Nigerian street-pop star Asake is back with a new song, “2:30,” which is set to appear on a full-length project expected to arrive later this year.
The new tune finds Asake tapping into his roots to celebrate his authenticity and individuality over a beat (produced by Magicsticks and BlaiseBeatz) that pairs simmering percussion with some synths that sound straight out of a dingy basement. The single “2:30” also arrives with a lavish music video, which was directed by Edgar Esteves and shot in Los Angeles.

Yung Bleu is willing to “Walk Through the Fire” for his love — literally. On Thursday, the rapper released the heartstring-tugging music video for his piano-backed rap ballad featuring Ne-Yo.
The Edgar Esteves-directed video sees Ne-Yo — a detective in the video — pulling up to the scene of a house fire to see what led to the house burning down as he sings in the chorus, “And I’ll be loving you through/Every moment, every wrinkle in time/I’ll be loving you through.”

French Montana and Doja Cat throw a street brawl that’s The Warriors-meets-Terminator in the video for “Handstand,” featuring Saweetie.
Laser eyes, baseball bats wrapped in barbed wire, and Doja Cat’s machine gun bikini (watch out, Barbarella) all make for an out-there post-apocalyptic romp that sees both Doja and Saweetie asserting their dominance over the simpering men in their timelines.
The video was directed by Edgar Esteves and Jon Primo; “Handstand” comes off of Montana’s newest record, They Got Amnesia, of which Rolling Stone said: “French makes sure...

Superproducer Mike Will Made It has released a new song, “What That Speed Bout?!” boasting verses from Nicki Minaj and Youngboy Never Broke Again.
The track finds Mike Will crafting a hard-hitting rhythm section on top of which sits a bunch of squirming synths that lend the beat a hypnotic quality. Both Youngboy Never Broke Again and Minaj are in fine form, peeling off plenty of delightfully outrageous bars, with Youngboy even pulling off a clever rhyme of “Forgiato shoes” and “Blues Clues.”

Puerto Rican darlings Pedro Capó and Farruko come from two different ends of the island’s pop spectrum: on one end is Capó, a tender guitar balladeer, and on the other Farruko, an urbano player par excellence. But the two boricuas struck gold in 2018 with their remix of Capó’s “Calma” — a balmy lovers rock masterpiece gone reggaeton, the song peaked at Number 85 on the Hot 100 and Number One on the Latin Pop Songs chart.

Quavo explores forbidden romance in the new “Workin Me” video. The Migos emcee co-directed the clip with Joseph DeRosiers Jr. and Edgar Esteves.
The visual opens with Quavo shooting pool with his employer, who issues some intimidating warnings about “loyalty.” “There are three things you should know about me,” he intones, as Quavo locks eyes with his niece (played by rapper Saweetie). “One, I’m loyal to the end.
