French Montana, Jack Harlow, And Lil Durk Throw A Post-Apocalyptic Party In The ‘Hot Boy Bling’ Video

Rappers love to channel the ‘Mad Max’ movies, and French is no exception. …

French Montana is back with a new video for “Hot Boy Bling” from the deluxe version of his Coke Boys 5 mixtape. Released in November, the tape marks French’s first full-length release since quitting drinking after being hospitalized in 2019.

The Bronx rapper is joined on “Hot Boy Bling” by two rappers in the middle of their own big breakouts, Jack Harlow and Lil Durk. While Harlow is fresh off his first Hot 100 Top 10 in “What’s Poppin” and the release of his debut album, That’s What They All Say, Lil Durk experienced a career resurgence last year, featuring on Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later,” as well as a plethora of hit singles and album cuts from seemingly every hot artist who released a record in 2020. He also capped the year with his own release, The Voice, just six months removed from Just Cause Y’all Waited 2.

The video finds the three rappers flexing in the wreckage of a structure in the desert, channeling the Mad Max films for inspiration (a favorite go-to for rappers dating back to Tupac’s “California Love”). It doesn’t look like Durk was able to make the shoot, so he’s green-screened in. The rappers are also flanked by scantily clad models, decked-out in post-apocalyptic spikes and chains.

Watch the “Hot Boy Bling” video above.

SweetCandy! reveals the truth behind new release “ISOLATED DISPOSITION”

SweetCandy! latest release of “ISOLATED DISPOSITION,” a single that doesn’t just talk but also confesses, opens up a very open space. The song was written right after a fight, and it has a lot of emotional baggage that most artists would be too scared to show. SweetCandy! doesn’t give up, it pushes all the way in.

“ISOLATED DISPOSITION” is how isolating it feels to be alone and not understood. But instead of blaming others, the story looks inward and reveals a deeper truth, being alone can often be a choice. The song gets to the point, shutting down only makes the emotional distance between us and others bigger.

There isn’t any effort to make things better or hide the pain, SweetCandy! talks openly about how hard it is to want to be understood while also keeping things that would help people understand you. A lot of people who hear it will know right away that it doesn’t make sense.

“ISOLATED DISPOSITION” seems like a turning point in the end. It shows that people are ready to be more responsible, grow, and be honest with each other in the future. SweetCandy! makes it clear that being open about your feelings isn’t a sign of weakness, it’s the way to be truly seen in a world where it can feel dangerous to do so.

Shweta Harve sings of love that stands strong like a Tree on “Have You Loved Like a Tree?”

Shweta Harve’s latest release, “Have You Loved Like a Tree?” gently prompts listeners to reflect on how we think about love today. She uses a tree as a metaphor to show that love is stable, patient, and unchanging, rather than short-lived or performative.

Harve takes listeners to a place where they can think about their own experiences and the emotional truths they share with others. At its most basic level, the song is about unconditional love, love that gives without expecting anything in return, protects without being seen, and is always there even when you don’t see it.

The lyrics say, “Just like a tree, I will never fold / I will only give, endure, and grow / I’ll hold you close, I’ll let you go,” which is the heart of the song. Harve paints love as something that endures through storms, distance, and silence, just as trees endure through changing seasons. That picture has a quiet power that stays with you long after the song is over.
