Lil Bean has been a buzzing force out of the Bay Area in recent times. Over the past few years, he’s dumped out a ton of music that’s helped him build a massive regional buzz that recently propelled into nationwide recognition. In August, he slid through with his latest body of work, Still Campaignin’ — a 20-song project with features from Jackboy, ShooterGang Kony, and more. A little over two months since that project was released, and he’s keeping the fans’ thirst for new music satisfied with the release of CARE PACKAGE 4 THE STREETS. The rapper’s latest project is 12 songs in length and finds him reconnecting with a few frequent collaborators such as Lil Pete and ZayBang.

Check out the latest from Lil Bean below. 

Over the past few months, Jay Worthy’s been taking an interesting route in releasing new music. He’s dropped two-song packs every few weeks since mid-September, culminating in the release of his latest project, Two4Two. The rapper’s new project includes six previously released singles, along with two bonus tracks produced by Sean House. DaM-Funk, DJ Mr. Rogers and Leven Kali also boast appearances on the project. Other appearances come from Sadat X, Budgie, Droop-E, Mitchy Slick, Lil Boss, Na-Kel Smith, and Wallie The Sensei.

“Less then 24 hours I can’t thank y’all enough this shit wild to me and to think I released a song that was 9 years old on here just goes to show you that good music is timeless I know what me and Sean created was built to last fr fr,” the rapper wrote a day after the project’s release.

Felly’s slick wordplay and smooth flow have shined since his debut project, Waking Up To Sirens. However, like most artists, he’s grown and matured over time. His 2016 EP Young Fel offered a better glimpse at his growth as an artist and in many ways, broke him out in front of a wider audience. He’s certainly pumped out tons of music since then but this week, he returned with Young Felly 2. The project is 14 songs including the previously released singles, “Pot Of Gold” and “Still Young.” 

“been working on this project for almost two years. it has seen many different versions I can’t wait to share the final one with you. you’re gonna feel a lot through it,” he wrote of the project before its release.

Harlem’s own Snubbs is bringing the sound of drill to his stomping ground. The rising rapper has been putting in work over the past few years. In 2019, he dropped off his EP, #4THQUARTER including the song, “Stepdad” and quickly followed it up with a deluxe version with an additional three songs.

Now, the rapper is back with a brand new boy of work titled, Loyalty Is A Action. His new project is 10 songs in total with appearances from a slew of collaborators. Snubbs connects with De’Rez Deshon on “Way Up” while he later reunited with Ghosty for their banger, “Blocc Work.”

Check out the latest project from Snubbs, Loyalty Is A Action below and sound off in the comment section with your favorite track off of the album. 

Willie The Kid and V Don are no strangers to working with one another – the pair have previously collaborated on projects like Deutsche Marks, Blue Notes, and Deutsche Marks 2. Now, they’re back with a short and sweet EP, titled Catch Me If You Can.

The new release is made up of just four tracks, but V Don’s smooth production and Willie’s lyrical wit make the minutes feel like seconds. For fans of this unstoppable match, 10 minutes of new music doesn’t feel like nearly enough.

While V and The Kid carry 3/4 tracks on their own, they brought in Sauce Heist to assist with “American Me / Skyfall,” the project’s third track. On past works, they’ve also linked up with Eto, Vado, Jai Black, Flee Lord, Da$H, and more.

“You lucky bastards,” Willie captioned an Instagram post from last week, letting followers know that they’d be getting new music from him and his producer pal on Friday. “Can’t f*cking wait,” many of the replies read.

While promoting Catch Me If You Can on his page, V Don let. his followers in on a little secret. “ON ALL PLATFORMS NOW !! YOU CAN LET THIS PLAY STRAIGHT THRU AS IF ITS ONE SONG,” he revealed.

HDBeenDope has been a fixture on the East Coast for the past five years. His penchant for storytelling over infectious production was what captivated fans with his 2016 debut album, PHeace Be The Journey. However, the amount of music he’s released has captured his growth and maturity since emerging as a teenager. Last year, he slid through with his latest body of work, BrokeN Dreams.

HDBeenDope has no intention of slowing down. On Friday, the rapper returned with a brand new EP for his fans titled, Side A: The Preface alongside Earl On The Beat. The two artists deliver a quick four-song EP including appearances from Landstrip Chip and Maeta.

Vancouver-based First Nations duo Snotty Nose Rez Kids came into 2021 strong after the release of Trapline at the beginning of the pandemic. As things are opening up, they’ve returned with their latest body of work, Life After. The rap duo, consisting of Quinton “Yung Trybez” Nyce and Darren “Young D” Metz, deliver 13 songs in total with appearances from Just John, Polo Brian, ebonEmpress, and Jenny Lea.

“This one is definitely a lot darker than our other albums, but that just fit the vibe, you know?” Young D told Exclaim! “Especially living in a literal fucking pandemic, we felt like, ‘Okay, this is right, and the time is now to put out something like this because we know a lot of people will relate.'”

Check out their new project below. 

On October 22nd, Alabama native Luh Soldier released Keys To The Streets, which includes top notch production from legendary beat maker Zaytoven on all 10 tracks. The project also includes features from Blac Youngsta, Starlito, and BIG30.

During a recent sit down with Flaunt, the 21-year-old opened up about what it was like to collaborate with Z. “He really tapped in, and I tapped in. He knew who I was and I knew who he was,” Luh Soldier shared. “Shit let’s make a tape and let’s make it make sense. That shit right there is crazy. Zay’s a good guy for sure,” he said, before adding that working with Zaytoven was a “meaningful” experience.

The idea for the project came after Soldier used one of Zay’s beats on his friends tape, Gorilla Warfare. The track turned out great, so more beats were sent his way, and eventually Zaytoven suggested that the two put together an entire album.

“He told me to make 30 to 40 songs and that’s exactly what I did. He said ‘I’ll just pick my 12 songs.’ He really gave me the blueprint on how him and Future work, or how him and other thriving artists work. I’m not doing nothing but getting the game from the OG,” the rapper told Flaunt.
