mixtape

Philthy Rich has maintained a strong grip on the West Coast. This year, he came through with the release of his latest project, Money Motivated in collaboration with Toodah Band$. Now, he’s returning with a brand new solo project titled, Solidified. It’s an apt title that declares his status in the game and the contributions he’s made in the West Coast over the years. 

Philthy’s latest project is 10 songs in total with a run-time of a little over 33 minutes. He does bring on a few collaborators to bring the project to life. Icewear Vezzo and Fmb Dz assist on the remix to “Get Paper.” Peezy, Reese Youngn, and Skeechy Meechy come through for the posse cut, “New Estate.” Other features on the album include Tripstar, Murdock, Visa, and more.

On his debut EP, Heartbreak Diaries, Fresco Trey has a lot to say about love, loss, and healing after being hurt by someone you cared about.

The 7-track project sees just one feature from Lil Tjay on “Feel Good,” otherwise, Trey carries himself (and his fans) through the tough times that can sometimes only be healed by music.

“My debut EP is out now everywhere…I love this project to death frfr,” the Memphis native captioned an Instagram post from the weekend.

“Go give it a listen. Shoutout everyone that made this happen. I love y’all.”

In a January interview with ONE37pm, Trey sounded incredibly excited about what he has in store and his major aspirations for the future.

“I’m from Memphis, where nothing is given, so it teaches us to go hard for everything you want. Plus, I know if you want to be a worldwide artist, you’ve got to move around the globe. We’re just starting,” he told Mike Boyd.

The singer has been releasing music and getting his foot into the industry for the last several years, but Heartbreak Diaries is arguably his best (and most vulnerable) work to date.

It’s been over a year since Shad indicated that a new album was on the way. The host of Netflix’s Hip-Hop Evolution has maintained a presence in Canada’s rap scene with his appearance on TOBI’s “24 (Remix)” which included a slew of Canada’s best rap talent. Slowly but surely, he’s unveiled new singles over the past few months to build anticipation for his next body of work. 

This week, the rapper returned with his latest sixth studio album, TAO. Laced with 12 songs in total, and appearances from Skratch Bastid, Yung Tone, Mah Moud, and more. The rapper explained how this project was largely inspired by the intent to bring hope to people following the tumultuous year we’ve had.

“That’s what I feel like I can contribute as an artist,” Shad told Exclaim! “I like to make people think but also laugh. I like to provide a spark of some kind of joy.”

Back in 2014, Andy Mineo released his album Never Land to great acclaim. In the years since, he’s attempted to drop his follow-up project, Never Land II on several occasions, only to face delays.

On October 1st, the 33-year-old was finally able to get his music out to the world.

“NEVER LAND 2 IS OUT!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!! ENJOY MY BABY AND BE NICE TO HER,” he captioned his celebratory Instagram post upon the album’s release.

On September 22nd, Mineo posted an IGTV explaining how he ran into some legal issues with the track “Been About It,” which ultimately resulted in the project’s delay.

“Kanye got nothing on my release dates. With my luck Kendrick will drop same day,” the New York native joked, poking fun at Ye’s chaotic DONDA rollout from this past summer.

RAY BLK has been teasing a new project over the past few months and finally, it’s here in all of its glory. The South London artist came through with Access Denied on Friday — a 14-song effort that puts a spotlight on her relatable songwriting, infectious melodies, and her ability to switch her rap flow on-and-off. The project is largely held down by RAY BLK but there are a few notable collaborations. Giggs appears on “Games” while Kojey Radical teams with RAY BLK on “Smoke.” Other artists who appear on the project are Kaash Paige, Suburban Plaza, and Stefflon Don. 

“I want people to listen to this record and value themselves enough to deny access to those who are undeserving, and to also value themselves enough to keep believing in themselves when they’re denied access to certain spaces and say yes to themselves when the world tells them no,” she said of the project. 

The Latin trap scene has been a dominant force in recent years with Farruko leading the charge. The Puerto Rican star has been delivering heat and extending his talents to collabs alongside David Guetta, CJ, Steve Aoki, and plenty of other names.

This week, Farruko came through with his latest body of work, La 167 alongside the debut of his new visual for the single, “El Incomprendido.” La 167 has a 25-song tracklist with appearances from Oneill, Daniel Habif, Dimelo Flow, Jay Wheeler, and many more. The latest project from Farruko serves as his first since delivering Gangalee and En Letra De Otro. 

With such a long tracklist, everyone’s bound to find at least one track on the project that they’ll return to. Check out the latest from Farruko below.

At the end of September, Benji dropped his debut album, Smile, You’re Alive! in collaboration with the rest of Spillage Village. The 13-track project also includes features from names like Jordan Hawkins, My Favorite Color, and Mars Jackson.

“A whole lot has happened since we were here last, above all I’m just very grateful to still be here to talk about it. S/o my team, my family, my friends, and my fans, and my city,” the artist captioned an Instagram post from earlier this week.

“This album means so much to me I don’t think anyone will truly understand. But from the bottom of my heart thank you,” he wrote to his fans.

“Who knows what tomorrow holds but we have right now to celebrate life and be grateful. If tomorrow comes, same thing. Make the most of it. Love always.”

Papoose has plans to retire the microphone for good. The rapper stated at the top of the year that 2021 would be his final year actively delivering bars for the fans. Thankfully, he’s unveiling a ton of new music before he makes his formal farewell. 

“To show my humble and sincere appreciation to all of my supporters and fans, I’ve decided to release a new project every month in 2021; with each project being titled after the current month. This is something I’ve never done before; but I’m excited,” he told Complex earlier this year.

September is the latest project from the Brooklyn MC. Laced with 8 songs in total, the project includes appearances from lyrical heavyweights such as Method Man, Cappadonna, and Lil Wayne.

Each project Pap’s dropped this year has gotten better and better. Press play on September below and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Booka600 has come a very long way in recent years. Previously, he was known to hip-hop fans as Lil Durk’s latest protégé, popping up in the background of his music videos and coming through in a support role. In the last few years though, Booka has made a name for himself, showing that he can also have a major impact on the music industry out of OTF.

The Chicago native continues to reach new levels in his career and he’s jumping over another major hurdle this week, dropping his new album LOYAL.

With the help of some big-name artists, like Lil Baby, Gunna, and his mentor Lil Durk, Booka600 comes into his own on his latest release. The fifteen-song effort sees Booka tapping into his emotions, bringing his own kind of melodic street rap to the forefront. You’ll learn a lot about Booka by listening — most notably, you’ll get a sense of how loyalty is the most important value for the OTF rapper. 

Check out LOYAL below.
