sexy, languid feel while the latter cranks up the percussion to send the Disco-inspired instrumental into overdrive.
