Toronto singer/songwriting anders’ buzz has been steadily growing since first gaining recognition five years ago with the release of “Choosy.” His catalog expanded since then with a collaboration alongside Rich The Kid, and several solid bodies of work including January’s Chaos, his first official project in nearly three years.

Apparently, Chaos was just a taste of what he has to come for the remainder of 2021. The singer delivered a sultry new banger on Friday titled, “Late To The Party,” produced by Francis Got Hear and Emerson Brooks. Anders latest record reflects his growing status, from his regional buzz in Toronto to garnering national and international fame, as well as the perks that come with it. A lustful banger that finds anders basking in his vices, even if it means he’ll be late to the function.

Quotable Lyrics
Two hoes in the back
They wanna give me face
Now I only care if I’m getting paid
I touch down, ignite it, then walk away

Curren$y has a massive discography that only keeps on growing. The NOLA rapper is a vet in the rap game whose passion for his craft hasn’t diminished over the years. He’s maintained a strong sense of his artistry and brand, even when he’s crossing over into the worlds of his collaborators. 

This week, the rapper returned with his latest body of work, Collection Agency, marking the release of his first project of the year. The album is a 10 song effort with a sole feature coming from Larry June. “Jermaine Dupri” is a stand-out record arriving towards the middle of the project. Curren$y details his lavish lifestyle filled with budsmoke and muscle cars while referencing Jermaine Dupri’s episode of Cribs where he showed off his Bentley Continental T.

Quotable Lyrics
Some of my cars self-park, but I don’t trust it
All them funky bitches who think they smart play Mario Kart with they hearts
See a OG nod slow, I’ll low-key tear you apart

Chicago natives Kosine and Jeremih are two artists who know what it means to write songs about relationships, so it would only make sense that they would come together and collaborate on the quintessential relationship song. This latest effort is called “Transparency” and just based on the title alone, you truly get a sense of what this song is about.

Throughout the track, we get some r&b production while Jeremih delivers soaring sung vocals. Kosine’s verses are tight as well, where he takes a more nonchalant approach all while asking his partner to be transparent with him. The track discusses the pitfalls of a union and how things don’t have to be as complicated as they may seem.

Give the track a spin and let us know what you think, in the comments below.

Quotable Lyrics:

Heard his best friend was your neighbor
Blame it on me talking ’bout a side chick
But you’re the only one that’s right beside me
No ain’t worried ’bout those dudes (Damn)
Bitches hating wanna be in your shoes

Nessly has been buzzing in the hip hop scene since garnering attention for his 2016 hit “Crying in Codeine,” earning praise from different blogs. Since then, he’s gone on to release four full-length projects, including Standing on Satan’s Chest in 2019 and Wildflower in 2018. For his latest single “Link And Build,” the rapper recruited Tokyo-raised rapper MadeinTYO for the mellow track. The “Uber Everywhere” hitmaker recently shared on social media he was ready to unleash a new mixtape, so his appearance on the track is likely a warm-up for fans as for what’s to come. 

On “Link And Build,” the rappers lament about reaching a level of success where they can afford to be as unbothered as they are. Nessly confidently spits in his verse, “Every death threat that I get you better send with a kiss.” MadeinTYO delivers the second verse, while Nessly handles the infectious hook and the other verses.

The duo dropped off the visualizer for the track alongside the release of the single.

Quotable Lyrics

My left wrist abominable snowman
My chain got a choreography routine
Yours slow dance
Don’t ask for a pic and say we working that’s insulting
Better have your bankroll right before you post it!

Throughout Busta Rhymes’ illustrious career, he’s continued to push the boundaries with each and every one of his releases. The rapper came through towards the end of 2020 with the release of his first project in eight years, ELE 2: The Wrath Of Extinction. For fans, it was a celebration of his career that brought him to his roots. The rapper linked up with Vybz Kartel for the lead single off of the project, “The Don & The Boss,” an anthem that dives into his Jamaican roots with some serious dancehall vibes.

Even though it’s been a few months since the project was released, Busta Rhymes came through with the official remix of “The Don & The Boss” with Kaytranada handling the song’s production and adding an electric feel to it.

Check it out below. 

Chester Watson has been a buzzing name in the underground and the Florida circuit over the past few years but it was in October 2020 that he finally unveiled his debut studio album, A Japanese Horror Film. The Japanese influence on the project was heavy as he brought that element into his world in Miami.

