Sexyy Red Shares 14-Song 'In Sexyy We Trust' Feat. Drake, Lil Baby & More

Sexyy Red turns up the heat with In Sexyy We Trust, her new mixtape, out now via Rebel/gamma. Filled with engaging anthems that showcase her raw lyrics and chantable choruses, the new mixtape furthers the St. Louis native's mission to #MakeAmericaSexyyAgain. The official follow-up to her acclaimed 2023 mixtape Hood Hottest Princess, the new mixtape spans 14 tracks, including her Billboard Top 20-charting hit "Get It Sexyy."

Executive produced by Tay Keith and Drumatized, In Sexyy We Trust brings the brash attitude and unprintable quotables that helped her become the biggest rising star in rap music. Among the new mixtape's highlights is "U My Everything," Sexyy's latest duet with Drake, properly following their viral smash hit "Rich Baby Daddy."

The tape rekindles Sexyy's fruitful creative partnership with Tay Keith (who produced "SkeeYee, "Pound Town," and "Get It Sexyy"), resulting in new highlights like the titanic banger "Ova Bad," "Awesome Jawsome," an explicit ode to dreadheads ,and the chant-able anthem "TTG (Go)." Elsewhere, Sexyy connects with Mike WiLL Made-It on the minimalist, uptempo, bass-influenced banger "Outside," performs a sensual back-and-forth with Lil Baby on "Lick Me," and delivers a driving midwest heater in the form of "Sexyy Love Money" ft. VonOff1700.

In Sexyy We Trust continues Sexyy's unbeatable hot streak, one achieved with hard work and a fierce sense of self. After selling 70,000 tickets in 2023, reaching her highest Hot 100 peaks yet in 2024, and earning five BET Awards 2024 nominations just last week, there's no limit to how high she can fly. Get it, Sexyy!

Sexyy Red's BET Awards 2024 nominations: BEST FEMALE HIP HOP ARTIST BEST NEW ARTIST BEST COLLABORATION ("Rich Baby Daddy," Drake, SZA & Sexyy Red) VIDEO OF THE YEAR ("Rich Baby Daddy," Drake, SZA & Sexyy Red) VIEWER’S CHOICE AWARD ("Rich Baby Daddy," Drake, SZA & Sexyy Red)

Well that's St Louis and that's Barack Obama there in the lower right, speaking at the dais -- but other than that, Trump is doing amazingly well in the Bronx! 🤦‍♀️ Just as Melania had to plagiarize from Michelle Obama, Trumpers try to steal Barack's crowd. SO pathetic! Trump had a decent crowd- but decent isn't good enough for these delusional clowns. why settle for decent when you can lie your way into great! Trump also tried to "appeal to black voters" by inviting rappers currently accused of murder to appear with him. no community organizers or actual leaders, because He thinks that all black people do is get indicted and kill folks.

His supporters try to fool everyone with pictures of other peoples events. They are stupid enough to think we believe it.

a collection of updates,

My mood has lifted since the snowstorm ended on Tuesday afternoon :)

Megan Thee Stallion is kicking off her Hot Girl Summer tour in Minneapolis on May 14 and I will be there!! My first concert! Concerts are not normally something that appeal to me, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to see one of my favorite rappers.

I've been listening to a lot of Latto at the gym lately and enjoying her music. I want to try City Girls and GloRilla soon, especially because GloRilla is opening for MTS.

I got back to the gym for leg day on Tuesday and returned to my usual routine of split squats, squats, deadlifts, single-leg deadlifts, and weighted step-ups. It was my first time training legs after 2 weeks off between Japan and St. Louis, so I dropped all my weights down by 10-20 pounds, trying to avoid too much post-workout soreness. It didn't work. I've been staggering around barely able to walk due to sore quads and hamstrings since Wednesday morning. :(

I finally finished my beloved Jade Legacy by Fonda Lee. I definitely recommend this series. I'm now listening to The Book of Doors, by Gareth Brown, and enjoying the original plot, the characters, and the prose. I'm also reading Kal Penn's memoir, You Can't Be Serious, and I'm loving it. I've laughed out loud and also been moved by the stories he has shared about his background and his political career.

