Naomi Campbell joins Ebro Darden on Apple Music to discuss her Black History Month playlist on Apple Music.

“Afrobeats makes me feel happy whenever I hear it,” she tells Apple Music. “People just go to another level; it makes you want to dance and move.”

Campbell’s selections span emerging talents and established superstars, but what matters most to her—as she points out using Burna Boy’s “Anybody” and Wizkid’s “Joro” as examples—is that the songs give her a feeling she can’t get elsewhere: “I love the sound of ‘Anybody.’ I love the live sound of the band and Burna’s voice on top of it. It’s a new sound but it sounds like live music, which is rare these days,” she says. “I’m all about rhythm and bass, and I love the slow build of ‘Joro.’ It’s a sexy, deep, sensual song, like it’s moving forward to reveal something from inside.”

Naomi Campbell Tells Apple Music About Her Black History Month Playlist…
“Thank you so much. I had fun doing it. You know when you’re there, I mean whenever I hear Afrobeats no matter where I am, it just makes me so happy. It just makes me happy. It makes me enthusiastic. It gives me drive. I’ve been lucky enough to have met most of the artists and I feel just grounded and peaceful.”

Naomi Campbell Tells Apple Music About Her Support of Burna Boy, Wizkid, and Afrobeat…
“I support Burna. I support Wiz. I mean everyone knows Wiz is like a little brother to me. I met Wiz in Lagos but then I met him properly again in London where I bought him on stage at O2, at his first O2. And Wiz is so sweet. And then we then traveled on to Milan in which he participated in Dolce & Gabbana and I know that he broke the internet when he walked out. In Africa I heard the internet broke down, no one expected Wiz to come out and he came out in a mask and you know, [inaudible], just going back and forth and between London and Lagos and the continent really and here and most importantly I care and love them all. I want to, I support the continent so I support them. So I support Wiz, I support Burna. I want to see them be and be recognized and for their genre of music to be recognized like it should because Afrobeats is huge. And I would like to see the Grammy’s recognize it as a genre of music and have it on the main stage like everything else.”

Moneybagg Yo Returns With Deeply Personal New Mixtape “Hard To Love” + Shares New Video Inspired By “Hustle & Flow”

Published

unnamed 9 1

Today, Memphis artist, established entrepreneur, and Bread Gang Entertainment CEO, Moneybagg Yo unveils his highly anticipated heartfelt new mixtape Hard To Love. After setting off a firestorm of excitement and speculation when he announced its release date—and two years after his most recent full-length project—Bagg is back and more focused than ever. From the tape’s beginning to end, he reminds the listener just how propulsive his music can be. Listen HERE via CMG/N-Less/Interscope Records.

To accompany the release, today he also shares the imaginative video for “Where Ya Bih @.” In the visual directed by whipalo, Bagg pays great homage to the 2005 Oscar-winning film, “Hustle & Flow.” The parallels between Bagg the main character are uncanny as the iconic movie follows the dramatic life of a hustler turned rapper named DJay (originally played by Terrence Howard), who’s also a native Memphian. Like Bagg, Djay’s an overachiever with a stop-at-nothing approach and a crystal-clear vision for his success, and in the video Bagg seamlessly taps into that role as he playfully paints the picture of his comparable drive and passion. The captivating video is set to release today.

The mixtape, Bagg’s first since 2021’s A Gangsta’s Pain, was preceded by a lengthy letter posted to his Instagram account. “I gained and lost more than I ever thought I would,” Bagg wrote, “and had no other safe outlet for all the emotions and dark thoughts that came wit that other than making music.” That sort of to-the-bone honesty is the defining feature of Hard To Love. The Certified Speaker shared various singles including “Quickie,” “Motion God,” “On Wat U On,” his acclaimed collaboration with label mate, GloRilla, and most recently “Ocean Spray.” The mixtape also features “Keep It Low,” his breakneck collaboration with Future, which sounds as if it’s going to leap out of your speakers and rattle around the inside of your car; as well as additional collaborations with Fridayy, Bagg’s signee, YTB FATT, Shott Off, and Lil Durk.

Prior to Hard To Love, Moneybagg Yo shared his chart-topping album, A Gangsta’s Pain, which was the fourth highest selling rap album of 2021.  The RIAA certified Platinum album was listed “Best Albums of 2021” by The New York Times, Billboard, Complex, XXL, Uproxx, and more. In addition to his album going No. 1 he also topped the radio charts four times consecutively with “Said Sum,” “Time Today,” “Wockesha,” and “Scorpio.” Soon after he shared a collaboration with Yo Gotti, Mozzy, and Lil Poppa titled, “Big League,” which was chosen as the official song of the 2022 NBA Finals and can be found on the CMG compilation Gangsta Art.

In just a few short years, Moneybagg Yo has cemented himself as one of the most irresistible voices in the club and on the streets. He developed his label, Bread Gang Entertainment, his artist BIG30 (NLess Entertainment) was tapped as part of XXL’s latest Freshman Class, and his business endeavors extend to the restaurant industry in 2023, recently opening Cache 42 Kitchen and Cocktails in his hometown. The rapper has also been nominated for GRAMMY Awards,  Billboard Music Awards and iHeartRadio Award and collaborated with A-list stars like Kanye West, 2 Chainz, and YG. With Hard to Love, he adds another riveting chapter to his stellar discography.
