Monaleo drops ‘We On Dat’ official video
Columbia Records
The Houston native shares her latest video
Rapidly rising lyrical heavyweight Monaleo heats things up with new summer anthem "We On Dat," her newest release via Columbia Records. In true Monaleo fashion, the new track is filled with effortlessly clever wordplay and a flow so versatile that still manages to be reminiscent of vintage Houston. Monaleo first teased the release last month to her ever-loyal fanbase before officially announcing the single earlier this week, and swiftly delivering the full drop, complete with a striking visual.
The accompanying music video comes today in celebration of 713 day, Houston’s unofficial holiday honoring the city’s original area code and everything that makes it iconic. Celebrated every July 13th, it’s a day to celebrate the culture, creativity and community of H-Town. The official music video directed by George Buford and Oliver Cannon was shot in the metro city of Houston, with accompanying scenes in the bayou that nod to the young rappers spiritual and ancestral roots. Clad in her signature pink with a matching truck, Monaleo delivers a bold reminder: on top of being polarizing in her own right, she can go toe to toe with anyone.
Monaleo, the unapologetic force from Houston, Texas, has emerged as one of the most compelling new voices in hip-hop. At just 24 years old, she has already captivated listeners and critics alike with her fearless lyricism and undeniable charisma. Her breakout hit, “Beating Down Yo Block,” earned RIAA gold certification, amassing over 36 million YouTube views, and cemented her as a rising star.
Her debut album, Where the Flowers Don’t Die (2023), delivered a deeply introspective and resonant experience, addressing themes of depression, anxiety, and family struggle with unflinching honesty. In 2024, she built on that momentum with Throwing Bows and “Don Who Leo,” a viral sensation that took TikTok by storm with over 4 million creations and peaked at #16 on the Billboard Charts. As of 2025, Monaleo has garnered over 125 million YouTube views and over 300 million all-time streams, further solidifying her place in the cultural conversation.
