Tyla Yaweh, Gunna, And Wiz Khalifa Want ‘All the Smoke’ In Their Rubber-Burning New Video
The three rappers stage a heist and test drive some powerful cars in the latest video from Tyla’s upcoming album. …
Tyla Yaweh’s “All The Smoke” video featuring Gunna and Wiz Khalifa is a wild, Fast-And-Furious-inspired ride that finds the three rappers trading bars at a test course and counting up their score after a well-executed heist. The clip opens with the masked rappers fleeing a bank vault in an 18-wheeler before switching scenes to the driving course, where finely-tuned racing machines burn rubber and run rings around the rappers while they perform their verses.
Yaweh, who’s in the process of rolling out his upcoming album, Rager Boy, previously worked with Wiz Khalifa in 2020 on the “High Right Now” remix from his debut mixtape Heart Full Of Rage. He kicked off the rollout for Rager Boy late last year with “Tommy Lee” featuring his mentor Post Malone, with whom he also performed at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards. Having Malone as his benefactor has helped him to increase his profile, leading to collaborations with DaBaby and Dame D.O.L.L.A. on his single “Stuntin’ On You” and its remix, respectively.
Meanwhile, Gunna and Wiz Khalifa enjoyed successful 2020s as well, with Gunna featuring on the breakout Internet Money single “Lemonade” after releasing his Wunna album and Wiz starting up a delivery-only restaurant and maintaining a steady stream of mixtapes throughout the year, including the Big Pimpin tape released on his birthday.

Alias Wayne celebrates the beauty of genuine affection on latest release “Tribute”
Alias Wayne brings the romantic message to the fore with “Tribute,” a song written to celebrate someone whose qualities deserve recognition and appreciation. The whole release is really about love and wanting the world to know how special someone is to you. It’s a simple yet significant idea, especially since the song takes an appreciation-based approach to romance rather than focusing on the thrill of attraction.
As the track progresses, the addition of shakers and hand drum adds yet another layer of rhythmic character, giving the arrangement a lively quality. What I really like is how these elements help the song move forward without detracting from its romantic message.
The lyric direction also keeps affection at the center, expressing admiration for someone’s qualities and a desire to get closer through a personal invitation to share a dance. It gives the song a warm, accessible feel. “Tribute” is a release that celebrates someone special. Alias Wayne blends a message of love with guitar, percussion, and rhythmic movement. It’s a nice treat for fans of romantic songs with a personal touch.

Séhkou unveils a beautiful connection between faith and intimacy on latest release “Song of Songs 1:3-4 (I Know)”
Romance meets spiritual expression in Séhkou’s new single, “Song of Songs 1:3-4 (I Know),” featuring Angélica Allen. The release provides a fresh take on attraction and intimacy. The song blends hip-hop with soul and R&B influences, celebrating a bond between two people who genuinely choose and cherish each other. Rather than the indecision of chasing after someone who keeps their distance, it’s about mutual affection, desire, and the reassurance of being wanted back.
I particularly appreciate the solemn flute that flows throughout the track. This gives the arrangement an interesting musical character and strengthens the connection between the romantic and spiritual themes. The rap rhythm is also noteworthy, bringing a different feel to the track, while keeping the lyrical focus front and center.
Allen’s spoken-scripture intro and outro provide an important framework for the record, connecting its expressions of intimacy to a sense of reverence. Song of Songs 1:3-4 (I Know) has something meaningful to offer listeners who appreciate music that goes beyond surface attraction to explore love. Séhkou blends hip-hop, soul, R&B, and spiritual expression thoughtfully.
