10 Tracks That Slap
Octavian – Poison ft. Take A Daytrip, Obongjayar, Santi

Octavian’s latest single “Poison” features a drugged-out chorus from afrobeat artist Obongjayar as well as an effortless verse from alté singer-rapper Santi. This trifecta’s work is not something you want to miss. Oh, and also, the song is produced by Take A Daytrip if you needed any more convincing.

Isaiah Rashad – Why Worry

Guapdad 4000 – Trade Places With Them Jeans

Earl Sweatshirt – WHOLE WORLD (ft. Maxo, Prod. by Alchemist)

Earl Sweatshirt has been busy as of late, the rapper recently dropped guest verses for Drakeo’s “Ion Rap Beef” and Quelle Chris’s “Mirage.” This is his first solo release since his EP “FEET OF CLAY,” with Earl and Maxo sluggishly delivering raps about the end of the world. You can catch this on the deluxe edition of “FEET OF CLAY,” out June 26th. 

UMI – Mother Earth 

UMI presents a special tribute to Mother Earth.

Benny The Butcher ft. Rick Hyde & Heem

Lil Uzi Vert – Sasuke

A new track from Cautious Clay and friends for a good cause, all net proceeds go to MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund. 

Quelle Chris & Chris Keys – MIRAGE (feat. Earl Sweatshirt, Denmark Vessey, Merrill Garbus & Big Sen)

The new track from Quelle Chris and Chris Keys is a sequel to their 2015 album “Innocent Country.” “MIRAGE” features Earl Sweatshirt, Denmark Vessey, Merrill Garbus and Big Sen. The meditative track sits just above the 7-minute mark with a spoken word outro by Big Sen. If you wanted something that’s grounding to listen to, this is it. 

THE SCOTTS, Travis Scott, Kid Cudi – THE SCOTTS

This song is the equivalent of when you return to elementary school from a doctor’s appointment with a bag of McDonalds for lunch. It feels great now, but in 10 years, you’ll start to feel the effect of the double cheeseburger you never should have ordered.
