Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion collaborate again with “Bongos”

The duo came together three years after their smash hit, “WAP,” which debuted at number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It became the first female rap collaboration to debut at the top spot. The song stayed at the number one spot for its first two weeks, which hasn’t happened since Ariana Grande’s 2019 hit, “7 Rings.”

Tinashe’s New Album, BB/ANG3L

Tinashe cut ties with RCA Records in 2019, going independent for four years until she signed with Nice Life Recording Company. During that four-year period, she released three bodies of work: Songs for You, Comfort & Joy, and 333. Her latest release BB/ANG3L has no features, a first for the California-born artist in a long time.

Oliva Rodrigo released her sophomore album, GUTS

Rodrigo’s debut album, Sour, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart and

featured singles like “Drivers License” and “Deja Vu.” Sour spent five weeks at the top spot and became the longest reigning number-one album by a female artist in 2021. She was later named Entertainer of the Year by Time magazine in 2021.

Flo Milli comes through with “Chocolate Rain”

The “Conceited” rapper released her latest single following a string of song release, including “Conceited Remix” and “Rodeo (Remix).” Her debut mixtape, titled Ho, Why Is You Here?, received critical acclaim and found itself on the Billboard 200. Rolling Stone placed the album on its “200 Greatest Hip Hop Albums of All Time” list. She later released her debut album, You Still Here, Ho?, in July 2022.

Latto and Sexyy Red hop on the remix of “Peaches & Eggplants”

The original song, featuring 21 Savage, went viral on social media. The remix features Latto and Sexyy Red, two of the most popular women in rap at the moment. Latto hopped recently with Jung Kook on “Seven” and the remix of “UNAVAILABLE” by Davido. Sexyy Red is relatively new to the game with her song “Pound Town” going viral on social media, though, her first song came out back in 2018.
