  • Watch New Jersey artists MoRuf and SZA reminisce about time spent in her mama’s ‘PT Cruiser’

    MoRuf’s children and his wife make a cameo in the video.

    MoRuf - PT Cruiser featuring SZA

    Three weeks ago, MoRuf, one of our favourite artists ever, released the official music video for his latest track, entitled ‘PT Cruiser’, featuring longtime friend and fellow Jerseyan SZA. Throughout the good-feeling nostalgic track, the friends reminisce about the time they shared in high school, even though she didn’t know him for a long time. It also doubles as a song about falling in love as a child.

    According to Wikipedia, MoRuf “sings about spending time with a former love interest in the backseat of her mother’s PT Cruiser, and SZA references her high school pastime of improvising car freestyles with Moruf on her mother’s driveway.”

    In terms of their friendship, they’ve known one another for over a decade, and the multiple GRAMMY-winning superstar credits him as the person who motivated her to start making music when she was in high school, stating on an Instagram post, “Without our car freestyles in my mom’s driveway there’d be no me !”


    Check out the song produced by Jesse Boykins III, Nate Bajar, MeLo-X, Aspene Taylor, and Matt Cody. The official music video was directed by Joshua Kissi, a celebrated Ghanaian-American photographer and filmmaker. It is approaching one million views (currently at 949,000), and his forthcoming album ‘Moolodic: Hotep Luxury’ is out today. It was executive produced by Jessie Boykins, art direction and cover art by Joshua Kissi, and mixed and mastered by Matt Cody.

  • Watch Ty Dolla $ign’s dreamlike achromatic music video for ‘Wit It’ featuring Chlöe

    At the beginning of R&B star entertainer Ty Dolla Sign’s video for ‘Wit It’ featuring fellow star singer-songwriter and producer Chlöe, there’s a symbolic narration detailing the meaning of the word “tycoon” and how “the world twisted it like all beautiful things”. Instead of leading lives of integrity as the rest of the world might hope, the elite groups of people mentioned seem to “carve laws to suit their sins and erase guilt with money thick as blood.”

    As these men in suits see a magazine page featuring a faceless and topless woman, the Ye collaborator sits at their table. Is he one of them? You’ll have to watch the black-and-white treatment with random animals, champagne, firearms, and pole dancing to throw your vote in the bucket.

    It isn’t quite at one million views yet, but we believe it will eventually cross that line. It was released two weeks ago.


  • Hoodrich Pablo Juan’s ‘First Day Out’ music video hits YouTube’s Music Trending Chart

    Hoodrich Pablo Juan was released from prison on October 19, 2025, according to Wikipedia.

    Six days ago, Atlanta-based star rapper Hoodrich Pablo Juan, who was signed to Gucci Mane’s 1017 Eskimo and arrested in 2020 and sentenced to five years in prison connected to RICO charges, released a brand new video for his track ‘First Day Out’. It captures the moment he leaves the Georgia Department of Corrections as a free man, shops for new outfits and designer accessories, and counts thousands of dollars in cash in the back of a Maybach. Emitting his classic flow over a catchy trap beat produced by DJ Champ, he reminds us that he’s fly, handsome, and that he’s a player like (NBA) 2K, as he heads to the strip club. Aside from cameos made by Lil Baby and BlocBoy JB, the ‘Zambamafoo’ rapper shouts out to Young Scooter, who passed away on his 39th birthday, viewers get to see glimpses of Atlanta nightlife.

    The Seen Marcell-directed music video is currently #8 on YouTube’s Music Trending Chart, with over one million views and counting.

  • Jorja Smith’s ‘The Way I Love’ lyrics

    Read the lyrics to English singer-songwriter Jorja Smith’s new track ‘The Way I Love’ in English. It’s about acts of service.

