South Carolina has been a hub for some of the hardest rappers in the past few years. It’s in part due to the success of the South Coast Music Group camp and Arnold Taylor’s high standard in picking up new talent. In 2019, the label picked up on Blacc Zacc, who DaBaby has previously described as an artist that pushes him to go harder on the mic.

Zacc has been rather quiet over the past year with the exception of his collaborative project with DME, Walk Down Gang. However, he returned this week with a brand new banger called, “Dirty Money.” Produced by Neeko Baby, Zacc delivers an infectious ode to the trap house. 

Check out the latest from Blacc Zacc below. 

Quotable Lyrics
How you wanna talk to me? Lil n***a y’aint got no bands
You broke, that’s what you tellin’ me,
You cry, you ain’t got no celery
Hellcat do 200, in the car, ain’t no trailin’ me
Smokin’, burnin’ rubber, you can’t see me but you smellin’ me

It looks like Roy Woods season is coming up. The Brampton singer hasn’t released a full studio album in nearly four years but fans have not been without any new music. Over the years, he shared a handful of singles and his 2020 project, Dem Times that got many people through the pandemic. However, he’s also brought back the fan-favorite RoyMixes. Tackling some of the biggest songs out, Woods puts his own spin on the records and transforms them into something else.

This week, the rapper offered his formal remix of Justin Bieber’s summer smash, “Peaches.” Adding his angelic harmonics to the record, he brings a romantic side of himself on wax for his latest record.

The latest from Roy arrives after he released his remix of Drake’s “Girls Want Girls” last week. Keep your eyes peeled for more music from Roy Woods.

Quotable Lyrics
I told you ’bout that first class, V12
Showed you ’bout that life they wanted so bad
Showed me ’bout the worst side of you always

From the release of his cult-favorite 2013 debut, ALternative Trap to the release of 2020s Almost There, Lucki’s maintained a strong presence in the underground, even when he isn’t delivering music consistently. The trust he’s built between his fanbase and himself allows him to lay low for a while knowing that he’ll deliver with quality music.

It’s not uncommon, however, to find loose singles dropped on Soundcloud or YouTube. This week, he delivered a trippy new single titled, “New Drank.” With electrifying production contrasting his soothing delivery, the rapper dives into habits and adversities that he faces with a nonchalant attitude.

The rapper’s latest single arrives a few short weeks before he’s expected to hit the road on the Wake Up Lucki tour. The tour kicks off on Nov. 3rd in Worchester, MA before concluding in his hometown of Chicago, IL on Nov. 27th.

Check out his latest song below.

Quotable Lyrics
Need nobody, that’s obviously
Fan n***a turn to an opp with me
Somebody planning on stopping me
Let pops tell it, they be following me
I just be hopin’ that god with me
Can’t trust that hoe but she raw to me

It’s been a massive year for Soulja Boy; one that many wouldn’t have expected from him. The rapper made a triumphant return beyond just viral moments with his hit record, “She Make It Clap.” The song turned into a viral sensation that earned him yet another chart-topping anthem. As the year went on, he flooded the streets with more new music including his project, Big Draco.

Despite dropping upwards of three projects in a matter of a few months, Soulja Boy proves that his vault is loaded with new music that’s ready to be released. This week, he delivered a dreamy new record titled, “Big Racks” that finds Big Draco doing what he does best — stunting on all of his haters.

Check the record out below.

Quotable Lyrics
Buss down my wrist, I’m ’bout to flex the block
Band on my wrist, I’m ’bout to whip the pot
Racks! Racks, jumpin’ out the backend
What’s a hunnid racks? Talk into the club and I’m turnt up to the max

Gunplay came up in the game alongside Rick Ross and a member of the MMG camp. He was practically the wildcard on the label that was absolutely raw and authentic, yet that ultimately ended up being his downfall. In the past few years, he’s been delivering some new heat including a collaborative project with Mozzy in 2017, and the ANMLSHLTR mixtape back in 2018. Throughout all of that, he’s released several singles that have bubbled up on social media and YouTube. 

Over the weekend, the rapper returned with some new heat to formally introduce the ANML SHLTR collective, titled, “Pop Da Lock.” In typical posse cut fashion, each rapper takes turns swapping bars with Gunplay kicking things off at the top of the record. Felipe Luciano follows before other members of ANML SHLTR — Paso, Kano Brown, Tutu, Meddicine, Mic Mic, Trap Gawd Lito, and Young Breed — deliver unique flows and personality on the record. 

Check out “Pop Da Lock” below.

