BIANCA — BIA (Album)

BIA’s not just talking — she’s rapping about it. After weeks of industry chatter and subtle shots, she hit the booth and delivered her most polished project yet. BIANCA packs features from Key Glock, A$AP Ferg, Tyler ICU, Khalil Harrison, Denzel Curry, and Becky G. The Boston-bred star makes it clear: her energy is unmatched, her confidence unshaken, and yes — we’re still waiting for that official clapback she promised.

Fetty P FranklinFRANK (Album)

Straight street talk from start to finish — authentic, emotional, and sharp.

G Herbo featuring Jeremih – “Whatever U Want” (Single)

Herbo’s aggression meets Jeremih’s smooth vocals in a slick balance of Chicago grit and R&B flavor.

Infinite — Mobb Deep (Album)

Hip-hop purists, this one’s for you. Infinite revives the Mobb Deep legacy more than a decade later, honoring Prodigy and Havoc’s signature grit while updating the sonics for 2025. It’s classic Queensbridge storytelling — sharp, haunting, and undeniably influential.

CORINIAN — TiaCorine (Album)

From the cover art to the collabs, CORINIAN is pure heat. TiaCorine calls on Saweetie, Flo Milli, Smino, Wiz Khalifa, JID, and Pouya for a genre-blending ride that slides between trap, pop, and experimental rap. She’s in her own lane — and she’s flooring it.

Me My Songs & I — JayDon (Album)

At just 18, JayDon’s giving star energy that feels seasoned. His debut Me My Songs & I fuses smooth R&B vocals, sleek production, and lyrics that sound way beyond his years. He’s not just an artist — he’s a performer, a writer, and a mood. This is how new legends start.

after the sun goes down — Khalid (Album)

Khalid turns pain into poetry with after the sun goes down, a deeply personal project born from vulnerability and growth. Across 16 tracks, he reclaims his story, blending atmospheric production with that familiar soulful warmth that made him a global favorite.

Moo — DDG (Album)

DDG stays in his creative bag with Moo. Built partially live on Twitch, this project shows how far the YouTube-rapper-turned-artist has come. The production knocks, the bars connect, and the charisma is still top-tier.

BabyChiefDoIt – “Fried Chicken” (Single)

Playful, gritty, and catchy. It’s the kind of record that sticks after one spin.

Big Boogie – “Toot It Up” (Single)

A strip-club-ready anthem with infectious bass and Big Boogie’s trademark Memphis delivery.

Danger Mouse featuring Black Thought & Rag’n’Bone Man – “Up” (Single)

Soul meets grit. A masterclass in lyricism and production that hits on every level.

Fancy Some More? — PinkPantheress (Album)

PinkPantheress remixes her world — literally. Fancy Some More? reimagines her Fancy That album across two new discs, blending experimental pop and underground club sounds. Collaborations with Anitta, Nia Archives, Oklou, and Basement Jaxx push her even deeper into the alt-pop stratosphere.

Grit & Grace — Rich Amiri (Album)

Rich Amiri’s Grit & Grace feels like a level-up. He balances melodic trap energy with sleek pop crossovers, continuing the momentum from WAR READY. Singles “In & Out” and “Paranoid” already set the tone — and the full project delivers.

Lady London – “Ten” (Single)

Lady London stays undefeated with bars, presence, and precision. “Ten” is pure boss talk.

Lelo – “Big League” (Single)

High-energy flexing from an artist on the rise. Confident, clean, and radio-ready.

Lola Brooke – “Wassup Wit It” (Single)

Brooklyn’s own keeps her foot on the gas. Hard-hitting and full of attitude — Lola’s not letting up.

Part Of Me — A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie (Single)

A Boogie flips Mariah Carey’s timeless “We Belong Together” into a Bronx love anthem that feels nostalgic and new. Smooth vocals, smart sampling, and that signature A Boogie emotion — he’s officially back outside.

Put It On (Eat) — Queen Naija (Single)

Queen Naija steps into her next era with a dance-floor-ready bop that celebrates confidence and fun. “Put It On (Eat)” previews her upcoming EP 30 and marks her first release under Motown Records. Cute, catchy, and made for the girls — she understood the assignment.

PlutoPluto World (Album)

An atmospheric, spaced-out soundscape that pushes rap’s boundaries with cinematic production.

Ray Vaughn – “3PM @ DAIRY – A COLORS SHOW” (Single)

Poetic, raw, and intimate — this COLORS performance feels like a moment.

RussW!LD Deluxe: The Elephant & The Rider (Album)

Russ returns with a deluxe edition that dives deeper into his introspective writing and crisp production.

Sy Ari Da KidSy Ari Not Sorry 2 (Album)

A sequel that builds on his proven formula — confident bars, moody beats, and unapologetic storytelling.

wolfacejoeyy – “FMB” (Single)

Melodic trap with a bounce that’s perfect for the aux cord.