    [Chorus]
    I don’t wanna be without your love
    I don’t wanna be without your trust
    I don’t wanna leave before I tell you I’m the only one that loves you
    How you gonna live without my love?
    You don’t wanna see the end in us
    Don’t you know that I could never love somebody else the way I love you?
    No, no

    [Verse 1]
    What do you see when you look at me?
    How do you feel when you’re touching my body?
    It’s not as deep as it’s meant to be
    Where do we go from here?
    What do you do when I’m outside?
    How do you feel? Are you missing me, baby?
    I know you don’t tell me everything (I, I)
    But whеre do we go from herе? (I, I)

    [Pre-Chorus]
    I don’t wanna be without your—
    Way I love you, way I love you, love you
    Way I love you, way I love you, love you
    Way I love you, way I love you (My)
    Way I love you, love you (My body)
    Way I love you, way I love you, love you
    Way I love you, way I love you, love you
    Way I love you (My), way I love you (My, my)
    Way I love you (My)

    [Chorus]
    I don’t wanna be without your love
    I don’t wanna be without your trust
    I don’t wanna leave before I tell you I’m the only one that loves you
    How you gonna live without my love?
    You don’t wanna see the end in us
    Don’t you know that I could never love somebody else the way I love you?

    [Verse 2]
    Why’d you pretend you’re not into me?
    We both know the truth, why we holding back, baby?
    Is this as deep as it’s meant to be?
    I don’t want to believe
    I’m just as confused about you and me
    We both said before we don’t want to be something
    What a fantasy (I, I)
    This love could set me free (I, I)

    [Chorus]
    I don’t wanna be without your love
    I don’t wanna be without your trust
    I don’t wanna leave before I tell you I’m the only one that loves you (I, I)
    How you gonna live without my love? (I, I)
    You don’t wanna see the end in us
    Don’t you know that I could never love somebody else the way I love you?

    [Outro]
    I don’t wanna be without your—
    Way I love you, way I love you, love you
    Way I love you, way I love you, love you
    Way I love you, way I love you (My)
    Way I love you, love you (My body)
    Way I love you, way I love you, love you
    Way I love you, way I love you, love you
    Way I love you, way I love you (My)
    Way I love you
    I don’t wanna be without your—

  • English star Jorja Smith shares acoustic visual for ‘The Way I Love You’: Watch

    “This love could set me free”

    Jorja Smith - The Way I Love You

    Two days ago, Walsall-native singer-songwriter Jorja Smith released the official acoustic music video for her latest record, ‘The Way I Love You’. With this heartfelt release, the Burna Boy collaborator takes time to sing about wanting to hold onto her partner’s love and trust, although she’s experienced confusion and a period when he behaved as if he didn’t like her. Within the musical composition, she wonders how he would continue to live without her love when she’s the only one who loves him, and he doesn’t want to see their relationship come to an end.

    “What do you see when you look at me?
    How do you feel when you’re touching my body?
    It’s not as deep as it’s meant to be
    Where do we go from here?
    What do you do when I’m outside?
    How do you feel? Are you missing me, baby?
    I know you don’t tell me everything (I, I)
    But whеre do we go from herе? (I, I)”

    Regardless, the pair seems to be on the brink of separation, so Smith asks the difficult questions with hopes of getting answers.

    “Why’d you pretend you’re not into me?
    We both know the truth, why we holding back, baby?
    Is this as deep as it’s meant to be?
    I don’t want to believe
    I’m just as confused about you and me
    We both said before we don’t want to be something
    What a fantasy (I, I)
    This love could set me free (I, I)”

    Watch the music video for the acoustic version above. It is produced by Ed Thomas, Maverick Sabre, and Shayk.

  • Watch Jacksonville rapper Dumar 1K’s official visual for ‘Kutt Water’

    In the short visual for ‘Kutt Water’, Jacksonville, Florida rising star rapper Dumar 1K starts his morning off visually alongside a young woman in a split-screen treatment. The pair seems to relish cold beverages taken from separate refrigerators, and soon after, they put on VR glasses to enter another dimension where shorts and flesh dominate. In the song, the Real Boston Richey collaborator (’L’s and P’s’) talks about an attractive woman, who doesn’t share her body with others—a feat that appears to be a lost art. Based on Dumar 1K’s tumultuous upbringing in one of America’s most dangerous cities in recent times (but no longer is), it is a delight to see him in a jovial state as “he crafts a sound defined by aspirational storytelling and luxury-laced realism”, according to the Media & Public Relations representative at Epic Records.

