2019: The Hit List (Part 5 of 5)
Mr. Eazi ft. Tyga - Tony Montana: Smooth Island vibes. “Don’t act like you know me, if you don’t know my story” Ain’t that the truth? Cats be actin’ like they know you when they don’t even know the half. Fall back fam, before I make you say hello to my little friend! (JK stop the violence)
Stunna 4 Vegas - Long: Protegé of DaBaby, Big 4 dropped this swag anthem talking about all the fun he’s having ever since he been having more cash than a lil bit. Diamonds that dance like a disco, women eating penis in his sprinter van, and threatening his opposition are a few of his favorite things. Bravo, old chap! Bravo!
Flipp Dinero ft. Kodak Black - Til I’m Gone: Dope track that samples Radiohead’s “Creep” This an anthem to the grind. Flipp goes in about the work he had to put in to get where he is today and how he’ll keep grinding til his last breath. Kodak offers a nice vocal contrast and laments about the trappings of fame. Tough tune.
Tinashe ft. G-Eazy - So Much Better: On this one Tinashe lets all the fellas know that she better than yo chick (Shots fired!) She do everything better than your current significant other, including but not limited to Carpentry, Plumbing, Backgammon and Archery. Young Gerold delivers a crispy verse that’ll be sure to get your shawty’s kitty purring.
CHIKA ft. Charlie Wilson: Can’t Explain It: A flip of SWV’s “I’m So Into You” with an accompanying video paying homage to A Different World. The track starts with Chika spotting shorty at a party drinking a beer (btw women who drink beer >>>) and ends with Chika talking bout putting a ring on it. The power of love (and booty and beer) “That’s CHIKA, Nikka!” - Uncle Charlie
The Game - Rewind II: The Compton MC flips Nas’ “Rewind” from Stillmatic. A1 storytelling, Game deftly pulls off the almost impossible storytelling structure. Also love how he’s still repping for one of his Hip-Hop heroes, one that caused a rift between him and 50 as Fif was beefing with Nasty Nas at the time and Game was like that’s my nigga tho and dapped him up in the club sparking one of Hip-Hop's greatest feuds.
The Weeknd - Heartless: This is one of the most Weeknd songs ever. With past lyrics like “Bring the drugs baby Ima bring my pain” and “I only love you when it’s half past 5...When I’m fucked up that’s the real me” it’s no shock when he proclaims “Never be a wedding plan for the heartless, Low life for life ‘cause I’m heartless” With a Metro Boomin beat to boot, Abel & Metro made magic on this one! Safe to say The Weeknd won’t be getting shot by Future anytime soon. (Anyone? Get it? If Young Metro don’t trust ya…. nvm)
Uncle Murda - God I Fuck With You: Some would consider this blasphemous but Unc Murda expressing his love for The Lord the only way he knows how, with gritty street bars. Only God can judge him and know his heart. “Oh I woke up this morning, that’s a W nigga, That’s a blessing, God good lookin’, I fuck with you nigga, You the real big homie, I look up to you nigga, Can’t wait to meet you, say what’s up to you nigga”
The Game ft. Trey Songz - Blood Thicker Than Water: Another standout track from his album “Born 2 Rap”, Game gets in his reflective bag over an Old-Kanye-esque soul sampled beat. Trey on the hook gives it that sauce. “Cause niggas always watch you cook, they want a slice of your pie, Leave 'em surprised, keep your eye on the prize and aim for the sky, You was born by yourself and that's the way you gon' die, Get the fuck up off your ass and stop wastin' your time, Don't get discouraged by no mountain, that shit easy to climb, You gotta do it at your own pace, just like I tell my son, I can't do this shit for you, bro, you gotta win your own race”
Lil Mexico ft. Lil Gotit - Glocks & Drums: Avid gun owners Lil Mexico & Lil Gotit made this upbeat bop to warn their opposition to watch their tongues, because LM & LG’s youngins are out here wildin, they be shooting shit for fun. Not people tho, like targets and skeets and shit. They’re gentlemen. And legal gun owners. For sure.
Coldplay - Orphans: This stands out like a sore thumb. Here at ToughTune.com, we listen to all kinds of music… all kinds… This song brings me back to elementary school, when things were simpler. Meet up with the homies, cop some bud, hit the liquor store, get a homeless gentleman to buy you and the crew some adult beverages, go to the cut, smoke something, drink something, then go home and promise moms you gon’ start doing right with yo life starting tomorrow. My mom used to leave her door open and I had to give her a hug before going to my room. She would use this opportunity to smell the scents of sin on me and calculate how long she’d lecture me the next morning. Lord I miss those days…
Lil Poppa - God’s Hand: Rappers are some of the firmest believers in The Lord. They need protection in them streets so they ask God to guide them and Lil Poppa does just that on this track. He also speaks on his insecurities, including not liking his looks, something you don’t hear rappers talk about often. “What's understood ain't for everybody to understand, But I'ma leave it in God's hand 'cause all of this God's plan”
Roddy Ricch - The Box: Roddy Ricch (2 c’s for SEO value) busted onto the scene with this smash. At first I thought it was an ode to the 90’s 24-hour music channel. Then I thought maybe it was about that almighty cooter. Then I thought maybe he was hired to make the soundtrack for The Sandra Bullock-led Netflix blockbuster Bird Box. But au contraire, this song is about… (checks notes) Well being that he mentions receiving oral sex multiple times “She sucked a nigga soul, gotta CashApp” “Took her to the forest, put the wood in her mouth” and “She suckin’ on dick no hands with it” this song is undoubtably about the ancient art of Fellatio.
