Yesterday’s Super Bowl LVI halftime show was centered around hip-hop, with performances from Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, 50 Cent and Mary J. Blige. Now, another rapper is paying tribute to the big game. NBA YoungBoy has released a new single called “SuperBowl,” using the event as a metaphor for the love he feels for a woman. He drops bars on how he “should buy a wedding ring” and that despite tough times, she’s able to withstand it “like a soldier.” “Having you make me feel like I won the Super Bowl,” he raps. The new track arrives less than a month after the Baton Rouge rapper’s Colors mixtape. In the description of the song on YouTube, he hinted that more music, and perhaps a full-length project, will be in fans’ hands sometime soon. “I’m stalling into the album (get rea...

Dehd have also released the lead single “Bad Love” alongside a music video co-directed by vocalist Emily Kempf and Kevin Veselka. Check that out below. “‘Bad Love’ is about recovering from love addiction and making a decision to stop choosing and aligning with people who aren’t your energetic match,” said Kempf in a statement. “I wrote it for myself and for everyone who needed to hear a song about choosing new forms of love. It’s about chasing a relationship with oneself rather than an unhealthy one, one that just doesn’t quite fit, or a codependent one.” Blue Skies follows Dehd’s 2020 sophomore LP Flower of Devotion.
