Producer/Guitarist for Misun Nacey rings up a strong single with the Angel Haze-featuring “I Own It”. A sharp mix of Mad Decent-styled bounce and pop radio-relevant hooks, the way fun “I Own It” is simply excellent. Look for “I Own It” out now on Casablanca Records.

The Toronto instrumental hip hop powerhouse BADBADNOTGOOD fashion a pinpoint perfect track for the disparate styles of both the hulking Tony Starks and the multi-gear oddball flows of Detroit Danny Brown. “Six Degrees” is rap at its highest level.

TDE principal Ab-Soul grabs Action Bronson and Asaad for the chakra rap of “Stigmata”. Interpolating Nas on the hook “I carry the cross…”, the trio of in form emcees trade styles and pace (Ab’s pointed, Bronson’s beefin, and Asaad is easy) to create an excellent dynamic track.

Chicago emcee Saba who featured on Chance the Rapper’s blogger rap fave Acid Rap debuts the R&B-laced “Burnout”. Buoyed by a strong vocal from Detroit singer Eryn Allen Kane that would not be out of place on ’97 Total record, “Burnout’s” roughly 3:30 glide by excellently with Saba’s multi-gear flow neatly complemented by the track’s densely-layered piano-driven instrumental. Saba’s COMFORTzone is out July 15.

Jazmine Sullivan, who’s biggest entry in the urban charts is probably that Missy-assisted reggae-tinged “Need You Bad” track from a few years ago, makes an emphatic return with the Meek Mill featuring R&B sortee “Dumb”. The minimalist kick drum/vocal sample-driven track is big on energy and charisma while working stylistically in a different/refresing/no Ty Dolla Sign palette of sounds. Give “Dumb” your attention below
