Big Sean and The Alchemist are back at it with ‘Together Forever.’ After a successful link-up on Larry June’s track last year, they continue to show off their chemistry. This smooth single from Sean’s upcoming album is worth a listen, especially for the hidden surprise at the end.
Chance The Rapper teams up with Joey Purp for ‘Bad Boys 2,’ drawing inspiration from the Will Smith and Martin Lawrence classic. This track is another peek at Chance’s highly anticipated project, though he’s careful not to call it an album.
Cash Cobain’s ‘Problem’ brings together a massive lineup of artists for an Avengers-level posse cut. Reminiscent of The Game’s ‘One Blood,’ this track could have been the anthem of the summer if it had dropped earlier.
Lupe Fiasco’s long-promised Child Rebel Soldier reboot, ‘Shrink,’ finally arrives. Although Kanye and Pharrell are absent, Lupe impresses by rocking a sample of Radiohead’s ‘Optimistic.’
Coi Leray takes a leaf out of 50 Cent’s book with ‘Not in the Store,’ showcasing her fashion and financial prowess over a Jersey Club-inspired Pharrell beat. This track ties into Pharrell’s partnership with Doodles for an upcoming NFT animated film.
Tory Lanez isn’t letting prison slow him down. His latest double offering, ‘Featherweight’ and ‘F&V,’ is part of his Prison Tapes series. These tracks highlight his versatility, showcasing his skills as both a rapper and a singer.
Mary J. Blige and Fabolous join forces on ‘Breathing,’ modernizing Biggie’s classic ‘Kick in the Door’ with a lush R&B twist. These New York legends prove their chemistry is still strong.
Doechii explores self-love and spirituality on her new track ‘SUNDAY’S BEST,’ featuring Fana Hues. This offering sets the stage for her upcoming project, Alligator Bites Never Heal, dropping at the end of the month.
Fivio Foreign and Kodak Black team up with a surprising nod to politics in ‘ONBOA47RD.’ Featuring a controversial opening from Trump’s inauguration, the track is bound to turn heads. But politics aside, the beat is undeniably strong.
Rylo Rodriguez’s ’85 Cutlass’ sees him navigating the highs and lows of the rap lifestyle over soulful production. Ironically, the video features a Lamborghini instead of the titular Cutlass.
Future, Playboi Carti, and Lil Yachty join Joy Orbison for ‘flex fm (freddit).’ This London-Atlanta collab blends house and dubstep vibes for a track that’s more suited for a rave than a club.
Blu & Exile call on Aloe Blacc for ‘Love Is Blue,’ kickstarting the rollout for their upcoming fourth album. This powerful track demonstrates their enduring chemistry and sets high expectations for the album.
This week’s lineup proves that whether it’s iconic collaborations or fresh solo efforts, hip-hop continues to thrive and evolve.
