All of the work that Toosii has put in is showing results. The rapper has received major co-signs, and over the months, his catalog’s grown to include bigger collaborations alongside other budding stars in the game. It seems like everything is panning out for a massive takeover ahead but that doesn’t mean that he’s slowing down the process.

Fans of Toosii have come to appreciate the weekly releases from him. This week, the rapper returned with his latest single, “IG Live.” The rapper opens up with fantasizing about the dream life before reflecting on the pain that comes with the streets.

Check out the latest offering from Toosii below and sound off in the comments with your favorite bar from his new single, “IG Live.”

Quotable Lyrics
Say you a hunnid but you counterfeit
You was counting favors, how the fuck when I wasn’t counting shit?
Trip when I’m around your bitch like I’ma fuck her
That pussy must be good or you a sucker

It’s crazy to think that J.I.D dropped off his debut studio album The Never Story four years ago to this day, but here we are. With anticipation building for his upcoming project, tentatively titled The Forever Story, the rap game has all but accepted J.I.D as one of the best current lyricists out right now. It’s easy to understand why, given the impression left on tracks like the J. Cole-produced “Lauder,” which held the honor of closing the Atlanta rapper’s debut all those years ago.

Over an ice-cold beat from Dreamville’s own J. Cole, who blesses his signee with one of the spookiest beats of both their respective discographies, J.I.D proceeds to absolutely snap for a total of four straight minutes. Employing the long-lost structure of three verses, J.I.D saves the best for last with one of the album’s most spirited performances. “Let’s get it poppin’, they’re pulling pistols on apostle Paul, So pay the piper or meet the sniper, legend of the fall,” he spits, all but foaming at the mouth. “I knew in diapers you and I was nothing alike at all / I do or die, you do it to die, I’m really making calls.”

There’s a reason many hold J.I.D in high esteem, and given that he was already firing on this level on his debut album, one has to wonder how far he can ascend. Revisit this gem now, and keep an eye out for what J.I.D is cooking up next.

QUOTABLE LYRICS

Let’s get it poppin’, they’re pulling pistols on apostle Paul
So pay the piper or meet the sniper, legend of the fall
I knew in diapers you and I was nothing alike at all
I do or die, you do it to die, I’m really making calls
You couldn’t kill it and take it out of me, the ideology
This the odyssey, I’m Odysseus, you gotta follow me
Watch how I maneuver, I influence the influencers
The flow is like a fluent influenza going through the motion

Hailing from New Jersey, Angelo Mota has been gradually becoming one of the most compelling new Hip-Hop acts. Since the release of his 2019 EP My Art Is Bad, his output has been nothing of the sort, having released a slew of impressive singles such as “All Luv,” “I Can’t Hate Myself,” and “Do Not Disturb.” Inspired by his recent relocation to Los Angeles, Angelo is now back with his first release of 2020: “90210.”

Released alongside a minimal, yet beautifully shot, music video that features Angelo Mota shaving off most of his hair, “90210” is a creeping track that slowly swells throughout its three-minute runtime. All while the cinematic beat dramatically builds, “90210” ironically strips down the artist of his achievements to reveals his underlying emotions and insecurities as he reaches out to a loved one that doesn’t pick up the phone. Eventually, the single’s beat erupts into a genre-fluid burst of intensity, and Angelo Mota doesn’t skip a step while transitioning from a refrained delivery into full-on shouting.

If you enjoyed “90210,” stay on the lookout for more music from Angelo Mota.

Quotable Lyrics

Put my feelings on. What you dealing with?
I had money, no. Why I’m stealing shit?
I can’t get a loan, so I’m dealing shit
90210, and I’m here alone
Miss the fam dog, sometimes i’m too hands off

CapCity’s speaking for the hustlers on the corner with every single release. The rapper returned this week with a brand new collaboration alongside Griselda and B$F head honcho Benny The Butcher titled, “Poor Livin’ Rich.” The aura of grimey New York rap is all over this record as the Far Rockaway rapper and the Buffalo MC tackle Sincere Noble’s hypnotic sample-based production with street tales and lavish flexes.

Benny The Butcher’s been gearing up for the release of his follow-up to the Harry Fraud collaborative tape, The Plugs I Met. After dropping off the B$F tape and Burden Of Proof, the Griselda rapper will be continuing his hot streak with the project’s release on March 19th. Keep your eyes peeled for that and peep Benny’s collab with CapCity below.

Quotable Lyrics
It’s the truth that I walk in the booth and Hail Mary
Set one up for my kingpin sittin’ in jail, buried
Life played out the way it’s supposed to
To go through, hell and back, that pressure’ll mold you
It make the weak get emotional

The few offerings we’ve received from UK singer Jorja Smith since her 2018 debut have left us wondering what direction she’ll be heading next. It’s been nearly three years since the release of Lost & Found, an album that cemented her as a leading voice in a modern era of R&B. This week, she released her latest single, “Addicted,” a melancholic, calming indie-pop tune that seemingly takes on more obscure influences.

The singer said in a press release that “Addicted” is about “focusing on wanting the full attention of someone who’s not giving enough (or any) when they should be.”

The release of “Addicted” arrives shortly after releasing the remix to “Come Over” with Oboy.

Check out Jorja Smith’s latest single which arrived alongside a music video below and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics
You should be addicted to me
I’m the only thing that you should need
You should be addicted to me

Toronto artists Haviah Mighty and TOBi have been seeing much success in recent times. Even though they’ve discussed working with each other, it just hasn’t happened until their latest collaboration, “Good On My Own Tonight.” Serving as the latest offering from Haviah’s recent string of releases, she and TOBi flex their lyricism over a haunting beat co-produced by Haviah and Mighty Prynce as they reflect on the necessity to put yourself first.

