Given her pop star status, Iggy Azalea is constantly flooded with comments begging her to perform in Brazil. When you make it, you start getting the Brazil-related requests from stans, and Iggy is making sure to show her South American fans some major love.

The 30-year-old Aussie rapper returned with a couple of new songs last week, including her new single “Sip It” with Tyga. As a b-side to the track, the hitmaker dropped the dance-ready song “Brazil”, in which she brags about her body, her bands, and her trips to Brazil. Already impressing all of her fans overseas, Iggy rhymes over the AJRuinedMyRecord and Jay Scalez-produced record, which is heavily rooted in EDM themes. 

The track was a surprise release alongside “Sip It” on Friday. 

Check it out below and let us know if you’re a fan.

Quotable Lyrics:

Paid for this body and none of it cheap
I heard your song now I’m goin’ to sleep
Boys in my yard but this ain’t from Kelis
Look at my cars you see nothin’ on lease
Look, I’m showin’ my cards how I play with a king
Heard they was sleepin’, I’m breakin’ the dream
Closin’ a deal while you makin’ a meme

Quelly Woo is picking up where Pop Smoke left off on his new project Tactical Pressure. The drill scene gets another sensational project, and Woo seems like he’s ready to take off. On his single “Jealousy,” the young rapper vents about trust levels and envy in his environment. 

The concept of jealously in hip-hop is nothing new. Of course, clout chasing and the internet has changed things over the years, however, envy has always been an issue. Quelly Woo gives his take on the topic, over an outstanding instrumental. As epic choir lays the backdrop for the knocking drill beat, giving it a haunting vibe. Stream “Jealously” and Tactical Pressure, and let us know what you think below. 

Quotable Lyrics
I’m feelin’ jealousy
A few niggas hatin’ and envy me
I told her TP, stop the talkin
Kick a Chevy, we could split it in portions, like
Grab the fire like Buddy Bodega, call up Eli, he gon’ shoot like a Laker
Shoot like PG from the Pacers, they call me TP ’cause I never say much

MC Bravado is back with a new single for the warmer months. Just as the Winter leaves up behind, MC Bravado come through with “Yeah Baby,” a jumpy, catchy vibe that is sure to keep you nodding. The instrumental, constructed by Brandeezie, is comprised of a wacky-sounding synth that permeates the air around you. The weird sound has a unique feel to it as it slaps around the percussions. 

MC Bravado employs different flows on this one, and opts to rap about a multitude of subjects instead of sticking to a theme. The fun track fits in perfectly with the Springtime, giving listeners some energy and life after a dreary Winter. 

Quotable Lyrics
Go and get it
Like Shaka Zulu
Just line the troops up
I’m knifing through you
Got flying shooters
Just like I’m Mewtwo

Slatt Zy has been making some waves out of Chattanooga, Tennessee as he continues to drop songs that come from the heart, all while delivering some country vibes that fit with the Southern aesthetics that he is going for. Which each new song, Slatt Zy shows off some impressive growth and on Friday, he came through with yet another new track, this time called “Lean On.”

With this effort, Slatt Zy sings over a guitar-filled instrumental about the pain he has gone through over the years. He has seen his family members die and with the lack of support he has received, he just wants to know if there is someone out there he can depend on. The song speaks to something many people can relate to, and it is definitely a must-listen.

Quotable Lyrics:

Nobody asked me was I straight when my brother died
Nobody asked me was I straight when my cousin died
Ain’t asking for no sympathy, you better pick a side
Crying from the heart, my pain run deep, cuz they dun left me dry

Mello Music Group delivered a brand new project on Friday called Bushido and the album has been receiving universal praise from hip-hop fans, especially those who prefer lyrics over anything else. There are a ton of great features throughout the entire run time and Open Mike Eagle is one of the more prominent names to be found across the tracklist. One of the best songs on here is a cut called “Gold Gloves” and it features the artist on top of production from The Lasso.

