Singles are front and center at this week’s new music Friday, with one-off releases from Karol G, Lil Baby, and a team-up track between Megan Thee Stallion and Reneé Rapp.
Karol G gives 2023 one final kiss-off with the newly released “Que Chimba De Vida.” The track starts off unsuspectingly with guitar licks before fully delving into Mexican music inspired production, proving that her upbeat energy — exhibited in Mañana Será Bonito and its follow up Bichota Season — will continue to flourish well into 2024 (though unclear where the track will live in relation to her previous releases).
Lil Baby comes in hot with not one, but two new tracks, “Crazy” and “305.” “Crazy” sees the rapper employing a crooning flow to discuss self doubt and lapses in confidence, while “350” goes for the introspective — the tracks hint at a possible release for 2024, that is, if fans are lucky.
Megan Thee Stallion and Renee Rapp tickled fans pink after dropping Mean Girls movie musical soundtrack single, “Not My Fault.” Opening up with Lindsay Lohan’s now-iconic line “It’s not my fault you’re like, in love with me, or something!,” the track’s lyrics are from Regina George’s point of view and as such, boasts rhymes ripe for your next social media post (see: Megan’s witty line, “I run s–t, to be a bad b–ch is a sport!”)
Nicki Minaj also continued her Pink Friday 2 rollout by releasing the deluxe edition of the album, Pink Friday 2 (Gag City Deluxe), also on Friday, but which release is your favorite? Vote — or enter in your own selection — in Billboard‘s poll below.
