Mike Will Made-It And Nicki Minaj Reunite On The Electric ‘What That Speed Bout?!’

Mike Will Made-It and Nicki Minaj rarely miss and once again, they’ve reunited for “What That Speed Bout?!” the electric lead single to the Atlanta producer’s next album. Mike WIll released the track alongside the announcement of his new label deal with Atlantic Records and upcoming album Michael, due in 2021. The track features a typically high-energy beat with rapid-fire verses from Nicki Minaj and guest rapper Youngboy Never Broke Again. In the accompanying sci-fi video, the trio takes over a futuristic factory manufacturing androids with machines that 3D print Nicki’s head.

Mike Will Made-It’s last collab with Nicki was 2019’s “Runnin’” from the Creed II soundtrack, which also featured ASAP Mob members Ferg and Rocky. Mike also released the single “Kill ‘Em With Success” from that project, featuring Schoolboy Q, 2 Chainz, and Eearz. More recently, Mike’s been working with Swae Lee on the Tupelo rap-crooner’s next solo album, fielding over 733 demos from the high energy Rae Sremmurd member.

Nicki, meanwhile, has had a stellar year when it comes to collabs, securing her first-ever No. 1 after teaming up with Doja Cat on the “Say So” remix, went No. 1 again with the controversial Tekashi 69 song “Trollz,” and scored hits with ASAP Ferg (“Move Ya Hips“), Major Lazer (“Oh My Gawd“), and Sada Baby (“Whole Lotta Choppas“) — and potentially a surprise collaboration with erstwhile enemy Cardi B

“We Keep Walking” by Foxy Leopard explores the quiet forces that lead us toward history

Foxy Leopard

There is something unsettling about being on a journey that does not end when the destination is not assured. That tug is at the heart of Foxy Leopard’s cinematic alt-country sound on “We Keep Walking.” What looks like a simple step forward becomes a meditation on history, community, and the choices people make before they know the consequences.

The concept album Foxy Leopard released earlier tells the story of the last months before the American Civil War through the lives of common people, and the song is a turning point that takes a different turn from a typical historical song. It’s not zooming in on the war itself but on the unseen momentum building around normal families and communities.

Foxy Leopard dishes up alt-country with a cinematic edge, and “We Keep Walking” seems to be a particularly potent example of that style. This song has a forward motion that fits its theme, a driving pulse, and darker implications all the more apparent.

The vocal and production approach serves the storytelling, and there’s a control beneath the energy that makes the track’s space feel reflective, uneasy, and quietly dramatic. Foxy Leopard demonstrates how alt-country can be employed for cinematic storytelling without sacrificing its human scale. If you’re a fan of atmospheric alt-country, storytelling songwriting, and songs that find personal meaning in grand historical moments, there’s a lot to discover on “We Keep Walking.”

Lana Crow unveils a fun getaway for summer freedom on latest release “Japrisot”

Lana Crow

Lana Crow‘s latest release, “Japrisot” is a song that feels carved from sunshine, open roads, and the call of the sea. Lana Crow’s sunny summer feel here is a perfect fit. The song takes inspiration from The Lady in a Car with Glasses and a Gun, and while it has a playfully dramatic touch, its energy is squarely aimed at adventure. Right away, the attitude is set in the lyrics, “I stole your car, I bet you weren’t prepared for this. I am driving off. To the sea, to the joy you can never know. It’s cheeky, it’s bold, it’s just right for the song’s freewheeling summer vibe.

“Japrisot” musically has the feel of a classic pop tune, with a bass line that serves as an especially enjoyable foundation for the guitar. Lana’s vocal texture is another appealing element, her breath control and warmth are cool, giving the song a playful drama without overwhelming its breeziness.

Lana Crow keeps the track moving with lyrics about speed, excitement, and the rush of taking control, the feeling of movement goes on. I’m driving fast, the rush of hitting the gas, it feels so hot, it makes me feel like a badass, this is what I call freedom. The song doesn’t just talk about a sunny day, it gives the heat, the road, and the sea something bigger, something that’s part of an escape.
