10 Tracks That Slap
Gorillaz (feat. slowthai and Slaves) - Momentary Bliss
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTt7301PR5k

The famously faceless band, Gorillaz, links up with England's slowthai and Slaves for a techno-punk banger. At the core of the song, "Momentary Bliss" is hardcore and fearless, featuring a standout verse from slowthai, and a killer hook from Slaves, it's kind of hard not to like this song. 

CJ Fly - Show You

In a beautifully crafted visual, CJ Fly gives a tour of New York, highlighting places of his past and places of his present. He's sporadically been releasing small two- or three-pack singles, but it's been about four years since we’ve gotten a full-length project from the Pro Era member. Hopefully, "Show You" leads to a full body of work being released in 2020.

Sada Baby - Slide
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQUYo4UCYS0

Sada Baby’s latest loosie is as bold as it is fun. He flipped The Gap Band’s “You Dropped A Bomb On Me,” into an intense, fast-paced banger. The song is one of Sada Baby’s best. We love anything Sada Baby. 

Phony Ppl - Fkn Around (feat. Megan thee Stallion)

Phony Ppl's latest single is euphoric and funky. The instrumental radiates like sunshine and with a catchy verse from Megan Thee Stallion, the newest Phony Ppl is a gift to the ears.

After the success of her excellent, jazzy debut album, “Lucid,” Raveena (or Raveena Aurora) is back with a new single. “Headaches,” is pure and comforting. Raveena’s blissful, layered vocals are gorgeously intertwined with a majestic, twinkling instrumental.
