Lil Durk And King Von Are ‘Still Trappin’ In Their Dark New Video

Durk released his latest album, ‘The Voice,’ on Christmas Eve after pushing it back when his friend and protege Von was killed. …

Lil Durk’s latest single from his new album The Voice, “Still Trappin’,” helps keep Durk’s artist King Von‘s voice in the conversation as the two Chicago rappers trade verses full of threats and boasts. In the video, which Durk released today, Durk and his OTF crew invite some dancers to the studio, showering them with currency. Although the late Von couldn’t be in the video, Durk pays homage to him with a massive portrait of Von airbrushed onto the back of Durk’s custom jacket.

The Voice arrived on Christmas Eve after the rapper spent several months teasing the project and pushing it back in the wake of Von’s death in Atlanta. In the meantime, he kept the buzz going through a series of standout guest appearances with the likes of Bia on her “Same Hands” single and Queen Naija in the flirtatious “Lie To Me.” When Durk did promote The Voice, it was with singles “Backdoor” and “Stay Down,” for which he also released a fan-focused lyric video yesterday.

2020 was a breakout year for Von. Despite releasing music commercially since the Chicago drill outbreak of 2012, last year saw his biggest increase in popularity thanks to the release of his album, Just Cause Y’all Waited 2, and a flurry of high-profile feature verses, including one on Drake’s comeback single “Laugh Now Cry Later.”

Brannen captures life’s fleeting moments on “Keep Dancing With Me”

Moments can be short and to the point, and that’s the idea behind Brannen’s “Keep Dancing With Me,“ a melodic house track that’s more about feeling than function. The track is reflective and dancefloor-ready, and it’s about living in the moment and holding onto the things that make life worth living.

Brannen uses the uplifting qualities of house to create a sense of warmth and connection. The lively, uplifting instrumental firmly puts “Keep Dancing With Me“ in the melodic house category while also exploring the deeper, more emotional side of dance music. That balance has enough energy to get you moving, but the overall direction stays rooted in feeling and atmosphere.

A strong studio team is also on board, with sound engineer Brian Hurren handling recording and Jack Wiles handling mixing and mastering at Moonshift Audio. Built on emotive vocal performance, the track lends human emotion to the slick electronic soundscape. The vocals complement the song’s main message without detracting from its instrumental nature.

“Keep Dancing With Me” positions Brannen as an artist interested in the connection between dance music and real emotion. The uplifting sound, expressive vocal presence, and focus on fleeting but meaningful experiences give the release clear artistic direction. The best thing about the track is that it treats dancing as a way of staying in a moment before it’s gone.

Lisa Jo brings high-energy rap attitude with latest release “Exotic”

Lisa Jo steps up to the plate with a hard-hitting rap single titled “Exotic”. Catchy, melodic bounce, high-octane energy, and a flow that gets stuck in your head. It has the swagger of a car stereo or club anthem, giving it a sense of motion right away. If you’re a head who likes their hip-hop served up with lots of energy, “Exotic” runs the gamut from the cinematic bass line to the infectious delivery.

The song is strong in how the elements mix. The melody’s bounce keeps the track alive and memorable, and Lisa Jo’s razor-sharp lyricism gives her rap style a targeted edge. Exotic is not background music; it’s something that needs to be heard, loud from speakers working out, loud in a club, loud on a drive.

“Exotic” is a classic, high-energy hip-hop track with an infectious flow, bass, and bounce. But Lisa Jo’s no-nonsense, energetic presence feels like it belongs on workout, new-wave rap, and party playlists. It’s a release that keeps the energy going from first beat to last.
