|
Date Added : Apr 13,2025
“Sweepstakes Nice” threads Dancehall with Trap, allowing Skippa’s clipped cadence and terse delivery to trace a narrative stitched with street grit and brash self-assurance.

|
Date Added : Apr 13,2025
“Non Metterci Becco” pairs Sfera Ebbasta and Shiva in a trap-laced flex, where wristwear gets name-checked and street codes are non-negotiable. The title, translating to “Don’t Stick Your Nose In,” becomes a refrain for autonomy over lifestyle and lyricism. Shiva calls himself “the top, even a blind man can see it,” while Sfera keeps his territory clear: “My stuff, don’t stick your nose in.” Thots are returned to the ghetto like borrowed goods. Music video directed by : Late Milk – Song featured on the album : Santana Money Gang

Sliding from street corner confessions to whispered threats, he sings of heat, honey, and doing as he pleases, no permission necessary. “C’est nous la météo,” he shrugs, self-crowned arbiter of mood swings. Half-lover, half-menace, he asks for health—everything else, expendable. Rules bend, then break. Music video directed by : Arthur Keasy & Maxime Fourmont & Joss Stinson

Released in March 2025, the track doesn’t blink as it marches through a world of quiet vendettas and blurred moral lines, a space dancehall often reserves for its starkest storytelling.

In a litany of late-night entanglements and unread messages, he sidesteps emotional accountability, trading intimacy for independence and leaving his counterpart spiraling in sleepless nostalgia. A steady beat underpins declarations like “L’amour c’est bien mais ce n’est pas pour moi,” as he reclaims space on his own terms. Music video directed by : Owen Still
|
29 . Abra Cadabra – Facts Not Cap (w/ Clavish)
|
Date Added : Apr 9,2025
“Facts Not Cap” pairs Abra Cadabra and Clavish in a mutual audit of authenticity, where lyrical bravado toe-tags studio illusion. Trading verses between penthouse heat and whispered get-backs, they recount block-based incidents with almost bureaucratic detachment. Abra, in self-imposed retirement from drilling, questions performative violence while asserting past actions are already documented—on camera, no less. Clavish folds in stats, sugar, and suspiciously silent entourages, challenging the mythos of the so-called gunman with surgical indifference.

As a member of Crni Cerak, Biba continues to inject regional textures into a genre otherwise saturated with imported tropes. Music video directed by : Petar Kacketdole & Dffrntvibe
|
26 . Giggs – 11th Of May

He delivers lines like “The street’s just a step-and-repeat that you’ll never complete” with a stoicism that sidesteps sentimentality.

Date Added : Apr 6,2025
Pitched halfway between menace and extravagance, “999” sees Jamal threading tales of sudden wealth with a smirk and a side-eye to law enforcement. Extracts like “we don’t show ID, remember we got cash” drift through a haze of coded luxury and street-side deals. One phone call equals a million, credit cards flicker in and out of service, and the car wash becomes both bank and confessional. The beat pulses with late-night transactions and glances over the shoulder. Music video directed by : Dario Magix

Produced by Troublemekka Music, the track loops mantras like “money all day, no play all day” with an obsessive cadence bordering on hypnotic. Verses unravel in clipped bursts: flashy whips, brick talk, and denim sagging under the weight of ambition. Recurring motifs—“it up, run it up, million, give me that”—echo like a mantra for a generation measuring worth in stacks and pull-ups. Jahshii, once runner-up at Popcaan’s Unruly Clash, continues his thematic trajectory threading resilience and currency as inseparables.

Released in February 2025, “Jour/Nuit” is a single by French hip-hop duo La Kadrilla, hailing from the Marnaudes block in Rosny-sous-Bois. Bara and Jamso, friends since childhood, moved from collective to duo, naming themselves after the Spanish “cuadrilla.” After a stint with Morton Music, they went independent in 2023, launching Machine à Production mere months before dropping their first mixtape, “M.A.P.” in 2024.

1 . Daima – Diefthintis
|
Date Added : Apr 2,2025
“Diefthintis” lands as a Greek hip-hop slice from DAIMA, laced with Stanley’s production and released under the “No Cap” label in February 2025. DAIMA, protégé of TRANNOS, sharpens his delivery with a tone that flirts with authority while skewering the pretense of self-made swagger. Rhymes unfold with clinical precision, borrowing cues from street bravado but never overstaying their welcome in cliché territory. Music video directed by : Nikolas Kontoudakis |
