5 . DYSTINCT & Werenoi – Boss
|
Date Added : Apr 16,2025
“Boss” pairs Belgian-Moroccan performer DYSTINCT with French rapper Werenoi over a beat sculpted by No Limit and DJ Milane. Heard through the haze of late-night ambition, the track filters urban soundscapes through DYSTINCT’s hybrid of R&B, hip-hop, Arabic flair, and Latin inflections. Werenoi’s clipped delivery keeps things grounded, a counterpoint to DYSTINCT’s smooth refrains drawn from his “Monarchie” palette. Music video directed by : Black Anouar

4 . Pressa – Product Launching
|
Date Added : Apr 16,2025
With “Product Launching,” Pressa trades fanfare for minimalism, declaring it needs no rollout at all. Toronto’s melodic trap figure sharpens his delivery over sparse production, sidestepping theatrics for a tone of detached confidence. Since “Novacane” in 2016, Pressa’s catalog, including “Gardner Express” and collaborations with Lil Uzi Vert and Coi Leray, sketches a portrait unbothered by convention.

Date Added : Apr 16,2025
“Talk Badness” is a dancehall track by Sansand—Alexandre Binta by birth—hailing from Cabassou, French Guiana. Backed by the 357 Mad Dawgz Family collective, he delivers lines that navigate the code-switching theatrics of street etiquette with a deadpan precision. Released in April 2025, the single draws from a sound palette that favors sharp percussive elements and minimal melodic distractions. Music video directed by : Npmp

2 . Prince Swanny – Funtime
|
Date Added : Apr 16,2025
“Funtime” filters Prince Swanny’s Trinibad style through a lens of trap minimalism and Caribbean syncopation, delivering a low-slung rhythm that teeters between menace and mischief. Swanny, born Taryll Swan in Trinidad and Tobago, blends dancehall intuition with soca roots, refining a sound first shaped by his 2017 track “Go Fi Dem.” His 2019 debut LP “Trinidad’s Bad Man” hinted early at the zesser energy he now channels with studied detachment.

1 . Demarco – Go My Best Friend
|
Date Added : Apr 16,2025
“Go My Best Friend” sees Jamaican artist and producer Demarco lean into a sardonic kind of loyalty anthem, where camaraderie walks hand-in-hand with swagger. Released under True Gift Ent in April 2025, the single skims the edges of dancehall bravado while nodding, perhaps mockingly, to the brotherhood trope. Demarco, whose early notoriety came with “Fallen Soldiers,” continues his post-“Melody” trajectory with unflinching consistency.
