Snoh Aalegra ft. Tyler, The Creator - NEON PEACH: Snoh Aalegra dropped a project this week entitled “If You Snoh You Snoh” my bad, it’s actually called, “TEMPORARY HIGHS IN THE VIOLET SKIES”. The Swedish born singer collabed with Tyler on this one, synergizing their summer releases. The song is about rekindling the flame. Putting the past behind you. And even though one (or both of you) were being too extra, it ain’t too late to run it back. Also from “TEMPORARY HIGHS IN THE VIOLET SKIES”:

Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis ft. Sounds of Blackness - Til I Found You: The legendary producers dropped “Volume 1” this week, a new project that I thought was a greatest hits album when I first saw it on the Apple Store. But after listening to a certain podcast, and finding out it's that new new, I had to check it out and it didn’t disappoint. I like this song because it sounds like an R&B joint but it’s dedicated to The Lord. And I need The Lord to know that I’m fucking with him, I’m ridin with him, and I’ll A-Town stomp any nigga that don’t put respek on his name. With the assistance of Sounds of Blackness (whose song “Optimistic'' is one of my all time favorites) Jam & Lewis opened their new drop with solid gold! More Fire from “Volume One”:

Glasses Malone ft. The Game & Kurupt - Gangsta Boogie: West Coast Royalty on this one. This track has a funky “Doggystyle” feel. Glasses brags about piping his opps baby moms. He also gives advice “My advice is for you to be you”. All Game ever needs is his balls and his glock.

Bas ft. J. Cole ft. Tjay - The Jackie: Dreamville and NY’s Lil Tjay dropped a gem this week. “You see the droptop” Cole insists the ladies stop playin with him as they see the drip with their own 2 eyes. Bas is riding through NY on The Jackie Robinson Parkway hot and bothered and asks a young lady he’s courting why haven't they smashed yet. He knows of a couple cats she’s been with and knows that he’s shittin on them suckas. He must’ve been convincing, because he grabs a rubber, goes to her crib, and gets it popping! 

KILLY - EUPHORIC: “Tomorrow ain’t promised” Killy spits game over a bass-heavy, uptempo beat. He not new to this, he true to this. He’s the light to the darkness and he trusts the process. He’s born in, never sworn in, everything him and his crew do is historic.

GaTa - Check Up: “Dave” is Lil Dicky’s show on FX and it’s where the world was introduced to his hypeman GaTa. On this week’s episode GaTa is working on a new song but also experiences a series of unfortunate events. It culminates with him finally getting to a Bar Mitzvah he was sposed to perform at with LD, but LD got kicked out and the birthday boy asks him to perform in his place so he gets hit time to shine and performs this track to the party guests while standing on his Gold 04’ Impala. It’s a dope track too!

Haviah Mighty - Avocado: Haviah got it and she know it. She’s super confident and knows you’re noticing her. She knows you’re on her heels, following her, starting to fall in love with her essence. She’s a ball of bravado and she encourages us all to embody that as well. “If energy is off, I gotta block it and delete it, this shit is for my warriors who broken down and beaten, Y’all just need that armor on your body and beneath it, your Confidence is Freedom.”