Quotable Lyrics
N***as hate to hear the hard truth
No 42, I got dog food, I fed gang
Wrong words get ya hangman’d
Dade County, I’m the bread man
Trap Gawd, I stand on it
If I give it to you, you can dance on it

WSTRN’s delivering a steady stream of heat this year. While it might have been nearly two years since the release of their last studio album, WSTRN Season, Vol. 2, the singles they’ve released have left us anticipating a follow-up. This year, they’ve blessed fans with singles like “Mama Stay,” “Be My Guest,” as well as “Wonder Woman.” This past weekend, they followed up the single with their latest offering, “Professional Love.”  Haile, Louis Rei, and Akelle Charles fuse the dancehall influences with tinges of electronic and funk for a breezy and groovy new single.

Hopefully, with “Professional Love” out now, the UK trio will bring something new to look forward to over the winter months ahead. 

Check out their latest single below and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics
I put my suit on so I look classier
Loud pack make you happier
She take any plantain, not the ackee, ah
Browning with the batty, ah

Reason really has an arsenal of bars in the cut that he’s ready to unleash at any point. This week, he joined the folks over at REVOLT for the latest episode of Off Top where he slaughtered one of the hottest records of the summer — Migos’ “Straightenin.” For roughly two-and-a-half minutes, the rapper delivers cut-throat bars asserting his dominance over other MCs. “Went from noodles to lobster/ Whether I’m walkin’ or dead, the competition, we could turn ’em to zombies,” he raps.

Reason has been largely in the cut ever since the release of 2020’s New Beginnings. Later this month, he’ll be joining a line-up of Flatbush Zombies, Earl Sweatshirt, Young M.A., Teezo Touchdown, and Nyck Caution in Morrison, Colorado for a special Halloween show.

Quotable Lyrics
I thought a rapper that talk about the same shit in every song said somethin’
She lick her lips and put her head in a ponytail, that’s when I know when the head comin’
From the bottom, took it overseas, all in-house, talkin’ quarantine
Dirty money, nah, sorta clean, more white than a corporate scene

DaBaby and the Billion Dollar Baby conglomerate are still keeping their foot on the pedal, despite a few setbacks over the past few months. Stunna 4 Vegas, specifically, has steadily delivered new music over the past few months with new freestyle videos. The rapper came through this past weekend with the release of “38 Freestyle.” Young Cutta delivers a hard-hitting instrumental as Stunna 4 Vegas’ animated flow cuts through with menacing bars with quick-wit.

Stunna has delivered a handful of actual singles since the release of 2020’s Welcome To 4 Vegas which featured DaBaby, Ola Runt, Murda Beatz, and Toosii. Perhaps, the release of his latest freestyle could be an indication that a new project is in the pipeline before 2021 comes to an end.

Check out “38 Freestyle” below.

Quotable Lyrics
She give me chills when I think about all this shit
Aye, my dog just got hit, I want to spark some shit
I almost lost my mom when I got that call ‘n shit
Make me wanna pick up my iron and get in that car and shit

Slimelife Shawty is on pace to become the next rapper to blow up from out of Atlanta, looking to level up this week with the release of his new studio album, titled Better Living.

The new body of work was announced on Monday with the release of “Suit Me Up” featuring Lil Durk. This marks the latest collaboration between Slime and his mentor. The OTF affiliate’s new album is set to include features from Future, Nardo Wick, Jackboy, and more.

“Suit Me Up” is one of the first singles to drop from the upcoming project, which has been announced for October 13. Check out the melodic new single below and let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics:

I went from honor roll to a gangster
I took my own road ’cause I’m a gangster
No I don’t own a hoe ’cause I’m a gangster

“You see the thing is, like, why would you wanna even like, even up the score? You should just double it, you know?” ShaqIsDope says at the beginning of his new single, “Re-Rock.”

The two minute and 57-second long track is filled with quick-witted, impactful bars. “Don’t forget me/I’ve been living sort of like the Book of Revalations/Lust, greed, falling on my knees/Tryna succeed, really had no patience,” the Toronto rapper spits.

The last time ShaqIsDope released an album was back in 2020 with the 10-track, featureless, Dark Days Ahead. Since then, he’s been steady dropping singles like “Blame Game,” “Cali Love,” and “Baddie (Break Her Heart).”

Back in July, Shaq shared a post to his Instagram page, letting fans know that he was “recording some fire” while in the studio. It’s unclear if the aforementioned heat was “Re-Rock,” but if not, we’d love to see a new album from the up-and-coming star soon.

Quotable Lyrics:

Don’t feel no pain, no gain

What you know about being damn near insane

What you know about people saying that they love you

And when it’s all lies you the only one to blame
