Quality Control Music’s rising star Lakeyah is back to flex her talents on a new EP. It seems that the Milkwaukee-bred rapper has been putting in work as this project, No Pressure Part 2, arrives on the heels of the first installment of the same name. The previous effort was shared back in June, and it has been suggested that QCM & Co. are gearing up for a full-length from their “Female Goat.”

“No Pressure Part 2 is a natural follow-up to part one. While I was creating this EP, I wanted it to be a reminder of my lyrical ability and versatility,” Lakeyah said of her project. “I have songs for the girls, the culture I represent, and a song just in time for cuffing season!”

The 2021 Freshman Class spitter mixes things up on this EP, as her boastful bars can be found throughout; however, she toys with R&B production stylings that shed another light on how she approaches her flows. Features on the record include Flo Milli, Gloss Up, Lucky Daye, Icewear Vezzo, Peezy, Latto, and Layton Greene.

Stream No Pressure Part 2 and let us know what you think of Lakeyah’s latest.

Drill music has turned into the sound of New York City. Unfortunately, the city’s drill scene has also caused some significant backlash from city officials, from NYPD’s removal of drill rappers from the Rolling Loud line-up to Mayor Eric Adams who once said that he wanted to see the genre banned completely. 

Today, four prominent artists from the city’s drill scene joined forces for a new EP. Bronx’s Ron Suno, Dusty Locane, Onpointlikeop and Rah Swish just came through with their new project Say Dat. It’s an eight-song effort that fuses each of their styles together and represents unity in NYC. Each artist brings their signature style to the table for a short but solid body of work.

Toronto-based R&B singer Savannah Ré delivered her sophomore EP this New Music Friday. Titled No Weapons and including features from Dylan Sinclair and Mez, the new project includes six titles that have been described as “unapologetic testaments created during a period of self-reflection and discovery.” 

“No Weapons was written from the perspective of an ever-evolving woman brimming with confidence, clarity, and drive,” a press release reveals.

Previously released singles included on the tracklist are “About U,” “Last One,” as well as the incredibly catchy “Closure,” which landed on streamers back in the summer. As for new songs, Ré shared “Caution,” “Bands,” and finally, “WTF.”

“Say you want a bitch like me / Think I’m bad news, I agree,” the Canadian sings on the opening track, setting the tone of what’s to come on the following tracks.

On “Bands,” she saucily flexes, “I got these hoes twisted outta shape / I got these hoes bent up outta shape / To see a bitch winning / They’re jumping off the ceiling.”

It’s been three years since Ckay released “‘Love Nwantiti (Ah Ah Ah)” but the song remains a heavy-hitter that’s frequently in rotation, spawned many remixes and continues to have strong momentum on TikTok. Still, fans have anticipated a formal debut album from him and he didn’t disappoint. Today, he shared Sad Romance, a 12-song body of work highlighting his innate talents to craft a hit record effortlessly. Sad Romance was released via Warner Music Africa with appearances from Focalistic, Davido, Abidoza, Ayra Starr, Rosinia, and Mary Andrade. The project also includes the previously released hits, “Mmadu,” “You,” “Watawi,” “Emiliana,” and “Love Nwantiti.”

Baby Money was bubbling throughout 2021 before inking a deal with Quality Control at the top of 2021. He hasn’t slowed down at all since then. The Detroit rapper unveiled Easy Money shortly after signing with QC and his momentum hasn’t slowed down since.

This morning, the rapper arrived with his official follow-up, New Money. The latest project includes sixteen tracks in total with a run-time of nearly 40 minutes. Baby Money largely holds down the project on his own but the features he does have carry weight. Jeezy appears on “All Hustle,” while Mozzy and GT link up with the Detroit rapper on “Never Love Me.” Tay B also appears on “Been Rich.”
