best new songs

RemixdMag’s best new songs this week push others to be the best version of themselves. From Sexyy Red‘s “Get It Sexyy” to Don Toliver‘s “Deep In The Water,” our list highlights how self-evolving is the key to new opportunities and internal joy.

Read our selections below:

Sexyy Red – “Get It Sexyy”

Sexyy Red’s showcases the levels of her confidence in “Get It Sexyy.” Over the bass-heavy Tay Keith production, the rapper drops lyrics about being one of the baddest in the game, rapping, “Slim thick, chrome skin/5’5″, this bitch a ten.” Following this, Sexyy Red details her luxurious lifestyle and charm. She spits, “I’m so f***in’ sexy that he’ll text (All these n***as on go)/Feel myself ’cause I know that I’m that (Yeah, b***h, I’m go)/Ridin’ through St. Louis in a Scat (And I can’t go slow).” Sexyy Red first teased the record in February of 2024 through a mini clip on her social media pages. Today, Sexyy Red also released a record called “Come Here” with “Get In With Me” hitmaker Bossman Dlow.

Playboi Carti – “Ketamine”

Fueled with menacing elements and a charged-up trap beat, Playboi Carti uses his signature flow to detail how he “stays runnin’ up checks and holdin’ the knife” in “Ketamine.” Without hesitation, the Music rapper delivers straightforward bars about his charm, why he’s undeniably the flyest in the room, and settling the score with his opps. “Ketamine” also gives Playboi Carti a chance to call the bluffs of his haters and women after him for clout. Lyrics like “Now the b***h wanna f**k on the gang, s**t put a stain right on the floor/Got me feelin’ like chase, I’m switchin’ the lanes on these w***es/Stop all that talkin’, let’s do it, you on the internet, boy, stop, boy” takes the narrative home.

Sugarhill Ddot – “Outside”

Sugarhill Ddot’s piano-driven trap offering “Outside” is about enjoying life’s little moments. As the 808s go off, the Harlem rapper speaks about being “Outside” in the sunnier days. Sugarhill Ddot then details his luxurious lifestyle, come-up, ability to see through people’s fake behavior, and traveling across the coasts. He raps, “Big body right behind me, got too much jewelry/Showing off that body language/She do it fluently/Ain’t tryna fly LAX cuz everybody knew me.”

Don Toliver – “Deep In The Water”

Don Toliver reassures his girlfriend, Kali Uchis, that they can weather any storm together in “Deep In The Water.” On the 2000s-esque R&B trap beat, the Cactus Jack Records artist tells his special lady how much he cherishes her. Additionally, the rap singer implies that he’ll continue being throughout Kali’s pregnancy. The two musicians revealed the news about their soon-to-be newborn in January of 2024 through a trailer posted on Instagram. As the song continues, Don Toliver illustrates a moment where the two almost broke up. But, thanks to his efforts, they were able to work through their differences. “Whatever you do right now, you know I can’t go back/You try to leave me/Well I’m in the H right now/Got my hand deep down in the sack,” he delivers.

PARIS. – “BNB”

PARIS. invites a girl he’s interested in to “catch a vibe” in his newest single, “BNB.” As the late-night-esque R&B production sounds off, the Canadian artist crosses between a melodic and bouncy delivery, PARIS. channels into his feelings for this remarkable woman, suggesting they embark on a romantic rendezvous. “BNB” also finds PARIS., revealing how he set out his destiny from the very start. He sings, “Mom asked what you gon be/When you all grown up/I’m invested in me/S**t might be hard to see/But I do my Dougie when I’m on the beat.” 

About the single PARIS. says “‘BNB’ is about being in the moment and letting another person get into their comfort zone around you. This song has a different bounce compared to most records out there. The difference between ‘BNB’ and my previous releases is the beat selection and the unique pockets I chose to flow on.”

NateTaylorr – THERE’S ALWAYS MORE

NateTaylorr’s new project, THERE’S ALWAYS MORE evokes emotions at its core. Driven by ten introspective records, NateTaylorr’s newest LP couples dark R&B trap beats with vulnerable lyrics about love, loss, self-elevation, and more. The project features musicians like NBDY and Mellina Tey. Subsequently, NateTaylorr’s THERE’S ALWAYS MORE holds hits like “QUALITY TIME” with NBDY, “CRY LATER” alongside Mellina Tey, and “FOREVER TIES II.” The artist’s new project not only helps others heal but also gives them a newer outlook on love and growth.
