Last Friday, Atlanta lyricist GRIP delivered his Shady Records debut I Died For This!?, a project that features appearances from Eminem, Royce Da 5’9″, and more. For those newcomers who dove into the album following his Shady deal, it quickly became evident that GRIP is a beast when it comes to the bars — and given its early placement on the sequence, it’s likely that “Momma Told Me!” drove the point home with enthusiasm.

After warming up in the opening verse, GRIP proceeds to absolutely snap in the second, unleashing a barrage of clever bars over a futuristic banger by TU! and Beat Butcha. “Profit four Gs, then shop for gold teeth, never had a pops, you cannot control me,” he raps, locking into a whirlwind flow scheme. “Ni*gas take shots and get cropped, Adobe.” It’s really no wonder that Em saw such potential in GRIP, and it’s all too easy to imagine him beaming with pride upon hearing this one on the studio monitors.

Quotable Lyrics

All I gotta do is pop the clip in and “Click-clack”
Dismiss the chit chat, dismember clicques that
Assembled a diss track, I’d rather get racks
Sip ‘yac, I got problems, word to six-lack (6LACK)

Kanye West finally released DONDA yesterday morning and fans couldn’t be any happier. The rollout for the album was a turbulent one and there were some fans who were convinced that it would never come out. Now, we finally have the 27-track album and there are some incredible songs to sink your teeth into. One of those tracks is “Off The Grid” which is a banger that features the likes of Playboi Carti and Fivio Foreign.

The track begins with a chant from Kanye West who delivers fast refrains that sound rushed but not in a bad way. From there, a dope drum breakdown leads us into a spirited verse from Playboi Carti who flexes about his tattoos and his clothes. The real highlight of the song, however, is the second half when the drill 808s come in and we get a fantastic effort from Fivio Foreign. As many fans have pointed out, this is the greatest verse of his career and it’s impossible not to like what he does here. From there, Kanye comes back into the track and spits a plethora of bars that complement what Fivio did just bars prior.

If this track proves anything, it’s that Kanye’s still got it, and that he is able to blend artists together like no one else.

Quotable Lyrics:

Don’t try to test me, I keep it clean, but it can get messy
I talk to God everyday, that’s my bestie
They playin’ soccer in my backyard, I think I see Messi
And this money could never neglect me

On any given day, Money Man can come through with some new heat. It’s often the case, even after releasing projects like State Of Emergency. His hustle is truly unmatched and it shows on each record. His consistency has helped him build a strong and dedicated fanbase that are always seeking new music.

This week, he returned with his latest single, “Pay The Price” where he reflects on the risk and rewards of the streets. “If I don’t make it home tonight, make sure my kids straight,” he raps over acoustic strings and thumping bass. The rapper explores anxieties and volatility that comes with the streets and how that affects aspects of his life, like relationships and family.

Check out the single below.

Quotable Lyrics
I own nearly 50 guns, I should join the NRA
I made least half a mill, compliments of SBA
I know that jealousy probably eating you alive
Last year, she saw me down, this year she probably wish she were minute

It seems like there’ll be a never-ending stream of new music from Lil Yachty this fall. The rapper is fresh off of releasing Birthday Mix 6 which he shared earlier this week, and now, he’s back with his latest banger, “Tunde.” The rapper grapples electrifying, high-energy production with autotune-laden flows with braggadocious bars. The record might be a loosie but there’s no doubt that it’ll likely set it off at every single upcoming show he has scheduled.

The release of his new track comes hours after his appearance alongside Rooga on Kanye West’s “Ok ok” off of DONDA. Initially debuted at the second Atlanta listening party, Yachty certainly won over a few haters with his performance on the record.

Quotable Lyrics
N***a like me can’t get laid off
N***a like me never lay up
How a n***a die on his day off?
New F&N with the top off 

Belly took a bit of a break from the rap game for a few years. The Canadian rapper revealed in an emotional post that he had been working through some personal issues but thankfully, he capped off the note with the announcement of new music on the way. In the past few months, he’s unveiled a slew of singles that led to the arrival of See You Next Wednesday. The rapper’s new album boasts appearances from  The Weeknd, Nas, Young Thug, and others but, he also came through with a moody banger alongside Nav. The two take inspiration from Requiem For A Dream for their song, “Requiem” which appears to also includes additional vocals from The Weeknd.

Peep the record below and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics
Passport stamped out, she ain’t got no more pages 
Seats peanut butter and I put her on a PJ
Found out she a freak and she down for the three-way
Shawty my twin, we do everything the same way

Riding Philadelphia artist Lil Muk has been making a name for himself thanks to some emotionally honest tracks that speak about street life and the pitfalls that lifestyle can lead to. Overall, Muk has proven to be a solid artist who can spit bars and sing melodies, which is the type of versatility you need to stay relevant in today’s landscape. This past week, Muk came through with his latest effort “See Me,” which features a sample of Fantasia’s “When I See U.”

Earlier this year, Foolio used this song as a diss towards Yungeen Ace, although with Muk’s song, he looks to take a more positive approach. Throughout the song, Muk sings about the things he has been through and the struggles he pushed through in order to become the man he is today. It’s a powerful track that will serve as the perfect introduction to the artist if you’re not familiar with his work.

Quotable Lyrics:

Yeah I had a chance, took advantage, what you mad for
They don’t see the struggle, just these Gucci’s I paid cash for

What’s now considered the Detroit sound is taking over the rap game, thanks to Helluva. The chilling bounce that serves as the backdrop to many Tee Grizzley records has helped Detroit usher in a new era in hip-hop. We’ve seen plenty of new acts emerge who Helluva has assisted but it seems that he’s positioning himself to take on the role of a lead artist. 

This week, Helluva slid through with a statement on his latest release, “No Membership,” with the help of GMO Stax and Deeze. Cold piano and thumping bass kicks off the record as GMO Stax and Deeze offer a candid look into the streets of Detroit.

Check out the latest offering from Helluva below and keep your eyes peeled for more releases.

Quotable Lyrics
Put em on your ass or call it off just like the president
Come and get your mans, he rap about trappin’ but ain’t sellin’ shit
N***a, that’s the gang members only, ain’t no membership

Chicago artist Joey Purp has cultivated some dope sounds over the years and he is an artist who always pushed himself creatively. Recently, he has been gearing fans up for some new music, and they were excited to listen to what he had in store. On Thursday, he finally came through with his latest effort as “CANDYPAINT” was released to the world.

As you will hear, this track has a very bouncy sound to it and it’s all tailor-made for the club. Lyrically, Purp floats on this track as he delivers some stripper-inspired bars that fit the production perfectly. It’s a song that is catchy which means it also has great replay value.

Quotable Lyrics:

All the bad girls put your hands up
North side, south side, west side, stand up
Shake it like the popstar that you a fan of
Get up on stage throw that ass like a dancer
