Pharrell Willaims is one of the great creative minds in the music industry period. He is so effortlessly able to crossover between hip-hop and R&B. But, also do not forget the man knows how to craft a worldwide global pop phenomenon. He did just that with his most loathed hit “Happy.” It was everywhere. Weddings, the radio, family parties, movies, commercials, you name it, you could not avoid it.
It feels like it has been quite a while since Pharrell stepped foot into that lane. That is until just hours ago. He and the alternative band Mumford & Sons have been buddies for years but, they have not made music together. That all changed when they dropped “Good People.”
Listen To “Good People” By Mumford & Sons And Pharrell Williams
According to The X 105.9, this is Mumford & Sons’ first single in five years. As we mentioned, Pharrell and the collective have been close, and have been for about ten years. They have always had “mutual admiration and respect” for each other, which is great to see. Pharrell has production credits as well as some background vocals, but they complement the goal of the song. It has an inspirational message that solid people are finally getting the credit they deserve for being good human beings.

Quotable Lyrics:
And I’m done being tired, so right now I’m inspired (Welcome to the revelation) I was once underwater and now I’m on fire (Welcome to the revelation, jump) And I feel it in the air that Mother Earth ain’t steady Feel so alive even though times are deadly
Latto has been shaking up the hip-hop world ever since she stepped foot in the genre a few years ago. Furthermore, when you have a widespread fan base and have the hits under your belt like she does, fans are going to want more. The Columbus-born femcee did provide quite a bit of solid material in 2023. She was a part of some major collaborations with artists like Mike WiLL Made-It, Swae Lee, Jung Kook, Young Nudy, Sexyy Red, Jay Rock, and so many more.
The team-up with Jung on “Seven” became the fastest song to reach one billion streams ever. It took just three and half months to pass that mark, making it a truly remarkable feat. In terms of solo material, Latto delivered “Put It On Da Floor” and its sequel with Cardi B and “ISSA PARTY” featuring BabyDrill. It will be tough to top all of that success, but Latto is looking to go for it all in 2024.
DJ Akademiks shared a clip of the self-proclaimed best female rapper from Atlanta shooting a music video for a new single. There is no title confirmation or release date as of now. However, fans in the comments are digging what they are hearing. One says, “This sound good fr.” Another adds, “Latto the hardest female artist out rn.” Hopefully, this circles back to her and she gets this out ASAP.

Sauce Walka is one of the more underrated talents from Texas. He has proven that he can deliver his music in different ways. The 33-year-old veteran is not a one-note kind of guy and he proves that on his newest single. Currently, it is only available on YouTube, so if you want to listen to it, check out the link below. Sauce is throwing things back to the 90s with “Im Him.” It is a three-minute track that flexes his ability to spit with ease. You could say he is rapping like the rent is due on this one. Walka had the song produced by Daringer, who works on the Griselda label.
It may be a bit of an unexpected collaboration, but it works to perfection. Daringer brings a smooth, boom-bap flavor to the table, and Walka feasts on it. Excitingly, this is a teaser to the Houston native’s upcoming project for 2024. When it drops, it will follow up his lone 2023 LP, DAT BOY DEN. It will be tied into the albums named after him.
There is no release date yet, but we have confirmation from Walka on the title and that it is on the way. It will be called New Sauce City 2 and he includes it in the description box under the music video. “New Sauce City 2.” Coming Soon!” Fans are undoubtedly excited. One says, “Sauce and Daringer need to do a whole album together.” Another adds, “This s*** right here magic. Daringer went tf off and you already knew what Walka was finna do gotdamn hip-hop we still up in this mf.”

In April 2022, Saucy Santana took one of the biggest leaps of his career, inking a deal with RCA Records. Since, he’s gone on to release his hit single, “Booty” featuring Latto, “MATERIAL GWORRLLLLLLLL!” with Madonna, “Whole Family” alongside Flo Milli, and most recently, “Walk It Like I Talk It” to close out 2023. Other solo efforts to come from the 30-year-old last year include “Meet Me in Da Skreets” and “1-800-Bad-Bxtch,” though we haven’t heard a full-length project from him since 2021’s Keep It Playa featuring Rubi Rose, Kaliii, the City Girls, and BeatKing.
