Doja Cat is at the height of her music career right now, earning her first #1 single with "Say So." The rapper has been bubbling for quite some time but, through her Nicki Minaj collaboration, she was finally able to strike the world with a chart-topping track. Her sophomore album Hot Pink has experienced a spike as a direct result of her recent success.
Because of how she's been performing this year, a ton of other artists are lining up and knocking at her door to collaborate. One of those stars in question is Ariana Grande.

Speaking with Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio today, the pop star confirmed that she's got some unreleased magic in the stash with Doja and, whenever she releases new music, it'll likely be on the way. We can only imagine it'll be another chart success.
"I love her. I was able to work with her earlier this year on this song that I want to save for whenever it’s time again, to drop," said Grande about her collaboration with Doja Cat. "But I love her so much. I love her personality. I love what she brings to the table musically. She’s just such a breath of fresh air. I think she’s brilliant and so talented."
Fans are already going crazy about this team-up on social media, imagining what the song will sound like and building hype. You can bet your top dollar that this one will be pretty popular upon its release.

"I want to speak on some artists that is involved with the deluxe, and they're also artists that I have a lot of respect for and I think they're dope," Wayne said during his introduction of Jessie. "Reason I bring it up like that is cause maybe y'all didn't know too much about me knowing these artists." The two of them went on to speak about how they've been keeping busy and grounded during quarantine, before Wayne played a snippet of their collaboration.
Before the episode came to a close, Wayne also gave fans another preview of a song with Tory Lanez off Funeral deluxe called, "Help." While Tory, who's become somewhat of a radio host extraordinaire himself during the coronavirus pandemic with his show, Quarantine Radio, didn't join Wayne to discuss their collaboration, Wayne gave fans a taste of "Help" regardless.
Don Toliver Explains How He Linked Up With Eminem
Don Toliver explains how he ended up on Eminem’s new album “Music To Be Murdered By” with Ebro Darden and Apple Music.
Don Toliver is one of the most exciting new artists right now. His official debut album Heaven Or Hell has earned rave reviews and as the Houston native continues to gain traction as an artist, he is enjoying the most successful stretch of his career. Preparing to head out on tour with The Weeknd (if the summer ever arrives…), Don Toliver is getting the wheels ready to go but, this year, he’s been working like crazy on just getting his name out there. A lot of hip-hop heads finally took notice when the Cactus Jack Records signee popped up as a featured guest on Eminem‘s surprise album Music To Be Murdered By.
Speaking to Ebro Darden and Apple Music about how that feature came together, Don Toliver explained how he even ended up on Em’s radar.
“That’s one for the OGs,” says Don Toliver about the D.A. Doman produced track “No Regrets” with Marshall Mathers. “I was in the Cactus Jack studio [when I got the call] and I was recording. I think Em was already on tip with what I had going on but who really I think plugged the spot was D.A. Doman. No cap.”
Don didn’t wait to record his chorus for the song. He says that he hopped in the booth right away and had it finished within the hour, ready to be released the next day.

You’re listening to art from all around the world that hasn’t been uncovered, really. There’s so much music from all around this earth, it’s hard to gather in one place—I’m trying to bring that for everybody.”
