Jamaican icon Shenseea has shared her new album ‘Never Gets Late Here’ in full.
The star introduced herself on titanic debut album ‘ALPHA’, a work that shone with intent. Matching dancehall energy to her innate grasp of pop theatrics, Shenseea’s songwriting stood out from the chasing pack.
Teased over the past few weeks, new album ‘Never Gets Late Here’ pivots in fresh directions. Building on the success of her radiant debut, it’s a project peppered with highlights.
Aiming to build outwards, Shenseea was joined by a fresh crew of collaborators – the mighty Wizkid appears on ‘Work Me Out’, while Anitta adorns ‘Red Flag’ and CLASH favourite Coi Leray appears on ‘Flava’.
Out now, ‘Never Gets Late Here’ arrives just in time for summer. She comments…
“This album was curated with timeless records that appeal to many cultures. Still maintaining my Jamaican authenticity, I infused my affinity for other genres such as pop and R&B. My fans will find summer anthems and songs to bring them motivation, joy and inspiration. I’m excited to share this with the world!”
Tune in now.

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.
