Gordo & Drake “Healing,” Sule & Black Soprano Family ft. Benny The Butcher “Made For It” & More | Daily Visuals 7.31.24

HipHopWired Featured Video

It’s been a minute now since Drake had to reluctantly take the “L” and move on in his now famous battle with Kendrick Lamar and while he hasn’t released any new material since he has linked up with another artist to get back into the swing of things.

Connecting with the likes of Gordo for their new music video to “Healing,” Drake and G take a backseat in this visual to focus on Tiktoker Don Madfunz who would walk 9 miles to work every morning in his home land of Dududu in South Africa. Showing how he goes about his day to provide for his loving family, by the end of the video the Don is gifted with a car of his own to help ease the load of his daily grind just a bit. Real heartwarming stuff here.

Back in the states, Benny The Butcher keeps bodying some beats and for Sule and the Black Soprano Family’s clip to “Made For It,” Benny and the fam play the block in the dead of night where they put in some work and drop their bars to pass the time. Real relatable stuff if you grew up in the hood.

Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Popcaan and Masicka, Malie Donn, and more.

GORDO & DRAKE – “HEALING”

SULE & BLACK SOPRANO FAMILY FT. BENNY THE BUTCHER – “MADE FOR IT”

POPCAAN & MASICKA – “LIFESTYLE”

MALIE DONN – “WHAT’S POPPIN”

VALIANT & DJ MAC – “GWAAN SUH”

AQYILA – “MOST WANTED”

KHANTRAST – “LANDED IN BROOKLYN”

THE 9INE & RVSSIAN – “WAIT FOR ME”

Hyolyn’s New Song ‘Wait,’ Being Confident & More | KCON LA 2024

Hyolyn chatted with Billboard’s Tetris Kelly on the red carpet of 2024 KCON LA.

Tetris Kelly:

Hanging out with Hyolyn at KCON, how are you today?

Hyolyn:

Yeah I’m fine. 

Tetris Kelly:

Well you got a big comeback coming with “Wait,” so what can fans expect with the new track. 

Hyolyn:

First of all, the music is absolutely awesome. And I believe the fans would love the choreography and most likely be impressed by the music video. 

Tetris Kelly:

Oh I cannot wait to see the dance moves in the video girl. And also, I feel like you’re so honest online like we see you being true to yourself. So how is it to be so real and how do you get the courage to`be yourself?

Hyolyn:

For me it’s not about courage, since I don’t try to embellish myself, but to be just as I am. When it comes to confidence, interacting with fans on stage gives me courage and confidence. 

Tetris Kelly:

That’s so beautiful, and last thing, what is one of your music obsessions right now that you are listening to that’s not your own music?

Hyolyn:

My recent music obsession… I’ve been listening to my songs too much. 

Tetris Kelly:

Well we can’t wait for “Wait” then, we can’t wait to hear it. Thank you so much.

Hyolyn:

Thank you so much!