FIRST ON FOX – Missouri police say a group of six people, including two young children, who follow a popular online spirituality influencer, disappeared from the St. Louis area on Aug. 13, 2023.

The Berkeley Police Department is searching for Mikayla Thompson, 25, of St. Louis; Naaman Williams, 30, of Washington, D.C.; Gerrielle German, 27, of Lake Horn, Mississippi; 2-year-old Ashton Williams of Lake Horn; Ma’Kayla Wickerson, 36, of St. Louis; and 3-year-old Malaiyah Wickerson of St. Louis. They disappeared from a rental home near Lambert St. Louis Airport, police said in a press release.

"The investigation revealed these individuals had become a part of a spiritual cult and they follow the teachings of a man named Rashad Jamal (White). Rashad Jamal has tens of thousands of followers across multiple social media platforms. It should be noted he was recently convicted of various crimes in the State of Georgia and is serving a lengthy prison sentence," Berkeley police said in the release.

The group was last seen on Aug. 13, 2023, at a Quality Inn Hotel at 55 Dunn Road in Florissant, Missouri.

The four missing adults have one thing in common, police told Fox News Digital. They all openly follow Rashad Jamal White, a self-proclaimed "prophet" and rapper who created The University of Cosmic Intelligence — an online religious group with thousands of followers across the United States. Fox News Digital has reached out to The University of Cosmic Intelligence.

A Barrow County judge sentenced Jamal to 18 years in prison in August 2023 after a jury found him guilty of child molestation and cruelty to children, according to court documents. On Aug. 25 of last year, Jamal filed a motion for a new trial, citing "the State's failure to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt."

He has nearly 190,000 followers on TikTok, more than 10,000 followers on X and 90,000 followers on Instagram, where he shares videos expressing his beliefs that people are "avatars," birds are government-operated drones used to spy on civilians, Arizona is a gateway to Africa and the Mississippi River is actually the Nile River, among other claims.

"The only law I had broken was speaking out against oppression," Jamal said in a YouTube video posted last week. "…The only thing I am guilty of is freeing the minds of my people and speaking out against this system, and I'll never back down from that."

Jamal's group is "geared toward enlightening and illuminating the minds of the carbonated beings, a.k.a. your so called [sic] Black and Latino people of Earth," the university's website states. He preaches about "high-vibration" individuals who want to connect with the Earth and their ancient pasts versus "low-vibration" individuals who make the world a more toxic place.

"I am a god, and all of my people, the Black and Latino people, are gods. And we were made in the image of our creator," Jamal said in a May 2022 video. "Therefore, I am an extension of Her/Them, and I am the creator and destroyer of my reality, so I take full responsibility for all events that I have experienced through this lifetime, for this is what we call shadow work in the spiritual realm."

The University of Cosmic Intelligence website also lists crystals, crystal necklaces, bracelets and other items for sale at odd prices, such as $333.33, $222 or $119.99. The university offers enrollment packages for lectures, blog posts, videos and merchandise for $333.33. Jamal is also asking for $9 donations to support his family via YouTube.

Fox News Digital reported in 2022 that several of Jamal's followers — including Damien Winslow Washam, Krystal Diane Pinkins and Yasmine Hider — had been accused of two separate murders in Alabama. Washam was found not guilty of killing his mother with a sword by reason of insanity.

Pinkins and Hider were sentenced last week for killing Adam Sinjee, a 22-year-old Florida college student who was hiking with his girlfriend in the Talladega National Forest in Alabama when Pinkins and Hider staged a car breakdown and robbed them.

