Rema has been one of the most buzzing names in the afrobeats scene. Fusing together the sounds of afrobeats and trap music, he’s created his own fusion of sounds and leaped to prominence with the release of “Iron Man.” He’s continued to keep the streets hot across the globe with the slew of singles he’s released since.

It seems like everything is in place for a massive year ahead and now, he’s set the tone for what he has in store in 2021 with his latest single, “Bounce.” Though a pandemic is restricting movements everywhere, this is certainly an anthem fitting for non-socially distanced bashes and summertime vibes.

“Bounce” arrives after the release of “Peace Of Mind” in December and his appearance on Stefflon Don’s “Can’t Let You Go” remix alongside Tiwa Savage.

Quotable Lyrics
Your yansh original
No be that kind Blac Chyna
Be my wife
Make I be your Nnayi

Giggs has maintained a high level of lyrical aptitude over the course of his career. While the sound of UK has shifted towards drill and further away from grime, Giggs has always maintained that he’s a UK rap artist. Perhaps, that label has prevented him from getting boxed in throughout his career.

At the core, Giggs is still an MC, and he proves this every single time he touches a mic. He’s the latest rapper to touch the booth for GRMDaily’s “Daily Duppy” freestyle where he unleashed a barrage of bars detailing the UK streets and his position on the rap game.

The latest freestyle form Giggs arrives a few months after the release of his last album, Now Or Never. Check out his “Daily Duppy” freestyle below.

Quotable Lyrics
Back on that gang ting
Ice cream man, back on that van ting
Can’t see man, MAC on that hand ting
Like He-Man, Battlecat, camping 

Hailing from Kansas but mostly residing in California, Aries has been building a big fanbase thanks to his unique voice and sound that reminds fans of the mid-2000s pop-punk scene. Despite these influences, Aries’ music is certainly based on the foundation of hip-hop as he offers a mixture of bars and sung verses. He has a new project releasing soon and to promote it, he recently dropped a brand new single called “DITTO.”

In this new track, we get those pop-punk vibes as there are some guitars looped in the background all while lovely vocal samples help to back up Aries’ voice. The lyrics will have listeners feeling nostalgic while also hoping for the summer weather, which is right around the corner. California influence is all over the track, and you can give it a spin, below.

Quotable Lyrics:

Go-time, batter up, I can help
Best not let me get ahead of myself
Would you roll mine? Tell me you don’t wanna get shelvеd
Why so silly? Hit the lotto and tell (Yeah)

Tank’s longevity in the r&b and the acting world has been something to behold, and over the years, he has continued to release new music that fits that grown person’s r&b aesthetic. When you’re older, you have a lot more wisdom to share when it comes to relationships, and that is exactly what he delivered his fans with his latest track called “Can’t Let It Show.”

This track is packed with emotion as it is a piano ballad that features Tank delivering some reflective lyrics about love, heartbreak, and what it means to be a good partner. Tank looks at things from the perspective of the woman he has disappointed, and how her tears are eating him up inside. It’s definitely a somber note but it makes for a great song that forces you to grapple with your own experiences.

Quotable Lyrics:

How did I lose you? (How did I lose you?)
How did I blow that? How can we go back?
Why did I not choose you? Ooh-ooh
Instead of a good time, I wasted your good time

Murda Beatz has made a strong case as to why he’s still one of the best in the game right now. He’s established himself as a hit-making behemoth behind some of the biggest records from Drake, French Montana, Migos, and plenty of others. However, he’s also continued to keep his ear to the streets for what’s new. This week, he teamed up with Baltimore rapper Shordie Shordie for the release of their long-awaited collaborative project, Memory Lane.

The project has 12-songs in total but it’s “Moral Of The Story” that remains one of the hardest tracks on the project. Murda Beatz cooks up a R&B-infused beat that perfectly meshes with Shordie Shordie’s rap-song flow as he seemingly interpolates “Thinkin Bout You” by Frank Ocean on the hook.

Peep the song below.

