Listen: Cadillac (A Pimp's Anthem) - @VictoriaMonet

Jaguar II by Victoria Monét released on all streaming platforms today.

One of the highlights through one listen through is Cadillac (A Pimp's Anthem). Frankly, the song sounds exactly like you'd think. 

"You see us ladies in our heels. Long fur coats, hair pressed down. Rings, lots of rings, nails. It's funny how y'all don't think we be pimps too."

As she gets her slick talk off, a smooth bassline loops throughout the record. The instrumentation and arrangements throughout the album is surperb, but in between the first verse and the chorus of Cadillac, a beautiful brass and woodwind section join the fun. This is the kind of record that would make Curtis Mayfield proud or sounds like it came out of the score of Shaft or you favorite blaxploitation film. Victoria's beautiful vocal range completes the entire cypher. Listen for yourself after the break.

Watch: Spring Cleaning - @bairithesiren

2 Hold U Over dropped back in February but Bairi circles the block with a video to lead single Spring Cleaning.

Spring Cleaning has been the oldest track on the aforementioned EP but it was actually released as a single with an a capella version over a year ago. Still good to repurpose music especially something as evergreen as this. Think about it, you're going to have to clean your house. Why not have a bop to get it done? In addition to the expected visuals with a song like this, Bairi addresses the things that have been said about her as her career has progressed. Haters going to do what they do, but it doesn't go unaddressed in her home. Check out the video below.

Watch: Jet Black - @lowcollege

Coming off a quiet 2022 Joe College breathes new life into John Blaze.

As far as rollouts go for the CivXSav emcee, it's been mostly quiet but what would you expect coming off a car accident. Fast forward a year and change and Jet Black gets a visual treatment. When John Blaze dropped and you typed in Jet Black on Tiktok or the gram you got blessed with a plethora of beautiful women in asymmetrical bobs, braids, and more lip-syncing the lyrics. College starts the tune with a flow from Prodigy of Mobb Deep but more smooth than rugged this time. This one is for the ladies. Check it out after the break.
