MUNI LONG DROPS HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW SINGLE + VIDEO, “ANOTHER”
Muni Long – who has taken the world and the top of the urban and rhythmic radio charts by storm with her platinum breakthrough smash “Hrs And Hrs,” – follows up with the highly anticipated new single + video “Another,” available today through Supergiant Records/Def Jam Recordings. The “Another” video premiere is happening simultaneously on BET Jams, BET Soul, BET Her, and BET Hip Hop, as well as the Paramount + Times Square billboards.
Muni Longarrived at Grammy weekend last week with a show-stopping performance at the Recording Academy’s first-ever Black Music Collective ceremony the night before the awards. She joined a stellar lineup of performers – Summer Walker, Chloe Bailey, Cordae, and Jimmie Allen – as they honored MC Lyte, John Legend and more.
The most buzzed-about, streamed and sought-after artist in the R&B/hip-hop music landscape today, Muni has exploded with the success of “Hrs And Hrs.” In addition to netting over 150 million streams and peaking at #1 at Urban and Rhythm radio, Top 5 at Apple Music, and hit #17 on theBillboard Hot 100.
Muni was named to iHeart Radio’s ‘On The Verge’ program, BET Amplified Artist Of The Month for April, YouTube’s Artist On The Rise, Spotify Frequency Artist, Snapchat Artist to Watch, and Amazon Breakthrough Artist of the Month. She released a jazzy rendition of “Hrs And Hrs” as her Amazon Original Live Performance – watch here. You can also watch her performance of “Hrs And Hrs” on NBC’s The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon.
Before her stirring, striking, soulful signature style caught fire around the world with “Hrs And Hrs,” Muni Long spent a decade as one of the best-kept behind-the-curtain secret weapons in the industry. Her journey as a much-in-demand songwriter, co-mingling R&B, rap, and pop, resulted in a diverse catalog of hits accumulated by Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Madonna, Chris Brown, Ariana Grande, Mary J. Blige, Kelly Clarkson, and Selena Gomez, to name a few.
But after a series of intimate and open conversations, she decided to level up as a creator and actualize her innermost ambitions. Vero Beach, FL native Priscilla Renea adopted the name Muni Long and embarked as a solo artist. “Priscilla is the name I was born with,” she says. “I always wanted to be Muni Long though. She’s fearless. She has intent. She is me.” Public Displays Of Affection, her highly anticipated EP (containing “Hrs And Hrs”) was released independently through Supergiant Records in November 2021, and immediately became a Top 10 Apple Music R&B Album.
Lu’ (@ottawasveryown) is back with another one! He has been shaking things up in the music scene since his ground-breaking debut “FEVA,” released earlier in February this year. Now, he returns with another highly-anticipated single, “Over,” out now. This offering is accompanied with a music video & solidifies Lu’s mark in the music game with his captivating storytelling and infectious sound.
“Over” is another compelling feel good single that highlights Lu’s artistic identity and capability. “Over evokes pure enjoyment and immaculate summer vibes,” he says. He invites listeners into an irresistible musical experience through the Afrobeats sound. Drawing inspiration from English and French-speaking artists, as well as Congolese artists, he sets himself apart from the industry as a multilingual artist. The accompanying music video was shot in Lagos, Nigeria and offers a setting of African greatness, luxury, and an overall great time.
Originally hailing from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, and now making waves in Phoenix, Arizona, Lu’ is a renowned Arizona Cardinals linebacker who made his musical debut earlier this year with his debut single, “FEVA.” Fighting the notion of “shut up and dribble,” Lu’ has shown that he’s far more multifaceted than just an average athlete. He shares, “The narrative of ‘shut up and dribble’ is one I’ve fought internally for a very long time. I want my audience to grasp how passionate I am about chasing my wildest dreams. You can’t let another person tell you, your dreams are too far unattainable.” Lu’ has been able to perfectly parallel his passion and dedication of being a talented athlete as well as a talented artist.
It’s worth noting that Lu’ is a definite powerhouse to keep an eye on as he continues to break barriers in both sports and music. His transition from sports to music is a prominent testament to him embracing his versatility, following his dreams, and reaching new heights. The unfolding musical journey of this rising Canadian artist is a must see.

Asian-American rappers Star2, ChinaTownRunner, and $tupid Young release the new single / video entitled “FWM”. The single precedes Star2 and ChinaTownRunner’s upcoming EP and sets the bar high with haunting cavernous beats and dark melodic flow.

Leaning into the sheer magnitude of the track itself, the visuals for “FWM” zero in on each rapper for an intense performance.
