Mobile, Alabama rapper Yung Bleu is on a roll in 2020, turning his groundswell of support into a Drake feature on his viral hit “You’re Mines Still.” Bleu dropped by the Uproxx studio to deliver a passionate rendition of the original version for UPROXX Sessions. He teased the performance on Instagram before Thanksgiving and fans have been clamoring for it ever since. So, without further ado, press play on the hotly anticipated live rendition of “You’re Mines Still” above.

“You’re Mines Still” is the breakout single from his EP Love Scars: The 5 Stages Of Emotions — Yung Bleu’s third project of 2020. In April, he helped chase the quarantine blues away with the Since We Inside EP, then followed up with the third installment of his Bleu Vandross mixtape series in August. Bleu Vandross 3 truly helped expose the burgeoning star to a wider audience, thanks to features from Boosie Badazz, K Camp, and Yo Gotti, as well as his fellow Mobilian rapper, Flo Milli, who is in the midst of a breakout year as well. Keep your eyes peeled; this kid is going places.

Watch Yung Bleu sing “You’re Mines Still” above.

Amanda Fagan unveils lost love and regret on latest release “Forever Yearn”

Amanda Fagan‘s latest release, “Forever Yearn,” is a tragic love story of pride, lost opportunity, and the harrowing knowledge that some mistakes can never be undone. A young couple at heart, wild and almost in love, but whose pride prevents the relationship from flowering. Their story doesn’t end with seeing what went wrong. It hurts more because you don’t see it for years.

“It’s a song about breaking cycles, but the characters are caught in the consequences of their choices. They learn from their mistakes, but knowledge cannot change the past. What remains is the longing for each other, which gives the song its emotional weight and its title, “Forever Yearn.”

Inspired by Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, the song feels like a love story that never gets old. Fagan’s premise blends regret and longing, showing how pride can linger long after an alternative decision could have changed everything. So “Forever Yearn” is less about lost love than about two people wondering what might have been.

iLLLACAT brings sharp bars and catchy production with latest release “Like Dat”

iLLLACAT drops “Like Dat,” a Hip-Hop cut with punchy production, percussion, and synths that give the record movement. Bookie comes on the track and sets the tone immediately with the hard lines, “Get out of my face with the gas, we’re on the chase for the cash, if you’re moving fake I’ll pass, I’ll pack it, and I’ll put it in a bag.” The delivery is right there in the money, the movement, and staying away from anything fake.

The production leaves plenty of space to land those words. Percussion powers the track with synths adding another layer to the beat, a backdrop for the straight-up vocal approach. “Like Dat” maintains tight energy and, instead of overcomplicating its message, lets the verses do the work in terms of personality.

The line, “Steady making money while smoking a pain killer” provides another memorable moment and an insight into the attitude that runs throughout the record. iLLLACAT brings us “Like Dat”, a pure hip-hop joint with Bookie on the track. A catchy production that stays sharp, an assertive voice, memorable lines, and enough rhythmic punch to keep the record moving.
