RemixdMag’s best new songs this week directly address individuals who always have something negative to say. From eLVy The God’s “Most Hated” to LightSkinKeisha’s “A$$ ON ME,” this list will show them that you’ll always remain unfazed by their actions.
Read Natalee Gilbert‘s selection of songs below:
Lil Tecca – “Need Me”
Dabbling a whirl of bars in an interpolation of Brandy and Monica’s “The Boy Is Mine,” Lil Tecca plays on the theme of appreciation by admiring a lady who “gets by easy.”
Layered with Lil Tecca’s trademarked melodic technique and plush afrobeat R&B elements, “Need Me” shows what it means to be a man of your word. As he aims for the opps jugular with a line of not-so-light threats, vercetti/romani spits, “Eye for an eye, I could treat you how you treat me/Lie for a lie, I could show you it get beasty.” Similarly, the TEC highlight explores a stronger side of loyalty between these two twin flames. Lines like “she said she don’t need you, she said that she need me,” prove that they’re truly meant to be. TEC will allegedly drop later this year.
SoFaygo – “YE“
Opening the record with “wake up get cake, all work, no breaks,” SoFaygo’s intergalactic trap banger affirms what it means to be a go-getter. He compares this attribute and having an eye for fashion to the innovative wordsmith Kanye West, a.k.a Ye. He also pays homage to other notable figures when spitting, “And I rock this shit out, man I feel like Cobain (Fuck, fuck)/And I’m kicking my shit, Liu Kang.” As the song progresses, SoFaygo glides on the beat with flex-worthy rhymes about his whips, chips, and more. “YE” is one of the many focus tracks found on his upcoming project, GO+.
eLVy The God – “Most Hated“
Asserting that he will “take over like COVID-19,” eLVY The God illustrates his plans of domination in “Most Hated.” Over an experimental Western-styled hip-hop beat, the Chicago rapper thundershocks his opps with tough talk, alluding that “when we made it rain, they all got hit with lightning.” eLVy The God’s ultra-confidence is elevated by his greatest accomplishments and luxurious lifestyle.
LightSkinKeisha – “A$$ ON ME”
LightSkinKeisha’s derrière gets a standing ovation from a group of outsiders in her latest playful hip-hop song, “A$$ ON ME.” Making it clear that these other women can’t be close to who she is, the rapstress flexes about the results of her hard work. Similarly, she expresses how she never settles for less, saying “if he broke, I curve him.” The finishing touch to “A$$ ON ME” is its catchy hook. The short instance encourages listeners to shake it like a salt shaker.
Chxrry22 – Worlds Away
Chxrry 22’s “Worlds Away” is about being far from that special someone and loving each other without an inch’s difference. Blending rich elements of bedroom R&B and Jersey Club with hypnotical singing, the record describes the more complicated side of a long distance relationship. Proximity becomes a rift in their dynamic, causing the two to suddenly be “Worlds Away.” But, unfortunately, her efforts to navigate through hard times are met with dead ends. Chxrry 22 shared with Rated R&B, “I’ve been in a long-distance relationship for the last year. As badly as you want something to work, factors like distance and time come into play. But, just because this is a sad situation it doesn’t mean the music has to be.”
Emika Love -” Bad Day, Not Bad Life“
Emika Love’s “Bad Day, Not Bad Life” is the perfect pick-me-up to a gutting 24 hours. Embellished with an 80’s R&B aesthetic, cheery pop, and Afrobeat bits, the record alleviates the worry or distress of being down in the dumps. Additionally, the California artist illustrates actions others can take to create their own happiness. This encouragement comes out through Emika’s buttery raps and stand-out vocals. With powerful statements like “Listen to the message, not the sound,” Emika Love’s new single will get anyone out of a funk. The music “showcases her main themes of unity, spreading love, and appreciating all aspects of life.”
