Read our selection below:
Sexyy Red – “Hood Rats (feat. Sukihana)”
Sexyy Red and Sukihana’s “Hood Rats” is an empowering anthem for all the girlies. Over the Tay Keith-produced trap cut, the two rapstresses’ deliver rhymes that push others to let their hair down. Sexyy Red and Sukihana also detail the many tricks they use underneath the sheets. Similarly, the rappers boast about their WAP’s too. “I’m lookin’ sexy, I’m lookin’ fine/No broke boys can waste my time,” Sexyy Red and Sukihana spits in the chorus. “My thoughts showin’, my booty pokin’/My pussy wet, I need a panty line.” The music video is set on a golf course and what seems to be a top-of-the-line country club.
Quavo – Rocket Power
Quavo’s highly-anticipated album, Rocket Power, has arrived after being pushed back from its August 5th release. The rapper’s second solo album serves as an emotional outlet and takes a page from his grieving process since losing his nephew and former Migos member Takeoff. Quavo shared the concept behind his album on Instagram this May. “This album is for the Rocket, our true fans, and this is my therapy,” he wrote.
“This album is a true reflection of how I feel right now. The Rocket showed me a way to make it right! Rocket Power gives me fuel and will help us all overcome whatever we’re going through.”
Usher – “Boyfriend”
Usher’s feel-good pop meets R&B offering, “Boyfriend,” finds the eight Grammy Award-winning singer in what seems to be a love triangle. In the four-minute record, he sings about having chemistry with a woman who’s already spoken for. Despite this, Usher and his crush can’t seem to stay away from one another. Because of how deeply he feels, the songwriter risks it all to be in his lover’s presence. “I try my best not to be all in your phone/But I know that’s not what you want,” Usher sings. “Might as well keep some pictures of the two of us in your home/When you slow dance by yourself, I’m right behind you.”
Lolo Zouaï – “Encore”
Lolo Zouaï sings about a person who serves as her sweet escape in “Encore.” The 2000’s-styled Oscar Scheller production finds the French-born songstress asserting that only one person can take her away from the demands of being famous. The anonymous individual relieves Lolo’s stress and asks, “let me take over the spotlight.” In turn, she stops at nothing to reciprocate the adoring energy. “Never gotta ask twice/Keep ’em waitin’ in line,” Lolo Zouaï delivers. “All the others, fake
They can’t handle what it takes/You need somewhere to get away/From all the cameras in your face.”
Icewear Veezo – “Love in The City”
Icewear Veezo drops some lessons and rhymes about the street code and how others switched up in his melodic trap offering, “Love in The City.” The Detroit-based rhymer speaks about why he stays on his grind too.
“Times hard, we get it in (Yeah)/Do it for my mother and my brother and my wife and my cousin and my kids,” he spits. “Twenty pints in the fridge (Yeah)/Riding ’round with life on the seat, the streets hot, you get ice for a bid/Got a price from the boss, straight from Cali (Yeah)/Street n***a froze in the chalet.” The song is assisted by a Boomin Films visual, which finds Icewear Veezo riding along the 6 Mile streets.