    As described by his representative,

    “In 2024, he signed to Epic Records and Against Da Grain, marking a milestone year highlighted by his single ‘Penny Pincher’—which later earned a star-studded remix featuring G Herbo, Luh Tyler, and BLP Kosher. With collaborations alongside Real Boston Richey and Young Scooter, Dumar 1K continues to plant his flag as a bold new voice of Florida’s Hip-Hop wave, embodying his own mantra: “Blessed and highly flavoured.”

    Check out the official music video directed by Supadope below. It’s a Bounce music song made for the highly confident people worldwide.

    Yesterday, R&B star Miguel shared his latest music video, ‘Rip’, taken from his brand-new twelve-track album, ‘Caos’.

  • Watch Ice Spice’s model-friendly music video for MIA-sampled ‘Baddie Baddie’

    Three days ago, Bronx-bred star rapper Ice Spice put out the official music video for her latest single, ‘Baddie Baddie’, which samples MIA’s larger-than-life record, ‘Bad Girls’, a song released thirteen years ago with over 200 million views on YouTube (Noisey’s upload of 145 million and 72 million from MIA’s official VEVO channel). On the track, the ‘Munch’ rapper takes aim at a man who was “begging to hit” and doesn’t really want her for who she is, but he sees her lifestyle as something to take advantage of if she lets him. In the next line, she mentions a fellow female rapper who might be inspired by her come-up and wants to be like her, but isn’t doing it well. Ice Spice doesn’t mention anyone by name, but the internet seems to think Stunna Sandy, who also wears tight curls, is the one.

    Watch the NYFW-centric music video, which documents some of the moments during the festivities and shows her relationship with South Sudanese-American supermodel/visual artist Anok Yai. Sunisa Lee and Bb Trickz also make cameos.

    [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGzKA3aROGE&h=315]

    According to Ice Spice, someone purchased fake views for the music video, which now has over seven million views since its release on October 15. The music video is currently at #12 on YouTube’s Music Trending Chart.

    One comment under the music video says from a fan account says, “@parmik99 from 1 to 5 milliom in 37 minutes and 0 new comments.Dear Spice, don’ embaress yourself with bots”.

    Another fan @rick_bars, wrote, “Ice Spice is not Botting Door Dash is running ads on the video but, the ads team is not great lol. So it looks like this.”, a seemingly supportive comment.


    Before this release, Ice Spice collaborated with her former rival and fellow rapper Latto, called ‘Gyatt’, and later appeared on Kai Cenat’s popular Twitch account with over nineteen million followers.

  • Watch R&B star Miguel display Mexican pride in official video for ‘New Martyrs (Ride 4 U)’

    A day ago, multiplatinum-selling American R&B singer-songwriter Miguel released the official music video for his latest single, ‘New Martyrs (Ride 4 U)’. In the wholesome visual, he drives a few friends around as they listen to his music, and his friends wave Mexican flags out of the windows, which appears to be an homage to his Mexican father and their culture. In the next scene, things get more serious as he rides out with fellow press agents towards New Mexico from Oklahoma. Next, the ‘Strawberry Amazing’ crooner takes on the role of a getaway driver for what appears to be a robbery/theft. Before it all ends, the directors (the artist and his son’s mother, Margaret Zhang, also credited as the creative director) show the ‘Sure Thing’ singer and his team leaving the van, heading towards the danger. A bomb detonates, and the scene ends.

    [youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNB5uDfG8W8&h=315]

    It is taken from his forthcoming album, entitled ‘Caos’, set to release on October 23 (Miguel’s 40th birthday).
