Bruno Mars and Anderson.Paak formed a duo we didn’t know we needed, and now they’re back with a new single. Silk Sonic took to social media to cordially invite fans to their summer jam. Although this was a vague and cryptic announcement, it was safe to assume that they were going to release the followup to the track “Leave The Door Open”, which was released five months ago and received multiple awards. “Skate” comes almost a month after Bruno and Anderson took the stage at the 2021 BET Awards. The rapper trolled fans by teasing the new music. “Skate” will be featured on Silk Sonic’s highly anticipated album “An Evening With Silk Sonic.” There’s no tentative release date for the project, but its seemly completed since February. The pair explained to Zane Lowe that their fan favorite duo began as a jam session and snowballed from there. Listen to “Skate” below.

If there’s one thing Tory Lanez will do, it’s release new music. The Toronto artist celebrated his 29th birthday on Tuesday. He brought his next 365 days around the sun by releasing a 5-track capsule for his fans. The tape commemorates what seems like a post-quarantine/pandemic era, and it’s entitled “We Outside.” Lanez’ latest offering has one lone feature, Kodak Black. He calls on Yack on the project’s lead single “Gra Tah Tah.” The video is currently trending at No. 5 on You Tube. The project comes right after an eventful week for Tory. He blazed Funk Flex’s Hot 97 Freestyle. The rapper is known for having loaded clips when it comes to bars and he did not save any ammunition in his Hot 97 appearance. In addition, both Kodak Black and Dababy brought him out as a surprise guest during their Rolling Loud performances. While Tory’s performance on DaBaby’s Rolling Loud set was met with mixed reviews, the energy remained high. The performance came on the brink of controversy following DaBaby’s homophobic comments. Since then, online clothing brand, boohooMan have ended their collection with the “Rockstar” rapper.

And he recently released the second single from the album, the quiet storm jam “Let’s Play.” “Let’s Play” is a sensual song of a man singing to his lover, and Will wraps his smooth tenor voice around the romantic lyrics.
