Zoe Osama Taps Tons Of West Coast Icons For “From The Eastside With Love”

by

Zoe Osama has been forging his own sound in the West Coast scene for the last four years. His brand is having an absolute blast all while sounding pretty different than his competition. His delivery is typically pretty animated, which is fairly normal sight out in California. However, unlike some artists, his unusual cadence is not a copycat of anyone else’s. It is why songs like “Underrated” are hitting for him and still are today. Speaking of that track, it lands on Zoe Osama’s latest offering, From The Eastside With Love.

This album ends two years with no LP, as his last was January 2022’s Underrated. It is quite odd that a two-year old track like “Underrated” is on this newest outing, but Zoe Osama seems to be very happy with the song’s results. He certainly should be, as it has racked up over 32 million streams and is his most popular record to date. In fact, he doubles on how vital it has been for him by adding a remix with fellow West Coast G.O.A.T.s Snoop Dogg and E-40. However, Zoe has much more to offer on From The Eastside, so be sure to give it a spin.

Flau’jae Drops Her Biggest Project To Date With “Best Of Both Worlds”

by

“I love combining my two talents. Best of Both Worlds shows you don’t have to choose one path—you can excel in multiple arenas”, Flau’jae said in a press release according to Complex. “This project reflects who I am — a basketball player, a rapper, and someone who refuses to be put in a box. I hope my fans can feel the passion and dedication I’ve poured into every song”. The LSU Tigers junior guard has been one of the main stars of that basketball program. If she decides to enter the WNBA Draft, she will for sure be a face of that league as well. However, as she stated, Flau’jae is not settling for one career path.

Over the last few years, Ms. Johnson has been ramping up her musical activity. Most of the progress has been made through singles and EPs. But helping propel her forward have been some faces that hip-hop fans will recognize. For example, leading up to the release of Best Of Both Worlds, Flau’jae got in the studio with 2Rare and NLE Choppa for two out of the five promotional tracks. As a result, both have become two of her most popular songs on streaming. Additionally, she had the opportunity to work with a Louisiana legend in Lil Wayne for “Came Out A Beast”, which is also popping off right now.

Overall, Flau’jae has the talent, the star power, and the connections to really grow her platform in the rap industry. We do not have a lot of female basketball players that can also spit, so she is becoming a pioneer right before our eyes. What has also been a cool byproduct of Best Of Both Worlds for her is that she now has a podcast of the same name. According to Sports Illustrated, it is co-hosted by her mother and is receiving backing from the major sports media outlet, Overtime. If you want, you can check out Flau’jae’s first episode with WNBA great Breanna Stewart.

Kota The Friend & PRICE Link Up For Concise Seven-Track EP “SANCTIONED VOL. 1”

by

Kota the Friend is a rapper you go to for relax vibes and solid rhymes, and that is what he is providing on SANCTIONED VOL. 1. For the New York rapper, this is project number two for 2024, superseding his January tape, Lyrics to GO Vol. 5. That is the latest entry in that halo series for the “Colorado” lyricist and it was yet another business-as-usual kind of project. There are not many more rock steady spitters that Kota and it just feels like he never really flops on any occasion. On this seven-song EP, he is joined by a California artist by the name of PRICE (Price). He also goes by Pricetag and he is one half of the Audio Push tandem and works alongside Oktane.

Sadly, though, it appears that Oktane and PRICE are not too eager to release music together. The last time the hip-hop community heard anything from them was 2020 for a single called “Time To Listen”. You have to go back another year for when they dropped an album. That would be 2019’s Audio Mars. Conversely, PRICE is still active. He began releasing solo material right around the time Audio Push stopped. In fact, he also came through with a project in January too, putting out C.I.T.Y. and it’s deluxe. Maybe PRICE has a new permanent partner in rhyme with Kota the Friend, because SANCTIONED VOL. 1 sees them piece together poised performances.

