GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion, two prominent figures in the new wave of women in hip-hop, have recently joined forces for their first collaboration titled 'Wanna Be.' This track pays homage to the rap generation that preceded them, showcasing a blend of influences from past eras.
GloRilla, hailing from Memphis, has released her sophomore mixtape 'Ehhthang Ehhthang,' featuring collaborations with notable rappers such as Moneybagg Yo, Boston Richey, and Kevo Muney. 'Wanna Be,' her song with Megan Thee Stallion, samples Soulja Boy's 2010 hit 'Pretty Boy Swag,' seamlessly bridging the gap between Southern hip-hop traditions and the contemporary music scene.
Expressing her admiration for Soulja Boy, GloRilla revealed her childhood crush on the artist during a podcast interview. Her mixtape release coincided with a visit to the White House, where she met with President Biden and Vice President Harris, an experience that left her in awe of her growing influence and reach.
As GloRilla continues to make waves in the music industry, she is set to join Megan Thee Stallion on the upcoming Hot Girl Summer Tour as an opening act for select dates. The tour, Megan's first headlining venture, will kick off on May 14 in Minneapolis and will span across North America and Europe throughout the summer.
