54 . The Game & Lil Wayne – Stop Playing With Me
 |
Date Added : Jul 23,2025
Clocking in at just 28 minutes and 30 seconds, “Don’t Tap the Glass” arrives on July 21, 2025, via Columbia Records as Tyler, The Creator’s shortest album to date. He produces all ten tracks himself, folding hip-hop into funk, house, and dance, with stray voices—uncredited—from Baby Keem, Daisy World, Madison McFerrin, and Pharrell Williams. Samples show up when they feel like it: Busta Rhymes’s “Pass the Courvoisier, Part II” and Crime Mob’s “Knuck If You Buck” both make guest appearances in waveform only. Promos are more installational than traditional—think world tour art pieces, a no-phones listening event in L.A., perspex boxes, and merch designed with a wink. The project trails Tyler’s thoughts on public inhibition and movement itself, stitched together in sounds meant for feet, not feeds. Born March 6, 1991, in Hawthorne, California, Tyler Gregory Okonma kicked off with 2009’s *Bastard* and hasn’t let up since, with stops at *Wolf*, *Igor*, *Call Me If You Get Lost*, and the recent *Chromakopia* (2024) preceding this compact detour.

53 . YFN Lucci – Can’t Feel My Face
|
Date Added : Jul 23,2025
“Can’t Feel My Face” lands in July 2025 with YFN Lucci pairing atmospheric beats and trap drums with his familiar melodic flow. The lyrics trace a blurry emotional state—numb, distant, but voiced with just enough feeling to keep it grounded. Born in Atlanta in 1991, Lucci started out with 2014’s *Wish Me Well* after signing to Think It’s A Game Entertainment. He first cracked the Billboard 200 with *Wish Me Well 2* (2016), led by “Key to the Streets” featuring Migos and Trouble. With 2017’s *Long Live Nut*, he reached No. 27, helped by “Everyday We Lit” with PnB Rock, his highest-charting single to date. *Ray Ray from Summerhill* followed in 2018, peaking at No. 14, rounding out a run that includes a studio album, seven mixtapes, six EPs, and 20 singles.

52 . Rio Da Yung Og – Great Day
|
Date Added : Jul 23,2025
Released in mid-2025, “Great Day” signals Rio Da Yung OG’s return following a prison stint, folding street poise into upbeat sonics. Layered violins clash politely with heavy 808s, while Rio’s conversational delivery tallies up money and firepower: “It’s a great day, I made a hunnid racks… We got 4 .308s on us…” The track arrives ahead of his album “F.L.I.N.T.,” a title nodding to his hometown of Flint, Michigan, where he kicked off his rap career in 2008. Best known for “City on My Back” and “Legendary,” Da’mario Horne-McCullough has teamed up with names like Lil Yachty and helped shape Michigan’s rap output since at least his 2017 EP “My Life.” |
51 . Lazarus & Rakim – Not To Be Defined
|
Date Added : Jul 23,2025
“Not To Be Defined” brings together Detroit rapper Lazarus and lyricist Rakim in a track produced by Dem Jointz, where classic cadence meets global insight. Rakim delivers his signature internal rhyme schemes, while Lazarus—who doubles as a board-certified physician with Punjabi roots—adds sharp verses shaped by cross-cultural experience. The chorus, “You can’t put me in no box, I am not to be defined,” keeps things on message, tilting at both musical and cultural restrictions. This is Rakim’s first team-up with a Detroit emcee, a detail not lost in the music video where both artists share the screen. Lazarus (Dr. Kamran Rashid Khan) previously addressed the opioid crisis with “Drug of Choice” and has worked with Royce Da 5’9” and D12, pushing boundaries that reach beyond just beats and bars.

