Naysayers who bet money that ‘Million Dollar Baby‘ performer Tommy Richman would be a two-hit wonder after his 2024 breakout smashes ‘Baby’ and ‘Devil Is a Lie‘ are set to be proven liars yet again.

Richman’s pushback against the sentiment was the inspiration behind his latest single ‘Actin Up.’

“[It’s] a statement piece made a few months ago as an act of frustration and feeling underestimated; it’s an anthem that speaks about giving an underdog a chance,” he said about the Jonah Roy and Kavi-produced bop.

And though ‘Actin Up’ is blowing up on social media (namely Tik Tok), the song has yet to crack the Hot 100 – a status undoubtedly set to change thanks to help from Rap polarizer Sexyy Red.

“Bend it over, shake that a–, show that print (Ooh) / Clean a– b-tch, smell good, I ain’t got no scent (No) / Err’body lookin’, I’m the baddest in this b-tch (Yeah) / Got some booty shorts on, c–chie fat, I’m feelin’ thick,” she spits on the tune’s remix dropped Friday (April 18).

Nearly 15 years separate fans of Keri Hilson from her last album, 2010’s ‘No Boys Allowed,’ but the wait for a new body of work finally came to a close on Friday (April 18) with the long-awaited release of ‘We Need to Talk: Love.’

Delivered after years of false starts, personal struggles, and professional setbacks, Hilson unlocked news about the LP just a month ago before quickly following with its lead single ‘Bae.’

Having already given anxious fans a preview of five of the project’s songs, now the 42-year-old is giving them a listen in full to the 9-song opus.
