GloRilla teases new single after finishing Glorious Tour
In a crowded field of talent and competition, GloRilla is making sure her name not only stays in conversations but headlines them. The Memphis-born rapper has turned 2024 and 2025 into her personal victory lap, stacking Grammy nominations, scoring a top 5 debut album, and headlining a nationwide tour that left no doubt—GloRilla is here to stay.
With every step, she’s checking off boxes that many rising artists only dream of. And as she keeps teasing new music and expanding her brand, it’s clear that GloRilla’s glow-up is just beginning.
New Music Teased: Social Media Buzz
Just days after finishing her tour, GloRilla took to social media to preview what looks to be her next single. In a video that instantly went viral, she’s seen dancing in a bikini, vibing to a new track brimming with summer-ready energy. The beat slaps. The flow’s aggressive. It’s vintage Glo, with a splash of fresh. This also samples Keyshia Cole’s classic “Love” single.
There’s no official title or release date yet, but the rollout feels like something big is brewing. Fans are already demanding a release before summer hits in full swing.
This is another example of GloRilla’s smart use of social media. She knows how to stay relevant between releases by feeding fans content, even in bite-sized form.
Two Grammy Nominations for “Yeah Glo!”: A Breakout Moment
At the 67th Annual Grammy Awards in February 2025, GloRilla was nominated for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for her viral hit, Yeah Glo!. The song had already taken over streaming platforms and social media, becoming a cultural moment for rap fans, especially women, who connected with its raw energy and self-empowerment vibes.
Though she didn’t walk away with a win, just being in the company of legends like Kendrick Lamar, Cardi B, and Doechii was proof that her artistry had graduated to the next level. The nominations helped validate her growing influence and solidified Yeah Glo! as one of the standout rap records of the year.
Awards don’t make the artist—but recognition from institutions like the Grammys is a solid marker of impact, especially for rising female rappers in a historically male-dominated genre.
‘Glorious’ Album: A Debut Built to Last
In October 2024, GloRilla dropped her highly anticipated debut studio album, Glorious. The album didn’t just meet expectations—it crushed them. It debuted at number five on the Billboard 200, moving 69,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. This marked the highest opening for a female rapper that year, a huge feat considering the heavyweights also releasing music in the same window.
The 15-track project was packed with firepower. Features from Megan Thee Stallion, Latto, T-Pain, and Sexyy Red helped elevate the already confident and charismatic sound GloRilla brings. Fan-favorite singles like TGIF, Wanna Be(with Megan), and Yea Hoe Pt. 2 quickly became anthems, climbing streaming charts and dominating TikTok trends.
From gritty Memphis flows to high-energy club bangers and introspective moments such as gospel music, Glorious was more than an album—it was a statement.
The Glorious Tour: A National Victory Lap
After delivering one of the strongest debut albums of the year, GloRilla took her sound on the road. The Glorious Tour, which wrapped last weekend, spanned 22 dates across North America. Kicking off in March 2025, the tour saw packed venues in cities like Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, and Toronto. This also included back to back performances at Coachella, earlier this month.
But this wasn’t just a solo show. GloRilla brought along a few names to keep the energy high. Fellow Memphis native YWR Rambo, rising Chicago star Queen Key, and viral sensation Real Boston Richey joined as special guests. Their performances added flavor and helped reinforce GloRilla’s commitment to putting new talent on.
The final tour stop in Memphis was emotional and electric. Performing in front of a hometown crowd, GloRilla delivered hit after hit, capping her victory lap with an unforgettable night of celebration.
GloRilla’s Influence: Taylor Swift Cosign and Industry Love
Her music has resonated beyond the core hip-hop crowd. Pop superstar Taylor Swift used GloRilla’s Whatchu Kno About Me in a behind-the-scenes Instagram reel promoting her Eras Tour. That kind of endorsement doesn’t happen unless your music is crossing genre lines—and catching fire.
She also earned recognition at the Give Her FlowHers Gala, receiving the Big Femme Energy award, which spotlights boundary-pushing women in music. These moments, while sometimes overshadowed by chart stats, speak volumes about the respect GloRilla is earning industry-wide.
Why GloRilla’s Rise Matters in Hip-Hop Today
GloRilla’s emergence represents more than just a viral moment or chart success—it’s part of a broader evolution happening in hip-hop. More women are headlining festivals, getting brand endorsements, and landing features previously reserved for men. Artists like Latto, Ice Spice, Megan Thee Stallion, and GloRilla are showing that talent, personality, and authenticity will always shine—regardless of gender.
Evergreen perspective: For young women looking to break into rap, GloRilla’s journey is both blueprint and inspiration. She kept her sound unique, stayed connected to her roots, and built a career brick by brick.
What’s Next for GloRilla?
With a massive debut album, a successful tour, Grammy nominations, and more music on the way, GloRilla’s momentum is undeniable. She’s hinted in interviews and livestreams about upcoming collaborations and possibly even a deluxe version of Glorious.
As summer heats up, it’s likely we’ll hear a new single drop that could dominate playlists and radio waves. With her distinct Memphis drawl, confident delivery, and raw relatability, GloRilla has carved out a lane that only she can occupy.
Whether you’ve been following her since F.N.F. or just hopped on after hearing Yeah Glo!, one thing’s for sure—this is just the beginning.
GloRilla is redefining what it means to be a new school rap star. She’s bold, strategic, and authentic. From Grammy nominations to sold-out shows, she’s proving that she’s not a flash in the pan—she’s a force in the game. And with new music on the horizon, fans and critics alike are watching closely.
If 2024 was GloRilla’s breakout year, 2025 might be the one that makes her a legend.
