Krown Vic Kicks Things Up A Notch with New Video For “Strike V2”

Published

on

Once again connecting with in-house producer Kidd Slopes, Virginia native Krown Vic follows up his KP Skywalka-assisted release “Business Is Business” with “Strike V2.” The high-level trap record sonically appeals to the masses while simultaneously fitting the criteria for the perfect strip club cut. Krown’s storytelling when decoded is a vivid description of the underworld and what it takes to stay alive in the lawless environment.

“I love SV2 because it was a relevant way for me to express the psychotic personality that I bury inside. When you learn better you do better, so I no longer act on every thought or impulse. It’s a fun turn-up record that happened on one of the many 10-hour sessions with Slopes and me; the only difference is that this was what we call a runner backer and we couldn’t stop playing it. We knew it was going to hit and motivate the streets,” the Firm Records CEO details in an exclusive statement to #MCA about the song’s origins.

Vic is a DMV-based rapper who, alongside in-house producer Garso Dio, combines Hip-Hop beats and witty wordplay with a Trap-Punk twist. Though he stays true to his lane of street storytelling, K.V.‘s lyrics double as a cautionary tale to the youth about how making the wrong decisions can derail you from personal growth. As an adolescent, he admired heavy-weight entertainers like Eminem and Michael Jackson, who influenced his sonic stylings.

After touring the West Coast and Florida with Lil Pump, D Savage, and Joey Fatts, Vic regularly performs at local Washington D.C. venues Eden, Griffin, and Rose Bar. He has also shared the stage with Billboard chart-topping artists Gucci Mane, 21 Savage, Lil Uzi Vert, and DRAM.

Kyla Imani Enlists KARRAHBOOO For New Single “In The Hills”

Published

By

KARRAHBOOO makes her return to hip-hop with “In The Hills,” a fresh collaboration with rising star Kyla Imani. This marks KARRAHBOOO’s first release since her split from Lil Yachty’s group, Concrete Boys, in July. The fallout sparked a public exchange of insults between the two, including a fiery rant from Lil Yachty on his birthday. KARRAHBOOO, however, had the last word when she teased new music in an Instagram Live session in September.

“In The Hills” blends Kyla Imani’s fun and soulful energy with KARRAHBOOO’s sharp lyricism and undeniable charisma. Set against the backdrop of California’s iconic Hollywood Hills, the pair throw a carefree party, cruising in a pink, vintage Mustang while singing about their dreams and ambitions. The chemistry between the two artists was key for Kyla, who spoke on their creative synergy.

“As a New York City girl living in L.A., I wanted to share stories that captured the vibes up in the hills. Collaborating with KARRAHBOOO was important because, though we’re different, we both have something to prove and push boundaries,” said Kyla. “‘In The Hills’ is about embracing life’s adventures and reaching new heights, something everyone can relate to.”

Kyla Imani first gained attention in 2014 with cover songs but made a significant breakthrough in 2021 with her viral rendition of Mooski’s “Track Star.” Her 2019 tour with DDG and hits like “These Boys Ain’t It” have cemented her as a voice for Generation Z, her rich vocals resonating with a new wave of young women. This collaboration follows her summer tracks “Chosen” and “Crush,” continuing her upward trajectory.

“In The Hills” is just the beginning, according to Kyla. “This isn’t just a song; it’s a preview of a powerful fourth quarter, setting the stage for an exciting 2025,” she said in a recent press release.

Fans won’t have to wait long to see more of KARRAHBOOO either. She’s set to join Mariah The Scientist and Latto on the “Sugar Honey Iced Tea” tour later this month.