Earlier this week, rumours began circulating online that Santana and his label have parted ways. No formal announcement came from either party. However, internet sleuths noticed that the TikTok star is no longer listed on RCA’s website. “No matches for your search. Run it back,” a screenshot shared by @MobzWorld on Twitter/X shows the page saying. Instead of addressing the gossip, the “Walk Em Like A Dog” artist is showing what he’s got up his sleeve next.
Regardless if RCA is still backing Santana or not, he’s ready to make his presence felt this year. In the video above, he spits bars about his perseverance. “Tried to take me off track but I’m back / Still gettin’ to it, still gettin’ to them racks,” he confidently raps. “I’m the one that put these b**ches on the map / Got a message for my opp, better tell ’em Issa wrap.”
Since first making a name for himself in the entertainment industry, Saucy Santana hasn’t been one to shy away from controversy. It seems he’s bringing that trend into 2024, as the Connecticut native shared his dreams of having Lizzo sing the bridge of a song he’s been teasing on social media in recent weeks. Check out reactions to that news at the link below, and let us know if you’re looking forward to new music from Santana in the comments.
It is hard to keep track of all the talent that resides in Michigan. However, Icewear Vezzo still manages to stick out in some shape or form. The 34-year-old veteran from Detroit is back to offer a new single for his eager fan base. We say that because Vezzo has been relentlessly teasing his followers on social media with a tape that is called Live From The 6. It is all over his Instagram page. In his latest post, he says, “New video LINK UP TOP go run it up I promise Live From The 6 Coming Soon if yall want me to let it fly this month let me know ”
That is exciting to hear Vezzo say this. It has been a little over a year since Vezzo’s last project. It was a collaboration with legendary DJs Gangsta Grillz and Drama. That came through on December 9, 2022, and featured heavy hitters such as Future, Jerzy, Kodak Black, 2 Chainz, and more. Vezzo’s fans are certainly pushing him to get this album out ASAP because they are running up the streams on “Pouring Wok.”
Presumably a single from the forthcoming tape, it sees Vezzo rapping about women and the infamous cough syrup and soda mixed drink. He raps as if he is snoozing after cup after cup of lean. The beat is trap-influenced with droning synths eerily in the background. Currently, the song is gaining lots of plays on YouTube, with nearly 450,000 views in its short time online. Be sure to run it up so we can get Vezzo’s album!
What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Pouring Wok,” by Icewear Vezzo? Do you think he will deliver on his promise and drop his new project Live From The 6? Will this be his best single of the year, why or why not? With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Playboi Carti is an artist who has evolved with every single one of his albums. Although some critics panned him early on for his lack of lyrical prowess, there is no doubt that his music aged well. In an era where many artists have been forgotten, Carti has managed to obtain a cultish fanbase that heralds all three of his albums as classics. Firstly, you have his self-titled project from 2017, which gave us classics like “wokeuplikethis*” and “Magnolia.” Subsequently, “Die Lit” offered up some of Carti’s most ethereal tracks yet. From the intro “Long Time” to the ravenous banger “RIP,” Carti showed that he is not just a one-trick pony.
However, it was Whole Lotta Redthat showcased just how willing Carti is to change. “Rockstar Made” kicks off the album with blazing synths and hard-hitting 808s that mimic thrash metal aesthetics. Songs like “Stop Breathing,” “Jump Out The House,” and “New Tank” furthered this sound and made WLR a standout in Carti’s discography. In that same breath, it is also his most polarizing project. Why? Because it’s different. Instead of giving fans Die Lit Pt. 2, he offered up something that was made with his own tastes in mind.
It has been over three years since Whole Lotta Red and fans have been hungry for something new. Back in December of 2023, Carti revealed that his new album would be coming soon. The title: I Am Music. It is quite the declaration, although not a surprising one coming from the man who describes himself as a “narcissist.” Following this announcement, we got a now-iconic DJ Swamp Izzo-infused snippet and a new track that was posted on his second Instagram account. The title of the track has been disputed, however, it is now called “Different Day” after originally being called “Ur The Moon.”
