Following the success of ‘Get Out The Way’, his country-drill fusion track with Brooklyn drill pioneer Fivio Foreign, championed by the likes of Spotify, VIBE Magazine, and Earmilk, rising South Carolina pop-country musician CALDWELL has linked up with award-winning St. Louis rap sensation SEXYY RED for another massive genre-defying collaboration titled ‘BEER & BADDIES’, out now via Plush Records, ADA, and Warner Music. Co-produced by Caldwell and Jordi (Snoop Dogg, Lil Baby, David Guetta), and engineered by Grammy Award-winning musician Leandro ‘Dro’ Hidalgo (LISA, Stormzy, Tyla), ‘Beer & Baddies’ sees Caldwell and Sexyy Red blending their southern swagger with bold hip-hop energy, and an unmistakable pop-rap flair to create a party starter for the summer. 

The track is a glorious celebration of freedom, flirtation, and unapologetic fun, inspired by Caldwell and Sexyy Red’ssouthern roots and the high-energy culture of tailgates, barbecues, and party nights. Serving as both a tribute to youthful recklessness, and a soundtrack for letting loose, ‘Beer & Baddies’ pairs country storytelling and melodic hooks with heavy 808s, bouncing beats, Caldwell’s anthemic swagger, and Sexyy Red’s signature unfiltered bars. Her verse is the show-stealer – raw, raunchy, and dripping in confidence – as she flips the track into a fiery celebration of feminine power, ratchet glamour, and southern heat. Their chemistry is electric, and the result is a genre-smashing anthem that feels equally at home on a Nashville backroad or a Miami club floor. 

With Caldwell riding high on the success of ‘Get Out The Way’, and as he gears up to release his debut album later this year, the South Carolina pop-country riser – who already boasts two iTunes #1 singles – is not resting on his laurels. ‘Beer & Baddies’ sees him delivering some of his best genre-bending and forward-thinking offerings yet, with the help of the Hood Hottest Princess herself Sexyy Red, who is coming off her biggest 12 months yet. Having been nominated for five BET Awards last summer, and landing her latest mixtape In Sexyy We Trust on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart top 20, Big Sexyy closed out 2024 winning ‘Best Breakthrough Hip Hop Artist’ at the BET Hip Hop Awards, and began 2025 with the massive hit single ‘Fat Juicy & Wet’ featuring Bruno Mars. 

Speaking about the inspiration for ‘Beer & Baddies’, Caldwell says, “It’s all about self-expression and being young, wild and free. Coming from the South, we love a good beer, and love a better baddie. Ultimately, ‘Beer & Baddies’ is a celebration of fusing the sounds and cultures that I grew up on, bringing the country influence and merging it with a hip-hop twist. Sexyy Red and I wanted this track to bring the hype, high energy and fun to the scene, and I’d say we achieved our goal. ‘Beer & Baddies’ is a party starter, and Sexyy did her thing on the track. She’s the baddest baddie of them all, and working with her on this track just made absolute sense – we made some fire together”. 

ABOUT CALDWELL 

Hailing from Greenville, South Carolina, Caldwell is a genre-defying artist whose music fuses Southern rock, pop, hip-hop, and country to create a sound that is raw, fearless, and deeply personal. Raised in a household where hip-hop and rock coexisted, he picked up the drums at just five years old, later shifting from sports to songwriting in high school. Inspired by the unapologetic storytelling of Eminem, the genre-bending energy of Bruno Mars, and the pop sensibilities of Justin Bieber, Caldwell refuses to be confined by industry norms. His music explores the full spectrum of human emotion—from heartbreak and resilience to the messy, unfiltered beauty of real life. 

Despite early scepticism, Caldwell’s unwavering work ethic and bold creative vision have propelled him to the forefront of a new wave of genre-blending pop artists. His breakthrough iTunes #1 singles, including the viral hit ‘Flyin’ Pass’, signalled his arrival as a force in modern pop-country music with an edge. Now, as he gears up for his highly anticipated debut album, Caldwell is pushing the boundaries of what country can be – bringing a gritty, fearless energy to his music, while staying true to his roots. At his core, Caldwell champions authenticity, a voice for those who refuse to fit neatly into one box, proving that great music knows no boundaries.

Sexyy Red is one of the most electrifying and talked-about names in hip-hop today – unapologetically bold, irresistibly charismatic, and impossible to ignore. The St. Louis native broke through in 2023 with the viral smash hits ‘Pound Town’ and ‘SkeeYee’. The breakout success of those singles powered her second mixtape Hood Hottest Princess onto the charts and introduced the world to a new kind of rap star – raw, real, and unfiltered. Since then, Sexyy Red has racked up hit collaborations with Drake, Tyler, the Creator, GloRilla, and more, while continuing to dominate playlists with solo hits like ‘Get It Sexyy’ and ‘U Kno What to Do (UKWTD)’. 

Her 2024 mixtape In Sexyy We Trust cemented her staying power, with high-profile features and chart placements that further proved her crossover appeal. In 2025, she teamed up with Bruno Mars for the Billboard Hot 100 hit ‘Fat Juicy & Wet’, fusing her raunchy, fearless style with pop polish and once again defying expectations. Named ‘Best Breakthrough Hip-Hop Artist’ at the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards, Sexyy Red blends southern rap influences with sharp wordplay and brazen confidence, making her a standout voice, fan favourite, and defining personality of her generation.
