If we’re to believe anybody in the rap game is playing “no games”, it has to be our bro Rick Ross. And while the Future feature for what is Ross’ new LP’s lead single is a bit predictable, Ross’ flow and rhyme scheme on “No Games” is not. Maybe nobody in hip hop works as hard as the MMG chief does, listen to “Hustlin” (remember this is the same dude who rhymes Atlantic w/ Atlantic) or any of the early pre-Port of Miami Ross features and compare it w/ “No Games”, the progression/the labor put in is undeniable. Mastermind is due later this year.

Chicago rapper Mick Jenkins links up w/ new Fools Gold-signee High Klassified for production on “The Water”. The lead and title track from Jenkins’ upcoming mixtape, “The Water” finds the CHI rapper easy gliding all over H.K.’s cooly-tipped after hours-styled production. A++

“Deeper” is both the newest track and the title of an upcoming EP (due 9/24) from Freddie Gibbs & Madlib. Another instant classic in the MadGibbs canon, “Deeper” again showcases the nearly perfect dynamic/symbiosis (why not?) between Madlib’s steady soul-driven production hand and Gangsta Gibbs’ A+ diction and rhyme schemes.

German producer takes JMSN and Ab-Soul really really deep like Mariana’s Trench inside a singularity deep, that and he manages to horn in that “hOoowwww” vocal sample from Cam’ron’s “What Means The World To You”. If you’re like us and that’s absolutely your lane than best to be getting familiar below. Singularity/Cam’ron.

Probably the best rapper out right now not named Kendrick or Drake (and we don’t say that lightly), Joey Bad dials up another win with latest Summer Knights single, the ragga-tinged “My Yout”.

Our bro Drake gets a remix from one of our favorite artists of the moment in really in genre, Sango. The Detroit-native selects for a very Drizzy-friendly after hours melange of 3 A.M. vibes and down keyed beats that we’re absolutely loving. Sample Sango’s mix for “The Motion” below.

Vet hip hop producer Jake One pulls quite the remix rabbit out of his hat w/ this slowed (& might as well be throwed) take on Portugal. The Man’s (!) “Evil Friends” single. That. And oh yeah, it features a cool rhyming bro that goes by the name Danny Brown too.
