I’m excited to dive into this list of new hip-hop releases! As a reporter for Media Talk Africa, I’ll provide you with a rundown of the hottest tracks and albums that caught my attention.
First up, we have DaBaby’s latest mixtape, "How TF Is This a Mixtape?" – a bold declaration of authenticity, showcasing his signature blend of swagger and introspection. Standout tracks like "Carry It On" and "Ain’t That a Bi**h" demonstrate his lyrical prowess, while "I’m Outside" offers a laid-back, yet pleasing vibe.
Next, I’ll highlight the collaborations that caught my eye. The Weeknd and Playboi Carti’s "Timeless" is a bit of a miss, but it’s understandable given the contrast between their styles. Maxo Kream and Tyler, The Creator’s "Cracc Era" is a mid-2000s-inspired track that’s refreshing, with both artists floating over the production.
BigXThaPlug’s "Change Me" is a soulful offering that vows to remain true to his roots and maintain a respectable code of conduct. His message is powerful, and the track matches its replay value with its meaningful message.
Tee Grizzley and J. Cole’s "Blow For Blow" is a strong record, with Cole delivering a catchy chorus and Grizzley’s verse being… well, cool, but nothing to write home about. Chingy’s "Pick 3, Vol. 1" EP is a solid offering, with standout tracks like "Still Got It" and "Keep It Lit" showcasing his staying power.
Moneybagg Yo’s "SPEAK NOW OR…" is a deluxe edition of his album, featuring electrifying tracks like "WYD" and "OUTTA TOWN." Fans will love the high-energy beats and Bagg’s signature gritty style.
Bazz Davis’s "The Good Girl Tape (Vol. 1)" is like a tasty bowl of gumbo – his soulful foundation, lyrical prowess, and willingness to be raw and imperfect shine across the EP. Standout tracks like "What’s Your Name?" and "Let’s Be Friends" demonstrate his emotional depth.
And finally, I’ll highlight some other notable releases: Peezy’s "Small Town Ghetto," NLE Choppa’s "Sl*t SZN," Foolio’s "Demi God," Cardo Got Wings’s "Mademan," Monaleo’s "Throwing Bows," Soulja Boy’s "The Adventures Of Soulja Boy," Doodie Lo’s "What Made Me," Consequence’s "Nice Doing Business With You," Fashawn and Producer Trent Taylor’s "You Owe Us With Interest," and finally, Mid90s’ debut album.
These are just a few of the many releases that caught my attention this week. Stay tuned for more updates on the latest hip-hop news and trends!
