Y Chibi Drops A Bomb On “Big Dawg”
The 17-year-old North Dallas newcomer, Y Chibi has just released his latest track, “Big Dawg.” On the new track, Y Chibi speaks on the importance of standing tall in the face of adversity, but also the need to help those in his inner circle when they falter. It’s a melodic track that showcases Chibi’s vocal abilities as well as his confident and mature writing style. “Big Dawg” follows Y Chibi’s reflective single, “Street Dreams” which was released earlier this year, furthering the momentum he’s building towards his forthcoming project releasing later this Spring.
“I stay wit’ my brodies in the field / You know I stick wit’ em / If one fall then we pick one up / That’s the bro code / never movin’ dolo”
– Y Chibi
In 2020, Y Chibi released his debut eight song body of work Pain-Tience. The deeply personal mixtape garnered over 700,000 streams with vulnerable songs like “Two Face” and “Life Is Short” on which he reflects upon the death of his father at the age of 14.
“[Growing up in North Dallas], there was not much in the way of resources. It was tough on my mama and my dad; it broke them apart.” When Chibi was 12, his father left the family and returned to Africa. Two years later, he died, right as Chibi was becoming a man. “Things happened to me early, I had to focus on growing up. I had to grind and challenge myself; I know that my dad would not want me to feel sad. I pushed myself to become a better person and provide for my mama. Music was one of the things that helped me cope.”

Y Chibi’s ability to blend his youthful and energetic delivery with wisdom in his writing makes him a star in the making and someone worth paying attention to early.

Grammy-nominated Atlanta rapper Deante’ Hitchcock shares his first new single of the year, “U Were Right I Was Wrong,” out now via ByStorm Entertainment/RCA Records.
The slick new single tells the story of Deante’ and his partner in the throes of an argument, cleverly referencing the classic line of “you were right, I was wrong” throughout the song’s chorus. Driven by its sleek, seductive production and Deante’s penchant for clever lyricism, his latest single is a playful ode to the familiar ebbs and flows of a relationship.
Set to release a slew of new music in 2023, “U Were Right I Was Wrong” follows last year’s release of Deante’s single “Alone” and the Valentine’s Day-themed EP Everyday The 14th. Deante’ closed out 2022 with the release of the two-pack project Callin’ All My Children, which showcased a unique blend of Deante’s southern rap roots and retro production influences, with features from Mississippi rapper and producer Big K.R.I.T. and Compton’s Westside Boogie.
Nigerian recording artist Asake releases a brand-new song and music video, “Yoga,” produced by Magicsticks. Shot in Dakar, Senegal, the video was directed by Asake’s frequent creative collaborator TG Omori (WizKid, Burna Boy, Fireboy DML). Per Asake, “the song is about minding my business and guarding my peace so no one can disrupt it.”
The new song arrives on the heels of an explosive year for Asake, with Rolling Stone noting he has “become one of Nigeria’s biggest breakout stars in recent years”. His debut album Mr. Money With The Vibe, released in September via YBNL Nation and EMPIRE, set the record for becoming the highest charting Nigerian debut album of all-time. The New York Times, Rolling Stone, NPR, Pitchfork, The FADER, The FACE, and more included the album atop of their ‘Best of 2022’ lists. The album broke the record for the biggest African album release on Apple Music, hitting #1 in 31 countries within the first 24 hours of its release. Listen here!
