Chicago-bred hyphenate Jean Deaux has come through with her latest full-length offering via her Most Wanted EP. the new project follows up on a string of singles rom the past year, including “Belly,” “Streets,” and “Gang.”

While Deaux is known for her ability to switch it up seamlessly between rapping and singing, she allows sultry vocals to dominate this outing while veering occasionally on offerings like “Nothin 2 Do (wit me).”

This time around, she lasts for 8 tracks, bringing packing features from DESTIN CONRAD, Uno Hype, and Ambre two tracks, going the remainder of the ride solo. It’s a well-rounded follow-up to last year’s Watch This! project which took on a similar formula with collaborators Saba and Yung Baby Tate.

UK drill duo D Block Europe has ascended from the projects of South London to becoming one of the hottest hip-hop acts in the country. Young Adz and Dirtbike LB have produced banger after banger over the years while also pushing forward with their own solo efforts. Finally, they’ve reunited to deliver the sequel to 2019’s Home Alone. The title of the project was hinted with the release of “Kevin McCallister” earlier this year before they unveiled a slew of singles including, “No Competition,” “Lake 29,” and the Offset-assisted, “Chrome Hearts.”

Home Alone 2 is equipped with a lengthy 23-song tracklist with appearances from AJ Tracey, M Huncho, Central Cee, Tion Wayne, and more.

Over the past few weeks, Stalley and Apollo Brown have built an incredible amount of hype around their joint project. It began with the release of “Humble Wins,” followed by “No Monsters.” Then before coming through with their new project in its entirety, they offered fans another taste with “We Outside.”

Now, the rapper and producer team returned with Blacklight in full. Laced up with 15 songs in total, Apollo Brown and Stalley team up with artists like Joell Ortiz, Skyzoo, and even actor Omari Hardwick on the tracklist.

“When you shine a Blacklight, you tend to illuminate things that you can’t see with the naked eye” Apollo Brown said. “This metaphor speaks for you, others, and the world in general. Stalley effortlessly shines that UV all throughout the album.”

The legacy of Max B lives on while he’s incarcerated, though we’re fortunate enough that he’s had a vault full of music that has been holding down fans in his absence. The rapper dropped off Wave Pack the Goodman EP, and House Money the year prior. Now, he’s back with a brand new project titled, Negro Spirituals. The rapper’s latest body of work is 14 songs in total with appearances from Giggs, French Montana, and Raheem DeVaughn, who appears on the “Picture Me Rollin'”-sampled, “Don’t Make Me Cry.” 

“This shit is loopy,” Max described the project on Instagram. “Different sounds, different textures. Pain. You know, I’ve been working on this thing for four years.”

He’s a rapper on the rise who is hoping to carve out his lane in the industry and for his latest EP, Stoop Lauren partnered with 808 Mafia producer, Pyrex Whippa. The pair of artists have collided on the nine-track project Off The Stoop, and their collaboration shows that both have taken the knowledge they’ve acquired in the industry to create a project that Rap fans will enjoy.

Multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated Pyrex has been long established as a member of the popular production team founded by Southside and Lex Luger. He has helped craft tracks for Dreamville, DaBaby, Lil Yachty, and Lil Keed, and this time around, he teams with Stoop, a rapper whose musical influence derives from the personal impact of artists such as Jay-Z, Pharrell, and Ludacris. The latter is someone Stoop was able to glean wisdom from during his time in the industry.

Features on Off The Stoop include looks from DJ Drama, Childish Major, Sonny Digital, and Jace. Pyrex tackled production in its entirety as Stoop keeps things interesting by switching up his flow to keep listeners on their toes. Stream Off The Stoop and let us know your thoughts.

Lancey Foux is one of the most interesting artists coming out of the UK right now as he is known for merging rock sounds with UK hip-hop. The artist has also taken inspiration from artists in the United States, and he has used these influences to create something that is truly his own. Fans have been waiting for him to deliver his next project, and this week, he did just that with a 13-track effort called “LIVE.EVIL.”

The album clocks in at over 31 minutes long, and is filled with dope spacey tracks that feature a plethora of different flows and vibes. Lancey Foux seeks to prove his versatility on this project, and he does so by carrying the vast majority of the tape all by himself. There are only two features to be found here and they are from the likes of Lil Yachty and 24kGoldn.

This year, Kaytranada scored himself two well-deserved Grammys for his exceptional work on his sophomore studio album Bubba, and although his output has been frustratingly limited in 2021, the Canadian artist returns today with a brief, yet infectious new EP.

Serving as his only other solo release this year aside from the one-off single “Caution,” Intimidated is a three-track project that is laced with three hype-worthy collaborations. After popping up alongside Thundercat on H.E.R.’s Back Of My Mind standout track “Bloody Waters” earlier this summer, Kaytranada teams up with each of his recent collaborators once again, with H.E.R. contributing guest vocals to the EP’s title track and Thundercat singing his heart out on “Be Careful.” Kaytra also taps Mach-Hommy for a feature on “$payforhaiti,” making for a much-needed link-up between the two Haitian artists 

With all three tracks combined, the total runtime of Intimidated is less than 10 minutes, and although Kaytranada has been especially vague about the intentions behind his new EP, hopefully, the tracks will soon find a home on a proper full-length album. Do yourself a favor and dive into the Grammy award-winning artist’s latest project below, and after you’re done listening to it, let us know in the comments which collaboration you think was the hardest.

Tracklist:

1. Intimidated (feat. H.E.R.)
2. Be Careful (feat. Thundercat)
3.  $payforhaiti (feat. Mach-Hommy)
