CITY GIRLS – “TWERKULATOR”

BOBBY SESSIONS – “GOLD ROLEX” (ft. BENNY THE BUTCHER & FREDDIE GIBBS)
Dallas rapper Bobby Sessions follows a recent Megan Thee Stallion collab with a track featuring two of the best current ’90s-style spitters, Benny the Butcher and Freddie Gibbs. Benny and Freddie are both in top form on this song, and Bobby sounds pretty damn great himself.

Navy Blue just surprise-released a new album called Navy’s Reprise. The only way to hear the full album is by buying it at Navy Blue’s website, but he also released a video for “Ritual,” which you can watch below and read more about here.

POOH SHIESTY – “WELCOME TO RICHES” (ft. LIL BABY)

—
42 DUGG – “MAYBACH” (ft. FUTURE)
Detroit rapper 42 Dugg returned today with new album Free Dem Boyz, and it’s being led by the Future-featuring single “Maybach,” which comes with a video. “Maybach” finds Dugg’s infectiously off-kilter bounce in fine form.
—
LUKAH – “STIGMATA” (ft. BOLDY JAMES)
Memphis rapper/producer Lukah follows his very good 2021 album When The Black Hand Touches You with this psychedelic, lurching song that pairs Lukah’s aggressive raps with the calmer but just as deadly voice of Boldy James.
—
DARK LO & HARRY FRAUD – “MISSING SUMMERS” (ft. BOLDY JAMES, co-prod. DJ SHAY)
Boldy James also appears on this song off Philly rapper Dark Lo’s new Harry Fraud-produced album Borrowed Time, and the track also features co-production from the late, great DJ Shay.

—
POLO G – “GANG GANG” (ft. LIL WAYNE)
More Lil Wayne: the great, ever-rising Chicago rapper Polo G follows his chart-topping single “Rapstar” with the Lil Wayne-featuring “Gang Gang,” and it sure sounds like he’s another hit on his hands.
—
RMR – “VIBES” (ft. TYLA YAWEH)
“Rascal” hitmaker RMR continues to explore new musical avenues, and this new song finds him going for more of a straightup rap/R&B thing.

SMINO – “RICE & GRAVY”
St. Louis rapper Smino returns with a new track that finds him dishing out melodic sing-rapping over thick, rubbery, bass-heavy production.
—
SADA BABY – “LITTLE WHILE” (ft. BIG SEAN & HIT-BOY)
Detroit rapper Sada Baby is gearing up to release a new album called Him Not Them, and it’ll feature this new single that he made with Hit-Boy and Big Sean, whose Detroit 2 was a big influence on Sada Baby’s new album. He said to Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, “So I had a lot of songs that I played Sean, this stuff I had that day. And he was surprised at the different sh-t that I was sitting on. But in the same token, me hearing his album made me scrap everything that I had. As far as we’re going to structure these songs and then put them into the album. So nope. I scrapped it and set up fresh studio time in LA to start from scratch. And now I’m about 80% done. I got three more weeks of recording left. And then we going to pick 30 songs out of 225 songs, you know what I’m saying? And then the 15 songs that get the most picks are going to be the first 15 for the album. And then the second 15 that get the most are going to be the 15 for the deluxe. The rest of the songs I’m going to save them in the mix tapes for a 2022. Yup, 2022 I’m drop, three mix tapes in the summer.”

DMC AND THE HELLRAISERS – “HELLRAISER”
DMC and the Hellraisers is DMC of Run DMC’s new rap-rock band (also featuring current Life of Agony drummer Veronica Bellino). Run DMC were of course some of the first people to merge rap and rock, so it should come as no surprise that this is a fun, nostalgia-inducing song.
