New Music Friday Picks
Young Thug & Future – “Money On Money”
Ahead of his upcoming album, Young Thug makes his long-awaited return to music with “Money On Money” featuring Future. With this song symbolically marking the end of his YSL-label, it prepares listeners for his next chapter. Produced by 808 Mafia, this dynamic trap duo is able to pick up where they last left off and flawlessly match energies. Just like an appetizer, this single will have you craving for more due to its immense replay value.
Megan Thee Stallion – “Whenever”
Despite evolving into a cultural icon, Megan Thee Stallion‘s rapping ability proves to still be intact with “Whenever.” Staying true to her unapologetic yet raw style, she asserts her dominance as the top-Female MC. Nothing can prepare you for the fierceness that this song embodies as she metaphorically kicks down the doors with her verses. The song’s music video provides an underlying message that her reign is far from over.
Coco Jones – ‘Why Not More?’ (Album)
Grammy-winning singer, Coco Jones was able to live up to the hype with her debut album, Why Not More?. The 14-track album is led by the single, “On Sight” has already become a fan favorite among R&B lovers. From the songwriting to the harmonies and production, Coco excels in every field. It’s certainly been worth the wait, as the album stands as one of her finest works.
DESTIN CONRAD – ‘LOVE ON DIGITAL’ (Album)
DESTIN CONRAD joins Coco, as another fellow next-gen R&B artist to recently release their debut album. As a result of consistently gifting quality releases for the past 4 years, it’s no surprise he delivered a no-skip album. It’s almost impossible to say R&B is dead as he adds to his flawless discography with this work-of-art. This project feels like such a breath of fresh air despite being short and sweet at 37 minutes.
Murda Beatz – “Same Sh*t” ft Bktherula & Montell Fish
Platinum producer, Murda Beatz enlists help from Bktherula & Montell Fish on posse cut, “Same Sh*t”. Best known for producing Drake’s “Nice For What”, Murda Beatz reminds listeners of his extensive range with a new single. His sinister production brings the unlikely pair of Bktherula and Fish to the depths of the underworld. Their dark delivery and relentless flows immediately draw you into their clouded minds.
Ray Vaughn – ‘The Good The Bad The Dollar Menu’ (Mixtape)
With the recent success of Doechii, TDE still holds weight as a label that’s overly selective of who they sign. By the same token, their latest signee, Ray Vaughn makes sure his presence is felt with his newly released debut mixtape. In 11 tracks, he’s able to be deeply introspective with his subject matter while delivering top-tier bars. As a result, this tape is bound to hit home for a lot of listeners for having a grounded message.
Kai Ca$h – ‘CASH RULES’ (Mixtape)
Fresh from his Dreamville Fest performance, Generation Now signee, Kai Ca$h announces his arrival with his new mixtape, CASH RULES. This tape was previewed with the singles “You See It” and “Handsome Hustler,” that dropped earlier this year. It also features standout appearances from frequent collaborators like CEO Trayle & Niko Brim.
Saekyi – ‘LOST IN AMERICA’
The DMV area has quietly emerged as a region that produces artists that constantly pushing the needle. Undoubtedly, Saekyi can easily be added to that list for having an unorthodox songwriting style that overlaps multiple genres. LOST IN AMERICA reflects on his journey of finding his place/purpose in America as a Ghanian-America.
We hope you enjoyed this week’s editon of New Music Friday.
