GloRilla and Kehlani are getting everyone in the spirit for “Xmas Time” with their new collaboration that dropped on Friday (Dec. 13).
“Good luck with yo Mrs dis as merry as I’m getting,” the rapper wrote on Instagram earlier this week while announcing the single with a video of both artists’ animated bobble heads in a festive and fitting snow globe, which marks the first time both artists have been on a song together. “NOT ME IM A P! GOOD LUCK W YO MRS!” the R&B singer responded in the comments.
The two linked up for another video together, this time featuring a mashup of Mariah Carey’s Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 smash “All I Want for Christmas is You” and GloRilla’s “Whatchu Kno About Me,” featuring Sexyy Red.
“Xmas Time” arrives two months after GloRilla’s debut album Glorious, which she released CMG and Interscope. The 15-track project featured collaborations with Latto (“Procedure”); Sexyy Red (“Whatchu Kno About Me”); Muni Long (“Don’t Deserve”); Kirk Franklin, Maverick City Music, Kierra Sheard and Chandler Moore (“Rain Down On Me”), Megan Thee Stallion (“How I Look”), BossMan Dlow (“Step”), T-Pain (“I Luv Her”) and Fridayy (“Queen of Memphis”). It reached No. 2 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and No. 5 on the Billboard 200.
Both Glo and Keh both scored nominations ahead of the 2025 Grammy Awards; the former is nominated for best rap song and best rap performance with “Yeah Glo!” while the latter is up for best progressive R&B album (Crash), best R&B song (“After Hours”) and best melodic rap performance (“KEHLANI” by Jordan Adetunji).
