It looks like Headie One might have a new project in the pipeline. The rapper continues to ride high off of the success of 2020’s EDNA which boasted features from artists like Drake and Future, among other staples in the UK drill scene. Along with a slew of excellent guest appearances, Headie One’s picking up the pace. He dropped off “Pound Signs” earlier this year, followed by its official remix with J Ramms. Now, he’s back in action with another banger titled, “2 Chains.” Taking on eerie drill production, Headie One reflects on life on the road and his success in rap. With references to North London’s football team Arsonal and his appearance at the BRITs, the latest single from Headie One is simply a sign of levelling up.

Quotable Lyrics
All of this beef, we should’ve been vegan
All them opps, the manna like thievin’
Bought that broom, manna weren’t sweepin’
Some of these lucky they’re breathin

Coming out of Jacksonville, Nardo Wick has already amassed a fairly large fanbase and with each new release. he offers up some exciting songs that feature menacing bars and aggressive laid back flows.

On his new song “I Be Chillin,” Nardo Wick is able to continue his winning streak with another dope banger.

Lyrically, the artist is looking to flex while also showing that he has the street cred to back up his talk. It’s a solid effort from the young artist, and one that you can check out, below.

Quotable Lyrics:

Shot him like an IV
Get your bitch she like me
She says you want to fight me
We all know what that means

Both artists describe the pain they’ve been through while also painting vivid pictures. Overall, it’s a phenomenal effort and one that will certainly get fans excited for more collaborations in the future.

Quotable Lyrics:

And I was ridin’ in that Wraith, you told me keep it goin’
I wasn’t puttin’ shit passed, damn, I knew it was comin’
I could tell the devil passed and I see his horns
I could see the rain passin’, I’m in a storm

In the years that Canadian rapper Belly has been absent from the game, the anticipation surrounding a new release grew. The rapper revealed a string of personal issues that impeded his career but the message he sent was one of hope to help uplift his fanbase. The campaign kicked off at the top of the year with “IYKYK” before dropping hits alongside Moneybagg Yo and Benny The Butcher.

Though the more notable collaborations on the project come alongside artists like The Weeknd and Nas, Belly collides with Big Sean for their new track, “Scary Sight.” Produced by The ANMLS, Sean takes control of the majority of the song, handling both the hook and the first verse before Belly lays it down on the latter half of the record.

Quotable Lyrics
I rest when I’m dead and buried
Put my bed in the cemetary
One man, military
I found out the love was just temporary
My life is a movie, Hereditary

There are few rappers who’re able to curate an album quite like Westside Gunn. While his technical proficiency is top-tier, he’s created a Griselda Universe of sorts that expands with each collaboration. On Friday, he dropped off his latest project, Hitler Wears Hermes 8: Sincerely Adolf which largely consisted of excellently curated collaborations. On track 8, he pairs his talents with Jadakiss and Stove God Cooks for the record “RIGHT NOW.” Denny LAFlare cooks up a lounge jazz-infused production with woozy synths that you’d expect from a Tyler, The Creator joint.

Westside Gunn brings it back to ’95, detailing run-ins with the law to his newfound wealth that’s bought him “a castle, it look like Art Basel.” Stove God Cooks’ warm, melodies bridge together Gunn and Jada’s verse who continues his excellent run and proving Fat Joe’s theory that “yesterday’s price is not today’s price.”

Quotable Lyrics
They let the Desi’ spray

Scrape the pot, let the resi’ stay

With this drop comes the announcement that his album is on the way and Eric Bellinger is excited that for this single, he was able to link up with his friend Sevyn Streeter. The veteran R&B singer and his equally acclaimed collaborator came together on his latest single “What About Us,” a track that follows his previous releases “Only Fan,” “Go Get It All,” and “Shine On The World.” This time around, Bellinger called on Sevyn for a break-up jam of sorts as the two belt our verses about what happened during their lyrical relationship.

As the saying goes, there is his side, her side, and the truth, and on “What About Us,” Bellinger and Sevyn give their takes on why they believe their romance is no more. It’s quite a way to usher in cuffing season as the track is slated to be featured on Bellinger’s forthcoming album that is rumored to arrive before the year’s end.

Quotable Lyrics

Fell for a ting from the Westside (Side)
If I’m bein’ honest
TLC, no Left Eye, that’s all that she wanted (Yeah)
How you gon’ unfollow me, leave me for the streets, babе?
There’s no degree, how cold you could bе, bae
Girl, I remember the time, I got receipts on my line
The naked kind, so don’t you front, don’t you lie

She’s making the most of her 2021 XXL Freshman class reign and hopes to prove to the public that she deserves to be next in line. Flo Milli has been commanding attention throughout 2020 and 2021, and after she released her inclusion in the XXL cypher, the Alabama artist wants people to know that she’s more than just a pretty face.

On Friday  (August 27), Flo popped up on Destiny Rogers’s smooth banger “Simon Say.” The California singer stays true to those West Coast vibes and she reportedly spoke about the track, revealing that it is meant to showcase empowerment for the ladies. “One of the main messages I want to put out in my songs is the idea of being an independent woman and a boss b*tch,” the singer said. “‘Simon Say’ is about knowing what you’re capable of, and never letting anyone hold you down.”

After Flo Milli shared a post about the single, Destiny jumped in her comments to add, “Yesss!! thanks again for hoppin on this sh*t! we goin crazy w this one!” Stream “Simon Say” and let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics

Went from “Player’s Ball” to ballers
Putting the South up on the map was like Little Rock to banging
Niggas say “motherfuck that playin'”, they payin’, we stayin’, layin’ vocals
Locales done made it with them big boys up in this industry