Previous Industries Dissect Terrific Abstract Productions On Their Debut Tape “Service Merchandise”

by

Previous Industries may be the so-called new kid on the block when it comes to hip-hop groups. However, the chemistry that Open Mike Eagle, Video Dave, and STILL RIFT showcase on their debut album Service Merchandise, is quite impressive. To some that may be a surprise. But all three guys have been rapping for years and sharing that Chicago connection helps as well. It is why this uniting of underground talents is such a W, as the trio displays patience with each other. It never feels like either of them are stepping on one another’s toes. They swap out at the perfect time every time, so the guys all receive the ideal amount of time to show off their rhymes. Previous Industries has been working toward Service Merchandise for a little bit now after announcing that they would be joining forces in January.

On top of this bombshell, they got right to it, dropping their inaugural singles, “Showbiz” and “Braids”. Then, about three months later, Previous Industries would release “Pliers”, followed by “Zayre” in June. All four singles were pretty stellar, and they accurately depict what you are getting from them on the LP. That being surgical rhyme schemes and bars over jazzy and abstract instrumentals. Speaking of the latter, each one carries a unique personality. Whether it be the actual instruments or the incredible sample flips, Previous Industries are providing listeners with creatively lush soundscapes for 11 cuts. Give Service Merchandise a whirl if you are looking for engaging underground excellence.

Amaarae Thrives In Yet Another Genre With “Roses Are Red, Tears Are Blue — A Fountain Baby Extended Play”

by

Amaarae, the Ghanian-American singer with the voice of a siren, is back. The 30-year-old songstress is revisiting her critically-acclaimed sophomore album Fountain Baby and tacking on several new songs to it. This now makes it a double-disc LP, and it comes just over a year after the original. The Bronx native is now referring to it as roses are red, tears are blue — A Fountain Baby Extended Play. Overall, these seven tracks see Amaarae lean into the culturally rich Afrobeats genre even more so.

There are hints of her working with this palette on the original 14-track set. Songs like the irresistible “Angels in Tibet” and “Co-Star” are just a small sample size. However, they are explosive pop bangers, and the roses are red version just provides more of those kinds of tracks. Conversely, the vibe on this new disc is more lowkey but similarly alluring. Amaarae is proving to be one of those artists that needs to be on your radar if she is not already on it. Her boundaryless approach to making music makes her such a threat to all of the mainstream powerhouses and that sexy, high-pitched voice is also instantly recognizable. Watch out for Amaarae and check out roses are red, tears are blue below.

MGK Gets Extra Personal On “Hotel Diablo: Floor 13 Edition”

by

MGK is at an interesting point in his career. He found success as a rapper, then pivoted to pop punk. Now, he’s attempting to combine these genres into something uniquely him. The standard version of Hotel Diablo was mostly successful in doing this, but the deluxe version, aka Floor 13 Edition, proves that there’s even more to MGK’s stylistic fluidity than originally thought. There are six extra songs on Hotel Diablo: Floor 13 Edition, and they showcase impressive range in terms of tone and topic. The Ronny J beat on “El Pistolero” is going to make it an obvious standout for rap fans. It’s one of the best songs on the whole album.

Things get woozier and more reflective as the Floor 13 Edition wears on. “Bullets with Names” carries over the horns from “El Pistolero,” but have a more wistful feel to them. MGK also manages to secure a solid Young Thug feature. “FLOOR 13” is a live performance of the titular song, and it showcases MGK’s abilities as a rhymer and rocker simultaneously. The fans who like Tickets to My Downfall MGK will adore the last couple songs on the album. They are remixes of pre-existing Hotel Diablo songs, but the “sad version.” There’s acoustic guitars and dramatic strings added to “I Think I’m OKAY” and “Glass House.” The former is more successful, thanks to the YUNGBLUD feature, but all the “sad versions” are solid in their own right. Overall, an improvement on the original album.

YTB Fatt Stays Hot With 19-Song Tape “On Zai”

by

10k Projects signee and Arkansas rapper YTB Fatt has been on an extremely prolific run as of late. In fact, there might not be anyone from the area that is hot as him right now. GloRilla is right there with him too, so it close. But with Fatt being more of an up-and-coming name, we might give him the nod slightly. He made his way onto the Southern rap scene just last year and with every release he manages to increase his following. This weekend, YTB Fatt is sure to gain more fans after dropping another new album, On Zai.

