Prime Boys: Come Wit It

This Toronto hip-hop trio has been making a mark online, and signing to eOne will boost their prospects. Aiding the cause is this cut featuring insistent beats, fluent rhymes and a raunchy new video.

Prime Boys: Come Wit It

By Kerry Doole

Prime Boys -"Come Wit It" (eOne): This Toronto hip-hop crew comprises Jimmy Prime, Jay Whiss, and Donnie, and they have made a mark, individually and collectively, with earlier tracks on YouTube and streaming platforms.


Joining the eOne music roster confirms they are ready for prime time, as does this bangin' new party anthem. It is produced by Murda Beatz, who has worked with the likes of Drake, Gucci Mane, and Migos, and the accompanying video clip is directed by Joe Gunner & 88 Everything.

Atop staccato and insistent beats, the trio delivers their rhymes with authority, while the clip is a suitably raunchy depiction of a decadent house (mansion) party.

In a label press release, the Boys explain "When we made the song we knew it was a banger.  We knew that in the video we wanted it to be something fun, and entertaining. Once we showed the video to Murda Beatz, and he said it’s fire, we knew it was time.”

Look for a new release early next year plus a Prime Boys appearance in the Vice documentary, 6ix Rising, a look at the T.O. scene. A string of live performances and high-profile collaborations are also expected.

Indoor Recess is handling media.

Nora Fatehi and Jason Derulo Join Forces for ‘Snake’: Inside the Globe-Spanning Collaboration

Fatehi, a Canadian-Moroccan Bollywood superstar, hopes the new single "introduces me to the international market in a very unique way," while Derulo preps new music of his own.

Nora Fatehi and Jason Derulo have kicked off 2025 with a single designed to combine cultures. On Thursday (Jan. 16), the Bollywood superstar and veteran hitmaker unveiled “Snake,” a thumping dance collaboration that joins East Asian melodies with American dance-pop production, creating a sensual duet with global aspirations.

Fatehi tells Billboard that the track came courtesy of a discussion with producer Tommy Brown (Ariana Grande, Victoria Monét) about finding a sound that could unite audiences in different regions of the world. “My main word was ‘exotic,’ and I wanted to make sure that it was dance-oriented — that whoever heard the song would want to move,” she recalls. “And after finishing the song, we were thinking about which artist would really be a good collaborator, and Jason’s name came up. And I’ve been a fan, and someone who’s really appreciated his journey, for a very long time.”
