Willow Smith, who performs under the stage name WILLOW, has released a new music video from her latest project. The self-directed clip for “run!” comes from the empathogen album, issued earlier this year.
The visual finds the 23-year-old making a daring escape from behind bars. Additionally, Grammy nominated duo DOMi and JD BECK appear in the “run!” music video.
“I’m trying so hard to be in the moment and see their sincerity and not let my toxic mental pattern paint them as this person who’s trying to attack me or judge me,” she detailed of the song’s lyrics to Rolling Stone. “There’s almost a sadness to it because it’s like I wasn’t strong enough to stay in the moment and see this person for who they really were, and I just ran from the situation.”
“This album is an expression of me coming to that understanding.”

Latto has been in her bag and she continues her onslaught with a music video asserting herself as “Big Mama.” The Atlanta native dropped the visuals on Friday (June 28), along with a new two-part song showing off the emcee’s versatility.
The video begins as Latto and her sister Brooklyn decide to buy a flight to Miami, where the ladies intend to have a girl’s trip. During this portion of the video, “Big Mama” finds Latto sing-rapping about an unnamed boo who she can’t get enough of. The Drake-esque delivery implies that Latto maybe head over heels for this man. Curiously enough, 21 Savage, whom Latto has been rumored to be in a relationship with, is bigged up in the song as she employs his flow to drive the point home about her unknown boo.
In the song’s second half, Latto turns her attention to her rivals as she begins clowning them for being one-dimensional. “Love when he call me Big Mama, yeah, that get the c**chie wet/ H*e better stick to TikTokin’, mean that with all disrespect/ I was a virgin ‘fore I met you, baby, I don’t have a ex/ Thought I told you bit**es, I pull up in 20 Cadillacs/ Money long, cheetah thong, thick as hell, Georgia Dome,” she spits.
She goes on, “Sharin’ ni**as, sharin’ clothes, I don’t know what y’all be on/ Y’all go for shit I wouldn’t, I’m up three-hundred a booking/ Bi**h, I don’t play for the Nets, but I’m gon’ shoot sh*t up ’bout Brooklyn/ Every time I’m cookin’/ He know I put my foot in/ Leave yo’ bi**h, get wit’ a boss, she can’t give you nothin’ but pu**y.”
“Big Mama” is the second drop after Latto’s “Sunday Service Remix,” which featured Flo Milli and Megan Thee Stallion. The song also featured several shots directed at Ice Spice, including portions of the track where she interpolated her ad-libs. Nonetheless, both “Big Mama” and “Sunday Service” seem to be preparing fans for her upcoming album, Suger Honey Iced Tea, which is set to drop soon.
