It’s another week, which means that it’s time to dive into the best new songs to bump this weekend! Heavy hitters like CMG hit early this week, while artists like Post Malone, Jean Deaux, Vory, and more hit hard on Friday. Let’s not any waste any more time and dive right into this weekend’s selection!
“Ease Up” by Jean Deaux ft. Masego
Chicago songstress Jean Deaux doubled up on her latest EP Most Wanted and dropped a deluxe version yesterday. The release comes with another pair of gems, including the Masego collaboration “Ease Up”. The instrumental has a groovy bounce that makes it easy for her beautiful voice to take the song away.
Kisses and hugs, excess of those,
He brought the drugs, now we exes with O’s
Masego picks up where she leaves off and immediately begins to jump in and out of flows in spectacular fashion. The jam rides out until the drums come in and gives the outro a proper crescendo. Going into next year, Jean Deaux is definitely one of the rising artists to keep in your radar.
Dark Clouds by Vory
Vory finds a confession room inside of a monstrous instrumental and admits his faults on his new song “Dark Clouds”. For the last year, the Louisville songwriter has been unstoppable, delivering standout features on various projects. The track is one of many bangers from his new full-length Lost Souls. The looped “Redemption” sample gives the album cut a chilling introduction before Vory comes in to unforgivingly speaks his truths.
“Im too busy worrying about them n****s who play undercover,
I’m too scared to tell my b***h how much I really love her,
I’m too worried about how we can take this sh*t to another level”
This track is an immediate stand out as Vory gives a strong performance atop of a beat that feels cathedric by nature. For those that haven’t given the album a listen yet, “Dark Clouds” is one you don’t want to skip over.
Wasting Angels by Post Malone ft. (The Kid LAROI)
Genre-bending superstar Post Malone made his return to music with his highly-anticipated Twelve Carat Toothache. Majority of the projects dives into Post’s perspectives of dealing with fame and vices, including the Kid Laroi-assisted track “Wasting Angels”. The song is definitely radio-friendly, but it’s also a nice collaboration for the duo as they sing about the highs and lows in the limelight. As the summer progresses, “Wasting Angels” is going to be one of the songs to keep in rotation.
This is like another thing I can’t explain, this is like a summer flame, that got away,
I won’t let another angel go to waste, uh-oh uh-oh, this life is crazy”
Big League by CMG The Label ft. Yo Gotti, Moneybagg Yo, Mozzy & Lil Poppa
CMG the Label continues their reign on top of the rap game with the latest posse cut “Big League”. The track is a commemorative single as it’s been announced as the official single of the 2022 NBA Finals. The recognition is well deserving and a victory lap for CMG founder Yo Gotti and the roster he’s built with the label. Everyone from Moneybagg Yo to Lil Poppa to Mozzy make appearances as they trade verses like they’re in the playoffs on the energetic instrumental. Whether it’s in the club or the commercials, definitely look for the track to ring off every time it comes in.