This morning, he returned with a brand new project to follow up A Japanese Horror Film, titled, 1997. One of the standouts on the 9-track project is Watson’s collaboration with Detroit’s Danny Brown on “Grip Reaper Low Tops.” The eerie vocal samples and heavy drums hit hard as Watson’s laid-back, stream-of-consciousness flow commands attention. Danny slides in on the second verse with his high-pitch, nasally flow with nostalgic references to his upbringing in Detroit.

Quotable Lyrics
See death in a meeting 
Won’t stop, exclusive Travis Scott’s
Grim reaper low tops
Bumpin’ Madvillain,
Got the task force in the spot with me

22Gz has been a pretty consistent presence in the Brooklyn drill scene, commonly recognized as a pioneer in the scene since his mainstream breakthrough in 2016. He’s gone on to release two mixtapes via Atlantic since then, and he’s showing no signs of slowing his pace any time soon. The Sniper Gang member has just dropped off his latest track “Blixky Gang Freestyle, Pt. 2,” which arrives as the second single off of his forthcoming album. 

Similar to the first “Blixky Gang Freestyle,” the 23-year-old spits over a drill beat on the re-up. He released a trailer for the single a few days before officially releasing the track for fans. Part one of “Blixky Gang Freestyle” was featured on his second mixtape Growth & Development, which arrived in April of 2020.

The rapper has yet to release his debut studio album yet, but it is no telling the direction he aims to take with his next project. Check out the sequel to “Blixky Gang Freestyle” below, and be sure to drop a comment letting us know what you think. 

Quotable Lyrics

You playing with me, you end up in a coffin
Shoot at the feds, always on offense
Catch a opp on camera, then link the recording
Totin’ the stick, make it rain, have it pouring

Memphis artist Duke Deuce has been making a name for himself over the past couple of years and after going viral in 2020, he has continued his momentum in the new year. Recently, the Quality Control artist came through with a brand new project called Duke Nukem which is a play on both his name and the infamous video game of the same name. There are some great tracks to be found here, including “GANGSTA PARTY” with Offset.

With this track, Offset starts off the festivities with some fast flows that feature some braggadocios lyrics. The production matches this energy thanks to rattling hi-hats and booming 808s that tick all of the boxes of what you would expect from today’s production trends. In the second half of the song, Duke Deuce comes in with his commanding voice, where he takes the baton from Offset and steals the show.

Give the track a spin, below.

Quotable Lyrics:

Duke Deuce from the Haven (Hey, hey)
Offset from the Nawf (Nawf)
Either way it go, we rep’ that Boss and chuck them fours (Fours)
My bitch gotta be bad, it’s just in her, it wasn’t taught
Stupid ass geeked up, engine police, know I’m gettin’ off (Uh)

Bryson is an undisputed favorite in the r&b space and on Friday, he delivered a deluxe version of his Anniversary project. The original effort contained 10 tracks and this deluxe contains five new cuts, with one of them featuring Big Sean. This track is called “Still Yours” and it serves as a moody love song that features both artists at their best.

Throughout the track, we get some smooth r&b production all while Bryson’s vocals create a perfect vibe. Lyrically, Bryson speaks about a relationship that doesn’t seem to have any clear-cut boundaries are expectations. The artist tries to navigate this reality by explaining his intentions, which are eventually backed up by Big Sean’s verse.

Give this track a spin and let us know what you think, in the comments below.

Quotable Lyrics:

Pourin’ up Chardonnay, I’ll turn you up (I’ll turn you up)
Get you at your max, baby, turn you up
Kick back and relax with me, burn it up (Burn it up then)
But we fight again (Fight again)
But I’m tired of doin’ this again and again

It’s been a while since we received new music from Lil Mo. The celebrated singer is responsible for belting out a few of our favorite R&B and Hip Hop hits, including “Superwoman Pt. II” and “Can’t Let You Go” with Fabolous, as well as “Hot Boyz” with Missy Elliott, “Wifey” with Next, “Take Me Away” Featuring Maino, and “Put It on Me” with Ja Rule and Vita. As much as she’s respected by her fellow artists and fans alike, Mo hasn’t released a new album since 2014’s The Scarlett Letter.

Over the years, fans have seen Lil Mo make a few reality television appearances on shows like R&B Divas: Los Angeles, Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars, and Love & Hip Hop New York. It looks like Mo is back in the studio because she recently released her latest single “Broken Heart,” and she may be pulling from real-life circumstances as inspiration. Her tumultuous marriage with estranged husband Karl Dargan has been played out for a global audience, and on the track, Mo is trying to rebuild after a shattering breakup.

Stream Lil Mo’s R&B offering “Broken Heart” and let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics

My heart got broke
I didn’t know how to act
Had questions for God
How could you do me like that
What did I wrong?
Is karma paying me back?
