Ashanti left her summer-fuelled, thirsty trap pictures on social media showing her colorful rocking bikinis in paradise-like scenes. Many thought the R&B hitmaker was just one to enjoy a tropical holiday, but it looks like she’s been busy at work. Willie X.O, a Nigerian-born artist, recently released his single “Early in the Morning” featuring Ashanti, and the accompanying video shows many of the scenes shared on Instagram’s “Foolish” singer.

Willie and Ashanti are playing the role of a loving couple in the video that are not only enchanted with each other, but with the island’s allure. Ashanti proposed that fans will eventually get a fresh project from her quickly as she worked on her forthcoming album with Metro Boomin. She still has to disclose a title or release date, but her latest track characteristics with other artists keep her fans happy until the complete project rolls out.

When it comes to dropping music videos, Carol City artist Twelve’Len doesn’t conform to any set of time-specific regulations and we’re here for it. The singer published his first single “Let’s Stay” back in August 2018, and the Flowerpop-directed visual was lastly published yesterday. It feels like Twelve’Len once again pays homage to his hometown, and by showing them in the video to those nearest to him who have backed him throughout his life. As with his last music video, “Thank the Gang,” he also chose to go for a vintage feel for his visual.

Twelve’Len is unlike any other style, and the rapper-turned-singer shared how he evolved as an artist with Miami New Times. “It just got over-saturated, and it was done by everyone,” Twelve said of rap. “I needed to do something else, so I started to add melodies under my raps. It got to where I was like,’ You know what? I’m going to sing on those songs.’ Eventually, I just weaned myself off the rap.”

Chicago’s very own Calboy returns with the clip to “Love Me,” fresh from a latest release of the album. The new single gives insight into the humble beginnings of the rapper with the familiar trap house environments. The video, similar to the song, describes the early experiences of the rapper, coming up in Chiraq’s rougher ends. In addition, Calboy can be seen in various environments, including posting with his homies in front of his crib, cruising in his Rolls Royce or observing large booty girls cooking in the trap. The lyrics weigh on the various factors why everyone should recognize the rapper for being on his grind and making it out of the hood.

“Love Me” is a track component of a larger project, the newly published Wildboy from Calboy. The job body involves a sequence of tracks that features remarkable from Meek Mill, Lil Durk, Yo Gotti & Lil Durk. The video enables the release of prior project singles, namely “Chariot,” “Caroline,” and “Nina,” to follow.

Smino gave what he wished to his fans, which was an 18-track tape named Noir he fell off last year in November. Since his last video release for “Z4L” in April, some time has gone and now he’s here with another for the third track, “KLINK.” The video considers Smino and the homies just dancing, drinking, and having fun.

“I was waiting for the person of my turn. This is certainly something I deserve. I’ve been working my ass off, bro. Like, I can tell that with confidence, you understand what I’m saying? People from where I come from understand me. I won’ Most Likely to Be Famous’ and’ Best Rapper’ in high school,” revealed Smino before his sophomore tape was released.

“I’ve always been with the music on that shit, so I don’t try to say I’ve always been a fantastic artist, but I’ve always been a practitioner. I always tried to compose a song. It wasn’t all my songs tight. So long I’ve been making wack-ass music. But the more you’re working, the bigger you’re doing than you imagine.”
