Playboi Carti And Kid Cudi Rap In The Dark In The ‘M3tamorphosis’ Video
The Lonely Stoner joins Playboi for the darkly-lit, red-tinged clip. …
Ever since Playboi Carti announced that his long-awaited project Whole Lotta Red would be coming out on Christmas Day, fans have been up in arms over whether or not the album would drop, and who else would be involved. Well, it’s officially here – all 24 tracks — and one of the biggest guests here is Kid Cudi, who is off a big surprise release of his own. Man On The Moon III: The Chosen dropped earlier this month, and now Cudi is here to back up Carit on their collaboration “M3tamorphosis.”
Though the darkly-lit, red-tinged video is still high energy, COVID-19 precautions have pretty clearly impacted production. The primary focus of the clip is just centered on Playboi and Kid Cudi hanging out in a massive truck, and rapping in and around the vehicle. Cudi is decidedly rapping here, not just singing, as he recently mentioned that Travis Scott helped him get back in touch with bars in his own work.

E.G. Phillips unveils where silence speaks the loudest on new release “Empathy for the Night Fly”
The mood of E.G. PHILLIPS’s “Empathy for the Night Fly” is instantly cinematic, dark, introspective, and frozen in time. The track sounds like a scene from a late-night club where everything slows down just enough for feelings to come out. The arrangement is jazz-like in that it lets each part breathe. The arpeggiating Rhodes piano comes and goes, giving the impression that the music is thinking, as if it’s moving.
The song is really about recognition, which is when you hear something in someone else’s voice that reminds you of your own experience. It’s subtle, almost fragile, but it has a big effect on people. That emotional connection is what holds the piece together.
That choice seems deliberate, even defiant. It asks the listener to pay attention differently, not just passively. Every break is a part of the story. E.G. Phillips doesn’t just make the mood; he keeps it going. In that space, “Empathy for the Night Fly” becomes a quiet, powerful look at memory, connection, and shared feelings.

Samantha Davis turns heartbreak into power for the last time with new release “The Last Time”
Samantha Davis turned her emotional exhaustion and personal strength into “The Last Time,” a relatable song about breaking a toxic cycle. Frustration, heartbreak, and hard-won clarity fuel the single, which captures that difficult but empowering moment when kindness isn’t seen as weakness.
“The Last Time” is about regaining emotional control. The song’s painfully honest message is that love and patience can only go so far in unhealthy situations. Samantha Davis conveys that emotional weight so honestly that it feels genuine.
The line, “You took my kindness for weakness,” sets the emotional tone of the record. It’s raw, vulnerable, and powerful. After too many chances, the song becomes a final conversation. Not only is there sadness, but also resolve. The song beautifully supports that emotional journey. It’s intense enough to convey heartbreak but also allow for reflection and release.