Based on Carti’s recent concerts, fans were expecting a continuation of his Whole Lotta Red era. Instead, they got something completely different. On “Different Day,” Carti finds himself delivering some of the sharpest flows of his career. Moreover, he is now rapping over dark and brooding soundscapes that lean on being atmospheric. His voice is barely recognizable on the track, but it suits the production well. As one can imagine, this single confused fans, although his next track would act as an “aha” moment.
“2024”
With production from ojivolta, earlonthebeat, and Kanye West, “2024” is arguably the best of the five songs Carti has dropped over the past couple of months. While this song is much more uplifting thanks to the vocal sample and drum selections, Carti continues to experiment with his new register. His “put him on the news” refrain is catchy as hell, especially as it leads into his voice shift in the middle of the song. Here, he gives us the same voice he offered up on Travis Scott’s “FE!N.” It was a great choice as it almost feels like Carti is featuring his own alter ego on his song. Not to mention, it proved that “Different Day” was not a fluke. It was a declaration that this new era and new sound is what fans should expect from here on out.
Following the hype of “2024,” Playboi Carti returned with another brooding and sinister track called “H00DBYAIR.” With some of Carti’s best rapping of his career, it is clear that he was looking to make a statement here. “All my friends are dead, leave em in the cold, put em in the tundra” is an immediate rewind moment on the track. Carti’s lyrics have never elicited these kinds of reactions, although it’s clear he is looking to change that and it is certainly appreciated.
On New Year’s Day, Playboi Carti teamed up with Travis Scott for “BACKR00MS.” Much like the previous three tracks, the beat was lowkey and downright demonic. Carti delved deep into his lower register and even changed up his inflections to match the sinister energy of the beat. While Scott didn’t have much to say on the song, his flow was good enough to complement Carti’s vibe. What matters, however, is that it was yet another continuation of the new sound. While some of Carti’s previous projects have been all over the place in terms of sound, I Am Music is proving to be nothing but a bundle of cohesion.
“EVILJ0RDAN”
Lastly, Carti blessed fans last night with his fifth and most recent single of the rollout, “EVILJ0RDAN.” Upon listening to the track, you are met with production that will prove familiar if you’ve been staying up to date on the rollout. This is the track that went viral thanks to the DJ Swamp Izzo ad-lib snippet. Thankfully, the song lives up to the hype as Carti slides on the beat with menacing flows and the lyrics to match. It’s a song that aims to make a statement, and it succeeds.
Out of all of his new tracks, “EVILJ0RDAN” may prove to be the most effective thesis statement for his new album. It contains his new flow, his new penchant for lyricism, devilish production, and a hunger that showcases just how eager Carti is to elevate his standing in hip-hop. While some may not like this new direction, it is refreshing to hear an artist of Carti’s caliber change things up. With artists in every genre leaning on formulas that have stood the test of time, Carti is evolving…again.
Despite dropping these songs, there is still no release date in sight. Furthermore, he continues to delay his tour amid issues with his Opium signees, Homixide Gang. At this point, fans are in the dark, and they are hoping for the album sooner rather than later. After all, none of the singles are on streaming, and only two can be found on Carti’s official YouTube channel. However, the music has been so good that fans have been willing to look past this.
If there is one thing for sure, it is that this is Carti’s most exciting evolution yet. Sure, Whole Lotta Red was different, but it still made sense based on Carti’s previous works. Now, he is shifting his sound entirely and it’s paying dividends. Matched with unique visuals that boast a DIY aesthetic, it’s obvious the artist has a clear vision that could very well culminate in the best album of the year. On the flipside, this rollout could come back to haunt him. He has dropped five singles, and if continues down this trajectory, the album may lose its luster. Or, he could drop the album tomorrow only for the five already-released singles to be the only standouts. It’s a risk, albeit an exciting one. Only time will tell whether or not Carti sticks the landing.
Rap duo and real-life couple T H R O N E are looking to make their mark in 2024. The multicultural collective is made up of YVHIKV (yuh-hey-guh) and Hayatheus. According to an interview piece from Native Max Magazine they met in a recording studio around 2019 and their relationship grew stronger with music. YVHIKV hails from Dewar, Oklahoma, while Hayatheus, or “H,” grew up in Charlotte, North Carolina, and the Connecticut/NYC area. T H R O N E’s YVHIKV is Mvskoke (Creek) and “H” is German and Jewish.
