IV4 Delivers A Melodic Performance Of Her Viral Hit ‘Swimming’ For ‘UPROXX Sessions’

The 24-year-old singer drops by Uproxx Studios to give a polished performance of her Trippie Redd-featuring breakout hit. …

24-year-old, St. Louis singer-rapper IV4 is a relative newcomer to the game, but she comes with a surprising amount of polish in her UPROXX Sessions debut, singing her new single “Swimming.” Her sing-song flow is the highlight of the song, which features Trippie Redd on the original version, as she compares falling in love to drowning and brags that she’ll even take her man’s side chick.

In her press bio, IV4 says she always knew that she was destined to sing. “I swear I came out singing,” she jokes. “I would always tell my mom and my grandma, ‘I’m going to be a super-famous singer.’ And that’s the only thing I’ve ever really wanted to do.” Since then, she’s secured viral hits with “Because of Me,” “Killah,” “Shameless,” and “Work 2 Hard,” securing Trippie Redd for “Swimming” and establishing herself as an artist that bears paying attention to.

Eddie Rose hits the sweet spot between heart and honesty on “Checked All the Boxes”

Eddie Rose

Eddie Rose’s latest release, “Checked All the Boxes,” is a modern country duet that strikes a perfect balance between self-reflection and emotional impact. From the first note, the track takes listeners to a place where emotional maturity goes beyond mere exploration and becomes a real experience. Rose builds a musical conversation with a point, with each chord and lyric advancing it in a planned way.

The story it tells is what makes this track stand out, not just its melody. “Checked All the Boxes” is a full-length movie that started as a songwriting demo. It’s well-organized, thought-provoking, and very relatable. The duet format adds more perspectives, making it more appealing to people who like songs that honestly examine how relationships work both ways.

Rose shows a quiet strength in how she handles romance in this case. It doesn’t care about grand statements or showy extras, it cares about being honest and learning how to connect with other people. The track makes people stop and think, and maybe even feel thoughtful for times when love was a choice instead of just a feeling that came and went. It is most effective when you are thinking about yourself or feeling romantic.

“Checked All the Boxes” shows that the heart of country music is best expressed in songs that combine real emotion with careful artistry. This is important in a musical world that is often full of shallow stories. Eddie Rose shows that you don’t have to yell to be heard; sometimes, the things that really matter are the ones that hit you the hardest.

MONEY MIKE SA

MONEY MIKE SA’s new single “Memories” takes listeners on a personal and broad journey of self-discovery. The track skillfully combines emotional trap elements with lyrics that prompt reflection on the artist’s growth and the experiences that have shaped him.

The first beat of Memories puts you in a reflective mood right away. The atmospheric production makes it clear and real that exposure is part of life. Money Mike SA’s delivery moves through this world with skill, mixing melodic rhythm with honest, thoughtful storytelling. It echoes, not because it’s loud, but because it’s real.

What makes Memories different is that it can be very personal and also very easy to relate to. You can feel the strength of the emotions without being told what they are. You should listen to this song more than once because each time you do, it gets more complicated.

MONEY MIKE SA’s art shows a level of sophistication that goes beyond that. Memories show that he is an artist who isn’t afraid to show his human side. He turns nostalgia and self-reflection into a touching but real experience. The song reminds us that growing up is hard, emotional, and worth looking into. It also shows that music can help us show parts of ourselves that we don’t usually show.
