RemixdMag’s best new songs this week push others to be the best version of themselves. From Doja Cat’s “Balut” to IX Wulf’s new EP, Heal Yourself First, our list will adhere to the importance of self-evolution.
Read our selection below:
Doja Cat – “Balut”
Doja Cat proves that her way with the rhymes is “like taking candy from a baby” in her newest single, “Balut.” On the jazzy boom-bap soundscape, the Los Angeles femcee addresses the critiques on her looks, artistry, and more. Elsewhere in “Balut,” Doja Cat makes it known that she’s quite incomparable. The rapper’s influence is so strong that others try to duplicate her sound. “What the f**k do she put in them hits?/I’m the s**t, you a real piece of s**t,” Doja Cat delivers. “I am needed, you a real needy b***h/I’m competing, you are incompetent/You are fleeting ’cause you can’t copy this.” Doja Cat’s brand new offering can be found on Scarlet, which drops on Sept. 22.
Fivio Foreign – “Doin’ Me”
As the song title implies, Fivio Foreign’s “Doin’ Me” focuses on personal growth and success. The song is in partnership with SOUNDRAW Inc., the AI music generator of the future. Ultimately, the New York spitter details how he deals with his opps “Huh them boys too tricky/If you talking crazy on the net,” Fivio Foreign raps. “But I never seen them n***as gettin busy/And I never wanted n***as comin’ with me/And they never took my jewelry that was iffy/If they send an addy to me it get litty.” The in-your-face drill beat, which is entirely produced by Fivio himself, is propelled by the rapper’s tough talk, confidence, and ambitious spirit.
DC The Don – “Tell Shyanne 2 (feat. Jace!)”
DC The Don enlists Jace! for the second installment of the “Tell Shyanne” series. The sleek trap single is about women who try to break up a happy home. DC The Don tries to dodge Shyanne’s advances and raps about his foreign whip. The rapper can’t seem to shake this lady’s persistent efforts to date him. “All of a sudden, b***hes callin’ my number/They ain’t tryna see us happy/I understand, she is not my number one,” DC The Don delivers. “Don’t let her take you under, ask Shyanne how she got my number/Ride in a new G-Wagon, this bitch too flooded.” Meanwhile, Jace! dabbles in the rhymes to detail his charm and money-making schemes. “Bae, I’m a rich muthaf**ka/Ooh, goddamn, this b***h she somethin’/We at first base, finna get me some,” Jace! spits.
YHIM – “Clap”
On “Clap,” YHIM raps about making women “move in motion.” Similarly, the song encourages the girlies to shake what their mama gave them. As the infectious, bass-heavy trap production sounds off, the East Flatbush rhymer details his ways with the ladies and excellence. While using a line of braggadocio bars, YHIM speaks on his exclusive drip and how he stays on his P’s and Q’s. One line that drives the narrative home goes, “I gotta chain no saw with it/Jesus piece no crossing it/It’s going down if I’m caught with it/I’m never lackin’/Stay strap even blowin’ her back in/Wave cap n***a wavy no cappin’.” The soundscape was created by Hugo Black. “Clap” comes on the heels of his Bankrol Hayden-assisted single, “I Want (Remix).”
Chase Greene – “For It”
Chase Greene reflects on a recent breakup in “For It.” The summer-kissed R&B cut finds the musician expressing how he doesn’t “want to dream without you.” From there, Chase Greene vocalizes how his former partner changed. Additionally, the multi-faceted artist opens up about how her absence has ultimately shattered him. Chase Greene uses a melodic cadence and sings, “Yea she stabbed me in my heart, shot me in the core/Like the power of a kiss, I’m trying to keep it blissful/But she ain’t want me no more.”
IX Wulf – Heal Yourself First
IX Wulf’s Heal Yourself First is a beautiful montage that takes inspo from his experiences and emotions. The theme in Heal Yourself First focuses on doing internal work to be the best version of yourself. “Two broken people will only ever be broken together,” IX Wulf stated. “This project is a snippet of the journey that taught that lesson. To be capable of truly loving someone else, you have to love yourself first.” Within each track, listeners will hear various dynamics that intertwine into relationships. The project comes with a short film for each track also.
