Saweetie Previews New EP ‘Hella Pressure' With Single ‘Boffum'
Saweetie Saweetie might be an 'Icy Grl,' but the Oakland-bred rapper is ready to turn up the heat for the summer. The hit-making artist is back with a new single, 'Boffum,' and announced her forthcoming EP Hella Pressure upon the song's release. To create the song, Saweetie teamed up with J. White, or J. White Did It, the Grammy-winning producer behind Cardi B's 'Bodak Yellow' and other rap hits. 'Lady or a pimp? 'Boffum' / You want the steak or the shrimp? 'Boffum' / Rapper, athlete, 'boffum' / Don't you ask me? Just give me 'boffum'' she raps on the track. 'How many on me, like four of 'em? / I keep a secret, no tea, I don't know nothin' / Take a shot, peel off in a 4Runner / All my haters f**ked up, need a GoFundMe.' Speaking to Billboard about her upcoming music, Saweetie explained that her next project will showcase who she is as an artist today and how she's evolved over the time in the spotlight. 'I feel like it will really encompass who I've grown into over these past couple of years. Lots of stories to tell,' she said. Over the better part of a decade, Saweetie has found her footing during a time when women began occupying more space in the hip-hop scene than ever before. It took a while, but she's since learned not to be so hard on herself. 'Earlier on in my career, I [was] like, 'I have to be perfect,'' she told Teen Vogue. 'I've realized you just have to show up and give it your best. As long as I do that, that's when I feel great about my shows… Right before I step out [on stage], I pray, and I remind myself to just have a show that's inspirational and fun, and not to strive for perfection.' Now, with more time and experience under her belt, Saweetie is prepared to handle everything her career entails. 'I feel like I finally know myself," she said on the Call Her Daddy podcast. 'I felt like I was constantly in this weird transition phase, especially with recording, like, 'What am I even talking about?'' Hella Pressure is out Aug. 1.

While her much-delayed Pretty Bitch Music debut album remains elusive, Saweetie announced plans for her HELLA PRESSURE EP, which is slated to arrive on Aug. 1 via Warner Records and comes in the midst of her upcoming four-date Australia tour run. 'I feel like it will really encompass who I've grown into over these past couple of years. Lots of stories to tell,' she told Billboard in February about her upcoming music. Outside of her own music, Saweetie became a brand ambassador for Paris Hilton's NYX Professional Makeup line. The 32-year-old was also part of the NBA All-Star Game Halftime Show in February, which saw her perform alongside E-40, Too Short and En Vogue for DJ Cassidy's Pass the Mic Live Bay Area celebration.
