Quavo: The anti-Chris Brown vibes are strong on the 'Over Hoes & Bitches' anthem

You won’t find this on Apple Music - yet. Turns out rap heavyweight Quavo turned into Huncho for a hard-hitting anthem aimed at overnight music rival Chris Brown on the new ‘Over Hoes & Bitches’ tune.

The song goes hard from start to finish. Whether it’s Huncho referencing Chris’ ex-bae Karrueche Tran or making all types of wild accusations, there’s no slowing down the Atlanta rap star on this one.

Tycoon Music Festival: There's even more R&B star power joining the stacked line-up

Could you use a few more reasons to pull through for the star-studded Tycoon Music Festival next month? It’s all types of jam-packed powerhouse entertainers with R&B superstar Ashanti and Fridayy getting added to the line-up.

Tycoon Music Festival’s star-studded line-up expands with Ashanti and Fridayy

Just when you thought the event - which is already loaded with stars like Bryson Tiller and Monica on the billing - couldn’t get bigger, the addition of two hitmakers just made this February 13 showcase an even bigger must-attend.

Generational talent Chris Brown and R&B Power Player Anthony “Ant” Wilson announce the additions of R&B songstress Ashanti, fresh newcomer Fridayy, the legendary Tank, iconic DJ Mannie Fresh, the velvety vocalist Bryson Tiller, Power 105’s DJ Envy, the soulful 112, and hitmaker Jermaine Duprito the already star studded Tycoon Music Festival lineup. 

Now in its fifth year, Tycoon Music Festival, headlined by Chris Brown, with sets from Mario, Monica, and Ginuwine, revealed its all R&B roster in honor of Valentine’s Day. The concert, produced in collaboration with Live Nation, will be MC’d by Atlanta’s own DC Young Fly, who is returning as host. The highly anticipated concert will take place at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena on February 13th. 

Past festivals included performances from R&B and Hip Hop greats including Kendrick Lamar, Young Thug, Fabolous, and 50 Cent. Ticket holders were given access to additional activities including comedy shows and exclusive parties. This year promises to be larger and grander with surprise guests. Tickets are on sale now. 

“We’re excited for Tycoon Music Festival and to present an idyllic lineup of R&B legends who’ve delivered timeless music. From Breezy, to Monica, to Mario, to Fridayy and everyone in between, this year’s Tycoon Music Festival is a showcase of the best in R&B,” said Anthony “Ant” Wilson.  

50 Cent: The 'Power' executive calls Chris Brown the official new Michael Jackson

Big cap or big facts? New York rap heavyweight 50 Cent isn’t afraid to deliver co-signs especially when it’s on the level of crowning R&B hitmaker Chris Brown the modern day Michael Jackson.

Fifty hit up his Instagram page and didn’t hold back. Instead, he shared a drawing of the late Michael Jackson during his peak reign as a musician handing over his crown to Chris Breezy.

Fridayy: Chris Brown links with the R&B hitmaker for their 'Don't Give It Away' song

It’s only right rap crooner Fridayy would drop a certified anthem in the form of his new ‘Don’t Give It Away’ featuring Chris Brown on - you guessed it - a Friday, ay? The song hits hard and immediately begs the question for how long before we’re blessed with a must-see music video?

Fridayy and Chris Brown deliver ‘Don’t Give It Away’ to the masses

While we’ll have to settle for a lyric video before a vital cinematic release, the duo come through on dropping their hard-hitting R&B collaboration and keep expectations high for what the future holds.

Building on a whirlwind year of unprecedented momentum that saw Grammy-nominated collaborations and SNL performances with likes of DJ Khaled and Lil Baby respectively, quickly rising star Fridayy has grabbed the title of ‘Melody God’ and established himself as the go-to hitmaker in the hip-hop/R&B space. Now, Fridayy reveals a brand new single entitled “Don’t Give It Away” featuring Chris Brown via Def Jam Recordings today.

On “Don’t Give It Away” - the first salvo from Fridayy’s forthcoming debut LP - a slick guitar loop snakes around a glitchy beat. Fridayy leans into the groove as he reminds, “Shorty, you know you can have it your way.” His simmering delivery bubbles into a fiery falsetto only for Breezy to roll through with an equally hypnotic cameo. Together, they deliver what promises to be the summer’s most undeniable up-tempo R&B anthem. 

Need to know what else Fridayy has been up to? Still getting put onto the next big thing in R&B? Say less.

It arrives on the heels of “Know The Truth.” In addition to cracking 1 million streams, the music video has reeled in nearly 500K YouTube views. REVOLT praised it as “an ode to low inhibitions and sexually charged intentions,” and Attack The Culture raved, “His new ‘Know The Truth’ music video locks you in from the moment it starts up.”

Now, everything just sets the stage for a whole lot more to come from Fridayy.

Last year, Fridayy’s debut EP, Lost In Melody amassed millions of streams as well as praise from Billboard, XXL, Wonderland, Essence, BET, Revolt and UPROXX. Named by Ebony as one of  “6 Music Artists To Know Before 2023,” Fridayy also continues to prove himself as both a producer/songwriter with artists like Coco Jones, Lil Tjay, Rod Wave and Vedo all releasing songs crafted by the hitmaker in recent months.

Not to mention, he performed with DJ Khaled at the GRAMMYs this year and scored three GRAMMY Award nominations.  He also made his late-night TV debut on SNL with Lil Baby.

Already heralded in artist circles and being showered with accolades before the release of his first album, it's still just the beginning for Fridayy…stay tuned.

Could you use a little more deets about his background? What to know where his love for the music culture stems from? Of course.

Born Francis LeBlanc, Fridayy learned to play several instruments at a young age — including piano, guitar, drums, trumpet, and bass, at the encouragement of his father, a Haitian immigrant, and musician. Nurturing his love for music and instrumentation in a local church choir, where he’d begin to craft his spacious and evocative sound, a blend of alternative R&B and gospel that was also inspired by his favorite acts PartyNextDoor and The Weeknd. Between 2012 and 2013, Fridayy released a steady stream of music on SoundCloud, and while he worked on his art quietly, Fridayy actively pursued a career in basketball, but an injury derailed his NBA dream. He returned to his first love and set himself back on a path towards music full-time.
 
After years of building a solid reputation with high-profile industry executives and musicians, the Philadelphia artist and multi-instrumentalist breakthrough arrived in 2022 as a feature on DJ Khaled’s “GOD DID,” featuring Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, and Jay-Z. He has also recently written, produced, and collabed with countless artists, including Lil Baby, Chris Brown, Lil Tjay, and Rod Wave, to name a few.
