Today’s New Music Friday falls on the day after Christmas, putting those new AirPods and Bluetooth speakers to good use.
Sexyy Red surprised her fans with the holiday single, “If You Want It.” Sexyy sported her best Santa Baby suit on the cover and delivered bars centered around being the finest gift anyone could ever receive. The St. Louis star has steadily released singles in recent months, though her supporters have not received a full-length project since 2024’s “In Sexyy We Trust.” Still, “If You Want It” is promising new heat to keep her supporters fed until the satisfyingly raunchy rapstress makes her next move.
Lil Uzi Vert continues his independent run, releasing his latest track, “What You Saying.” This serves as the latest in a strong lineup of singles since exiting Atlantic Records weeks ago. Since then, Uzi has unveiled “Chanel Boy,” “Relevant,” and “Regular,” leading up to “What You Saying.” His new drop is another spin on the Jersey Club sound, with remnants of his hit, “I Just Wanna Rock.” It remains to be seen if Uzi’s new dance bop will live up to its predecessor. For now, early feedback suggests his supporters are digging this one.
Kevin Gates didn’t just drop a single; instead, he gave his day ones a mixtape to celebrate Santa’s arrival. “Real N***a Holiday” arrived on Christmas Eve, bringing eight new tracks from Gates. The short project kicks off with “GRWM” and concludes with “Love Me Not,” with undertones of his new romance felt throughout.
