FNF Chop And Stunna 4 Vegas Connect on New Visual & Single “Best Friend”
Virgina rapper FNF Chop is not slowing down anytime soon. More proof of this comes along with the release of a visual for his all-new track titled “Best Friend.” Here, he connects with North Carolina rapper Stunna 4 Vegas, to deliver non-stop, punching bars. Chop started gaining buzz when he released his single “Walk Down” in 2019. Chop, who’s most recently been co-signed by fellow Virgina royalty Pharrell, has shown consistency with each release, improving each time out since being released from jail in December of 2021. The new record, ”Best Friend,” produced by frequent collaborator Gringo, captures the high-octane energy of the fellow Southern rappers, over a hard-hitting bass instrumental and menacing hook.

Los Padres Return With Riveting Remix of R3HAB and Lucas Graham’s “Most People”
And just like that, Los Padres have returned. Following hot on the heels of a slew of official remixes, perhaps most notably their rework of R3HAB’s “Runaway” (with Sigala and JP Cooper), the ambitious Caribbean duo have executed another refreshing rework of R3HAB’s music. “Most People,” a dance-pop smash by the multi-Platinum dance music vet and featuring three-time Grammy-nominated band Lukas Graham, was their latest selection. In their bouncy future house rendition, Los Padres maintain the subtle guitar work of the original in a tip of the cap to R3HAB’s production. Then the tandem mix in a high-energy blend of elements such as warm piano chords, electrifying synths, and buzzy saws in perfect cohesion. All-in-all, it’s an anthemic, dancefloor-re...
