Broward County, FL — February 5, 2026 — Emerging from Florida’s vibrant, heat-soaked cultural landscape, AKA Ezzy is back with her latest single, “What It Do…?”, following the release of her debut project “Cliquebait… (The Mixtape),” which introduced her bold, playful sound to new audiences. The project’s lead single, “Huhhhhhh???”, marked a breakout moment, opening doors to new spaces and setting the stage for Ezzy’s confident return. Blending hip-house bounce, ballroom influence, and razor-sharp lyrical wit, Ezzy delivers a track that turns personality into power and movement into sound.
“What It Do…?” is a high-energy track that immediately captures the listener’s attention. Speaking about her approach to music, Ezzy shared, “The fact that they pressed play was the shot within itself… I just have to really hook them in from the beginning. It’s not always me talking—it could be the beat—but I always want to step in with that presence and really grab whoever’s listening.”
The song’s lyrics showcase her signature blend of humor and confidence. On her line, “Yes, I’m the best, I’ll turn her like Tina… I’m the queen of references… That line really encapsulates everything about me—pop culture references, being confident, and having some wit,” Ezzy explained that her wordplay is both intentional and playful.
Ezzy describes her music as “confidence, but with humor, with satirical natures, with some irony mixed in.” She believes humor is a powerful tool for connection: “Everyone loves to laugh… Not taking yourself—or life—too seriously is confidence in itself.”
Raised in Broward, Fla., Ezzy draws inspiration from pop and internet culture, crafting a sound that is both culturally fluent and highly intentional. While citing influences like Nicki Minaj, Azealia Banks, Lady Gaga, and Beyoncé, Ezzy insists her music remains distinctly her own: “Even if you cite those inspirations, when you listen to my music, anyone can say, yes, this is Ezzy.”
More than a single, “What It Do…?” is a statement of independence, confidence, and artistry. Ezzy emphasizes authenticity and self-love in connecting with her audience: “Love yourself. If you don’t love what you’re doing, don’t do it… Build yourself up to where you can move on to the next step.”
The release of “What It Do…?,” solidifies AKA Ezzy as an artist redefining modern pop and dance music with humor, energy, and self-assurance. Fans can stream the track now across all major platforms, with more projects coming soon as Ezzy continues to push creative boundaries and expand her musical universe.

4MB Slimeball is a rapper based in Kalamazoo, Michigan. His music captures the life experience he’s had in the area through vulnerable and honest yet energetic lyrics. His latest release, "Unfamiliar Faces,” captures his mindstate after being released from prison and returning to old and new people in his life.
Having a strong circle is a key aspect of 4MB Slimeball’s life. The first part of his name, “4MB” stands for “For My Brothers.” This abbreviation represents the importance of familial connection to him and highlights why "Unfamiliar Faces” is a song that captures what it can feel like when people who don’t have that connection to him try to initiate one.
“Now that I’m back in the world and doing my thing, I’m seeing people just pop up in my life because of my potential and they’re trying to take advantage of that.” he said.
4MB Slimeball wrote this song from a place of truth. All of his music is authentic but the songs like this in his discography come from a different place within him. Tracks like this are almost like diary entries because he’s writing about himself for himself instead of others.
With the truth running through the entirety of "Unfamiliar Faces” the energy is just as prevalent. The production has a calm looped vocal sample but 4MB Slimeball’s quick flow contrasts it excellently. He tends to gravitate towards a mid west based flow and sound naturally and in this track we hear him drop lines like:
Ain’t nothin’ gone get handed, sometimes you gotta take it
If I die before I wake
Don’t put nobody in my place
These lines sit comfortably beside bar based lines like:
I lead the way, Insta not the only place they follow me…
…If it’s beef then we gone grill it cause we know it’s all at stake…
Music has always been special to 4MB Slimeball. While locked up, he concluded that he was going to fully commit to it. He enjoys making it and sharing it with others and that’s what he plans to continue to do.
“I want people to hear my story and be able to connect with what I went through. I want them to see what I’ve already accomplished and see the things I accomplish going forward too.” he said.
Being released from prison was perspective shifting for 4MB Slimeball. Upon being released, he gained a new appreciation for the freedom he had. While locked up, he reflected on just how valuable time is.
“I have respect for my freedom. When you’re young, you don’t realize how quickly time can be taken away from you. My presence is valuable to my supporters. I need them and they need me. I have a strong respect for that now.” he said.
4MB Slimeball has plans to drop an EP soon and have a music video for every song on it. Creatively and sonically, his plans are nostalgic samples and classic techniques like voiceovers on songs. He’s focused on making sure he has an impactful 2026.
“I’m here to stay. I got the music and I’m ready to drop it. I’m ready to put the time, effort and dedication into it. I don’t know what will happen next but I do like surprises.” he said.
The Starlight PR Team thanks 4MB Slimeball for taking the time to speak with us.