Essentially, T H R O N E is one of the most interesting stories in hip-hop right now and no one really knows about it. However, they might grab some people’s attention with their newest offering “Truth Spoke Cold.” Part of the reason for that is because they worked with legendary Southern rapper Paul Wall. The single opens up with epic synths that lead into the rapping performances, which are all outstanding.
Listen To “Truth Spoke Cold” By T H R O N E, Paul Wall, And AYGR
It sounds very similar to Tyler, The Creator’s “RUNNING OUT OF TIME” in certain aspects, however, it is unique at the same time. Assumedly, the production comes from the third feature AYGR. However, this is not a lot of information about AYGR. Paul brings great lyricism to the table as he usually does. If you are looking to hear something a little different from the traditional hip-hop formula, give this a try. To learn more about T H R O N E, check out the rest of the interview below.

Playboi Carti is easily one of the most anticipated artists of 2024. Overall, fans want his album to drop as soon as possible. However, Carti knows how to tease fans and leave them wanting more. Since the end of 2023, he has been periodically delivering new singles for fans to listen to. For instance, he came through with songs like “H00DBYAIR,” “UR THE MOON,” and “2024.” Furthermore, at the start of the year, he came out with “BACKR00MS” which features Travis Scott.
Today, Carti revealed that he would be coming through with yet another song. This is his fifth single as part of this rollout, and no one knew what to expect. Well, at 9:30 PM EST, Carti took to his Opium Instagram account and dropped a song called “EVILJ0RDAN.” Upon hearing the beat to the song, you will quickly realize this is the infamous DJ Swamp Izzo snippet that came out long before “UR THE MOON” was even on anyone’s radar. Fans have wanted this song for quite some time, and they finally got their wish.
As you will hear, this track comes complete with some demonic production that is going to capture your attention. Like many of his other recent tracks, this offering contains some dark sounds that have Carti diving into his lower register. He is showcasing a sound he has never really experimented with before, and it is paying off big time. Fans are excited about this direction, and we cannot wait to hear what this album is going to sound like. Hopefully, we get a release date sooner rather than later.

UK drill is a subgenre that continues to be immensely popular. Rappers from the area that have transformed from a more niche audience to a global sound is quite vast. A couple of them that have been at the top of that list as of late include Dave and Central Cee. Their “Sprinter” hit from the summer of 2023 took over the charts and the radio. However artists like Unknown T deserve some more credit.
He has worked with some incredible talent on both the production and artistry side. Additionally, Unknown has also been releasing music for about the same amount of time as Cee and Dave. Furthermore, Unknown T is someone who likes to bring some different approaches to drill. His production choices are not always so heavy on the 808s and bass.
He shows that versatility on his third project Blood Diamond. Unknown T brings some sharp lyricism that cuts through some nice melodies. For example, check out tracks like “Time” and “WELCOME 2 MY STRIP.” The 24-year-old rapper recruits other great talent for this LP such as Knucks, Digga D, and more. Check out the album with the links above.

Danny Brown made a great comeback at the tail end of 2023. He came through with his first solo album in four years with Quaranta. It was a follow up to his 2012 record XXX to show how much he has gone through in his life in the last 10 years. The project had tons of standouts on it, including Y.B.P. with Bruiser Wolf.
On top of Brown’s solo work, he is also working more often with his label, Bruiser Brigade. Bruiser Wolf is one of his talents he is working up and he also hails from Detroit like Danny. Wolf shares more than just a hometown, though. His style is very experimental and underground. His cadence and flows are nowhere near conventional.
His influences are clear on My Story Got Stories, his second project in a very spare career. Bruiser Wolf also emanates E-40 with the sporadicity in his delivery. One of the wildest moments on the record has to be “2 Bad” with Danny and Zelooperz. He combines the beats from DMX’s “Party Up” and “1Train” by A$AP Rocky. It works out suprisingly well and is one you need to hear for yourself. If you looking for something outside the box, check out Wolf’s tape.
What are your thoughts on this brand-new album My Story Got Stories, by Bruiser Wolf? Is this the best body of work he has ever put out, why or why not? What songs are you gravitating toward so far?
