Iman Nunez x SWEATA Drop “bed-stuy baby”

Love doesn’t respect borough boundaries—and Yonkers emcee Iman Nunez proves it with his latest release. Fresh off the success of his emotionally charged single “Want Ur Luv,” Nunez continues to explore romance through a New York lens with “Bed-Stuy Baby,” a soulful ode to cross-borough connection that arrives complete with an official music video.

Featuring the smooth vocals of SWEATA and sleek production by Haysuse, “Bed-Stuy Baby” captures the uniquely New York challenge of maintaining romance across the five boroughs. SWEATA serenades a “Bed-Stuy baby” and an “A-Train queen” over a mid-tempo groove, emphasizing that whether it’s a late-night Uber or an express train ride, no distance is too great when you’ve found the right person.

The track balances vulnerability with determination, painting a picture of urban romance that anyone who’s ever crossed multiple subway lines for a relationship will recognize. It’s intimate without being overly sentimental, grounded in the real logistics of New York love.

Directed by Dre Hartwell, the official music video brings this urban romance to life with atmospheric precision. The visual opens with SWEATA delivering his melodies before introducing the woman who inspired the record. Throughout the piece, Iman delivers verses amidst shifting hues of deep orange and cool blue—a visual metaphor for the flickering NYC streetlights passed during those late-night commutes to see someone special.

“Hear the city in your tone, I know where you reside / I put your name on the list, you ain’t waiting in line,” Iman raps, blending his signature lyrical edge with a newfound melodic softness that showcases his artistic evolution.

“Bed-Stuy Baby” marks Iman’s second release of 2026 and serves as another standout in his evolving R&B-influenced era. The track follows a massive 2025 that saw the artist showcase his skills on BET’s 106 & Park and release the well-received collaboration “You and Me” with Abby Jasmine.

With each release, Nunez continues to prove that vulnerability and street credibility aren’t mutually exclusive. “Bed-Stuy Baby” is authentic storytelling wrapped in smooth production—exactly what we’ve come to expect from one of New York’s most promising voices.
