ATL’s Yung Mal Spits His “Bankroll Flow” in New Video
Rising in the fiercely competitive Atlanta scene with his agile flows and roots in the trap-historic Zone 6 neighborhood, Yung Mal knows what it takes to be a leader in his city. Honoring the memory of one of Atlanta’s most beloved hometown heroes, Bankroll Fresh, Yung Mal shares his video for “Bankroll Flow” from his recent mixtape, Iceburg, Where You Been? Backed by a piano-driven instrumental which Mal latches his inspired flow onto with a sense of urgency, the track finds Mal with a laser focus on his priorities, knowing he has to step up to stand out: “I do this s*** for my family, they depend on me n****, f*** the fame/I don’t give a damn what you heard about me, I ain’t never going out like what’s-his-name.”
Rising UK Artist Paris Paloma Releases “LABOUR,” The Viral TikTok Rallying Cry Against Misogyny
The viral single has received a rapturous response from fans, with previews of the song on TikTok garnering hundreds of thousands of views. The attention spurs from the powerful message behind the track. “‘labour’ takes us inside a relationship where the speaker’s self-worth is once again reduced, like many people who find themselves in draining relationships with undeserving people. Taking on all the emotional labour – because we accept the love we think we deserve. But it is a breaking point… it is the first time the speaker acknowledges the toxicity of these dynamics, and the song is about the escape from that relationship,” Paloma exclaims.
PRE’s Jay Fizzle Drops “Nike Check” Video
The deluxe edition of DonaFizzo is an embellishment of Fizzle’s most accomplished project to date. Backed by cavernous trap beats by the likes of Bandplay and Sosa 808, the tape reverberates with Fizzle’s desire to follow in Dolph’s footsteps and take over the Dirty South. From the Mission: Impossible-esque bounce of “50 Freaky B*tches” ft. 21 Lil Harold, to the furiously flex-heavy “Nothing Into Something,” DonaFizzo hits harder than a bo-staff from start to finish. The tape is home to singles like the Memphis posse cut “Dust Town Livin” ft. Big Scarr & Big Moochie Grape and “Standin On Top Of Sh*t,” a collaboration with Key Glock.

Swedish producer LJUNG’s constant wanderlust has taken him to distant corners of the Earth. On a trip to the Maldives, he met Norweigan singer Eirik Næss, and since there weren’t many Scandinavians on the island, it felt natural for them hang out. The two got to know each other and enjoyed the tropical lifestyle, including great parties and swimming in the ocean. It felt like paradise, until one day when a big rainstorm came in over the island forcing them to stay inside. To not let boredom get the best of them, they started creating music together.

The vulnerable lyrics on new single ‘Crash & Burn’ ask the sincere question, “Do you need me anymore?” Revealing further on the track’s themes, Fellow Robot frontman Anthony Pedroza explains, “I wrote ‘Crash and Burn’ for my partner, Luis, who I love dearly, and I know he loves me too.
