Popstar Benny, Vayda & SadBoi: It's late night turning up fun in the 'Wiz' music video

Ready for October? Well, before you answer - how about knowing hitmaker Popstar Benny is serving up quality fire with a new Oasis studio album arriving next month? Now… how about those fall goals?

It’s all about counting down the rollout to his new LP and geeking out with a fire ‘Wiz’ music video demanding your attention with collaborators Vayda and SadBoi pulling through, too.

Atlanta production arbiter Popstar Benny has just announced that his new album Oasiswill be released next month on October 11th and shared the LP's lead single "Wiz" (feat.Vayda & SadBoi) — out now along with an accompanying music video. Fueled by a moody piano riff, skittering hi-hats, and its Popstar Benny-produced visual, "Wiz" finds Vayda and SadBoi, two of ATL's 2024 breakout artists, trading lyrical barbs across a sleek tapestry of ominous 808s ("Why all these n----- wanna be a bad bitch?/Stay postin' all of these pics of they fits/Hookah and a bottle, they callin' it lit/Crumble under pressure, I'm callin' them Ritz"). The track marks the first offering from Oasis, which boasts a stacked all-woman ensemble of ATL rappers and vocalists, including Coco & Clair Clair, Vayda, SPOOK, SadBoi, and more.

On Oasis, in the words of Popstar Benny: “Atlanta is in its female renaissance. All the girls got something to prove — that’s why they can do it better than a lot of the guys.”

Known for his work with Rod Wave, Kevin Abstract, Destroy Lonely, and more, Oasisstamps Popstar Benny's first project of 2024 following the release of 2023's University!, which featured Tony Shhnow, Bear1Boss, and Duwap Kaine. Produced and curated by Benny alongside a familiar cast of frequent collaborators (Cashcache!, Nerdcoke, Baredex,), Oasis was mixed by ATL's own Alex Tumay (Metro Boomin, Young Thug, Travis Scott, 21 Savage) and features cover art courtesy of Farris Knudsen, who also designed Lil Uzi Vert’s Pink Tape and Gucci Mane’s Droptopwop. Recorded in just over a week at a treehouse Airbnb in ATL's Virginia-Highland neighborhood, Oasis is a celebratory ode to the city's woman-led rap renaissance — capturing an unforgettable portrait of Atlanta's vibrant new underground in the process.

Vayda: The new 'Adele' music video will have you dropping your jaw

Need to lose your mind on a Friday? Just take a look at what music newcomer Vayda is serving up for the culture. She’s glowing up and making sure her anthems are well-taken like with what she has brewing courtesy of the new ‘Adele’ visual.

It’s a fire song but then adding the cinematic appeal? Tough. Peep the details and get caught up in the glowing.

Critically acclaimed Atlanta-based artist Vayda has just shared a new single “Adele”, along with an accompanying video. As a key woman at the forefront of the new mash-up of internet sounds, Vayda embraces the DIY sound, pulling from genres like Jersey club and dance/electronic to create a wave of groovy, forward-thinking music that has already been championed by the likes of GRAMMY.com, The FADER, Pitchfork, AJC and Passion of the Weiss.

With the majority of her songs clocking in well under two minutes, Vaydacombines various elements of internet subgenres to create a sound that is free of regionality and instead embraces the chaotic, mash-up culture of the ever-changing music world. Backed by consistently lush production that usually comes complete with bouncy drums or ethereal synthlines, Vayda raps with an easy-flowing demeanor, diving into her most intimate thoughts with quirky wordplay – her new single “Adele” is no exception.

Over the bouncy drum pattern and chopped-up vocal sample, Vayda flexes her adaptable flows and fluid wordplay in a single stream-of-consciousness verse – “I made some money, just off of being myself / Always knew I would have wealth / Got no respect, these hoes gon’ smile in your face and feel like they losing theyself”, she raps through a cheeky yet authoritative cadence.

To kick off 2023, Vayda dropped her danceable shade EP and has kept her foot on the gas with other short releases like “Sprite” (feat. Noah Salem), “TWEAKER” and her dawnEP. As the trends of sped-up tracks are becoming more and more prevalent across the music industry, Vayda is right at home among internet experimentations and genre-pushing sounds that she’s been honing in since the start of her career. As she continues to contribute to her impressive string of singles and EPs, the new release of “Adele” marks a continuation of Vayda’s sound as she pushes the boundaries of genre and embraces the DIY ethos, creating her own distinct sound in the process. Vayda will also be opening for Veeze on select sold-out dates in LA, Houston and other major cities on his Ganger Tour.
