K Carbon Announces “5 Star” Single With GloRilla
Memphis rappers K Carbon and GloRilla are preparing to reunite on a new collaboration. Carbon will release her upcoming single, “5 Star,” featuring GloRilla, on October 15. The release will bring the longtime friends together again as both artists continue building their careers in hip-hop.
The two Memphis natives have maintained a close relationship over the years, with their connection extending beyond music. They have collaborated on multiple records, giving fans opportunities to hear their contrasting styles over hard-hitting Southern rap production.
Carbon also appeared on GloRilla’s debut studio album, Glorious, which arrived in October 2024. Her contribution to that project highlighted their musical chemistry and reinforced the connection between two artists who emerged from the same city.
With “5 Star” scheduled to arrive October 16, fans will have another opportunity to hear the Memphis rappers collaborate. The single also follows a busy year for Carbon, who has released several records in 2026 while continuing to expand her catalog.
K Carbon and GloRilla Continue Their Memphis Connection
K Carbon and GloRilla have developed a musical connection that reflects their shared Memphis roots. Both rappers have built their identities around confident deliveries, energetic records and the Southern hip-hop sound that helped put their city on the map.
Their collaborations have given fans opportunities to hear them work together outside their individual releases. With “5 Star,” they will continue that relationship while bringing their chemistry to another single.
GloRilla has continued expanding her career since the release of Glorious. The album arrived in October 2024 and reached No. 5 on the Billboard 200. It included successful singles such as “TGIF” and “Whatchu Kno About Me,” featuring Sexyy Red.
Carbon’s appearance on Glorious was another example of the support between the two Memphis rappers. GloRilla has worked with several artists throughout her career, but her connection with Carbon carries an additional hometown element.
Their relationship has developed alongside their individual success, with both artists continuing to release music and collaborate with other performers. “5 Star” will give them another opportunity to combine their styles on a new record.
K Carbon’s Recent Releases Keep Her Active in 2026
Carbon has kept busy throughout 2026, releasing a steady run of singles ahead of “5 Star.” Her recent music has showcased her energetic delivery and continued focus on the Memphis rap sound.
She began the year with “Know Wassup,” released on February 5. The single was followed by “Cocaine Crazy,” featuring Young Dro, and “What They Like,” adding more records to her catalog in the early months of the year.
On March 21, Carbon released the official music video for “Oooh Shxt.” The song continued her run of new material and highlighted her confident approach to Southern rap. Its release followed the earlier singles, keeping her music in circulation while she prepared additional records.
Carbon subsequently released “PULL UP,” featuring Choppa Tee, on April 3. She followed that with “Stay Strapped” on April 14, giving listeners two more releases during the spring.
She continued her output in the summer with “Shake Sum,” released on July 3. Carbon also appeared on Taffy’s “Taffyland” mixtape alongside Pluto and Mello Buckzz on July 17, adding another collaboration to her 2026 catalog.
On August 27, she released “Regular Day,” another solo single that arrived ahead of the announcement surrounding “5 Star.”
The consistent releases have allowed Carbon to maintain momentum between larger projects. They also demonstrate her willingness to move between solo records and collaborations while continuing to develop her sound.
K Carbon Continues Building Her Catalog
Beyond her latest singles, Carbon has continued building a catalog that includes collaborative records, mixtapes and EPs.
In 2025, she released H.B.I.C., a project that featured artists including Sukihana, BlocBoy JB and SleazyWorld Go. The project showcased her personality and gave her room to work with artists from different corners of hip-hop. She also released Not A Lover Girl that year, adding another project to her growing discography.
Carbon has collaborated with several Memphis rappers, including BIG30 and Pooh Shiesty. Those connections reflect the collaborative nature of the city’s hip-hop scene, where artists frequently work together while building their individual careers.
Her earlier collaborations with GloRilla include “Jealous Ass Bitch,” which also featured Aleza, Gloss Up and Slimeroni. That record brought several women from the Memphis rap scene together, highlighting the network of artists who have helped bring additional attention to the city.
Carbon’s appearance on Glorious further connected her catalog to GloRilla’s rise. As GloRilla has expanded her reach through major releases and collaborations, Carbon has continued establishing herself through her own music.
The upcoming single gives both artists another opportunity to build on that shared history while introducing fans to a new collaboration.
GloRilla Continues Building on Glorious
GloRilla has remained active since releasing Glorious, which included collaborations with artists from hip-hop, R&B and gospel. The album helped establish the next phase of her career after the success of her earlier mixtapes and singles.
The project featured records that highlighted her confident delivery and ability to move between hard-hitting rap and more melodic approaches. Its success also reinforced her place among the Memphis artists who have attracted national attention in recent years.
GloRilla’s career has grown through a combination of solo releases, high-profile collaborations and live performances. Her work with artists such as Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B and Sexyy Red has helped introduce her to listeners across different audiences.
Her connection with Carbon remains a notable part of her musical background. Both artists have represented Memphis while developing distinct identities, and their collaborations provide another link between their respective catalogs.
For Carbon, “5 Star” arrives after a particularly active year of singles and guest appearances. For GloRilla, the release offers another opportunity to reconnect with a longtime collaborator as she continues building on the success of Glorious.
