Swae Lee Takes A ‘Krabby Step’ In The Underwater World With Lil Mosey And Tyga On Their New Single

The trio brings their talents together for the fun and light-hearted track that will appear in an upcoming ‘Spongebob’ film. …

Swae Lee has been hard at work on his upcoming solo album as well as Rae Sremmurd’s Sremmlife 4 release. The “No Flex Zone” rapper has graced fans with a number of singles throughout the year and now, he returns with yet another 2020 single. Linking up with Tyga and Lil Mosey, the three rappers lays some melodic bars down over a familiar tune from the Spongebob Squarepants cartoon series for their “Krabby Step” collaboration. The track is filled with references to the children’s show and is a complete contrast from the rappers’ choice of content from their previous releases. “Krabby Step” is also slated to appear in the upcoming The Spongebob Movie: Sponge On The Run film, which will premiere in the United States at some point in 2021.

The track joins Swae Lee’s previous 2020 single which includes “Dance Like No One’s Watching” and “Reality Check.” In a recent interview with Uproxx, Swae Lee spoke on the upcoming Sremmlife 4 album and said fans can expect it to arrive next year. “I don’t even like this year,” he said. “I might wait ‘till 2021 to even drop the project, but I’ve just been giving them singles and features. We definitely just keeping the music in the atmosphere.”

Earlier this year, Lil Mosey shared a deluxe re-issue of his Certified Hitmaker album. The new release included his bubbling hit song, “Blueberry Fargo” and his bouncy single with Lil Baby, “Back At It.” On the other hand, Tyga has spent his 2020 sharing singles which include “Money Mouf” with Saweetie and YG and his Black Eyed Peas-sampling effort with Megan Thee Stallion, “Freak.”

Ellis B. unveils an effortless groove on latest release “So Smooth”

Ellis B. tripped out on So Smooth with a groove for dancing, smoking, and just vibing. It’s a record built like a hip-hop song, but with a chill, driven feel, catchy lyrics paired with an experienced perspective. From the opening attitude to the people it talks to, the song feels like one for hustlers and smokers looking for something with an easygoing edge.

The lyrics bring that perspective to the fore, “This is for the hustlers, This is for the smokers too, This is so smooth.” It’s confidently simple, and the groove moves the track forward, without pushing the moment. Ellis B. also goes introspective, rapping about growth and perseverance: “I pray my blessings renew, making smooth shit like this is what I’m destined to do.”

That feeling of experience continues with the reflection, “I learn my lessons from losing, but that remains to be proven.” Underneath its chill surface, it builds on the chillness of “So Smooth.” It connects the song’s chill with a resolve to keep moving forward. Ellis B has a title track that fits the bill, with groove, confidence, experience, and an easy sense of movement.

Murph Law puts survival behind the hustle on latest release “Do It For The Money”

Murph Law has released “Do It For The Money,” a hard-hitting track about sacrifice, ambition, and the reality of chasing success when broke is not an option. The track features on his upcoming album, MONOLITH. It connects the daily grind to bigger themes, serving as a reaction against oppressive systems and establishments that can hold people back from reaching their potential.

The boom bap drums and aggressive rock guitar emphasize the message. That mix feeds the hunger that runs through the song, the kind that hits home with late nites and long shifts and the hard work of trying to build something real. This is the soundtrack for the everyday hustler; it’s about the practical realities behind dreams, not success as a breeze.

“Do It For The Money” distinguishes chasing money from chasing a better life. It is survival mode, the knowledge that you require the means to chase your dreams. With MONOLITH on the horizon, Murph Law uses this record to showcase the pressure, drive, and sacrifice of the hustle, creating a track built for anyone looking to build a path forward.
