Our man Colin Monroe provides a smooth croon on the hook for “Enemy of the Great”, a new Christian Rich-produced track from VA rapper The Fieldz. The Virginia newcomer has a mixtape project Soar Loser in the works. If “Enemy of the Great” is any indication, SL is a tape we’ll definitely need some ears on.

When it comes to summer jams “So Good” hits that sweet spot. The new track from E-TRAIN is his first release since WRATH OF ROXANE+. The song is previewed here for the first time from an upcoming untitled project expected September 5th and it features LA-based Molly K on the sugary hook. Good luck not singing along to this one.
E-TRAIN performs this Saturday in West Los Angeles @ Touch Vinyl with SoundFanua and A Sol Mechanic (INFO) NO COVER 8pm door.

Alicia Keys’ latest (complete with those “oh oh oh ohs” that she’s so adept at) becomes the bed for a new 50/Dr. Dre track that is actually knockin’ pretty hard. Can this be Curtis’ comeback single? Our homeboy had a chart hit with that “Down on Me” track w/ Jeremih last summer, so dude is still in the conversation. Is “New Day” enough to get him back to relevance?

We’ve been steady bouncing to this new jam by Bay Area rapper Antwon all weekend. On the track, producer Pictureplane cooks up a sharp 90’s-styled “Tom’s Diner”-sampling heater for Antwon to rock to. Definite summertime jam status. Look out for Antwon’s End of Earth LP due soon.

This is what a champagne shower sounds like. The Boss grabs frequent collaborator Ne-Yo (“Super High”, “Think Like a Man” for some seriously expensive sounding shit on “Maybach Music IV”. Ross is, if anything, “going for it” on what we’ve heard thusfar off of GFID. Lengthy uniquely structured and arranged tracks, the cinematic quality that made Teflon Don so good has been pushed into an entirely new sphere on GFID. Tracks like “MMIV” and “Sixteen” are maybe a bit less focused than their TD counterparts but they’re bigger, elastic enough in a way, to shoulder the Atlasian labor to bear the weight of Rozay’s exponentially expanding larger than life persona.

Yep, you’re gonna like this. Adult Swim delivers again with the latest in its Singles Program connecting Flying Lotus with Sweatshirt guy and Charlie Murphy (probably Tyler the Creator). The neatly tipped jazz ‘n’ vibes are on full offer here as the featured MCs skate on top FlyLo’s superior tones.

Rozay couldn’t afford another brick. Fucking finally. Rawse should be counting his lucky Maybach stars this track, as has been the case with much of what’s been released of God Forgives, I Don’t, isn’t trash (“Hold Me Back” anyone?). Jake One’s production is the star here, Dre sounds solid, Hov sounds tired, and Ross sounds meh, but the production, yessssss! God forgives, b3sci don’t
