PLANET ASIA – \u201cCREASES REMIX\u201d<\/p>\n Produced by Furious Evans, the original was a standout track on EEE\u2019s self-titled album; and the remix is a robust cross-cultural take on survival, bolstered by a powerful guest spot from Planet Asia.<\/p>\n FLYANA BOSS – \u201cICICLE\u201d<\/p>\n An addictive banger.

YASIIN BEY AND OMAR SOULEYMAN – \u201cDAMASCUS\u201d<\/p>\n Another great collab from the virtual band.

Impressive, the emotional depth he shared through his music.<\/p>\n NIJA FEAT. BLXST – \u201cI JUST CALLED\u201d<\/p>\n The kind of smooth, late-night R&B they say nobody makes anymore. It\u2019s a captivating, slinky groove that almost makes you miss the lyrics\u2014which outline the dichotomy of complicated relationships and their irresistible pull.<\/p>\n TIARA THOMAS – \u201cNEVER BEEN TO THE PARTIES\u201d<\/p>\n Emotionally naked, and unfiltered. With ghostly production that sits somewhere between Prince and indie ambient sounds, she delivers some of her most honest, personal lyrics.<\/p>\n JAYDON, USHER & PARADISE – \u201cLULLABY\u201d (MEGA REMIX)<\/p>\n The rising R&B star delivers a stellar remix, alongside fellow talent Paradise and their superstar boss.

MARCO PLUS – \u201cCADILLAC CHROME\u201d<\/p>\n As the title suggests, this feels like something you\u2019re supposed to ride to. Soul samples are always welcome, and Brim sounds intense and floats on the track; as Marco delivers a killer of a guest verse.\u00a0<\/p>\n BONE THUGS-N-HARMONY – \u201cOVER\u201d<\/p>\n Bone Thugs have sounded reinvigorated and rejuvenated as of late, with their latest single featuring inspired performances from Layzie, Krayzie, Wish, Flesh and Bizzy.<\/p>\n POOH SHIESTY – \u201cF.D.O.

The man is focused, delivering personal street tales over evocative production. <\/p>\n RICO NASTY – \u2018LETHAL-ER\u2019<\/p>\n Though it\u2019s technically the deluxe version of her high-powered LETHAL<\/span> album from earlier in the year, she made it clear that this project of a preview of where she\u2019s going musically\u2014as opposed to a rehash of what she did on that project.\u00a0<\/p>\n FATTMACK – \u2018MCKENZIE\u2019<\/p>\n Closing out a huge breakout year for the Alabama rapper, his new project blends melodic elements and deeply personal lyrics into a sound that’s already proving to connect with his generation.

This time Bun and Statik are coming at you from Miami, with their musical chemistry still intact and paying dividends.\u00a0<\/p>\n SHY GLIZZY – \u2018I WAS ACTUALLY BEING HUMBLE<\/p>\n LIL NOONIE – \u201851 DAYS & 54 NIGHTS WALKIN\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n Ominous and infectious, this is an album that feels born of pain and paranoia, but as a rhymer and songwriter, you can hear him pushing himself. The young rapper out of Chicago is starting to put it all together.\u00a0<\/p>\n TY DOLLA $IGN & DISCO LINES – \u2018DON\u2019T KILL THE PARTY PACK\u2019 EP<\/p>\n Ty is giving you more.
