Masego Goes Looking For A ‘Mystery Lady’ With Help From Don Toliver
Masego’s new EP ‘Studying Abroad’ is due Friday, November 13. …
TrapHouseJazz pioneer Masego has been working on his Studying Abroad EP for some time and this Friday, he’s ready to release the project in full after dropping the singles “Passport” and “Silver-Tongued Devil” with Shenseea. He’s got one last teaser to share, though, in the form of his bass-heavy new single “Mystery Lady” featuring Don Toliver.
According to the press release, “Studying Abroad is a concept experience that lyrically chronicles a relationship from sultry start to its explosive finish.” He’s also planning a live stream performing songs from the EP on Tuesday, November 17 at 12 pm PT / 3 pm ET on his YouTube page. Studying Abroad is the first release from Masego since 2018’s Lady Lady, which became a favorite of critics and fans alike.
Meanwhile, the song gives Don Toliver another feature to add to his growing list of them in 2020. After foregoing an appearance on XXL’s 2020 Freshman Class cover — following in the footsteps of his Cactus Jack mentor Travis Scott — Toliver went on a tear, popping up on Nas’ “Replace Me” with Big Sean, Internet Money’s “Lemonade” with Gunna and Nav, on the “Lemonade” remix with Roddy Ricch, and on Rico Nasty’s “Don’t Like Me” with Gucci Mane.
Listen to “Mystery Lady” above.
Studying Abroad is due 11/13 on EQT Recordings / Capitol. Pre-save it here.
Don Toliver is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

MTS Management Group artists celebrates friendship with new release “A Song for My Friends”
MTS Management Group artists’ latest release, “A Song for My Friends,” is a happy, upbeat song that captures the magic of being together, celebrating, and remembering. The track has a contagious energy that is like the spirit of late-night jam sessions and sing-alongs that happen out of the blue. The production is clean and smooth, but also laid-back.
The tune of “A Song for My Friends” is a toast, and it’s clear what the band wants. A party for the people who have been there since the beginning, the fans who keep coming back, and the nights that artists will never forget that remind them why they fell in love with music in the first place.
“A Song for My Friends” stands out in a world full of overproduced singles because it has heart, energy, and honesty. It’s a moment we shared that I put in a bottle and sent to you with a chorus that you’ll be singing long after the music stops.

Michael Soul hides from being open with new release “Hiding”
Michael Soul’s new single, “Hiding,” is a dark, hypnotic electronic track that takes listeners to a private place in their minds where they are alone, thinking, and feeling upset. “Hiding” was written when the author was very lonely. Michael Soul turns days of being alone, when silence seemed to last forever, and connection seemed impossible, into an immersive sound.
Andrea Mastroiacovo’s polished work makes the single even better, clarifying and deepening the song’s dark mood. The production carefully reflects that emotional weight with simple textures and dark electronic sounds that make you feel like you’re alone with your thoughts.
“Hiding” is a song about feeling alone, scared, and wanting to hide from being open. It asks questions that are quiet but sharp, like why do we hide what we feel? How does fear ruin love? And can we stop going in circles of misunderstanding and emotional distance? These echoes linger long after the track ends, prolonging the sound.