After leaving off Foxes Only in December, the 23-year-old is making sure he keeps his name on fans’ minds. What is so incredible about On Zai is that YTB Fatt put out so many singles ahead of it. However, only two of them, “Get Up On It” and “Score” made the cut. Although, he did put out six more within the two days before the tape’s release today. It is clear that he is sitting of piles of heat, as any one of the tracks that did not land on the album could have. Artists like Lil Baby, Rylo Rodriguez, GloRilla, Blac Youngsta, and NoCap are on the YTB train and so should you.

Ken Carson Lets “A Great Chaos” Rage On With Seven New Deluxe Cuts

by

It took just a couple of weeks after the release of A Great Chaos for Ken Carson to start thinking about dropping a deluxe. According to Genius, the Atlanta, Georgia rage rapper teased this possibility at various points from Halloween and through June 8. He mostly did so via Twitter (now X), but also through an IG page dedicated to the album called agreatchaos. From teasing tracks to previewing some deluxe-specific merchandise, Carson was adamant to get this done. Well, today is that day as he had added on seven tracks, with “overseas” being the only single from the bunch.

The fresh titles include “loading”, “more chaos”, “toxic”, “leather jacket”, “mewtwo”, and “ss”. None of them mess up the sequencing, as they are placed after track 18, “i need u”. However, if you are an Apple Music listener, there are actually 28 songs. However, the three extra add-ons are music videos for “Succubus”, “Fighting My Demons”, and “Jennifer’s Body”. All of these additions are out at just the right time for Ken Carson. He will be heading out on a lengthy Chaos World Tour starting on July 8. Orlando, Florida will get the first taste of him live, and Prague will be the last ones to experience the chaos on October 5.

He returned home last year after spending nearly two years behind bars and wasted no time getting back to work. Today, he delivered 4eva Us Never Them, a 21-track project jam-packed with high-profile features. Sexyy Red, Jeezy, EST Gee, Lil Baby, and more make appearances.

He starts the album off strong, delving into his legal woes, his comeback, and more on the intro before moving onto high-octane cuts like “Win Wit Us” and “4×4.” The rapper slows it down on “Fresh From The Feds,” reflecting on his return from prison. He proceeds to take things up a notch on “Case Closed” alongside Rylo Rodriguez. Collabs with Sexyy Red, Jeezy, Lil Baby, and more give the project some sonic diversity, proving that he can blend his style seamlessly with nearly anyone.

Overall, 42 Dugg strikes a solid balance of deep, introspective tracks and light-hearted bangers on the LP, showing off his versatility and making for an impressive solo debut. 4eva Us Never Them follows his last full-length project with EST Gee, 2022’s Last One Left, as well as various singles.

DC The Don Channels The Sounds Of Travis Scott & Rage On “2012” EP

by

Milwaukee, Wisconsin underground multi-talent DC The Don is getting fans ready for a new album with this brand-new, three-track EP, 2012. The auto crooning rapper has been making waves for a couple of years now due to his atmospheric aura. He blends emo, R&B, rage, and psychedelic trap together, as he usually emanates the styles of your favorite superstars. Whether it be Juice WRLD, Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, or Lil Uzi Vert, he has covered all their respective sounds numerous times. This time with 2012, DC The Don is replicating La Flame and Yeat mostly. Even though you can check out this aesthetic from other artists, he does still come across as engaging and full of energy. The track we are currently enjoying the most so far from this tape is the closer “IDK IT DEPENDS”.

The instrumental creates an incredible atmosphere, and it may be the highlight of the song. It is warped, aggressive, and feels grand in scale. DC’s animated adlibs that are reminiscent of earlier Travis are also a nice extra layer. If the mission of this track was to be a banger, then it passes with flying colors. Fans also seem to agree that this is the best of the trio, as it already has over 146,000 streams since its release this weekend. However, the tandem of “MR.” produced by Supah Mario (Young Thug, Drake, Lil Uzi Vert) and “FULLY LOADED” are more than serviceable. As we mentioned, 2012 is just a pre-cursor for DC’s fourth album which will be called REBIRTH. It does not have a release date yet, but we think it will drop in the next couple of months.
