GloRilla has given fans a first taste of what to expect on her upcoming debut album, previewing a new track that borrows from a Southern Rap classic.
The Memphis rapper took to Instagram Live over the weekend, allowing fans to join her virtually while she was in the studio.
In one clip, reposted by The Shade Room, Big Glo can be seen rapping along to a snippet of a new song, which borrows both its cadence and beat from “Wipe Me Down,” the 2017 hit by Foxx-a-million, Boosie Badazz, Webbie.
Check out the track preview below.
GloRilla is set to punctuate 2024 with the release of her debut album, which she just revealed will be arriving next month.
Sharing the news with Extra TV while on the red carpet at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards on Wednesday (September 11), Glo also gave a hint at the album title.
“I’m dropping an album next month, in October,” she said. “I’m so excited about that. We gon’ go number one! [The title] starts with a G.”
The LP follows the Memphis native’s mixtape Ehhthang Ehhthang, which dropped in April. The 12-track project features appearances from Moneybagg Yo, Megan Thee Stallion, Kevo Money, Real Boston Richey and Finesse2Tymes.
It’s been quite the year for Big Glo, and she recently gave credit to a 2023 post from a fan that said she’d fallen off as to how she has been so successful.
Taking to X on Wednesday (September 4), Glo posted an October 2023 tweet that read: “Glorilla fell off so fast and bad [crying emojis].”

“I remember bookmarking dis & telling myself ‘Dey gotchu fucked up so bad,’” she wrote. “dis post ain’t do shit but put a battery in my back i needed dat. don’t let dese people write yo story for you , Keep going !!!”
GloRilla achieved major success with her 2022 breakout single “FNF,” then followed it up with another successful single “Tomorrow.” Cardi B hopped on the latter and made it even bigger.
