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.

We aren't sure what sort of pace Boldy James is at right now, but we aren't sure anyone knows. The Detroit product has been unstoppable during this calendar year as he has six projects under his belt. Outside of one (Permanent Ink), every one of Bo's offerings have been collaborative.
RichGains, Chuck Strangers & The Alchemist, V Don, Antt Beatz, and Real Bad Man make up the current fleet of producers he's teamed up with. Now, he's preparing to add another to that seemingly endless list.
Your Boy Posca is his name, and he's actually got some history with Boldy James. Together, they put out 1LB (1 Lucky Bastard) in 2023. However, if you were curious enough to check out so you could have a taste of what they sound like together, you're going to have to pay.
The tape was a physical release only, but it seems to still be available for purchase.
So, for most of you, "Nancy Botwin," the lead single for their EP, Magnolia LeFlore, will most likely be the first offering. But that's not a bad thing because this is a smooth piece of jazz rap. Named after a character in the TV show Weeds, James delivers another detailed street tale of violence and drug dealing.
It's nothing new, but it does hit. Check it out below. Magnolia LeFlore, at 10 tracks, is due out on May 23.
Quotable Lyrics:
We really land like that, my n****
Don't make me bring tears to your mommy eyes
Or break her whole heart in half if I toss you the 'drac
Give her a life time of grief or you'll cause a mistake
Would've been took his chain, when he first got his kit
Tell youngin to give him a pass 'cause I thought it was fake
