GloRilla's Summer Album Lands a Destiny's Child Feature—and She's Keeping Everything Else Secret

GloRilla is ready to turn up the heat this summer, and she’s not holding back on the hype. The 26-year-old rapper is gearing up to drop a new album loaded with the kind of carefree, high-energy tracks that feel made for late nights and good vibes—a sharp pivot from the mix of serious and playful moments that defined her 2024 debut, Glorious, which hit No. 5 on the Billboard 200 in its first week.

What’s got fans buzzing? A confirmed collaboration with a member of Destiny’s Child. GloRilla made it clear just how much that connection means to her:“I’m a big fan of Destiny’s Child. Like, I love all three of them—Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams—and so that’s major to me. Like, I’m a huge, die-hard Destiny’s Child fan, so that’s one of them.”It’s the kind of stamp of approval that signals she’s thinking legacy, not just chasing streams.

Beyond that reveal, the six-time Grammy nominee is playing it cool. She’s teased that there are more“pretty good features”coming, but she’s keeping those cards close for now—and honestly, that mystery might be the smartest move. In an era where every project gets leaked or previewed to death, leaving fans guessing builds momentum in a way a full tracklist drop never could. The album’s arriving before summer wraps, so expect the rollout to pick up speed.

In the meantime, GloRilla’s mixing a little brand fun into the equation. She’s partnered with Reese’s Puffs and Lyrical Lemonade to drop a remix of“Eat‘Em Up”on Friday, June 26, complete with a music video and a limited-edition cereal box launching Monday, June 29, at 1 p.m. ET on ReesesPuffs.com. It’s the kind of cross-platform play that keeps her visible while the album quietly builds behind the scenes.

The shift in her creative direction—from the introspective, multi-topic approach of Glorious to an album that’s“just everything gonna be fun”—suggests she’s settling into her lane as a summer soundtrack architect. That’s not a demotion; it’s a specialization. And in a market where good-time rap has become its own undeniable force, GloRilla’s choosing the moment to lean all the way in. The question now isn’t whether the features will be good. It’s whether we can handle the wait.