50 . Kid Cudi – Grave
|
Date Added : Jul 23,2025
Released on July 11, 2025, “Grave” serves as the second single from Kid Cudi’s forthcoming album *Free*, paired with a video by Samuel Bayer—the same director behind visuals for Nirvana and The Rolling Stones. Cudi shifts gears here, blending his moody aesthetic with what he calls the “Cudi version of pop,” steering him away from the edge without shedding the gloom entirely. Lyrics like “I stopped running to the grave, oh baby / Just to live another day, no maybes…” make perseverance sound like a one-man rescue mission. This one’s a follow-up to “Neverland” and walks in the long shadow of Cudi’s history, from “Day ‘N’ Nite (nightmare)” going Diamond to *INSANO* dropping in 2024. Scott Mescudi, born January 30, 1984, still draws from the introspection of *Man on the Moon*, just now with more gloss and fewer synthesizers pretending not to cry.
|
49 . Babyface Ray – Netflix & Chill
|
Date Added : Jul 23,2025
Released in July 2025, “Netflix & Chill” lands as the second track from Babyface Ray’s upcoming album “Codeine Cowboy.” The production sticks to Detroit tradition—sharp bounce, crisp drum kit, and laser-guided synths gliding over a moody key loop. Lyrically, Ray kicks off by admitting he can’t unwind, the everyday grind and losses keeping him in constant motion. There’s a melancholy lurking beneath the menace, a haze the beat helps hold in place while Ray pushes through with steady poise. The music video mirrors the track’s visual tone, keeping things as restless and charged as the man behind it. Babyface Ray, born Marcellus Rayvon Register on February 7, 1991, has been active in Detroit’s rap scene since 2014, with early standouts like “MIA Season” and “Ghetto Wave.” He threads local culture and trap style throughout, and “Netflix & Chill” continues that habit with familiar, slightly off-kilter ease.
|
48 . Benny The Butcher – East Side Butch Freestyle
|
Date Added : Jul 23,2025
Released on July 16, 2025, “East Side Butch Freestyle” lands as part of Benny The Butcher’s “Summertime Butch 2,” hitting local pride hard by dropping on 716 Day—a not-so-subtle nod to Buffalo’s area code. The official video takes Benny to the top of Seneca One Tower, where he delivers his verses live, flanked by sweeping city views and stories anchored in personal hardship and east side realities. The lyrics move through crime, community tension, and resilience, keeping one foot in street chronicles and another in Buffalo’s unpolished history. It’s the same lane he drove in “Excelsior,” and he still rolls with crew like Westside Gunn and Bun B, backed by production from Mike Will Made It and Daringer. Benny’s been in this pocket since “Tana Talk 3” put him on the radar in 2018, and “Burden of Proof” chart action in 2020 didn’t hurt either.
|
47 . DeeBaby – Chicago Baby
|
Date Added : Jul 23,2025
Released July 18, 2025, “Chicago Baby” slides into DeeBaby’s 2025 rollout with just enough timing irony: the video drops a day before. The Houston rapper, born Jesus Martinez, stitches his Southern and Latin rap roots into a trap-tinged framework that tends to linger on resilience and the family you pick, not the one you’re born into. It’s no coincidence the track shows up around his Ms. Salazar Tour dates in—you guessed it—Chicago. This isn’t his first go at tightly wound storytelling either; tracks like “Marz” already hinted at his taste for raw edges and half-buried sentiment. Hip-hop heads and fan forums don’t miss it, but the song hums along in its lane, content without chasing headlines.
|
46 . Sheff G – Real Drill
|
Date Added : Jul 23,2025
Clocking in under two minutes, “Real Drill” has Sheff G dropping baritone-laced bars over a bare-bones beat laced with ominous 808s and jittery hi-hats. Released in July 2025, the freestyle sidesteps melody in favor of grit, with punchlines stacked like cement blocks in a corner store shootout. Sheff G, born Michael Williams in Brooklyn, brings the same rawness that marked his breakout with “No Suburban” back in 2017. This time, he sharpens his drill toolkit without abandoning the formula that helped feed “Proud Of Me Now” (2020) and his run with Winners Circle Entertainment.
|
45 . Lil Yachty – Won’t Diss You
|
Date Added : Jul 20,2025
Lil Yachty rolls out “Won’t Diss You” in July 2025 via Quality Control Music and Motown Records, with Childboy on production duties. The track arrives with a VHS-style video, where saturated colors and retro glitches do the heavy lifting, offering a made-for-tape aesthetic just shy of ironic homage. Yachty floats through the visuals in color-coordinated fits, vintage jewelry in tow, and classic luxury cars parked like props. Born in Georgia in 1997, Miles Parks McCollum first veered into public view through entries like “One Night” and the lightly surrealist anthem “Minnesota.” His early work gave rise to what’s been called “bubblegum trap,” crystallized in projects like his debut, “Lil Boat.” Outside the studio, his wardrobe choices aren’t just for show—Yachty occasionally crosses into fashion plays beyond the booth. Music video directed by : Amd Visuals And Little Miles

44 . Rio Da Yung Og – Sneaky “B”
|
Date Added : Jul 20,2025
Fresh out of prison in December 2024, Da’Mario Horne-McCullough—better known as Rio Da Yung OG—drops “Sneaky ‘B’,” his first standout solo cut since the *RIO FREE* tape. The track pulls no punches, bringing the intensity and quick wit listeners have come to expect from Flint’s most caustic punchline architect. Building on a career that dates back to 2008 debut cuts like “City on My Back,” and punctuated by the 2017 EP “My Life,” Rio doesn’t sound like someone easing back into the game. The pace is urgent, the references dense, and the delivery still very much shaped by the in-your-face economy of the Flint and Detroit rap scenes. Past collaborations with the likes of Lil Yachty might have broadened his reach, but “Sneaky ‘B'” feels like he never left the corner. Song featured on the album : F.L.I.N.T. (Feeling Like I’M Not Through)
|
43 . Jorjiana – Shark (w/ Babyfxce E & Chuckyy)
|
Date Added : Jul 20,2025
“Shark” comes out in 2025, adding another coil to Jorjiana’s expanding stack of singles. Born Jorja Alek Faith-Wilson on December 31, 2004, in Michigan City, Indiana, she rarely leans on theatrics—just that conversational tone and a beat that ducks no corners. The remix ropes in Babyfxce E and Chuckyy, leaning into Jorjiana’s tendency to mix voices like she’s adjusting balance levels rather than chasing features. The track joins others like “Wok Sauce” and “Elevator Spaghetti,” where genre lines tend to blur into low-fidelity confessions or shrugged flexes. By the time “ILBB2,” first heard in October 2024, gets rerouted with GloRilla and BabyChiefDoit, Jorjiana is no longer just trying out ideas—she’s layering them intentionally. “Shark” previously included Rio Da Yung Og, which tells you how often her tracks mutate before they settle. She doesn’t so much chase a sound as walk past it, mid-conversation, headphones still on. Song featured on the album : We Outside
|
42 . 2 Chainz – I Wanna Win
|
Date Added : Jul 20,2025
“I Wanna Win” marks the fourth single from the “Red Clay” soundtrack, a short film project co-led by 2 Chainz and Omar Epps. Set to a beat crafted by producer 30 Roc, it opens with Crystal Waters’ “Gypsy Woman” sampled into something less house party, more life report. 2 Chainz raps about ambition and keep-going-even-when-you-don’t-want-to, threading in flashes of his own journey. The music video features a youth basketball game where his son, Halo, takes the court—parental pride not exactly hidden. Raised in College Park, Georgia, Tauheed Epps first emerged with Playaz Circle and “Duffle Bag Boy” before rewiring his path from Virginia State to Grammy winner.

