GloRilla is proving that she’s far more than a one-note hitmaker. Best known for her fiery, club-ready anthems, the Memphis rapper takes a soulful detour with her latest single “Rain Down On Me,” featuring gospel icon Kirk Franklin. The track, which appears on her acclaimed 2024 debut album Glorious, gets a heartwarming visual treatment that showcases GloRilla’s spiritual side and deep ties to the church.
The music video, released this week, is bathed in warm light and gratitude. From scenes of a joyous congregation to moments of quiet reflection, GloRilla and Franklin build a narrative that honors resilience, grace, and faith. It’s a striking contrast to the high-energy bravado fans might associate with tracks like “Yeah Glo!” or “Whatchu Kno About Me,” but it’s exactly that vulnerability that makes “Rain Down On Me” so powerful. Glo isn’t abandoning her roots — she’s embracing all of them.
Teaming up with Franklin isn’t just a musical choice, it’s a symbolic one. It signals growth, spiritual grounding, and a willingness to explore new sonic terrain without compromising authenticity. GloRilla’s delivery remains raw and commanding, but here it’s paired with Franklin’s signature gospel warmth, creating a collaboration that feels both unexpected and entirely natural.
Even as “Rain Down On Me” continues to resonate, GloRilla is already teasing her next chapter. She recently told fans she’s working on a new project — a “new era” that promises something different. While she’s keeping the details under wraps, the recent release of “Typa” featuring Keyshia Cole hints that her evolving sound may lean more into emotional storytelling and melodic nuance.
Between these artistic pivots and high-profile collaborations with names like Lil Baby, Gelo, and J-Hope, GloRilla is cementing her place as one of the most dynamic voices in hip-hop today. “Rain Down On Me” is more than just a song — it’s a statement of gratitude, evolution, and purpose.
