Phabo Releases His New Single ‘Before I Let Her Go’

For this past New Music Friday, rising R&B singer and rapper Phabo released a new single titled ‘Before I Let Her Go.’ The song was penned by Phabo and produced by rising producer Damnfraka and the infamous Troy Taylor. (He’s produced a lot of your favorite R&B records like ‘Sweet Lady,’ ‘Just Came Here To Chill,’ and ‘Your Love.’ — Check out his songbook here!)  

You might have already guessed that ‘Before I Let Her Go’ is about how a smooth operator is ready to shift gears for a special woman. Phabo specifically asks his lady what she’d like if she were “under oath”

‘Take your puppy to the groomers while you at South Coast 
Always asking me what color you should paint your toes
Girl walk back to me so I can lick your lipgloss off 
She know exactly what I need that’s a female boss’
 

Phabo’s pen pushes such a romantic narrative. The entire production is like a letter from a sly lover boy. To paint a better picture, watch the single’s visualizer below. 

In a statement issued to Rated R&B, Phabo explained that he “intentionally [paid] homage to the ’90s bad-boy R&B era” while also keeping up with today’s relationship scene. His assertion definitely checks out. If you listen closely, the instrumentals in the chorus strike pretty close to the background composition in one of Usher’s hits — ‘Nice and Slow.’ If you don’t believe it, go listen to the instrumental and come back to ‘Before I Let Her Go.’ 

The sample adds a new layer to the song. Perhaps he would like to take things nice and slow with the one he’d do serious damage for!

The subtle addition captures the beauty of sampling old jams. In an era where new R&B songs seem oversaturated with samples, ‘Before I Let Her Go’ stands strong on its own. Instead of a simple CTRL+C and CTRL+V, ‘Before I Let Her Go’ is fraternal to the original record.  

Phabo is a force to be reckoned with as he has written for Kehlani, Kyle Dion and Jahkoy. He also has his own projects out. Per his Soundcloud, you can find a few of his unreleased songs. You can also find his debut album ‘Soulquarius’ on all streaming platforms. (Some recommendations: ‘LNF,’ ‘Slippery’ ft. Destin Conrad and ‘How’s My Driving?’)

He’s also scheduled to perform for the Soho Rising Tour until April 11th. Be sure to RSVP!

Following Kendrick Lamar‘s release of ”Not Like Us” on Saturday, Drake swiftly responds with his own diss track, “The Heart Pt. 6.”

In a clever nod to Kendrick’s previous diss, Drake aptly chose to dub his latest diss “The Heart Pt. 6.” Kendrick, who had previously named his diss track “6:16 in LA,” borrowed from Drake’s signature style of titling tracks with timestamps in various cities. Notably, Kendrick Lamar has gained renown for his ongoing “The Heart” series, releasing “The Heart Pt. 5” back in 2022.

In his latest diss, Drake unveils revelations about Kendrick being misled regarding Drake’s alleged daughter on “Meet the Grahams.”

“You waited for this momеnt, overcome with the desperation / We plotted for a week and then we fed you the information / A daughter that’s 11 years old, I bet he takes it / We thought about giving a fake name or a destination / But you so thirsty, you not concerned with investigation,” he raps.

He continued with, “You gotta learn to fact check things and be less impatient / Your fans are rejoicing thinkin’ this is my expiration / Even the picture you used, the jokes and the medication / The Maybach glove and the drug he uses for less inflation / Master manipulator, you bid on the speculation.”

Drake also doubles down that Dave Free fathered one of Kendrick’s children and questions why Kendrick hasn’t seen his children in six months.

“And why isn’t Whitney denying all of the allegations? / Why is she following Dave Free and not Mr. Morale? / You haven’t seen the kids in six months, the distance is wild / Dave leaving heart emojis underneath pics of the child,” he raps.

The cover art for the single shows Drake’s Toronto mansion with markers typically reserved for identifying sex offenders.

“Say Drake I hear you like em young, to any b*tch that talk to em and they in love, make sure you hide your little sister from em,” Kendrick spits.

Kendrick Lamar did not take kindly to Drake‘s latest diss track, “FAMILY MATTERS,” and has fired back with another diss towards the Toronto rapper an hour later on a track titled “meet the grahams.”

On the latest diss track, Kendrick is extremely direct, bringing up Drake’s mother, father, and son. He also reveals that Drake is hiding another child, a baby girl, and doubles down on claims that Drake is dating underage girls.

On Drake’s alleged second child:

“I’d like to say it’s not your fault that he’s hiding another child/Give him grace/That’s the reason I made Mr. Morale.”

Drake’s mother, Sandra:

 “Dear Sandra, your son got some habits/I hope you don’t undermine them.” 

“Your son’s a sick man with sick thoughts/I think n—-s like him should die/Him and Weinstein should get fucked up in a cell for the rest of they life/ And we’ve gotta raise our daughters knowing there’s predators like him lurkin’/Fuck a rap battle, he should die, so all of these women can live with a purpose.”

Drake’s father, Dennis:

“You raised a horrible fuckin’ person/The nerve of you, Dennis”
