<\/p>\n
October is upon us \u2014 and for lotsa people, that means the unofficial start of Spooky Season. Whether you\u2019re getting into the ghoulish swing of things or waiting until we\u2019re a little deeper into the month, one thing that\u2019s truly scary is how much dope music is dropping this week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hit-Boy and The Alchemist<\/a> drop a collab that reminds you these two guys have been running rap production over the past decade-plus. R&B is truly shining, as we get new music from Leon Thomas<\/a> and Bryson Tiller<\/a> drops his new project, Solace and The Vices. And Ledisi<\/a> comes through with a glorious tribute to the legendary Dinah Washington.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And she isn\u2019t alone\u2013believe that the ladies are putting on this week! Justine Skye<\/a> releases a dancefloor anthem for the ages; as Chloe<\/a> teams with Honey Dijon to experience the \u201cNightlife.\u201d<\/p>\n East Coast emcees are bringing the goods, as Dave East<\/a> gives fans another track to prime them for his upcoming album; while Cam\u2019ron<\/a> reminds you that nobody is as \u201cPetty\u201d on the mic.\u00a0<\/p>\n Each week, Okayplayer<\/span> will deliver a roundup of all the latest new heat from some of our favorite artists. Check out the latest offerings in our playlist below:\u00a0<\/p>\n Two of the hottest superproducers in the game teaming up is always a win. They\u2019ve got years of hits between them and both set a standard for hip-hop production. You already know the chemistry is off the charts.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cam gets back in his bag on his latest track, an off-kilter production with lyrics that live up to the title. He regularly delivers freestyles on It Is What It Is, and Cam makes sure you never forget his bonafides as an artist.\u00a0<\/p>\n This is a showcase of classic hip-hop lyricism. Ras has long been one of the West Coast\u2019s premiere emcees, and Tek and Steele never, ever disappoint when it comes to bars. The bicoast connection is something serious here.\u00a0<\/p>\n Skip announced the track with a mission statement: \u201cUnifying against all odds, against injustice, against propaganda \u2014 bringing to light how we must take a stand and do what is right: the fall of Babylon.\u201d<\/p>\n This guy was one of the most slept on of the early 2000s. But he\u2019s back with new heat. Produced By Jayson “Koko” Bridges, the latest track from the rapper out of rural Georgia is a reminder of what he can do when he\u2019s inspired.\u00a0<\/p>\n The latest single from his upcoming album, Karma 4<\/span>, wistful, melodic, and dusty new single “Bottega Trunks.” Produced by Nicholas Craven, this cut features gruff vocals and soaring proclamations\u00a0<\/p>\n The Houston legend teams up with fellow H-Town product Kyleon and Dro out of ATL for this new track, which is co-produced by Cory Mo and Organized Noize. Houston and Atlanta coming together and crossing generations? Yes, please.\u00a0<\/p>\n Everybody gets down on this one. This is straight up Detroit swagger and style, with Sean and Ray doing their thing over Murda\u2019s rich and infectious production. Sometimes you\u2019ve just gotta love it when it all works.\u00a0<\/p>\n Redd is going inward. He\u2019s prepping his new album called NDA and he sounds like an artist intent on baring his soul. The track has an intensely emotional feel, and the production leans into the moodiness.\u00a0<\/p>\n She\u2019s one of the most revered artists in the history of music and an icon of soul. Momma Mavis is set to drop her upcoming 15th solo studio album, and she\u2019s kicking things off with this timely slice of classic, rootsy R&B.\u00a0<\/p>\n The DJ teamed up with Chl\u00f6e for their first collaboration\u2013the title track of her upcoming album due out later this year. Produced by Honey Redmond, Luke Solomon, and Chris Penny, the track\u2019s music video is set to premiere on October 9.<\/p>\n She\u2019s embracing dance music wholeheartedly on this single produced by Channel Tres and Baby Tate. A smoldering house-lite track that makes you want to move. This is a ready-made anthem for dancefloors.\u00a0<\/p>\n The club feel belies some heavy lyrics. The title may seem morbid, but it seems like the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter is more interested in holding himself together than being fatalistic on the track.\u00a0<\/p>\n The man is putting in the work. On the heels of Mutt<\/span>\u2013and his well-received performance at this year\u2019s BET Awards\u2013Thomas is making the most of the moment. He\u2019s already announced his new album, PHOLKS<\/span>, is set to drop in late October.\u00a0<\/p>\n Flipping Paul Hardcastle’s “Rainforest” instrumental as only he can, Cee-Lo makes his return with this slice of ATL nostalgia. On the heels of the announced end of Goodie Mob earlier this year, it\u2019s interesting to see where Green goes next.