The follow-up arrived on July 9 with Florida rapper Denzel Curry bringing his signature rapid-fire flow to the track's bass-heavy production. Now, Hanumankind joins for the third iteration, delivering verses that highlight his growing international presence.
Hanumankind, who went viral in late 2024 with his track 'Big Dawgs' and a remix featuring A$AP Rocky, continues his rise with standout bars on the new track. The Bengaluru-based rapper also references his Indian roots and global ambitions, bringing a unique perspective to the 'Victory Lap' project.
Fans first speculated Hanumankind's involvement after a cryptic cut-off verse at the end of 'Victory Lap Two' hinted at another guest appearance. Online buzz suggests more MCs could join the expanding lineup, with listeners speculating that Danny Brown or Ski Mask the Slump God might feature on future versions.
The 'Victory Lap' series has been praised for its genre-blending energy, fusing UK grime, U.S. rap, and Fred again..'s dynamic electronic production. Built around a playful Doechii sample and a propulsive bassline, each remix adds new dimensions while keeping the frenetic pace and party-ready vibe intact.
Fred again.. has yet to confirm if additional versions of 'Victory Lap' are planned, but the series has already become a viral favorite.
The producer's last full-length album, Actual Life 3 (January 1 – September 9 2022), peaked at No. 27 on the Billboard 200 in November 2022 and solidified his reputation as one of electronic music's most innovative voices.

‘State Change' by Molly Joyce and ‘Preludes' by Teddy Abrams Review: Adaptation and Allusion
In the early days of electronic music, the prevailing belief among most composers and listeners was that the new genre would be self-contained, distinct from traditional instrumental and vocal music. The performance venue, in most cases, was a studio rather than a concert hall, and composition was a matter of creating or collecting sounds and then juxtaposing and sequencing them into aural collages, rather than notating abstractly for others to execute at another time and place. That seems an almost quaint notion today. Though pure electronic music is by no means extinct, the real momentum in the genre now—thanks in large part to laptop computers and software created to take advantage of their portability and flexibility—is in live performance combining acoustic instruments (or voices) and electronic sound. And as new recordings by the composers Molly Joyce and Teddy Abrams demonstrate, these hybrids offer an enormous expressive range.

Korean Media Leads Netflix Weekly Charts Again With ‘Kpop Demon Hunters' & ‘Squid Game'; ‘Sullivan's Crossing' Sparks Interest Ahead Of Season 3
Korean media is still taking Netflix by storm as KPop Demon Hunters and Squid Game led the service from July 7 to 13. The most-watched title on the platform last week, KPop Demon Hunters racked up 24.2M views to put it back atop the English films list.

The third installment has managed 122.2M views since its release on June 27, already making it the third most popular non-English series on Netflix, behind only Seasons 1 and 2 of the Korean drama. Speaking of, both prior installments were also back on the weekly Top 10 list as well. It was quite a quiet week on the English TV side of things, with Season 2 of The Sandman taking the top spot. The episodes, which premiered on July 3, amassed 5.9M views in its first full week. This is a decline for the series, considering Season 1 finished its second week of availability with around 11.5M views. However, by the third week, the series was sitting at a similar benchmark. The Sandman is ending with Season 2, marking a solid run for the comic adaptation, which ahead of the second season became embroiled sexual assault and misconduct allegations against Neil Gaiman, who created the comic on which the series is based and developed and executive produces the Netflix series. Gaiman has denied the allegations. Kevin Williamson's The Waterfront stuck around in second place this week, and the CW drama Sullivan's Crossing took third. The Canadian series has, like many other series, found new life on Netflix after the first two seasons were made available on July 8. The series managed about 3M views last week, which is pretty strong given that the series is not available globally, only in the U.S. and Canada. Season 3 is currently airing on the CW, so it will be interesting to see whether this impacts its linear performance at all. The new season is set to land on Netflix in August. In the world of live events, Netflix aired yet another match up between professional boxers Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano on Friday. Data from VideoAmp, released by the streamer, said that about 6M viewers tuned in globally during the main event, though Netflix has the fight ranked at No. 5 with 2.8M views. The best explanation for this discrepancy is that the streamer uses total streaming time divided by runtime to report viewership, which does not effectively account for co-viewing. Co-viewing is incredibly common, especially for live events as audiences typically gather to watch together, so the VideoAmp data probably gives a better idea of just how many people were tuned in for this one. Notably missing from last week's Top 10 is Lena Dunham's latest comedy series Too Much. The 10-episode series starring Megan Stalter premiered on July 10, so it is still in its early days. Its absence from the rankings suggest it pulled in around or under 2M views in its first few days on Netflix, given that was the tally for No. 10's Ms. Rachel.

‘Squid Game' Is Still Blowing Up For Netflix
Squid Game's Korean adventures might be over, but the dystopian drama won't stop blowing up records for Netflix. After the third season of the show debuted June 27 amassed 60.1 million views across its six episodes, which broke the streamer's record for most views for a show in its first three days, it added another 46.3M views, combining for 106.3M views through two weeks, making it Netflix's third-biggest show ever through that time span.

Season 2 scored 4.9M views in the week to put it second among the top 10 non-English shows, while Season 1, which has been in the top 10 for over 30 weeks, added another 3.8M views. If you've seen the final episode [SPOILER ALERT], you'll understand why Netflix would like to keep the alley way open for potential spinoffs, such as the David Fincher-led project that Deadline told you about last year. Elsewhere this past week, The Old Guard 2 debuted at No. 1 on Netflix's English-language film list with 37.5M views. The original of the Charlize Theron-fronted action movie, which is based on the graphic novels by Greg Rucka, was released in 2020 so it's impossible to make comparisons. However, the original film did spent another week on the top 10 list with 9.5M views after adding 3.2M views last week.
