Lil Baby And Russ’ New Collab Promises Things Will Get ‘Ugly’

The two rappers joined forces for the new single after sharing albums of their own in 2020 with ‘My Turn’ and ‘Shake The Snow Globe.’ …

For the first time in their careers, Russ and Lil Baby have joined forces for a new collaboration. The track, which is entitled “Ugly,” is one Russ has been teasing for the better part of the last week. The new release is an equally triumphant and egotistic effort that finds both rappers asserting their dominance and presence in whatever space they step in.

“I don’t gotta say, ‘What’s up’ to you, I don’t gotta say, ‘Hey,’” Russ proclaims on the track. “And if you talk sh*t, then it’s up with you, and that’s where it’s gon’ stay.” As the production’s trumpets continue to blare throughout Russ’ first verse, Lil Baby sticks to the track’s display of overconfidence with 16 bars that focus on his luxury cars, jewelry, and monetary gains while he brushes off issues in his love life as a result of his infidelity.

“Ugly” also arrives with a music video that sees Russ and Lil Baby in a strip club having the time of their lives as a slew of women dance around them. The song comes after a successful 2020 for both acts. Russ shared his third album, Shake The Snow Globe which was initially a 14 track effort with help from Rick Ross, Kiana Lede, Benny The Butcher, and more before a deluxe edition with seven more songs arrived.

He also dropped his Chomp EP which found him going toe-to-toe with some of today’s best lyricists including Ab-Soul, Kxng Crooked, and Black Thought. As for Lil Baby, he had last year on lock thanks to the success of his My Turn album and “The Bigger Picture,” the latter which helped him land a pair of nominations at the upcoming Grammy awards.

“The Kids” by Animal Souls stirs timeless reverie on trust and innocence

Animal Souls

Imagine the sensation of rediscovering a script enclosed in a bottle, written decades ago, and finding its meaning both haunting and beautiful in its ambiguity. That’s why “The Kids,” the latest single from Animal Souls, feels like a reflective nostalgic treasure of lost sentiments reborn with timely relevance. Penned over three decades prior by the project’s mastermind, Michael Fisher, this song is a tender melodic tribute to the innocence of childhood and the inevitable complexity life brings. Despite the original meaning fading with time, its core message remains strikingly resonant, evoking the purity of beginnings and illustrating how life’s experiences mold our perceptions.

Musically, “The Kids” embodies a sense of gentle storytelling skillfully interwoven through a layered yet tapestry of intimate instrumentation that blends folk, rock, and orchestral influences. True to Animal Souls’ ethos, the arrangement isn’t tied to a single genre, allowing the overarching message of the song to dictate its sonic expression. Michael Fisher’s proficiency as a bassist and production expertise shines brilliantly here, creating a lush, immersive soundscape that benefits from the mastering expertise of Greg Mindorf. The collaboration with talented musicians from Fraser Valley enriches the track with warmth and authenticity, transforming it into a heartfelt dialogue rather than merely a performance.

With “The Kids,” Michael Fisher reaffirms that his late-blooming foray into a full-time musical career was meant to be. The subtle synth swells evoke a nostalgic ambiance, pulling listeners into a hazy, dreamlike recollection of their memories. The gently strummed rhythm juxtaposed with wistful melodies underscores the beauty and fragility inherent in the human experience. Don’t just listen; feel its profound emotional imprint.