41 . JayDon & Zeddy Will – Boujee Baby
|
Date Added : Jul 20,2025
JayDon teams up with Zeddy Will on “Boujee Baby,” a June 2025 release produced by Blaq Tuxedo. JayDon handles the hook, serenading a high-maintenance muse, while Zeddy throws in a verse about dropping cash and reminding her exes who’s boss. Hard drums meet lingering piano notes, leaving just enough room for lines like “Ain’t trippin’ if you got a man / He gon’ have to understand this love.” JayDon McCrary—who once voiced young Simba and went by JD—follows up tracks like “Lullaby” with Paradise and “Ah Ah!” featuring 310babii. Music video directed by : Max Otg – Song featured on the album : Me, My Songs, And I (Ep
|
40 . Yung Gravy – I Write Hymns Not Travesties
|
Date Added : Jul 20,2025
Released in June 2025 after a 10-month break, “I Write Hymns Not Travesties” finds Yung Gravy flipping Panic! At The Disco’s punchline-laden hit into a paean to cash flow and personal gain. Crafted alongside Diamond Pistols, the track sees Gravy writing, recording, producing, mixing, and mastering, ticking all the boxes on the behind-the-scenes bingo card. It’s comedy rap through and through, with ironic nods and tongue-in-cheek swagger that mirror the retro-flavored trap style he’s mined since 2016’s Platinum-certified “Mr. Clean.” Between projects like “Sensational”—home to the Gold single “Magic”—and this latest twist on an emo-pop staple, Gravy keeps pastiche and deadpan bravado riding shotgun.
|
39 . Travis Scott – Dumbo
|
Date Added : Jul 20,2025
Released in July 2025, “Dumbo” lands as a mid-album detour that leans into Travis Scott’s ongoing interest in blurring indulgence with introspection. Produced by Dilip and Otxhello, the track pairs atmospheric beats with lyrics circling the usual suspects—luxury, excess, and fragmented autobiography. The video doesn’t shy away from the visual clout either, staging sculptural compositions that pit glossy opulence against cold industrial backdrops. Part of a larger project featuring voices like 21 Savage, Playboi Carti, Tyla, and NBA YoungBoy, “Dumbo” stays in line with Scott’s flair for loaded cameos and blurred genre lines. From his start in The Graduates duo in 2008 to projects like “Owl Pharaoh” and “Rodeo,” Scott, born Jacques Webster in Houston, charts a career that rarely repeats but often loops back. “Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight” (2016), “Astroworld” (2018), and 2023’s “Utopia” round out a catalog where sonic maximalism and auteur mythos go hand in hand. Music video directed by : Gabriel Moses – Song featured on the album : Jackboys 2
|
38 . SoFaygo – MM3
|
Date Added : Jul 20,2025
“MM3” links SoFaygo with JACKBOYS once more, this time under the umbrella of the 2025 group project “JACKBOYS2.” Built on a base of rage rap energy, the track comes with a music video featuring a car meet—tonal match included. SoFaygo, born Andre Dontrel Burt Jr. in Atlanta in 2001, still rides momentum from “Knock Knock,” the breakout off his 2020 mixtape “Angel.” Travis Scott’s crew stays in the rearview, but close enough to count as passengers. Music video directed by : Paperwork
|
37 . Chuckyy – No Blickout
|
Date Added : Jul 20,2025
Chuckyy fires off “No Blickout” with the subtlety of a car alarm, aiming squarely at YFG Fatso in a diss track that doubles as a nostalgic nod to his own 2023 breakout, “Free 40.” The production hits hard and low, matching the 18-year-old’s confrontational delivery with a beat built for unresolved street conversations at full volume. Released in July 2025, the track circles back to his early drill roots, favoring raw edges and lyrical bite over polish. At this point, Charles Edward Davis seems less interested in growth than in turning up the volume—still very online, still very Chicago.
|
36 . Larry June & Cardo Got Wings – 50’s In The City
|
Date Added : Jul 20,2025
“50’s in the City” leans heavily on Larry June’s laid-back but confident flow, riding smoothly across Cardo Got Wings’ groove-centered production. It’s cut from the same cloth as previous tracks like “Black Man,” “On the Unda,” and “Ya Feel Me,” which features a verse from Bay Area mainstay E-40. Leonard Eugene Hendricks III—Larry June to most—adds this release to a catalog that already includes 19 projects, with titles like “Orange Print” and “Spaceships on the Blade.” Song featured on the album : Until Night Comes
|
35 . Juice WRLD – The Way (w/ XXXTENTACION)
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
Released in July 2025 for the five-year anniversary of “Legends Never Die,” “The Way” pairs Juice WRLD and XXXTENTACION in a posthumous collaboration produced by John Cunningham. An acoustic guitar loops through the mix, with airy keys softening the edges, serving as a quiet frame for verses about isolation, unease, and mental strain. It’s their second official appearance on the same record, the first not being entirely original, but fans weren’t keeping score. Juice WRLD—born Jarad Higgins—built his rise blending rap, emo, and rock, peaking with “Lucid Dreams” and a chart-topping follow-up before his abrupt 2019 exit. Music video directed by : Steve Cannon – Song featured on the album : Legends Never Die (5 Year Anniversary Edition)
|
34 . YoungBoy Never Broke Again – Kickboxer
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
Released in July 2025, “Kickboxer” joins five other singles teased ahead of YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s eighth studio album. The track appears via Never Broke Again and Motown Records, extending the rapper’s prolific timeline without breaking his stride. Producers Cheese, LondnBlue, and Mally Mall handle the beat, while YoungBoy delivers vocals throughout, as on the rest of the rollout. Born Kentrell Gaulden in Baton Rouge, he first hit the charts with “Outside Today” in 2018, just before legal headlines became recurring plot points. Song featured on the album : Masa (Make America Slime Again)
|
33 . IShowSpeed – Big Girls
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
Darren Jason Watkins Jr., better known as IShowSpeed, drops “Big Girls” in July 2025, marking another chapter in his ongoing flirtation with rap. Over a barebones hip-hop beat, he piles on provocation in his typical no-filter style—less poetry, more punch. The track arrives via Warner Records, continuing the relationship that’s seen his music career run parallel to his online antics. Watkins, born January 21, 2005, went from streaming FIFA and Fortnite to stardom in 2021 and 2022, when his YouTube channel—launched in 2017—hit overdrive. He walked away with Breakout Streamer of the Year at the 12th Streamy Awards, which, in hindsight, feels less like an award and more like a warning.
|
32 . Clipse, Kendrick Lamar, Pusha T, Malice – Chains & Whips
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