Pinkins and Hider had been living "off the grid" in the Talladega National Forest near the crime scene and allegedly had connections to Jamal's work through social media, as Motherboard reported in 2022.

After publication, several of Jamal's followers reached out to Fox News Digital insisting upon his innocence, not only in relation to the murder cases, but in Jamal's molestation case filed in Jackson County, as well.

Now, Berkeley police are shining new light on Jamal and The University of Cosmic Intelligence as it relates to the disappearances of the six aforementioned people, who originate from different states but met and lived together in St. Louis for a brief period before they vanished.

Neighbors reported seeing the group of six, including their children, meditating naked in the yard outside their rental home, police told Fox News Digital.

"The level of disconnect these cult members have demonstrated with friends and family members is unfathomable," Berkeley police said in their release. "We have learned that similar cult members travel at great lengths to live off the grid and stay with fellow cult members and that their economic status does not appear to be a factor."

Police noted that "major media outlets have reported on" Jamal and encouraged the public to "do an internet search on his name."

The four missing adults went by aliases that pay tribute to certain gods and goddesses — a common theme among many of Jamal's followers.

Thompson called herself Antu Anum Ahmat, Williams called himself Anubis Aramean and Wickerson called herself Intuahma Aquama Auntil, according to police.

Other behaviors that Jamal's followers exhibit, according to police, include being very active on social media in support of Jamal and The University of Cosmic Intelligence, a "total disconnection" from family and friends, quitting jobs, living off of credit cards, going off the grid and disconnecting from phones, embracing sovereign citizenship, polygamy and more.

Authorities are asking anyone with information about the whereabouts of these missing individuals to contact the Berkeley Police Department in Missouri or their local law enforcement office.

Sexyy Red Shares Highly-Anticipated "Get It Sexyy" Single, Prod. by Tay Keith

After taking over the charts and dominating the cultural conversation in 2023, Sexyy Red is back with "Get It Sexyy," her first new single of 2024. The song features booming production from Memphis heavy-hitter Tay Keith, who collaborated with Sexyy Red on her biggest hits to date. On "Get It Sexyy," the two Highsnobiety-profiled close friends make a formidable pair once again. Tay Keith's instrumental is perfectly tailored to Sexyy's playground chant flow, providing a tuneful 808 drum break that guides the rapper's hook, and supplementing with rattling hi-hats and dramatic strings to give weight to each X-rated bar. The St. Louis native is as quotable as ever, as she crafts couplets that reflect her inspirational self-confidence: "I'm so f*ckin' sexy, yeah my skin is glistening," she purrs.

"Get It Sexyy" kicks an already-eventful 2024 into high gear for the 25-year-old artist, which includes a new project on the way and a performance at Rolling Loud California 2024 this weekend. Earlier this year, Sexyy gave birth to her second child, a process that was fictionalized in the video for Drake's "Rich Baby Daddy," featuring Sexyy and SZA. The documentary-style video is one of the most talked-about and viewed music videos of the year, with over 13 million views in one month and multiple days atop the YouTube Trending charts. More recently, Sexyy connected with her close friend Summer Walker for the music video for "I Might," a highlight from Hood Hottest Princess (Deluxe), Sexyy's latest project, which came out in December.

Hood Hottest Princess (Deluxe) adds 11 songs to her critically acclaimed tape Hood Hottest Princess, earning Best of 2023 honors from The New York Times, Pitchfork, The Washington Post, Billboard, and more. The Deluxe is home to highlights like "Shake Yo Dreads," a booming pump-up anthem for all the dreadheads in your life, the ultra-raunchy "Hood Rats", and the Chief Keef collaboration "Ghetto Princess." Hood Hottest Princess (Deluxe) adds guest appearances from some of the best street rappers in the business, including Chief Keef, G Herbo, and 42 Dugg, and is available everywhere via Open Shift Distribution / gamma.

