GloRilla – “Typa”

GloRilla drops new “Typa” single

GloRilla is officially back with her first release of 2025. The rising Memphis rap star has dropped a brand-new single titled “Typa”, and it’s already generating serious buzz across the hip-hop world. The track, released on June 6, showcases GloRilla’s sharp delivery, commanding flow, and a refreshed artistic direction for the new year.

But “Typa” is more than just a single. It marks the next phase in GloRilla’s meteoric rise—a journey that has taken her from viral fame to Billboard Top 5 charts, Coachella stages, and a sold-out national tour.

‘Typa’ Sets the Tone for GloRilla’s 2025

“Typa” is the kind of song that instantly grabs your attention. Clocking in at just under three minutes, the track is tight, punchy, and full of the confident swagger fans have come to expect from Glo. It also samples Keyshia Cole’ classic “Love” single.

Built on a trap-heavy beat layered with crisp hi-hats and deep 808s, “Typa” lets GloRilla’s voice take center stage. She raps about independence, success, and setting her own standards. True to her Memphis roots, her flow cuts through the beat with unapologetic energy and signature Southern flair.

While Glo hasn’t confirmed whether “Typa” is part of a larger project, it feels like the opening chapter of something bigger—possibly a second studio album or an EP that will arrive later in 2025.

Cover Art with NFL’s Xavier Legette Turns Heads

Adding even more intrigue to the release is the cover art, which features GloRilla alongside Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette. The visual was revealed just a few days before the single dropped and immediately went viral across Instagram and X (formerly Twitter).

Legette, a 2024 first-round NFL draft pick, stands confidently beside GloRilla in the image—both dressed in sleek, all-black fits against a bold, electric backdrop. The pairing sparked curiosity and excitement online, fueling rumors of a potential music-video cameo or public appearance from the athlete.

Whether it’s just a savvy branding move or a creative expression of a deeper collaboration, it’s clear that GloRilla is stepping into 2025 with a broader cultural reach and strategic star power.

A Strong Follow-Up to the Success of Glorious

“Typa” arrives just a few months after GloRilla wrapped up her Glorious Tour, a 20-city trek that followed the release of her debut studio album Glorious in fall 2024.

Glorious debuted at No. 5 on the Billboard 200, marking one of the highest-charting debuts by a female rapper in recent years. The album balanced brash club anthems with reflective moments, showcasing GloRilla’s growth as both a lyricist and an artist.

The album featured an impressive range of guest appearances, including:

• Megan Thee Stallion
• Latto
• Sexyy Red
• Muni Long
• BossMan Dlow
• Kirk Franklin

Yes, gospel legend Kirk Franklin was featured on the closing track—one of the most talked-about and genre-bending moments of the album.

Coachella + Tour = Major Career Milestones

In March and April 2025, GloRilla took her music on the road for the Glorious Tour, hitting major cities from Los Angeles to Atlanta. She performed to packed venues and sold-out shows, proving her staying power beyond streaming charts.

A key highlight? Glo’s appearances at Coachella, where she performed on back-to-back weekends, cementing her status as a festival mainstay.

Her Coachella sets were praised for their energy, choreography, and live vocals—rare in an era of heavy playback. Outlets like Rolling Stone and Pitchfork lauded her ability to command a crowd while staying authentic to her Memphis roots.

Why GloRilla’s Rise Feels Different

GloRilla’s story is both modern and refreshing. Bursting onto the scene with viral hits like “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)”, she quickly evolved from TikTok darling to respected MC. What separates her from others is her ability to merge Internet-era charisma with old-school grind.

Where many artists fizzle out after a few quick hits, Glo has built a foundation—one brick at a time. Glorious showed she could hold down a full-length project. Her collaborations span rap, gospel, and R&B. Her performances are polished. And now, with “Typa,” she’s showing that the evolution continues.

Memphis Rap’s New Star

It’s impossible to talk about GloRilla without talking about Memphis. The city has a storied hip-hop legacy—Three 6 Mafia, Yo Gotti, Moneybagg Yo, and now GloRilla.

She carries that tradition with pride, lacing her music with local slang, hard-hitting beats, and the gritty spirit of her hometown. For younger listeners, she represents the voice of a new Memphis—bold, savvy, and culture-shifting.

GloRilla’s rise also adds to the growing wave of women dominating Southern rap, joining a group that includes artists like Latto, Flo Milli, and KenTheMan.

Fan Reaction: Instant Love for ‘Typa’

Initial reactions to “Typa” have been overwhelmingly positive. Fans across social media have praised the song’s catchy hook, quotable bars, and no-nonsense attitude.

“GloRilla never misses,” wrote one user on X.

“Typa is going straight into my summer playlist,” said another.

Some fans have also speculated that a music video is in the works, especially given the stylized cover featuring Xavier Legette.

Where to Stream and What’s Next

“Typa” is now available on all major platforms:

• Spotify
• Apple Music
• Amazon Music
• TIDAL
• YouTube Music

No tour dates for summer 2025 have been announced yet, but insiders suggest that Glo may join a festival circuit or do select headline shows as new music rolls out.

If “Typa” is any indication, we can expect more hits—and maybe even another full-length album—before the year is over.

GloRilla Is Just Getting Started

“Typa” doesn’t just mark a new single—it marks a new chapter. One where GloRilla is stepping confidently into her status as a headliner, a trendsetter, and a leader in modern hip-hop.

She’s no longer the underdog. She’s a main character in today’s rap scene.

With a Billboard-charting debut, a successful tour, and a fresh 2025 single already making waves, GloRilla has positioned herself as one of the most compelling artists of her generation.

And if “Typa” is the tone-setter for what’s next? We’re all in for a wild—and glorious—ride.
