DaBaby Gets Emotional In His Pensive ‘Gucci Peacoat’ Video
Long live G. …
Just a few weeks ago, DaBaby was encouraging people to vote in his home state, North Carolina. Today, he’s looking back on that time with regret in the video for “Gucci Peacoat,” from his newly released EP, My Brother’s Keeper (Long Live G). Dedicated to the memory of his late brother Glenn Johnson, the EP finds DaBaby grappling with the loss of his hero figure due to a self-inflicted gunshot wound. “Gucci Peacoat” contrasts the brothers’ actions on that day; while Jonathan Kirk, aka DaBaby, was dressed to the nines and trying to change the world, he had his own world rocked by Glenn’s struggle with depression.
It’s a rough way to cap what would have otherwise been one of the best year’s of DaBaby’s life so far. While increased fame has brought increased scrutiny for the 28-year-old Charlotte native, it’s also fixed his name to the top of the Billboard charts. He’s been one of the best-selling artists throughout 2020, with his album Blame It On Baby charting for 30 weeks without leaving the top 20. The album’s single “Rockstar” delivered DaBaby his first No. 1 single and his string of feature verses for the likes of Jack Harlow and Pop Smoke accomplished the rare feat of giving him three songs in the Hot 100 top 10 — something only a handful of artists have ever done. Our hearts go out to DaBaby and his family for their loss.

Leyla Romanova finds strength in silence on new release “Self-Control”
Leyla Romanova‘s new single, “Self-Control,” is a powerful emotional release that feels more like a manifesto for surviving modern chaos than a song. In a world of opinions, urgency, and emotional exhaustion, Romanova offers a track based on one radical idea: not reacting.
“Self-Control” immediately creates tension and clarity. The drums keep everything together with discipline and purpose. As the textured instrumentals expand like waves of thought through a crowded mind, the bass anchors the listener emotionally.
The contrast between outside noise and inside stillness makes the song compelling. Romanova’s work captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by pressure, opinions, and distractions while silently retaining personal peace. There are no major uprisings. But restraint is power. The song knows energy conservation is a survival strategy.

J’mall expresses the pain of chasing someone else’s success over your own on “Unattainable”
J’mall’s latest single, “Unattainable,” expresses the pain of chasing someone else’s success over your own. The song explores the emotional void caused by constant comparison rather than motivation.
“Unattainable” is about realizing that no matter how hard one works to meet others’ expectations, the reward will never be satisfying. J’mall explores the stress of “keeping up with the Joneses” and the exhaustion of comparing yourself to standards that weren’t meant for you.
The song’s honesty resonates, the message doesn’t feel preachy or polished. It feels personal, like J’mall is sharing life lessons. The record’s quiet strength is its embrace of individuality and personal responsibility without pretending it’s easy.
