It’s been six years since we’ve heard a solo effort from Rihanna.

Today, the Bajan songstress returns with the leading single from the soundtrack to Black Panther: Wakanda Forever titled ‘Lift Me Up.’

Written by Tems, Rihanna, Ryan Coogler, and Ludwig Göransson, the ballad is a tribute to the life and legacy of Black Panther star Chadwick Boseman, who passed away in August 2020 from cancer.

“After speaking with Ryan and hearing his direction for the film and the song, I wanted to write something that portrays a warm embrace from all the people that I’ve lost in my life. I tried to imagine what it would feel like if I could sing to them now and express how much I miss them,” said Tems. “Rihanna has been an inspiration to me so hearing her convey this song is a great honor.”

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever – Music From and Inspired By, will another song by Rihanna titled “Born Again.” Produced by The-Dream and James Fauntelory, “Born Again” will be released via Rihanna’s label Westbury Road, in partnership with Roc Nation, Def Jam, and Hollywood Records on Nov. 4.

Skilla Baby Drops The Coldest (Deluxe) miixtapechiick

Earlier this year, Skilla Baby released his 16-track project, “The Coldest,” via Geffen, featuring collaborations with Polo G, Flo Milli, Moneybagg Yo, G Herbo, DaBaby, Rob49, Mozzy, NoCap, Jeremih, and Tay B.

The Detroit native has now returned with the official deluxe version, which includes additional tracks such as “Soulja Slimm” featuring Rob49, “Bobby Trap on The River,” and “Body Bangin’,” among others. The deluxe edition also features contributions from Bossman DLow, Baby Money, and Southside.

“I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous but fun at the same time,” Skilla shared during the album’s initial press release. “As an artist, I’m known as the ‘girl’s guy,’ but I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions: mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc. I say that to say sorry for the wait, but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…,” he continued.

The deluxe version of “The Coldest” follows Skilla Baby’s joint tour with Rob49, “Vultures Eat The Most Tour.”
