Power 106’s L.A Leakers studio has been bringing all the heat when people stop by to perform freestyles as per usual. Within the last few months, hot names have appeared such as J. Cole, Big Sean and Vince Staples, with Latto being the latest to gain traction through their wordplay. The Clayco artist breaks the fourth wall during her freestyle:
Her sophomore album is reportedly being edited as she puts the finishing touches on it. The year has already been filled with great solo singles from Big Latto, including the latest “Big Energy” and “Stank” record may well be the most infectious one yet. Additionally, Latto can be heard with Lil Durk and Don Toliver on the official soundtrack to F9 The Fast Saga, and she has collaborated with Future, and Chris Brown on the remix of Breezy’s summer jam, “Go Crazy.”
She released her debut Queen of da Souf album last year. It features 13 tracks in total, with features from Saweetie,Gucci Mane, 21 Savage, City Girls, Trina among others. Lil Baby is the only addition to the original project. Its success was primarily attributed to the singles “B*tch From Da Souf” alongside Trina and Saweetie, “Muwop” with Gucci Mane. After that, she started contributing to dope collabs like Jacquees’ “Freaky As Me.”
Next May, Craig David will release his eighth studio album, 22. Craig David announced the news via social media last week. Additionally, he will conduct an arena tour to promote the release a month before it arrives.
As part of that announcement, David revealed his new single, “Who You Are,” a collaboration with MNEK produced by Digital Farm Animals, in which the two artists sing about our ability to express our true selves:
The release of 22 follows David’s 2018 album The Time Is Now. The original edition of The Time Is Now featured 12 tracks and contributions from Bastille, JP Cooper, and AJ Tracey and GoldLink. A deluxe version was later released with Ella Mai and Chase & Status providing additional contributions. The soundtrack to the film reached number two on the UK Official Albums chart, just ahead of the soundtrack to the greatest showman. The same year, MNEK’s officially debut EP Language was released, a critically acclaimed effort that included a guest appearance by Hailee Steinfeld.
You can watch the “Who You Are” lyric video below, where different people from all walks of life can be seen through a wall of TVs. In addition, they perform “Who You Are” live on BBC’s “Strictly Come Dancing” during their amazing routine with Neil Jones and Dianne Buswell.

KSI earned a Silver certification for the project in addition to charting on the Billboard 200 as well as topping the UK Official Albums chart with about 34,000 equivalent first week album sales.
Last week, the British artist released a new video with Chicago sensation Lil Durk for “No Time,” his duet with All Over The Place. Under the direction of Mally Mall, S-X, Diego Ave, and Chambers the melodic composition shows the artists discussing their hectic lifestyles brought on by fame and fortune:
A visual for this song has been produced by KDC Visions, an animation company that has produced memorable visuals for Trippie Redd, Juice WRLD, and more. With this video, KSI is initially at his desk (similar to the artwork for All Over The Place) before a mysterious watch with an eye begins to zap him to other worlds and dimensions. A briefcase containing three planets can be seen on Durk’s back as he rides throughout the city. In the meantime, KSI is brought back to his room, where he continues to work.
