Megan Thee Stallion has officially kicked off her highly anticipated album Suga with the release of her new single, “B.I.T.C.H.” Dropped on Friday, January 24, this track marks the first official song from her debut studio album. Last year, Megan shared her excitement about the album during an extensive discussion with NPR, outlining her vision for the project.
Setting the Tone with ‘B.I.T.C.H.’
“B.I.T.C.H.” serves as the opening track for Suga, establishing the album’s tone right from the start. Produced by the acclaimed Detroit super producer Helluva, the song offers a modern twist on 2Pac’s classic “Rather Be Ya N.I.G.G.A.”, blending nostalgic beats with Megan’s signature style. This fusion is expected to resonate with both new listeners and longtime fans.
Introducing ‘Suga’ and New Alter Ego
In conjunction with the album’s release, Megan will unveil a new alter ego named Suga. Following her electrifying NPR Tiny Desk concert in December, she hinted at this new persona, saying, “My next project I will be introducing a new lady. Her name is Suga. She’s besties with Tina Snow.” This exciting development suggests a fresh direction in Megan’s artistry and a deeper exploration of her creative identity.
While Suga currently lacks an official release date, several collaborations have been confirmed, adding to the excitement surrounding the album. California singer Kehlani is set to feature on the project, and a collaboration with SZA was confirmed during a recent Zane Lowe interview. Furthermore, Megan has been spotted in the studio with legendary producer Pharrell Williams, hinting at high-profile contributions to the album.
