Davido And Lil Baby Throw A Party That’s ‘So Crazy’ In A Video Alongside Their Rhythmic Single

The collaboration arrives on Davido’s upcoming record, ‘A Better Time.’ …

Nigerian superstar Davido is just a few days away from releasing his anticipated new album A Better Time. His 2019 effort, A Good Time, boasted appearances from cutting-edge artists like Summer Walker, Gunna, and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. Now he offers a taste of what he has in store for his impending LP, tapping Lil Baby for an extravagant video alongside their thumping collaboration “So Crazy.”

Shot in LA, the video sees him linking up with Lil Baby at a sunny poolside party fit for the biggest stars. Celebrating the spoils of success, the two get down in their flashy visual. The song itself sees Lil Baby adopting Davido’s rhythmic style while also getting personal in his verse. “Heartbreak after heartbreak, my chest done got numb / I tried my best, gave you my all, now I’m done,” he raps.

Ahead of the video’s release, Davido spoke to Uproxx about his upcoming music and how surprised Lil Baby was when he recently gave him a tour of his hometown: “When Lil Baby came to Nigeria, he was with me the whole time,” he said. “When he got there, he was confused. I picked him up in my Bentley truck, took him, drove him around, took him to where the rich people stay at, took him to where the poor people stay at, took him on a yacht, took him to the island, boathouse, all of that. He wanted to actually send me some money to invest in an apartment because he was like, damn, these people didn’t explain like, ‘Oh this is really what Africa is like.’ Media puts out like dirt roads. They don’t show like the skyscrapers. I’ll show you my house. It’s crazy. The market is growing, they even do an Afrochella.”

GMG_Grizz brings melodic rap and undeniable attitude on latest release “Something Slight”

GMG_Grizz

GMG_Grizz is here with “Something Slight,” officially released as “Something Slight Freestyle,” a rap record built on confidence, personal ambition and lyrical self-assurance. The St. Louis artist’s track, embraces the familiar brag-track approach, but gives it an interesting musical direction through its melodic rap delivery. The title itself is indicative of the mindset going into the release, showing the artist’s ability to spit dope flows and bars as just something natural, not some Herculean effort.

The flowing piano movement and the bouncing rhythm is what makes this freestyle worth revisiting. These elements make the record sound familiar but still keep the arrangement catchy and accessible. GMG_Grizz’s direction is more toward confidence and individuality, someone who is comfortable with his work ethic and the lifestyle he portrays. The melodic approach also gives the track a different personality than a straight rap performance, allowing its rhythm to carry much of the appeal.

“Something Slight” is a tantalising taste of where GMG_Grizz is heading musically. There’s room for him to explore this sound further, but the piano and rhythmic bounce provide a foundation for keeping the track interesting. A confident freestyle with a personality that you can recognise and re-play value.

François Marius pushes romantic excitement into a dancefloor celebration with “La Loco”

François Marius

François Marius arrives with a jolt of Latin Pop energy with “La Loco,” a dance-friendly track about attraction, romantic excitement and the fun madness of falling for someone. “LA Loco” is an immediate invitation to dance, with its catchy guitars, groovy bassline and spirited vocals giving it a friendly musical personality. Its approach is refreshingly simple, with the aim of having a good time rather than complicate the experience unnecessarily.

The song becomes even more interesting when Bérénice is on board, because the chemistry between the two performers is palpable. Their vocal call and response is a playful give and take, reflecting the thrill of two people being attracted to each other. It makes the romantic theme feel conversational, turning the performance into a musical chase instead of a one-sided declaration.

The acoustic elements also merge with the modern Latin beats, defining the danceable orientation of the track. “La Loco” is ultimately about enjoying the thrill that comes with attraction and letting yourself get carried away by the moment. Its constant call to swing along adds another layer of infectious energy. François Marius and Bérénice are a feel good collaboration that combines romance, rhythm and movement into an appealing Latin Pop package.
