With her SNL musical guest debut, Saweetie brought old Hollywood glamour to Studio 8H this week.
Against a backdrop of the word “Icy,” the rapper delivered a twerk-filled performance of her latest single “Icy Chain,” which was released on Friday.
Saweetie also played a medley of “Tap In,” the lead single from her delayed forthcoming album Pretty Bitch Music before transitioning into “Best Friend,” her playful, Doja Cat-assisted single.
Saweetie shared her latest single “Icy Chain” on Friday, which followed a handful of singles released this year including “Faking Love” with Anitta, “Best Friend,” “Slow Clap” with Gwen Stefani, and “Fast (Motion).“
Earlier this year, Saweetie spoke to Rolling Stone about her album delay saying, “I don’t want to just put my name on something and then put it out. For greatness, I have to take my time — and I’m literally starting from scratch.” The rapper had scrapped many of the songs on the record that were completed pre-pandemic because she had “grown significantly through quarantine.”
Pretty Bitch Music is slated for early 2022.
Hit-Boy stepped into a more energetic and party driven sound on his latest single "Franchise Boy," released exclusively through YouTube. The record leans on a smooth and stripped back soul sample while also nodding to Dem Franchise Boyz and their classic track "White Tee." Hit-Boy rides the production effortlessly, delivering confident bars packed with flexes about his success and high end lifestyle. The song blends hints of Jersey club rhythms with touches of Miami bass influence, giving the track an addictive and upbeat feel. "Franchise Boy" feels like a strong preview of what could be another exciting run of music from Hit-Boy.

N***as had said it was love,
But it wasn't love, I'm really above
The s**t you be talking, I'm floating and walking
In Margiela runners, you won't see them often