Fueled by Hood Hottest Princess and its singles, Sexyy's improbable, yet inevitable rise was one of the biggest stories in hip-hop in 2023. The mixtape earned a sterling 8.0 review from Pitchfork, who wrote that the mixtape "sets the tone for what she hopes is the nastiest, sweatiest, and freakiest summer since the smartphone came along" and "...30 minutes of straight-up standing-on-the-table raps. There are a handful of songs on here that are bound to be summertime anthems." Home to other hits like "Looking For The H*es (Ain't My Fault)," and "Hellcats SRTs," blessed with a remix featuring Lil Durk, Hood Hottest Princess made an impact on the Billboard 200, where it reached a peak of #62, and Apple Music's charts, where it peaked at #7 on the Hip-Hop albums chart and #12 overall.

Sexyy's viral rise quickly fomented success on the touring front. After a viral performance at Rolling Loud Miami, Sexyy Red earned an invitation to open on tour for her biggest fan, Drake, during his "It's All A Blur Tour" with 21 Savage. Sexyy's first headlining tour, the "Hood Hottest Princess Tour," sold out many dates within minutes of its initial onsale, including a 3,000-cap show in NYC and a 4,850-cap show in Chicago. The tour criss-crossed the U.S. for dozens of dates–including 24 sold out dates–including a massive sold out hometown show at the 8,000-capacity Chaifetz Arena in St. Louis. In all, Sexyy's first-ever headlining show sold an estimated 70k tickets, making her one of the hottest draws in the genre.

After changing the game in 2023, Big Sexyy looks to cement her status as a cultural icon for her generation. Stay tuned for more announcements.

It’s the very reason the group was launched in February 2021: while original P-pop music saw success in the late 1990s and early 2000s, support faced a steep decline once groups started modeling themselves after their Korean counterparts. The industry lacked diversity and by extension, a distinct identity: something Alamat has in spades. Today, they are ready to live up to their name (which means “legends” in English) as the first multiethnic, multilingual act in the Philippines.

Alamat came together from all over the country. Leader, main dancer, and sub-vocalist Taneo (22 years old) is from Tabuk, Kalinga, in the far North; co-leader Mo (20) is a half-Black American from Castillejos, Zambales; Jao (20) comes from Pampanga and the group’s center Tomás (24) from Tabaco City, Albay. Vocalist and visual R-Ji (23) is a Waray-Waray from Borongan, Eastern Samar, while rapper-producer Alas (21) is a Bisaya from Davao City.

All were students with side jobs prior to joining the group, and while they all agree that this gig positively changed the trajectory of their lives, the journey was not without doubts. “Lately, it seems like Filipinos gravitate towards foreign influences more: our appreciation for our culture has slowly started to fade. So when we heard of the concept of this boy group, we couldn’t help but think it was risky,” Jao admits.

Alamat’s creative director Jason Paul Laxamana further outlines to Teen Vogue via email the complexities in P-pop and K-pop, and how they’ve affected Alamat’s reception in the country. “For Pinoy K-pop fans, they would judge Alamat based on their standards: glossy sets, Korean-style choreography, and even physical appearance like light skin and colored eyes,” Laxamana says. “Since Alamat doesn’t follow their formula 100%, many perceive them to be doing it wrong.”

But these risks seem to have paid off, as they’ve built an impressive portfolio of songs that illuminate the Philippines’ illustrious culture. “Kbye,” for instance, is their debut anthem about ghosting sung in seven of our local languages. “Kasmala” — which recently went viral for its “f*ck colonizers” concept — references the 1904 St. Louis World Fair, where Filipino natives were displayed like zoo animals before a foreign audience. Their latest EP Pasulong has the sensual and bass-heavy “Aswang” as the lead single, where all six members fall for the country’s most popular urban legend: a bloodsucker that only appears at night.

#ALAMAT #ppop #ppop rise #philippines #original pinoy music #anyway i'm linking the article after my last post #b/c its a really good read and i think #this group really deserves so much more appreciation