2KBaby - Betta: “It's gon' get betta, Day-to-day they tell me keep my head up, yeah, Got caught in a wave of rain but I ain't even wearing no sweater, yeah, In the game, but I paid the pain, lord knows, I know he fed up, yeah, Have you checked the weather? Man it's gon' get betta yeah” Optimistic tune from 2KBaby. Super dope video too with the Louisville native engaged in random acts of kindness around LA. Need a pick-me-up? Bump this one.
Roddy Ricch - High Fashion: Mustard on the Beat Ho! Another hit from Roddy Ricch’s smash debut album “Please Excuse Me for Being Antisocial” (snubbed at the Grammys btw) Once again we ask: Is it trickin’ if you got it? According to Roddy, absolutely not! He keeps his shawty laced in Chanel, Goyard, G-Wagons and diamonds and he’s proud of it. In the same vein, I take my baes to Applebee's to get that 2 for 1; Shared appetizer, 2 entrees and a shared dessert, and after, she make that ass clap no applause, jk I drop her off at her real man’s crib then I go home and dry beat my meat...
Sada Baby - Aktivated: On one of the hardest beats of the year, the burgeoning Detroit rapper serves up a track built to get strip clubs going up. He made a splash in 2020 with “Whole Lotta Choppas” but he been cooking up heat for a minute. This track samples Kool & The Gang’s “Get Down on It” and could be heard in jiggle joints all over the US, Canada & Mexico over the past year. Many lil niggas had they 1st day of school Jordans purchased with dollar bills that flew when this song came on in the gentleman’s club.
Lil Durk ft. Polo G: Career Day: Standout track from the OTF compilation album “Family Over Everything” OTF is something everybody can co-sign “It ain’t friends, It’s Only The Family, is it possible you gon ride?” Family ain’t just blood relatives, it’s the people you fuck wit. And they can turn on you too. Durk & Polo encouraging you to watch your back and your front and keep your circle tight. Tough Tune.
Cam’ron - Big Deal: Off “Purple Haze 2” the sequel to Killa’s biggest album (and one of my all-time favs). This track captures the vibes of the first incarnation with its soul sample (Kanye executive produced the original). Also from Purple Haze 2 check out “Toast to Me” “Losing Weight 3” “I Don’t Know” “This is My City” “Keep Rising” “The Get Back” “Just Be Honest” “Killa Bounce” “Straight Harlem” (I understand I just listed almost every track but fuck y’all, this my shit! Whatever, whatever, I do what I want!)
Calboy ft. G Herbo - Purpose: Chicago artist Calboy made a splash in 2019 and this was his 1st certified hit. With his distinctive melodic flow and a feature from the artist formerly known as Lil Herb, C-boy confesses his love for Perky’s and his disdain for bird-brained, broke niggas. They knocked it out the park on the first pitch.
Kari Faux - Chattin Shit: “I let the people talk, I let the people talk, I let the people talk, I said I let the people talk” Stick and stones may break your bones, but words is just some bullshit. That’s what my granny used to say. This song is a work of art. Let the people talk, they always have and always will. Let your actions rain down truth on the goofys. ***One of my favorite tracks of 2019***
Fetty Wap - Fresh N Clean: Fetty been on this wave for a while. Taking hit songs and flipping em. He did it with Mike Jones “Flossin” He did it with “Pull Wit Ah Stick” and now Outkast’s “So Fresh, So Clean.” This slowed down rendition showcases just why the world fell in love with the Jersey artist. He’s able to transition from spitting to singing without missing a beat.
Eli Sostre ft. 451- Trustin’ You: One of my favorite R&B joints of the year. All great relationships are built on trust. The fellas just letting they main squeezes know, it’s a two-way street. Trust in me and I’ll trust you. Love me and I’ll love you, and also break you off with the backseat doggy whenever you like.
Slade Da Monsta ft. Lloyd & Ilham - Boomerang: The ATL producer cooked up the sauce for a Lloyd-led track that encapsulates the bumpy ride we sometimes call Love. Ivy League-educated singer Ilham lends her angelic voice to this Tough Tune. “But then in the heart of the night, there’s a spark of a light, Ready to show the world, show the world it's alright, For you to love me, and for me to love you too, Sometimes it gets ugly, but in the end it’s beautiful”
Drake - War: Some people not fans of Drake’s switch-up British/Patois hybrid delivery, but I fux wit it. When I listen to this track my Bench Press Max goes up 60-70 lbs. For some reason I go harder when War is bumpin. He clears up things with his associations. With the Weeknd, it’s all love. With them other niggas… Well, it’s still fuck them niggas at least at this moment in time but you never know. If Gucci & Jeezy can peace it up, anything is possible.
