B R E-Z and LG Join Forces for High-Energy New Rap Track “NASCAR.”
American rapper, singer and actress Bre-Z (Calesha Murray) and Philadelphia-born rapper Mia Waring, professionally known as LG (Team Genius), are bringing their distinct journeys together on their new rap track “NASCAR.”
Released on August 28, 2026, the collaboration pairs the two artists for an energetic visual built around a Maybach SUV, urban streetwear and a dynamic fisheye-lens aesthetic. Bre-Z and LG deliver a lively lip-sync and dance performance, matching the song's energetic feel with confident movements and playful camera angles.
For Bre-Z, “NASCAR” represents another step in a career that has successfully crossed music and television. Born Calesha Murray, the American entertainer first made her mark as a rapper and songwriter before gaining widespread recognition as an actress.

Her major television breakthrough came with her portrayal of Freda Gatz on Empire, where her musical background also became part of her character's storyline. She later became widely recognized for playing Tamia “Coop” Cooper on All American, expanding her audience and establishing herself as a familiar face in contemporary television.
Despite her acting success, Bre-Z has continued developing her identity as a recording artist. Her releases include the 2018 EP The Grl. and 2020 album Full Circle, reflecting a musical career that has continued alongside her work on screen.
LG, born Mia Waring, brings a different but equally notable journey to the collaboration. The Philadelphia-born rapper began building her reputation in the city's underground hip-hop scene before relocating to Los Angeles and continuing to develop her career as LG (Team Genius).
One of LG's early career milestones came in 2014, when she won Best New Female Rap Artist at the Philly Hip Hop Awards. She subsequently expanded her reach through music placements and commercial opportunities, including work connected to brands and entertainment properties such as Xbox, Netflix, Disney, Nickelodeon, Apple Arcade and Hulu.
Her music has also generated significant online attention, with tracks such as “YBM” gaining millions of plays on TikTok. Her song “Level Up” was also featured in promotional material for Space Jam 2, further demonstrating her ability to take her sound beyond the traditional hip-hop space.
Those individual journeys make the pairing on “NASCAR” particularly notable. Bre-Z brings years of experience across rap, acting and mainstream entertainment, while LG arrives with a foundation built in Philadelphia's hip-hop culture and a growing catalog of music and commercial placements.
The visual mirrors that meeting of worlds. The Maybach SUV represents luxury and ambition, while the streetwear styling and fisheye photography maintain a distinctly urban hip-hop aesthetic. Their energetic performance places personality and chemistry at the center of the presentation.
Rather than simply functioning as another collaboration, “NASCAR” connects two artists who have each carved out their own lanes. Bre-Z's journey from hip-hop to major television roles on Empire and All-American meets LG's rise from Philadelphia's underground scene to a broader entertainment audience.
Together, Bre-Z and LG give “NASCAR” a cross-generational and cross-market appeal, combining music, fashion, performance and lifestyle into a visual designed to resonate with hip-hop audiences both in the United States and around the world.