\u00a0<\/p>\n The duo has got a good sense of each other\u2019s strengths. The latest single from their collaborative run, the track arrives with a new video\u2013and it is building momentum toward their upcoming project Raised By Wolves 2.<\/p>\n The R&B force returns with the newest single from his forthcoming FEAR EP<\/span>\u2013 it\u2019s a record that expands his range with this vulnerable, atmospheric cut released alongside a visualizer that mirrors its mood.<\/p>\n The lush ballad highlights Isaiah\u2019s signature blend of soulful intimacy and modern R&B innovation, paired with Isley\u2019s ethereal harmonies adding a timeless, dreamlike layer.<\/p>\n Halloween may be a few weeks away, but the country singer is already in a different seasonal spirit with this, the first track from her upcoming Christmas album, Feels Like Christmas.\u00a0<\/p>\n Genre-blending that never feels forced, this is a uniquely jammin\u2019 track from the Texas girl. Taping into her country roots on a track that blends hard-hitting Dallas swagger with producer Bonnie Dymond\u2019s unique acoustic-pop-folk sound.<\/p>\n California cross-collaboration is always funky. It\u2019s the Bay meets L.A. on this track, the lead single from their upcoming joint album Sad City. Produced by the Bay Area\u2019s RobLo, this is the kind of raw street authenticity fans expect.<\/p>\n She\u2019s always showcased love for classic songs and legendary singers. Now the Grammy-winner with the powerhouse vocals is celebrating the great DInah Washington with this polished and sophisticated set.\u00a0<\/p>\n He comes through and brings the goods on his new project; a testament to both craftsmanship, intention, and vibe. This is an album that celebrates life while examining the pain and struggle inherent in living; offering meaning in the contradictions we all live with.\u00a0<\/p>\n A project he says he\u2019s taking directly to the people. The multifaceted producer, engineer, artist and songwriter announced on IG \u201cI\u2019ve gained supporters from all different walks of life and I\u2019m beyond grateful for you guys. Now I want to give back to all my day ones who supported me through thick and thin.\u201d<\/p>\n Seven years since he last released a musical project, the controversial singer\/actor drops his newest, an album that melds soul, R&B, and raw storytelling. A joint release from his own Music of Sound label and Rowdy Records.<\/p>\n One of the boldest young artists in music, she always delivers soulful music with a sense of perspective and purpose. Her latest has zero filler tunes, as she soars to life\u2019s heights and plunges into the depths of the spirit.\u00a0<\/p>\n He originally conceived of the project during the claustrophobic height of the pandemic. It\u2019s the first album he\u2019s released entirely under his own name since 1996\u2019s Mistaken Identity; and the guitar hero embraces a folky mysticism and showcases his virtuosic versatility. <\/p>\n Damian Lillard continues his run as the best hooper-turned-rhymer we\u2019ve seen thus far. The title of his new project stands for \u201cYou Acquire Greatness Internally.\u201d<\/p>\n The husband and wife duo (Fatin Dantzler and Aja Graydon-Dantzler), have recently celebrated their 27th wedding anniversary, and they describe the new album speaks to their togetherness through themes of love and life.<\/p>\n He announced that this EP was \u201cborn from a five-beats-a-day challenge\u2014just me pushing myself to sharpen my skills. After the first week, my sound started to feel stagnant, so I had to break through and try something new.\u201d<\/p>\n After showcasing his knack for navigating covers, the actor\/singer is delivering original songs about heartache, love and growth. This EP is a signifier of how well he channels raw, heartfelt lyrics about relationships and all that can come with them.<\/p>\n The Vallejo, California-based rapper has found his footing as a solo act; and his artistry is starting to mature. On his latest, he stretches beyond his beginnings a bit, sounding less and less like simply a refugee from SOB x RBE.\u00a0<\/p>\n He\u2019s always stayed true to his roots. And the Brooklyn native melds styles better than he gets credit for, switching effortlessly from cocky swagger to vulnerability in his vocalizing.\u00a0<\/p>\n Ahead of his highly anticipated and high profile debut shows in the States\u2013he\u2019s slated for November bicoastal performances in New York and Los Angeles\u2013the Chinese rapper drops his followup to Above & Beyond.<\/p>\n He\u2019s always pushed Nigerian popular music into dynamic and expressive directions. On his sixth album, he channels joy and pain through a lens of his cultural heritage, for one of the best releases of his career.\u00a0<\/p>\n The bombshell out of Broward, FL is a rising rap force known for her fearless energy, raw storytelling, and undeniable star power. She follows up her recent single \u201cFUN\u201d with NBA YoungBoy, with a new EP.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.okayplayer.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" October is upon us \u2014 and for lotsa people, that means the unofficial start of Spooky Season.
