James Brown Charts First New Hit in Years Thanks to Sample on 310babii’s ‘Bad’

March 11th, 2025

James Brown, the trailblazing Godfather of Soul who passed in 2006, places a new song on a Billboard chart for the first time since 1993 as his co-billed collaboration with 310babii, “Bad,” reaches No. 37 on the Rhythmic Airplay chart dated March 8. The new single samples Brown’s “The Boss” from his 1973 album, Black Caesar.⁠

“Bad,” released on HIGH IQ/EMPIRE, is the fourth Rhythmic Airplay hit for rapper 310babii, born Kameron Milner. His debut entry, “Soak City,” ruled the list for two weeks in March-April 2024. His follow-up track “Rock Your Hips” peaked at No. 2 last December, and his collaboration with Jaydon, “Ah! Ah!,” reached a No. 19 best last week (it slides seven spots to No. 26 on the current list.)⁠
