Ashoka’s new song might be called “Outta My Bag,” but he was definitely in his bag when he made this.

The Rockland County, New York-based artist remains one of the most talented names on the underground, continuing to bubble up with each new release. Most recently, he teased his new single “Outta My Bag” during a virtual performance, and the song was received so well by his fans that he decided to drop it mid-week, coming through with the song on all DSPs.

Offering a mix of melodic trap with contemporary hip hop influences, Ashoka’s new single may remind you of artists like Tory Lanez and other similar vocalists, while still offering a lot of his own flavor.

Quotable Lyrics:

You got me outta my bag now
Got used to moving this way, I think I gotta calm down
Excited, I really gotta calm down

BJ The Chicago Kid is back with more music. After hitting us with his BJ Wednesdays series last month, including the recent “Make You Feel Good” release, the Chicago singer decided to return  to the scene this past weekend by paying homage to his fallen brother Nipsey Hussle, who would’ve turned 36 years old on Sunday, by doing a cover of his Victory Lap song “Double Up.”

“I wanted to creatively honor my friend who not just uplifted so many with his music, but was an incredible man who meant the world to the industry as a whole,” BJ Says of the track. “This is my way of working to continue his legacy through music.”

The Marathon Forever Continues. Listen to the cover track (below) and let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics:

Turned seven to a fourteen
Fourteen to a whole thing
Lord knows it’s a cold game
Switched up on you hoes, man
Big body take both lanes
In the back, blowin’ propane
All-black, five gold chains
Young rich nigga bossed up on his own name

In a world full of DM slides, Tinder Link-ups, and Netflix and chill sessions, Kari Faux is very vocal about her wants on her new single “Too Much, Too Fast”. Released on her own label, Lowkey Superstar Records, a joint venture with Don Giovanni Records, the vibey track presents a conversation between two potential lovers who are not on the same page. Atlanta rapper Deante’ Hitchcock brings an infectious southern lyrical flow to the track that is reminiscent of Andre 3000 and T.I. 

Matching Deante’s energy, Kari Faux’s bubbly conversational flow maintains the song’s upbeat mood. The production of the track is quite impressive as the melodic shifts towards the end of the song sonically offer a unique 1970s funk-inspired groove.  

“Too Much, Too Fast” will be featured on Kari Faux’s newest full-length project Low Kew Superstar Deluxe, which is scheduled to be released next month. It is clear that the rapper-singer has an eye for talent as her album also includes collabs with a roster of some of the most creative artists out now: Smino, J.I.D, Yung Baby Tate, and Jazz Cartier.

Pell has been putting on for New Orleans for quite some time now and over the last decade, he has been consistent with his releases. The artist knows how to put a groove together in his tracks, and in a few weeks from now, he will return with a new album called Floating While Dreaming II. This follow-up to his 2014 debut promises to be special, and it comes with a brand new song with Dave B called “Flight.”

This track has some funky vibes to it as we are met with some driving bass and a hypnotizing flow from Pell who truly shines all throughout the track. “Flight” is one of those songs that you can get lost daydreaming to as the vibe just puts you at ease while bringing you to a whole new headspace. It’s the perfect single for his new album, and you can check it out below.

Quotable Lyrics:

Take a night trip, til we both just coast

Last year, Lonr. popped onto the music scene with his debut EP, Land Of Nothing Real. The seven-track project featured huge appearances from H.E.R. and 24kGoldn, and according to the enigmatic artist, it was about “love, longing, and desire.

Roughly 16 months later, Lonr. is back with a new Yung Bleu-assisted single titled “Read My Mind,” which continues a months-long collaborative streak this year.

With a runtime of two minutes and 38 seconds, “Ready My Mind” is a short, yet sweet offering from the two artists that’s filled with the spirit of teenage romance. Although his verse isn’t nearly as long as Yung Bleu’s, Lonr.’s catchy hook is what really drives the song, and the repetitive call to “run away” and “lose control” is simplistically endearing. 

Watch the cinematic music video for Lonr. and Yung Bleu’s melodic new single below and let us know in the comments if you’re feeling the vibe.

Quotable Lyrics

Yeah, I wanna see if you gon’ talk that talk (Talk)
I can tell you nasty by how you walk (How you walk)
I can tell you classy just by your thoughts (By your thoughts)
She can get a bag, tell me what it cost

Fans are always willing and ready to hear his new tracks, and recently, Louie blessed up those avid supporters with a brand new track and music video called “Smokin’ Cali.”

With the summer coming to an end in about a month from now, King Louie decided to take full advantage by dropping an undeniably catchy and wavy song that brings forth those warmer month vibes. Throughout the track, King Louie takes a more laid-back approach as he enjoys the sun all while smoking some weed. It’s one of those tracks you can just relax to and as always, it’s yet another solid effort from a veteran artist.

Quotable Lyrics:

Smoke so much Jet fuel they calling me Lee
I do designer drugs I’m not a P
Listening to Rick Jamse & Tina Marie
Hit stains we all gotta eat
No love but a heart gotta beat