“Chains & Whips” pairs Clipse—Virginia Beach brothers Pusha T and No Malice—with Kendrick Lamar, with Pharrell Williams back on the boards. Kendrick’s verse coils through systemic inequity and the hard-earned disquiet of Black fame, while No Malice folds in a spiritual diagnosis laced with self-scrutiny. Pusha T returns to a register shaped by the same trade that got them in the door two decades ago with *Lord Willin’* and *Hell Hath No Fury*. The hook flips “chains and whips” from plantation to penthouse, emblem of both generational wound and rap-built wealth. The track met delays and blowback from Def Jam, unamused by Kendrick’s inclusion after his public sparring with Drake—still awkward given Pusha’s part in that feud. When tensions crested, the label pulled the plug on Clipse entirely. Kendrick, once K-Dot from Compton, has since picked up 22 Grammys and a Pulitzer, but here he’s right in it, not above it. Song featured on the album : Let God Sort Em Out
|
31 . GIVĒON – I Can Tell
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
“I Can Tell” arrives via Epic Records and Not So Fast, resting on a bed of pulsing drums, electric guitar, and velvety harmonies that lean into a sense of unease more than romance. GIVĒON‘s baritone glides through a quiet confrontation: she’s clearly not happy—but he’s not exactly asking, he’s offering, slipping in the question “Tell me, is it his or mine?” The song nudges the album out of its early heartbreak phase and into something more forward-leaning, but not necessarily more hopeful. Born Giveon Dezmann Evans in Long Beach in 1995, GIVĒON made waves after linking up with Drake on “Chicago Freestyle,” which peaked at 14 on the Hot 100 in 2020. That same year, he signed to Epic and released *Take Time* and *When It’s All Said and Done*—one Grammy nod, one quintuple-platinum single (“Heartbreak Anniversary”), and eventually a Billboard 200 No. 5 when the projects merged. “Peaches,” his feature with Justin Bieber, went straight to No. 1, and his debut album *Give or Take* followed in 2022, peaking at No. 11. It all began in 2018, with “Garden Kisses” and the same low-simmer voice now circling someone else’s lover. Song featured on the album : Beloved
|
30 . Homixide Gang – 5G
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
“5G” pops up in 2025—or maybe crashes in, depending on your perspective—courtesy of Homixide Gang, the Atlanta duo signed to Playboi Carti’s Opium label. Homixide Beno! and Homixide Meechie bring their usual energy, but this time over a guitar-heavy beat that lifts its spine from the Smashing Pumpkins’ 1993 alt-rock track “Cherub Rock.” The result lands somewhere between rage-rap and punk-tinged trap, with distorted riffs and breathless ad-libs doing most of the talking. Coming off a streak that started with 2022’s “Homixide Lifestyle,” followed by 2023’s “Snot or Not” and 2024’s “i5u5we5,” the pair keep their foot on the gas—no turn signal in sight.
|
29 . RNB.FOEMOB – Heavy
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
RNB.FOEMOB doubles down on his 2025 momentum with “Heavy,” a terse, two-minute single built on weighty beats and a sharp-tongued flow. It lands right after “Till Dawn” and “Texas (Remix),” framing a rollout that leans precision over volume. Born April 2005 in San Antonio, he starts writing under house arrest at sixteen, with a felony charge and idle time as unplanned collaborators. “Classroom Freestyle” goes viral, but “Texas”—plus remixes with Lil Keke and DJ Michael Watts—secures his footing in the state’s rap circuits. Still unsigned, he sidesteps label deals and steers things his way, prioritizing collaboration and steady release over quick commitments.
|
28 . Sickick – Nirvana
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
“Nirvana” pulls up in Sickick’s catalog with the usual accoutrements: high-gloss nightlife, jet-set illusions, and the spiritual significance of the DJ booth. The lyrics name-check travel-lust, rhythm catharsis, and a taste for indulgence, all filtered through Sickick’s signature masked detachment. Composition and songwriting are handled by Sickick himself, whose R&B-and-bass hybrid—dubbed “SickHop”—remains confidently intact. Released under Sick Universe Corp in 2025, the track maintains his Toronto-born habit of blending club tropes with minor-key melodrama. The video features Ashley Massiah, visually echoing the luxe-escape motif, because nothing says nirvana like a well-styled stare under strobes and shadows. Music video directed by : Dragan Andic – Song featured on the album : The Remnants
|
27 . Paul Wall & DJ.Fresh – Blantons Tonite
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
“Blantons Tonite” pairs Paul Wall’s laid-back cadence with DJ.Fresh’s smooth, horn-laced production, where subtle drums hold the floor without fuss. The verses take a measured look at longevity and craft, tracing a quiet arc of persistence rather than reinvention. The title nods to the bourbon Blanton’s—aged, not flamboyant—which fits the track’s unhurried pace and soft shimmer. It marks the first single from their forthcoming joint album, *The Tonite Show*, continuing a partnership launched earlier in 2024. Wall, who charted with “Sittin’ Sideways” and “Grillz,” first topped Billboard in 2005 with his debut, “The Peoples Champ.” Fresh brings in his seasoned ear from past *Tonite Show* sessions with names who thrive on nuance over noise. Music video directed by : @Dwillgetitdone – Song featured on the album : The Tonight Show
|
26 . Payroll Giovanni – Memory
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
“Memory” drops in June 2025 via BYLUG Entertainment and EMPIRE Distribution, clocking in as a standalone single. The beat comes courtesy of Dam JonBoi, long-time Detroit collaborator not exactly known for restraint. Payroll Giovanni sticks to his lane—Detroit hip-hop and trap—with the precision of someone who’s been here since his Doughboyz Cashout days. The release trails his 2024 full-length “Hustle Muzik,” an 18-track solo effort that joins “Big Bossin’ Vol. 1” and “Giovanni’s Way” in his catalog.
|
25 . Slick Rick – Documents (w/ Nas)
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
“Documents” brings Slick Rick and Nas back in the booth, this time in London, trading measured bars on persistence and time’s wear. The track appears on Slick Rick’s 2025 comeback, his first full-length since 1999, with he and Idris Elba steering the project as co-executive producers. What sounds like an overdue reunion comes off more like two professionals enjoying familiar company—uncomplicated, brisk, effective. It’s a fitting feature for Rick, born Ricky Walters in 1965 in London, whose career began with Doug E. Fresh before solo cuts like “Children’s Story” and “Mona Lisa.” “Documents” slips neatly into a catalog spanning *The Great Adventures of Slick Rick* through *The Art of Storytelling*, reminding listeners that technique doesn’t disappear; it just waits its turn. Song featured on the album : Victory

