With January wrapping up, today’s top artists are keeping the coldest season of the year hot with their latest music releases.
Kicking off the new drops is Bruno Mars, who teamed up with Sexyy Red for a fun “strip club anthem” titled “Fat, Juicy & Wet.” “Fat, Juicy and Wet” is Bruno’s third recent collaboration, following the Hot 100-topping “Die With a Smile” with Lady Gaga and “APT.” with Rosé — and both women appeared in the song’s music video. The latter collab reached No. 5 on the Hot 100 and has spent 12 weeks atop the Billboard Global Excl. US chart.
Travis Scott also unveiled “4×4” accompanied by a philanthropic initiative. Scott announced that 100% of the net proceeds from special merchandise—a shirt and zip hoodie honoring Los Angeles’ first responders—will benefit Direct Relief’s California Wildfire Response Fund.

Meanwhile, Central Cee dropped his long-awaited debut album Can’t Rush Greatness via CC4L and Columbia Records. The 17-track LP features previously released singles “BAND4BAND” with Lil Baby, “Gen Z Luv” and “GBP,” featuring 21 Savage. The project also includes more collabs with Young Miko (“Gata”), Dave (“CRG”), Lil Durk (“Truth in the Lies”) and Skepta (“Ten”).
