DaBaby Responds To News Of Brother’s Death With “INTRO” Lyrics

Americans are glued to television, computer, and cellphone screens today (November 3) as election day has finally arrived, but it’s been a somber time for DaBaby. It was announced earlier today that the rapper’s older brother, Glen Johnson, took his own life. A report by TMZ stated that Johnson uploaded a video of himself “upset and distraught.” In the video, Johnson was reportedly seen sitting in a vehicle with a firearm and later, he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

Condolences and words of encouragement have poured in for DaBaby and his family since the tragic news was announced. The rapper recently posted photos of himself out in the community as he spread awareness about the importance of voting, but after the news of his brother’s’ death was shared, DaBaby returned with his own song lyrics to express his grief.

My brother be thinkin’ that we don’t love him and let him struggle like we ain’t family,” DaBaby raps on his Kirk track “INTRO.” “Like I won’t give up all I got to see you happy, n*gga.”

“I would’ve gave up all I had to see you happy n*gga,” DaBaby added to the text with a black heart emoji. We continue to send our condolences to DaBaby and his loved ones during this difficult time.

Billy Chuck Da Goat finds his flow on new release “Vibez”

Goat

Billy Chuck Da Goat’s latest release, “Vibez,” has a laid-back, hypnotic bounce that makes it easy to listen to without ever feeling empty. It makes a place where calmness and quiet confidence come together.

“Vibez” was made on purpose, but it also sounds simple. Billy Chuck’s smooth delivery flows through the production without rushing or pushing anything. Instead, he lets the rhythm breathe, allowing people to get into the song at their own pace. This laid-back energy is the best part of the song, nothing feels forced, which is exactly what it’s trying to do.

The track changes to fit whatever you need it for, like a late-night drive, a focused workout, or a way to unwind after a long day. It has a quiet edge of confidence, it’s not loud or bragging, but it’s steady and sure of itself.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
