Loe Shimmy delivers with the hard-hitting Pretty Girlz Run The World album
It’s more than just a few tunes. How about the Sunshine State native coming through with 20-plus tracks with everyone from Sexyy Red and Summer Walker to Brent Faiyaz involved. Peep the deets.
South Florida hip-hop trailblazer and XXL 2025 Freshman, Loe Shimmy, drops his highly anticipated new album Pretty Girlz Run The World via Rebel Music/gamma, out now on all streaming platforms. The new output features buzzing hip-hop and R&B hitmakers Brent Faiyaz, Sexyy Red, and Summer Walker, and follows Shimmy’s breakout run this year with single “Body Dangerous” and a standout feature on Drake's Habibti album, which accumulated over 8 million monthly Spotify listeners.
Pretty Girlz Run The World marks a new chapter in Shimmy's artistry, as a melodic, emotionally driven project that finds him pushing his range without losing the raw authenticity that built his following, with tracks like the Spanish guitar-inflected "Not A Love Song," and the falsetto-soaring "Soul Taker”. Balancing harder-hitting records for the club with a deeper, more personal sound, and focus on empowering women, the album is Shimmy's most ambitious and versatile body of work to date.
“I’ve been recording non-stop, so seeing this project come to life means everything. I am here to celebrate the power and beauty of all women, because they really do run the world,” says Loe Shimmy.
Loe Shimmy is joined by a collaborator lineup that represents the next generation of R&B and hip-hop, including multi-platinum contemporary R&B artist Brent Faiyaz on “Run The World,” where Faiyaz delivers his signature smooth vocals and unmistakable sound, while “5 Star Freak” pairs Shimmy with Sexyy Red over hypnotic production, bringing a bold, high-energy dynamic to the album. On “Just Saying,” with Summer Walker, the duo showcase effortless chemistry as their voices complement each other, blending melodic storytelling with the emotional depth that has made both artists standout voices in modern R&B and hip-hop.
