It’s the last Monday of the month already, which means we’re closer to nice weather. As February comes to a close, it’s only right that I bless you with some new heat that’s dropped in the past week. Check out new music from Cincinnati Rose, Shay Bandz, Vanni, and K.I.L. below.
$hay Band$ – ‘Famous’
After bringing us “No Features” back in January, Shay Bandz returns with her highly anticipated visual, “Famous.” Originally teased after the release of her August single, “Distant,” fans, including myself, have been patiently waiting for the release of this video. Serving as a follow-up to “No Features“, “Famous” features footage from the artist’s 20th birthday and simply reminds us why she’s the first lady of Shooterz Music Machine. Her words are lethal and the haters just wish they could be her.

K.I.L. – NO I.D.
Giving us “Harvard Square” last month, K.I.L. returns with his latest offering, “No I.D.” Off his Separation EP, K.I.L. never fails to deliver in his verses.