On creating the song, Haviah said, “TOBi and I had been talking about working on something for years, so we finally made it happen. We collaborated first on the Toronto Remix for his track 24, which inspired working together again on this project.”

Check out Haviah Mighty and TOBi’s “Good On My Own Tonight” below.

Quotable Lyrics
Look at this medal I wear it with pride
We go high we never decline
Pinot Noir I’m better with time
Know you gotta watch your back when the shots ain’t coming from behind enemy lines

Last year, Deante Hitchcock felt like one of the game’s best-kept secrets, especially in the wake of his debut album Better. Now, the Atlanta rapper has returned with the second installment of his recently-launched Atlanta Tuesdays series (last week’s installment found him bodying “Let The Beat Build”), this time taking on the viral and challenge-sparking “Junebug” for his latest freestyle. 

Off the bat, Hitchcock makes his intentions abundantly clear, and make no mistake — they are those of a scoundrel. “Fuck that wine and dinin’ shit, how much the head cost?” he asks, setting a tone with his opening bars. “Baby I’m tryna bust a nut so hard my legs cross / she said she wasn’t fuckin’, skrrrt, a n***a sped off.” In fact, the entire freestyle is extremely pornographic in nature, with Hitchcock embracing the delights of smut and no-strings-attached arrangements. As for morality, well. “When I’m in it I tell her that I love her, that don’t mean a thing,” he raps, crossing his fingers in the accompanying video. “Long stroke her, she make hella voices, she Regina King.”

Check out the X-rated freestyle from Deante Hitchcock right here, and check back next Tuesday for another weekly drop from the versatile lyricist.

All my hoes treat me like I’m royalty, I’m king ding-a-ling
Long as you acting accordingly, you can be my queen
When I’m in it I tell her that I love her, that don’t mean a thing,
Long stroke her, she make hella voices, she Regina King

Five years ago, Lil Yachty emerged from the ranks of Soundcloud royalty to release his debut commercial mixtape Lil Boat. Released on Quality Control Music, Capitol Records, and Motown, the album peaked at the 106th position on the Billboard 200, but its seemingly unimpressive chart performance doesn’t properly contextualize the impact that Lil Yachty had on the music industry in 2016. Following the viral success of “One Night,” the Atlanta artist doubled down on his moment and released the fantastical, and actually decent, project Lil Boat.

In addition to Yachty’s massive hit “One Night,” Lil Boat also featured a full-on Atlanta extravaganza moonlighting as a remix to “Minnesota” and boasted an assortment of eclectic production from The Good Perry. One of the once close collaborators’ best efforts on the tape, however, was “Wanna Be Us,” which featured the two over bubbly, digital production, exchanging youthful verses about their newfound success.

Peep the video below and enjoy some vintage Yachty in honor of the five-year anniversary of Lil Boat.

Quotable Lyrics

I be posted up with Perry, I be counting up the guap
Keep a condom in my sock, ’cause these b*tches on my cock
I need a mouth full of rocks, and I need me a Rollie
Need a mansion for my brodies, need my diamonds to be dancin’

The Valentino Viper is back with some new music, releasing the latest single from his upcoming collaborative album with !llmind called “She Wanna” on Tuesday night.

Guapdad 4000 is one of the most hilarious rappers on the planet, constantly releasing content that will make you slap your knees as much as you’ll be bobbing your head. A recent signee to 88rising’s sub-label Paradise Rising, the Ferragamo Falcon is back with the music video for “She Wanna”, which is delightfully ridiculous. Bragging about his industry connections and more, Guap spits, “Told her I knew Drake and she sucked me,” which sets the tone for the entire song.

The anthem follows the West Coast scammer’s latest rendezvous with the ladies, swiping credit cards and sending them home on the bus because he’s banned from Uber. The new single was co-produced by the iconic P-Lo, who brings the bass to !llmind’s work.

“Me and Guap made this song in about 30 mins, everything just came out and we were pretty much laughing the whole time,” said P-Lo about the creation of this song in a press release.

1176, the new album from Guapdad 4000 and !llmind, is set to release on March 19.

Quotable Lyrics:

Every day, she want D-I-C-K
So I’m the one that she P-I-C-K
Yeah, she fine, but her partners all ugly
Told her I knew Drake and she sucked me

Lil Migo recently dropped off his brand new album King Of The Trap, featuring appearances from 42 Dugg, Moneybagg Yo, Blac Youngsta, Rich The Kid, and more — you can listen to the entire project right here. For an early sample, consider the lead single “Big Dog,” which puts Lil Migo’s talents on display over a minor-key trap banger. 

Despite the up-tempo pace of the instrumental, Lil Migo opts to pull back his flow, his Memphis swagger evident in his presence. If she see this ice I’ll bet the bank she’ll come fuck me tonight,” he warns. “Can’t fuck with grimy n***as, they be the ones that come take your life.” He proceeds to switch up the flow for the second verse, keeping things engaging as he fires off lines at a rapid pace. “Four in the pineapple Fanta, feeling like Michael with Dirty Diana,” he raps. “Glock on me, no MC Hammer / you try me you probably get killed up on camera.” 

Though his rap name may not be the most original moniker in the world, it would be unwise to sleep on the self-declared King Of The Trap. Check out “Big Dog” now, and should you like what you hear, support the Memphis rapper’s debut project and run those numbers up.