24 . Khantrast – Gnarly Remix
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
Released in June 2025, “GNARLY REMIX” loops Khantrast‘s punchy vocal layering into a high-voltage beat cooked up by 4P and KosfingerBeats. The Brooklyn-born rapper, on vocal duty and center stage, delivers his lines with measured ferocity and more than a sprinkle of explicit swagger. Published under the IIP-DDS label, the track sticks to Khantrast’s usual fusion: boom bap spine, jazz-flavored limbs, and a 21st-century filter. Since his 2019 kickoff with “Build With Me” and a viral detour via “Naruto Bluebird Freestyle,” he’s kept the circuits warm with names like Junoflo and Rustage. Music video directed by : Adam Hans
|
23 . BLP Kosher – Jack And Jill
|
Date Added : Jul 14,2025
Released in June 2025, “Jack And Jill” trades BLP Kosher’s usual aggression for a meditative beat swirled with ghostly synths, icy key flashes, and trap percussion that lands like broken glass. The Florida rapper—born Benjamin Landy Pavlon—still delivers sharp, chaotic bars layered with oddball references, from raw onions to “Austin & Ally.” Known for weaving his Jewish background into his work, Kosher follows tapes like “BLP Kosher and the Magic Dreidel” and albums like “Bars Mitzvah” with a track that spotlights loyalty and crew over gloss and glitz. The chorus leans sentimental but doesn’t forget to flex, keeping one foot in street logic and the other in Bizarro World. Music video directed by : Shot By @Noahsocold
|
22 . BabyChiefDoit – Went West
|
Date Added : Jul 11,2025
“Went West” arrives June 2025 with BabyChiefDoit—aka Jayden Whittier—trading gloss for grit in a track distributed by Artist Partner Group. Over production from Questionizer, he lays down verses laced with loyalty tests, survival codes, and flickers of defiance. Grounded in Chicago’s urban landscape, the track squares up to systemic pressures while pulling from BabyChiefDoit’s own lived story. It’s hip-hop, yes—but without the escape hatch.
|
21 . Lil Man J & Kidd G – Sippin Country Remix
|
Date Added : Jul 11,2025
“Sippin Country Remix” throws North Carolina rapper Lil Man J and Georgia-born Kidd G into the cab of a jacked-up truck, windows down, beat bumping loud enough to scare the deer. Mixing melodic rap with country’s back road fixations, the track pulls together rural pride, checking accounts in good shape, and the occasional romantic subplot. Jack Benfield, better known as Lil Man J, leans into the flow that made “Cap Freestyle” a viral hit, while Kidd G (Jonathan Gabriel Horne, if you’re formal) does the storytelling thing country kids from Georgia tend to do. The result: a hybrid anthem that doesn’t really choose between twang and trap—because it can have both. Music video directed by : @Beanofilms & @Directed_By_Thomaseutzy

