The best new music from the week of July 10th!
We’re in the midst of summer and the anthems are heating up. This week’s new music drops includes releases from Future, Sango, Jacques, and even Beyonce. Here’s some of our favorite picks of the week. Hope you enjoy this week’s new music Friday!
New Music Friday Picks
Albums & EPS
Future – ‘The Real Me’ (Album)
Despite initial assumptions, Remixd Magazine can assure you that Future is not washed yet. Upon reflection, ‘The Real Me’ is truly Future in his most raw form as he revisits past concepts that collectively define him. For added clarity, he did this with zero features, making this project even more impressive. Throughout the project, Future returns to the familiar sound that has defined many of his catalogs. Lyrically, he doesn’t shy away from rapping about lavish spends, women, and the success his rap lifestyle has brought him.
J. Cole – ‘Birthday Blizzard ‘26’ (EP)
As findings reveal, J. Cole’s last album ‘The Fall Off,’ might’ve not have received the positive reception he expected. For once, it’s nice to hear Cole drop an EP where he’s able to flex his pen opposed to a full concept album. From here on out, he needs to give us pure bars and beats. Birthday Blizzard was exclusively released on his ‘The Fall-Off’ website earlier this year in January, and now it’s finally available on streaming.
Juicy J & Project Pat – ‘Dem Goats’ (Collab Album)
All things considered, there might not be another brotherly duo in rap as accomplished as Juicy J & Project Pat. Furthermore, it’s overdue they finally did a whole project together and it was worth the wait. Above all, this is a fun listen that you’ll want to revisit all throughout the summer. ‘Dem Goats’ is a fun way to describe themselves.
Jacquees – ‘Mood’ (Album)
Undeniably, no other vocalist is coming close to Jacquees when it comes to covers/remixes. With that in mind, how dope is it that we were able to get a project of just that with ‘Mood’ without the filler? By far, this is one of the best artistic decisions he could’ve ever made. The R&B crooner knows his audience.
Sango – ‘RHYTHM & MELODY’ (Album)
After several years away from releasing a full-length project, Sango returns with RHYTHM & MELODY, an album that showcases the producer’s signature blend of hip-hop, R&B, soul, and electronic influences while pushing his sound in new directions. He recruits an all-star line up of features including Vic Mensa, Big Sean, Jay Anthony, and many more to tell the stories throughout this project.
Kenarri – ‘Trinity Tapes II: The Son’ (EP)
Again and again, Atlanta has shown they can produce a star out of thin air. For that reason, you should consider checking out Kenarri’s based of her sheer versatility on her new EP. Taking that into consideration, you can expect more from her this year due to her recent consistency.
Singles
Beyoncé – “MORNING DEW” (Single)
Collectively, everyone would agree that Beyoncé can never do any wrong regardless of the genre. Having said that, listening to “MORNING DEW” will have you craving another sultry-R&B album. Unpacking further, this may be the sign that everyone has been looking for the long-awaited ‘Act III.’
Yatta Bandz – “Out Of Time” (Single)
As needed, Bay Area artists have always found success in openly exploring their emotions within their music. In essence, that’s what makes Yatta Bandz’ music so remarkable, especially his latest release “Out Of Time.” Apart from this, there seems to be a bright future based on his brilliant storytelling.
We hope you enjoyed this week’s edition of New Music Friday!
