Saweetie: It's all types of celebration vibes with 'Birthday' vibes fully activated

West Coast rapper Saweetie has plenty to smile about these days. After ample teasing, the hip-hop heavyweight has come through with the promise and release of multiple new singles including a fire ‘Birthday’ music video.

Saweetie delivers her ‘Birthday’ vibes at ‘Shot O’Clock’

Whether you’re here for the star-studded appeal of her ‘Birthday’ single with YG and Tyga or need Saweetie to yourself with ‘Shot O’Clock,’ the double rollout is very impressive.

Grammy®-nominated artist Saweetie releases two new singles that are sure to make waves in music and pop culture. She joins forces with fellow rap luminaries YG and Tyga for the club-ready new single “Birthday” and turns all the way up on “Shot O’ Clock.” True to form, the Cali MC's latest smashes sizzles with bravado and suggestive innuendo — making it the perfect soundtrack to any celebration. That joyous tone comes through in the accompanying “Birthday” video, which finds the trio ready to party.

“Comin’ live on my birthday, spendin’ hundred racks on a new chain,” Saweetie raps over a pulsing bassline. Her collaborators then tackle a verse a piece, each putting their own spin on the swaggering anthem. The final result is the kind of unstoppable club monster that demands people to move. 

 In the track's suitably slick video, Saweetie serves eye-candy and attitude on her birthday and it’s clear she’s in control. Always the life of the party and a Goddess in true form, the video gives us a glimpse into lavish lifestyle and birthday shenanigans. 

The follow-up track, “Shot O’Clock,” is a flip of Suzanne Vega's seminal "Tom's Diner." It’s an upbeat nightclub anthem capturing the energy of partying all night long with friends. Since day one, Saweetie has shown an innate ability to captivate with her bold delivery and addictive, tell-it-like-it-is lyricism. Both songs demonstrate her versatile talent, seamlessly switching between punchy rap bars and catchy hooks. These two releases are just a taste of what we can expect from her highly anticipated debut album. With “Birthday” and “Shot O’ Clock,” the hip-hop heavyweight ups the ante by delivering bangers that’ll be in high rotation at parties for years to come.

Saweetie, YG, and TYGA will perform “Birthday” when they hit the road this fall for the “STR8 to the Klub Tour.” Spanning 13 West Coast cities in North America, the California rappers will also enlist Kamiyah, Wallie The Sensai, and DJ Vision as supporting acts.
