Rapper GloRilla Teases New Song Sampling Southern Hip-Hop Classic
GloRilla is gearing up for the release of her highly anticipated debut album by previewing a track that pays homage to a Southern Rap classic. The Memphis rapper took to Instagram Live over the weekend, giving fans a sneak peek into her creative process while in the studio.
New Song Inspired by “Wipe Me Down”
In a video clip reposted by The Shade Room, GloRilla can be seen energetically rapping along to a snippet of her new track. The song borrows its cadence and beat from “Wipe Me Down”, the 2007 hit by Foxx-a-million, Boosie Badazz, and Webbie.
Fans are already buzzing about the song, with many applauding Glo for channeling the essence of Southern rap in her own unique style.
Album Announcement: A Big Moment for Big Glo
GloRilla also dropped exciting news about her debut album during a red-carpet interview with Extra TV at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. “I’m dropping an album next month, in October,” she revealed. “I’m so excited about that. We gon’ go number one! [The title] starts with a G.”
This LP will be her first full-length album, following the release of her mixtape “Ehhthang Ehhthang” earlier this year. The 12-track project, which dropped in April, featured Moneybagg Yo, Megan Thee Stallion, Kevo Money, Real Boston Richey, and Finesse2Tymes.
Rising Above the Hate
2024 has been a monumental year for GloRilla, but the rapper revealed that her success was partly fueled by doubt and negativity from others.
She shared a tweet from October 2023 that criticized her, claiming she had “fallen off so fast and bad.” In her response on X (formerly Twitter), Glo reflected on how the comment motivated her: “I remember bookmarking dis & telling myself ‘Dey gotchu fucked up so bad,’” she wrote. “Dis post ain’t do shit but put a battery in my back I needed dat. Don’t let dese people write yo story for you. Keep going!!!”
From “FNF” to the Top
GloRilla’s star has only risen since her 2022 breakout hit “FNF”, a fiery anthem that put her on the map. She followed it up with “Tomorrow,” which gained even more traction thanks to a remix featuring Cardi B.
Now, with her debut album on the horizon and a sneak peek of a track that nods to Southern rap royalty, GloRilla is poised to make an even bigger impact on the rap game. Fans can expect the album to drop in October, and with the title starting with a “G,” the anticipation is through the roof.
Anticipation Builds for Debut Album
With her debut album set to drop in October, GloRilla has been teasing fans with glimpses of what’s to come. Her latest preview—a track inspired by Southern rap royalty—has fans buzzing with excitement. The project, rumored to start with the letter “G,” is shaping up to be a major milestone in her already impressive career. As the release date approaches, GloRilla is poised to make an even bigger impact on the rap scene. Her unique blend of raw talent, Southern swagger, and unrelenting work ethic has her on track to solidify her place in hip-hop history.