There are some great lines to be had here and overall, it’s another great effort from Mello Music Group.

Quotable Lyrics:

Confidence assured (confidence assured)
Used to murder hoods
Clearly, I forgot
It’s not like what I learned in books
Too concerned to look and think it my head
My helm is broken, my head is swollen

Quotable Lyrics:

Yeah, you pulled up on me like you know me, I was by my doley

Kodak Black has been teasing the release of new music with fans for a few weeks now. He previously bragged about recording a total of 167 songs since being pardoned by Trump and has already dropped a few songs including, “Every Balmain,” and his collabs with Lil Yachty and YNW Melly “Hit Bout It” and “Thugged Out” respectively. He announced on social media over the weekend that he would be premiering a new single on Sunday (April 4), subsequently sharing his latest track “Easter In Miami” with fans today.

The Pompano rapper shines through with his signature Kodak swagger on the track, rhyming for nearly the entire three-minute run of the song. For a freestyle-type of release titularly named after the holiday weekend it dropped, Kodak’s performance on the track is beyond stellar.    

Right now, it’s unclear whether this or any of his previous releases are loosies or will be grouped together on one album or not. A year ago in April before his legal troubles amplified, the Florida native announced his third studio album Kill Bill, but there’s no telling what direction he’s planning to go with it anymore. Check out “Easter In Miami” below and let us know what you think down in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics

I ain’t no chico, but they call me Felipe, yeah
I copped the Rollie ain’t nobody else had
And by the time you was on AP, I was already on Patek
Crab legs and shrimp and we sippin’ Chardonnay
They all on the drip, they envy me, like Charlamagne

It is officially Easter Sunday which means many of you will be spending time with your families and doing fun activities like Easter Egg hunts all while eating an obscene amount of chocolate. Meanwhile, the music fans will be giving some time to all of the new releases, especially those made specifically for Easter. One such release comes from Westside Gunn and Mach Hommy who just teamed up for a 9-minute epic called “EasterGunn Day 4 Freestyle.

Fans will immediately notice how this freestyle is done over RZA’s instrumental for “Hollow Bones.” As for the song itself, Westside Gunn starts off with some braggadocios bars before going into an interlude where he and Mach Hommy talk their shit and just have an overall good time. That’s when Mach Hommy eventually gives his verse, ultimately wrapping this freestyle into a nice little bow. 

It’s a dope way to start Easter Sunday, and you can stream it, below.

Quotable Lyrics:

Ten bags, twelve bags, the red helicopter doin’ the helipad

The Margiela Stella bag (Ah), Givenchys with the leather tag
Pino carrara hella fast (Skrrt), the shit’ll never last

On April 1, 2016, Jhené Aiko and Big Sean doubled down on their excellent chemistry and released the Hip-Hop and R&B collab album TWENTY88. Apart from sparking countless rumors about the romance between the two artists, TWENTY88 showcased both Sean and Jhené at their best — creatively, sonically, and lyrically. Five years after their 2016 team-up, fans have yet to receive a proper follow-up to TWENTY88, but the duo has appeared from time to time on Jhené and Sean’s last couple of solo albums.

Laced with just eight tracks, TWENTY88 only featured one song that boasted guest appearances, giving the project the opportunity to showcase how great Big Sean and Jhené Aiko sounded together on wax. One of the songs that really exemplified the great pairing was “On The Way,” a flirty and sensual song that finds both artists expressing their lust for each other. The infectious album cut also serves as the opening song on “Out of Love,” the 14-minute short film that accompanied the artists’ 2016 collaboration.

Revisit Big Sean and Jhené Aiko’s joint project Twenty88 by listening to “On The Way” or watch the project’s short film “Out of Love” below. 

Quotable Lyrics

I’m your designated
Sex drive you to the destination
Lingerie my favorite decoration
I need Hennessy for that preparation
I hit the pussy with an exclamation I’m so spoiled
