Ryan Trey and Mariah the Scientist Join Forces for Latest Release: “Ain’t Even Friends”
Ryan Trey has teamed with Mariah the Scientist for his new single “Ain’t Even Friends.”
Ryan’s poignant vocals explore themes of personal shortcomings and the realization of losing a remarkable woman who stood faithfully by his side. His introspective lyrics echo with remorse as he croons, “At any given time I knew you could call my bluff / You held me down when I couldn’t hold you up.”
In a poignant retort, Mariah the Scientist steps up with her verse, reflecting on the time she invested in a partner crippled by insecurity and his inability to express genuine affection. Her lyrics lament, “All them f*cking nights I spent parked up on your block / I put in that time with you abut it wasn’t enough.”
Regarding their collaboration, Mariah the Scientist shared, “Ryan is so talented. I love the song and had a great experience recording it and shooting the video.I hope everyone loves it as much as we do.”
The single “Ain’t Even Friends” arrives in tandem with an official music video, directed by maliaSHUTup.

Skilla Baby Drops The Coldest (Deluxe)
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.”