20 . Benny The Butcher – Summer ’25
|
Date Added : Jul 11,2025
“Summer ’25” opens with Jonathan Richman’s “That Summer Feeling” and already sounds like it’s counting the days back to July. Released in early July 2025, the track reflects on one year of change without lapsing into sentiment or solutions. Benny The Butcher doesn’t rewrite his catalog here—just updates it, a Buffalo State of mind still very much in effect. Part of the Griselda collective, he’s been in the picture since “Tana Talk 3” (2018) and moves knowingly through a post-“Burden of Proof” (2020) world.

19 . Blac Youngsta – GoT MoE DoE
|
Date Added : Jul 11,2025
Released in July 2025 as part of the “FirEWorkS BBittYY” project, “GoT MoE DoE” finds Blac Youngsta back in familiar territory, pairing aggressive flows with trap-heavy production. The track leans into his gritty persona, a style sharpened since his 2015 breakout single “Heavy.” Born April 8, 1990, in Memphis, Blac Youngsta first hit the radar with his debut album “223,” which pulled in names like Travis Scott. “Booty,” a gold-certified single, helped keep him in rotation long after the first mixtapes faded. Song featured on the album : Fireworks Bbittyy

18 . RMC Mike – We The Ones
|
Date Added : Jul 11,2025
RMC Mike’s “We The Ones,” out since June 2025, sticks to the rough-edged formula he carved out growing up in Flint, Michigan. The track leans on the grainy voice and dry punchlines that first took shape on SoundCloud and sharpened through years of local alliances and street-seasoned narratives. Mike came up in the late 2010s alongside names like Rio Da Yung OG and KrispyLife Kidd, trading verses that mix grit with mischief. “We The Ones” follows projects like Rookie Season (2019), Dumb and Dum3r, and Senior Season (2023), slotting neatly into a catalog built on blunt observations and unpolished flair.

17 . Doe Boy & Fetty Wap – Lil Sexy
|
Date Added : Jul 11,2025
Released in June 2025 via Epic Records and Freebandz, “Lil Sexy” brings together Doe Boy and Fetty Wap over a Shy Boogs beat. It’s not the first time Fetty croons his way through a hook while Doe Boy, born Cotrell J. Dennard in Cleveland in 1994, does the heavy lifting with clipped bars and local flair. Doe Boy, who came up with 2012’s “Boyz N Da Hood 2” and returned stronger post-2017 prison release, lands here fresh off tapes like “In Freebandz We Trust 2” and “Streetz Need Me 2,” the latter known for “Walk Down” with YG. He’s shared tracks with Lil Uzi Vert and 21 Savage, but “Lil Sexy” leans on simpler pleasures: a swaggering title, a melodic assist from Fetty, and enough bravado to keep it moving.

16 . 4Batz – When I Get Home (w/ Wale)
|
Date Added : Jul 11,2025
Moody keys, a cardiac-tempo beat, and 4Batz singing like he’s five heartbreaks deep set the tone for “When I Get Home.” He stretches vowels like he’s trying to reach someone who’s already halfway gone, while Wale counters with verses that drift between rueful and hopeful. It’s a quiet back-and-forth on longing and late apologies, summed up in lines like “I gotta do this for both of us, baby.” After viral turns with “act i: stickerz ’99” and “act ii: date @ 8,” the Dallas native sticks to what works—muted production, big feelings, and an echo of what-if.