SOB x RBE - My Chain: “I gotta stay on top, get money and fuck fame, Get money and duck lames, on my brothers, on my gang” Yup! From their album “Strictly Only Brothers” The (now) trio goes in about grinding to stay up, sexcapades, and mollywhopping the opps if they get outta line. Also check out “My Thugs” and “Still Won’t” from the aforementioned album.
Baby Keem - Invented It: The TDE rapper popped up on many people’s radar when his album “Die For My Bitch” appeared on a few outlets’ 2019 Year’s Best Albums lists. This is one of my favs from the project. Big Protein confesses to starring in a sextape and also describes his plan to build generational wealth. Also from DFMB check out “Orange Soda” “Rockstar P” and “My Ex”
Kenny Mason - Hit!: Viral hit by ATL newcomer Kenny Mason. This one glorifies the come up. The intro suggests that Kenny glowed up on that middle man grind. When you know somebody that know somebody. If ya man the plug, you the extension cord. Buy it for 10, sell it for 15. Gotta bake bread with whatever ingredients you got. Also check out his “Let Up (Freestyle)” A flip of DG Yola’s hit “Ain’t Gon Let Up”
Kid Ink ft. Reo Cragun: Ride Like A Pro: “At first she move like The Flash, then take it slow, Nobody know that you nasty on the low, Freak show” Y’all know what's up. This for them ladies that know how to get on top without breaking yo dick off. It’s a night and day difference between those that ride like a pro and those that ride like a NOOOO!!!!!! I don’t be saying shit if her cowgirl game is trash because I’m grateful to The Lord for this puzzy that he has bestowed upon me, but I’m taking mental notes tho.
Bossman JD - Ride The Wave: I hate comparisons but if you heard this track you might think it was Kodak Black and if you saw the video and didn’t have your contacts in, you’d be like “Oh that’s Kodak fa sho!” It’s not tho, it’s another Florida artist, Bossman JD. He gets in his reflective bag talking bout how he had to cut off his old dogs because he didn’t want to catch fleas and also reminisces about urinating in condoms to help his big cousin pass a drug test. That’s love! The guitar chords really spice this track up.
Skillz - Rap Up 2019: One of my favorite tracks every year. It’s like a history lesson. Go back and listen to some of the old ones. It'll bring back memories of all the big stories of that year that you prolly forgot about. Great tradition by the OG. Some highlights of 2019: Patriots win the SB while owner Robert Kraft investigated for getting a tug at a massage parlor, Soulja Boy’s Breakfast Club interview, Surviving R. Kelly, The Gay 2pac: French actor Juicy Smollett, 21 Savage’s ICE situation, Kanye’s Sunday Service, Avengers: Endgame, David “Big Papi” Ortiz got shot in DR, the final season of Game of Thrones, ASAP Rocky getting locked up in Sweden, the failed plan to bum rush Area 51, Popeyes Chicken sandwich going viral, Eddie Murphy hosting SNL for the 1st time in decades, Netflix’s “When They See Us” about the Central Park 5, Lizzo’s breakout, Old Town Road, the Tekashi 69 trial, and Nipsey Hussle’s murder.
Uncle Murda - Rap Up 2019: Murda decided to do his own Rap Up a few years ago and touches on similar topics as Skillz (with a few more like Juice Wrld’s death and El Chapo’s trial) and Murda does it way more disrespectfully. Over a rework of The Gap Band’s hit “Outstanding” this a Tough Tune (And I come in peace to anyone who caught smoke on this one. Don’t kill the messenger.)
Yung Bleu - Church: Street nigga blues. Yung Bleu starts off talking about his crisis of faith after turning his back on the streets, the niggas that switched up on him, and him feeling like he needs to take action. He’s asking the good Lord to keep his trigger finger at ease. He also bares his soul to his main bitty letting her know that he’s working on himself and that she gon get his all and she won’t ever need no Side Meat, only Bleu.
Sunday Service Choir - Souls Anchored: The Kanye-backed choir dropped the album “Jesus is Born” on Christmas featuring some flips of classic gospel songs and modern R&B. They even flipped of Ye’s “Ultralight Beam” which already had a Gospel-y feel with Kirk Franklin on it. This one is a rerock of Ginuwine’s “So Anxious” and it’s an absolute masterpiece. Some of y’all need to reconnect with The Lord but I ain’t pointing no fingers (points finger… at himself)
Stunna 4 Vegas - Long: Protegé of DaBaby, Big 4 dropped this swag anthem talking about all the fun he’s having ever since he been having more cash than a lil bit. Diamonds that dance like a disco, women eating penis in his sprinter van, and threatening his opposition are a few of his favorite things. Bravo, old chap! Bravo!
