No one likes the back and forth, hot and cold parts of relationships. To get the message across, up and coming singer Kendre Jae released the official music video for her Saweetie-assisted song, “Seesaw,” from the rapper’s Pretty Summer Playlist: Season 1. Released on April 16, the EP features a collective of artists handpicked by the “Icy Girl” artist herself. Saweetie described the 7-track project as a new tradition where “every summer I’m sharing my platform and dropping a fly a** playlist featuring artists who are up next.”
Directed by Slater, the visual stars Dreamville rapper Cozz and ranges in tone from fiery and dark to flowery and bright—just as polarizing as the romantic experiences detailed in the song’s lyrics.
“Collaborating with Saweetie on ‘Seesaw’ came as a complete surprise, one that I will never forget!” Kendra Jae shared with Complex for the video’s premiere. “I created something that came from my real-life experiences. Something that I was extremely passionate about that I felt needed to be shared with the world because I knew that there were such relatable emotions that women could connect with.”
This is not the first music video issued from the playlist project. To kick-off the release, Saweetie dropped the music video for “Risky” her playful, summer bop featuring Drakeo The Ruler, complete with a decked-out hot-pink Honda.
Meanwhile, Saweetie is preparing to release her debut album Pretty Bi**h Music. During an interview with Hollywood Life, the 28-year-old rapper revealed the long-awaited project is complete.
“I went to Paris to finish my album [and] now I’m just living with it to ensure it’s perfect,” Saweetie said. “A new album is something serious. I need to know that when I release this kid of mine because as artists we feel our products are our babies, that no matter what anybody says, I’ll know that it’s my best work. I’m really challenging myself and I just want to ensure that I put out a body of work that [will] symbolize art.”

"Often times I get comments like "bro kids listen to your music you’re teaching them the wrong things when you say such vulgar things. Sh*t that's what happens when you give your kids free range internet access ??♂️," Dave Blunts said on his Instagram while talking about his new album, You Can't Say That.
"Im just telling my life story and how it happened. YES it was very vulgar and inappropriate when I found Abbigail (an ex-girlfriend) was selling ?. YES I do be Trickin ??♂️. These are the harsh realities of my life and I’m not gonna Kidzbopify my lyrics because the sh*t I go through is not sunshine and rainbows," he added in part.
Dave Blunts was not kidding in the slightest as his beefy solo effort is chockful of very vivid moments and stories. A lot of them center around Abbigail, but also Issabelle and Solar. The latter two particular receive a lot of screen time, for lack of better words.
He recalls the viral moment in which he found out Issabelle was only with him for the clout. As for Solar, Dave vents about how frustrated that he was when discovered that she was cheating on him. He doesn't hide his feelings either about these women.
The Iowa rapper absolutely tears into them with pointed lyrics and titles such as "Solar's Unsuccessful Attempt To Return" and "Issabella's Untimely Deportation." But all of these past experiences have made him "Tired Of Being A Simp" and he's looking to change for the better.
That's just one topic Dave focuses on though. His health issues and beefs with other figures in the space are just another handful of things he tackles. See what he's got to say with the Spotify and Apple Music links below.