15 . Ski Mask The Slump God – Catch Me Outside 2
|
Date Added : Jul 7,2025
“Catch Me Outside 2” lands in July 2025 via Victor Victor Worldwide Inc. and EMPIRE, shot through with production by Timbaland and Missy Elliot. Ski Mask The Slump God maintains his speed-rapper credentials here—bouncing between detailed rhyme chains and lines that toggle between cartoonish punchlines and murkier flashes. The beat blends southern trap staples—hi-hats, blown-out 808s—with nods to early-2000s flair, not straying far from the energy of his SoundCloud-era cuts. It also tips back to 2017’s “Catch Me Outside,” the gold-certified original that first fired up off his debut mixtape You Will Regret. Born Stokeley Clevon Goulbourne in 1996 in Fort Lauderdale, he first emerged with the Members Only crew alongside XXXTentacion. His rapid rise led to Stokeley (2018), which hit #6 on Billboard 200, followed by 11th Dimension in June 2024. Music video directed by : Cole Bennett

14 . Drake – What Did I Miss
|
Date Added : Jul 7,2025
Released in July 2025, “What Did I Miss?” opens the ninth studio album from Drake with a list of grievances and a few strategic shoutouts. The lyrics wade through betrayal and shaky allegiances, taking clear aim at Kendrick Lamar in the wake of their much-discussed feud. There’s a nod to Lamar’s Juneteenth 2024 Pop Out show, with LeBron James and DeMar DeRozan making the guest list in passing. The track debuted via livestream from an Iceman-branded warehouse, a setting as Toronto-coded as the narrative Drake continues to stitch together. Aubrey Graham, born in 1986 in Toronto, is still releasing music that draws the spotlight without asking nicely. Song featured on the album : Iceman
|
13 . Kenny Muney – On Fire
|
Date Added : Jul 7,2025
Released in June 2025 via Paper Route Empire, “On Fire” finds Kenny Muney delivering explicit bars over a beat by Aimonmyneck that does little to cool him down. The Memphis rapper’s aggressive delivery meets a steady rhythmic flow, shaping lyrics that never stray far from the street-level focus he’s tied to since “YTN Freestyle.” After past releases with Atlantic Records, Muney stays in his lane here—loud, curt, and not asking for permission. Song featured on the album : Kenjamin Franklin

12 . Larry June, Cardo Got Wings & E-40 – Ya Feel Me
|
Date Added : Jul 7,2025
In “Ya Feel Me,” Larry June and E-40 trade laid-back verses over Cardo Got Wings’ glossy production, somewhere between a low-speed chase and a product placement reel. The video cruises through Bay Area staples—the Golden Gate Bridge, orange juice in hand for June, Earl Stevens wine for 40—with the kind of casual self-awareness that shrugs before it sells. Dropped in 2025, the single continues the June-Cardo assembly line ahead of their next project, “Until Night Comes.” June, born Leonard Eugene Hendricks III, stacks this release alongside albums like “Orange Print” and “Spaceships on the Blade,” adding another loop to his extensive underground rotation.
|
11 . Mozzy & YFN Lucci – 23 AND 1
|
Date Added : Jul 5,2025
On “23 AND 1,” Mozzy and YFN Lucci square off against isolation with verses that don’t flinch. Released in July 2025, the track rolls out a cross-regional pairing: Sacramento’s Mozzy and Atlanta’s YFN Lucci trading bars like old letters from opposite ends of the yard. Timothy Cornell Patterson, active since 2004, slips in the same defiant grit that shaped “Bladadah.” Rayshawn Bennett, the voice behind “Everyday We Lit,” keeps the mood just melodic enough to sting.
|
10 . Gunna – Won’t Stop
|
Date Added : Jul 5,2025
Recorded in Johannesburg during a 2025 creative sprint, “Won’t Stop” is Gunna‘s first solo release of the year, slipping in quietly after last year’s “Got Damn.” The track rides a sparse beat courtesy of Turbo, featuring a downcast piano and some hesitant cymbals—just enough to keep things moving without getting ahead of themselves. Born Sergio Kitchens in College Park, Georgia, Gunna checks in with the same melodic restraint that carried “Wunna,” “DS4EVER,” and “A Gift & A Curse.” If there’s an urge to do more here, it never quite wins out—he won’t stop, sure, but he won’t shout about it either. Music video directed by : Spike Jordan

