The Atlanta rapper boasts mastery of warmth and melody while showing self-love and crew love

Now, about a decade into his career, Atlanta’s K Camp has modern Southern anthems to his name like “Cut Her Off,” featuring 2 Chainz, and “Do It,” with Mykko Montana; a flurry of romantic cuts like “What’s on Your Mind” and  “Comfortable”; and a viral hit in “Lottery (Renegade).”

The Marietta-raised rapper spits like a big flexer with a soft spirit, and his most recent release, Float, activates both approaches. You can hear it in the difference between singles “Guts” and “Game Ain’t Free,” the first finding him blocking a hot girl who “do too much,” and the latter, in part, a plea for cuddles. One of the songs that best illustrates this dichotomy is “Tables Turn,” where Camp’s honeyed chorus goes from highlighting his, er, inherent attractiveness (“She gon’ let me in that pussy, that’s too easy”) to his deep loyalty to his friends (“Can’t give up on my guuuuuuys, that’s too easy”), interjected by observations on violence and strife.

His verses pick up the tempo, riding the beat with a balance of staccato bars and singsong raps. Produced by Bobby Kritical and vntg Jag, “Tables Turn” sounds like a perfect continuation of K Camp’s addictive last project, Kiss 5, with its tender and saccharine moods, but Camp leans into his pride too quickly and too deeply for you to mistake this for one of his sweeter tracks geared towards women he admires. Instead, “Tables Turn” is a love song for himself and his brothers, one where he celebrates his work, their bond, and the good times they deserve.

The feud between Cardi B and Akbar V has been going strong for years. The two artists have traded insults across social media since the early 2020s, and there are no signs that their rivalry is coming to an end. This week only added more fuel to the ongoing conflict, with both rappers exchanging fresh jabs online. On Friday, Akbar V decided to take things beyond social media by releasing her diss track, "You Ain't Pretty." She performs over the beat from "Pretty & Petty," a fitting choice considering the situation. Throughout the song, Akbar V targets Cardi B's personal relationships, childhood, and cosmetic procedures with a series of sharp lyrical attacks. The record pulls no punches, leaving many wondering whether Cardi B will answer with a response of her own.

Quotable Lyrics from You Aint Pretty

Name a bitch who had more facelifts than Cardi B, gun pointed to your head (Bitch dead)
How it feel to be the ugly baby mama, left her hubby for a n**** who barely even want her