Quotable Lyrics
Steady calling her baby, but she ain’t no baby,
Act like it, I’m getting you diapers
Get to acting and bragging but you won’t go nowhere,
You just wanna be on my line
Told her hold up, I’m losing my line

The rap game is getting a much-needed dose of femininity these days. There’s been an influx of women breaking out into the game and many of them are doing a much better job at rapping than their male counterparts. Toronto’s Charmaine is readying her time to blow, especially with the recent slew of infectious hits she’s been pumping out. This week, she slid through with her latest offering, “Woo.” It’s an upbeat banger that finds the Toronto singer weaving through flows and melodies with ease over the upbeat production provided by Lantz & David Ariza. 

Charmaine’s latest single, “Woo” arrives a month after the release of her contribution to Black Alliance Vol. 1 compilation tape where she offered a cover of “U.N.I.T.Y.”

Check out her latest single below.

Quotable Lyrics
Tag me in, I’mma tag back
Only 12 rounds, hittin’ back to back
Only 12 rounds, can you handle that?
Need a big dog for my tiny cat
From the windows to the walls to the welcome mats

Compton rapper 1TakeJay has made a name for himself over the years thanks to his unique flow and bounce that has certainly led to a lot of undeniably catchy tracks. While some compare him to Blueface, it is important to note that 1TakeJay actually came out first. One of 1TakeJay’s most prominent traits is the humor he displays in his songs, and that comedy is definitely a huge part of his latest release called “Please.”

Throughout the track, 1TakeJay offers up some wild lyrics that will have you doing a bit of a double-take before moving forward. The artist doesn’t take himself too seriously and based on the music video, it’s clear that he is having a lot of fun with his art. If you need something fun to listen to, definitely give this track a spin.

Quotable Lyrics:

Treat these bitches like a pitbull yeah I dog em out
She got work for this dick I bet this bitch call out
Brought a condom with me took took a shot going raw now
Shit ain’t go as planned, Plan Bs being bought now

Harry Fraud’s touch can make all the difference. Over the course of the years, Fraud’s established a solid rapport with some of New York’s finest yet his relationships extend across the country. He and Curren$y make magic every single time they team up and “Arrival” is no different. Fraud offers up a hazy beat with a heavy jazz influence that perfectly compliments Spitta’s stoned, laid-back flow. “I arrived alone/I arrive stoned,” raps Curren$y off the rip before drifting into detail about his lavish life earned form his hard work.

The latest collaboration from Fraud and Curren$y arrives on Spitta’s latest project, The Collection Agency. Last year, the two connected twice for The OutRunners as well as The Director’s Cut.

Check out “Arrival” off of The Collection Agency below.

Quotable Lyrics
I don’t even need no light, you gon’ see me
Like a muhfuggin’ IMAX 3D
I used to ask my mom if I could hook my Nintendo up to her TV
Now I swap a Mercedes out like every Christmas Eve

Memphis rapper Duke Deuce has taken full advantage of going viral this past year as he has dropped numerous projects all while being promoted by the likes of Quality Control. There is no denying that he has a lot of talent and energy, which is on full display in his new album called Duke Nukem. There are some great songs to be had here, including yet another play on his name in “DUKE SKYWALKER.”

With this effort, Duke Deuce gives us a menacing beat that is backed up by some bars that are full of references to drugs and material goods. Duke’s flows are especially fun to listen to and overall, this track matches the vibe of his album quite perfectly. It’s yet another solid effort from an artist who has some great years ahead of him.

Quotable Lyrics:

Duke Skywalker, smoke that shit so heavily
High as seven heavеn, think an angel wanna marry me
I can’t smoke with brokе motherfuckers, I’m allergic
That shit make me nervous appreciate your service

Bryson Tiller has been on top of the r&b world for a few years now and back in 2020, the artist released a project called Anniversary which contained 10 tracks that set a whole mood. Now, the singer is back with a deluxe version of the album that is packed with five new songs, and for the most part, those vibes have been continued in the best way possible.

One of the standouts on the deluxe is a track called “Losing Focus” which sees Tiller trying to reason with his partner who he cheated on. The singer knows he messed up, and with some rapped verses, he tries to explain his wrongs and win back the girl he actually wants to be with. This is all backed up by a smooth instrumental that fits nicely in the context of the album.

Give the track 

Quotable Lyrics:

See I’m losin’ all my focus
If you chosin’, am I chosen?
Cruisin’ in this coke Benz
Soon pickin’ up your friends
Give me dirty looks ’cause they know a lot
A hunnid with you, yeah, they know I’m not