9 . Tink & Bryson Tiller – Can We Talk?
|
Date Added : Jul 5,2025
Tink and Bryson Tiller keep things direct on “Can We Talk?”, a 2025 R&B track produced by Hitmaka that prods at the sticky gaps in romantic communication. The production slides between moody minimalism and melodic gloss, giving both artists room to swap verses that don’t pretend everything’s fine when it isn’t. Tink, who first broke through with her “Winter’s Diary” mixtapes before signing to Timbaland’s Mosley Music Group in 2014, leans into her trademark blend of rap edges and smooth R&B hooks. Tiller, ever the quiet storm operator, plays it lowkey but pointed, circling around emotional honesty like he’s been through this before.
|
8 . DeeBaby – Atlanta Baby
|
Date Added : Jul 5,2025
Released in late June 2025, “Atlanta Baby” trades in DeeBaby’s usual mix of Southern heat and Latin cadence. Born Jesus Martinez in Houston in 1996, he leans into regional pride with one foot in H-Town, the other tapping in Atlanta. The lyrics circle around money, loyalties, and whoever’s texting late at night. The whole thing slides over a beat that’s more slick than subtle, which seems to be the point. It’s an extension of the style he teased in earlier tracks like “Marz,” only here filtered through a 404 zip code.
|
7 . Sauce Walka & Peso Peso & OgDBerry – 4 Pints
|
Date Added : Jul 5,2025
Released in June 2025, “4 Pints” pairs Sauce Walka, Peso Peso, and OgDBerry over percussive trap production with a focus on street-coded themes. The track reflects the sonic identity of The Sauce Factory, the Houston label Sauce Walka founded in 2014 as a vehicle for his brand of “drip.” Walka—Albert Walker Mondane—first gained notice with Sauce Twinz, where he applied generous seasoning to Southern flows. Peso Peso brings his TSF affiliation and Mexican-American background to the mix without shifting gears from the label’s tone. OgDBerry, a steady presence in Texas circles, rounds out the cut with verses that don’t try to steal the show.

6 . ScarLip – Runaway Love Freestyle
|
Date Added : Jul 5,2025
ScarLip opens 2025 with “Runaway Love Freestyle,” a surprisingly tender pivot on the 2006 Ludacris and Mary J. Blige original, keeping Polow Da Don’s beat intact and Blige’s hooks in place. Not one to waste nostalgia, she loops in her Bronx upbringing and hard-won perspective, moving from brash to bare with lines about trauma and survival. It’s the first track of the year from Sierra Lucas—ScarLip if you’re not into government names—who started writing poems in foster care and prefers her verses gritty and personal. Since “Glizzy Gobbler” (2022) and “This is New York” (2023), she’s signed to Epic, traded stunts for stories, and now leans into vulnerability without dropping the snarl. Song featured on the album : Scarred B4 Fame

5 . Peysoh – Same Day Service
|
Date Added : Jul 5,2025
Hard-hitting and clocking in under three minutes, “Same Day Service” lands in June 2025 via EMPIRE, leaving no room for second takes. Peysoh keeps his pen close to home—Maywood, California—and closer still to experience, drawing from a 21-year-old life spent navigating Los Angeles, on and off the mic. Born Timothy Obotuke, he launched with “6 Block” and has since threaded autobiography through cuts like Ghetto Journal and Get Rich or Life Sliding. The beat doesn’t suggest patience, and neither does the delivery—each verse serves notice, no courtesy knock.
|
4 . Chance The Rapper – Tree (w/ Lil Wayne And Smino)
|
Date Added : Jul 5,2025
“Tree,” released in July 2025, finds Chance The Rapper linking back up with Lil Wayne and Smino for a smoke-laced reverie. The track drifts through cannabis themes with a tongue planted firmly in cheek and a delivery that winks more than it preaches. Produced by Groove and DexLVL, it piles another layer on Chance’s patchwork of collaborations—see “No Problem” for a past Lil Wayne joint, and “Eternal” for when he crossed paths with Smino. Chance, whose Acid Rap mixtape and Coloring Book project hover somewhere between freeform sermon and digital-era nostalgia, continues sidestepping the label machinery with a grin and a raised eyebrow. Music video directed by : Chance The Rapper – Song featured on the album : Star Line

3 . El Camo & 4wrld Osama – Sinners
|
Date Added : Jul 5,2025
Released mid-June 2025 via 7439309 Records, “Sinners” clocks in just past two minutes and doesn’t waste a second pretending to be polite. El Camo, active since 2024, keeps feeding his high-tempo underground rap habit, previously shown in “Reaping” and “Slidinn.” 4wrld Osama brings his usual flair for collaboration, landing again in familiar sonic territory. The result? A track that’s short on sentiment and long on momentum. Music video directed by : @Ihm_Clouis

2 . Nino Breeze – 448 Flow
|
Date Added : Jul 5,2025
Nino Breeze resurfaces with “448 Flow,” his first release since signing with Maybach Music Group in 2024. Released in June 2025, the track channels his years of legal trouble and prison time into tight, unflinching bars that don’t ask for sympathy. Breeze, born Vaughn Matthews in St. Petersburg, Florida, started rapping at 14 and made waves with his 2013 mixtape Trigga City Goon. After serving six years on a federal case, he didn’t stop recording, because why waste time just doing time? “448 Flow” lands just after his collab with Moneybagg Yo on “Type A N***a”—timing that seems suspiciously deliberate. Music video directed by : Shot By Gg – Song featured on the album : Til The Tape – Ep

1 . DC The Don – Get Naked
|
Date Added : Jul 5,2025
Released in May 2025 as DC The Don’s first independent drop under LETTER 5 LLC & Create Music Group, “Get Naked” leans straight into club territory. It lifts the iconic kick-and-clap loop from Gwen Stefani’s “Hollaback Girl” and pairs it with a growling bassline and ambient vocal textures. The lyrics move through nightlife flings with a wry tone, blurring the lines between attraction and escape. DC The Don—aka Daijon Cotty Davis from Milwaukee—first stirred things up with Come as You Are (2020) and landed in XXL’s 2023 Freshman Class. Music video directed by : Danny Kirchner
