Mic Drop: New Month, New Music

Though October feels like one of the longest months of the year, these new releases close it out with a bang.

October wrapped up with new music that was, letโ€™s face it, a bit all over the place. Not necessarily in a bad wayโ€”but we have a new disco joint, Alicia Keys in a white gown that looks suspiciously like a wedding dress, and Megan Thee Stallion in some devilโ€™s horn telling you to โ€œEat It.โ€

I would like to thank whoever decided that disco wasnโ€™t dead because Keiynan Lonsdaleโ€™s, โ€œGods of the Disco,โ€ is sensual, upbeat, and gives off real Yahya as Cadillac in The Get Down vibes. Thereโ€™s a purple suit and everything.

Flo Milli is lookinโ€™ real cute in the โ€œIce Babyโ€ video, and even though 50 percent of it is her arguing with some Kat Williams looking-ass fool, she still manages to embody a โ€œgirl next door but could beat you upโ€ aesthetic that she has very expertly tapped into.

First, Hot Girl Meg collabed with Popeyeโ€™s. Then she bought into the franchise. Now she is telling us to โ€œEat It,โ€ but Iโ€™m absolutely positive this has nothing to do with fried chicken.

Oh, and a new Mario single to get everyone ready for cuffing season.
