4batz Hits a High Note, Lands Lucrative Deal with OVO Sound After Drake Remix
4batz is hitting all the right notes. Following the recent drop of his remixed single “act ii: date @ 8” featuring Drake, the artist has just inked a major deal with Drake’s OVO, as confirmed by Billboard. This collaboration between 4batz and OVO not only marks a significant milestone in the young artist’s career but also promises an exciting fusion of two industry powerhouses.
The Billboard report reveals that the agreement is a tailored licensing deal for an EP, hinting at potential future collaborations and expansions. 4batz’s journey with OVO comes at a pivotal moment, aligning with OVO’s strategic collaboration with Todd Moscowitz’s Santa Anna Label Group under the Sony Music umbrella. This strategic move is set to amplify the distribution and marketing of OVO releases, including 4batz’s eagerly anticipated EP.
Since the initial release of “act ii: date @ 8,” 4batz has become a hot commodity, attracting interest from multiple labels eager to sign him. Originally dropped through Vydia, the track’s success captured the attention of big names like Drake, who jumped on a remix, catapulting its popularity even further. As fans await the release of 4batz’s EP, the partnership with OVO adds an extra layer of excitement, promising a musical journey that transcends boundaries.
In an exclusive interview with Billboard, 4batz shared the inspiration behind his viral track, describing it as a creation tailored for the female audience. He voiced his disapproval of the prevalent toxicity in contemporary R&B, emphasizing his commitment to values of respect and chivalry towards women—a refreshing perspective in an industry often marred by superficiality.
What sets 4batz apart is not just his musical talent but his dedication to authenticity and sincerity. In an industry filled with gimmicks, he stays true to his roots, creating music that not only entertains but also forges a genuine connection with listeners. As 4batz and OVO embark on this exciting collaboration, the music world eagerly anticipates the magic that will undoubtedly emerge from this dynamic partnership.

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”
“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.
“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.
Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”
It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.
