Everybody\u2019s getting out and enjoying the spring\u2013and after what felt like an endless winter, you can\u2019t fault anybody for wanting to stretch out a bit. As per usual, we\u2019ve got you covered when it comes to the soundtrack. We\u2019re closing out April with some absolute heat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Latto<\/a> and GloRilla<\/a> join forces for a fun, new single, and Kehlani<\/a> delivers her new album with a who\u2019s-who of superstar guests. Meanwhile, we get new heat from Reason<\/a>, as Fredo Bang<\/a> and BigXThaPlug<\/a> breathe new life into one of Bang\u2019s most popular singles. And be aware: Denzel Curry<\/a> has a new Red Bull freestyle with Tiacorine and Key Nyata.\u00a0<\/p>\n Please believe, the veterans are really doing it big this week, as well. West Coast mainstays Cypress Hill<\/a> reunite with an old friend for their new single, as Action Bronson<\/a> gets some bars in with a pair of Southern rap superstars for an unlikely collab. We get the fifth album from the inimitable BLU & Exile<\/a>,\u00a0as Akon<\/a> drops his first full-length project in a decade \u2013 and he sounds like he\u2019s in a spirit of gratefulness.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Each week, Okayplayer 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 The two Dirty South rap femme fatales team up on this Soulja Boy-referencing single. The pair sounds like they\u2019re having a lot of fun on this one, a track that embraces silly energy and gets stuck in your ears.\u00a0<\/p>\n The R&B standout returns with his newest single, the follow-up to his sultry track \u201cTABOO,\u201d He continues to lean into the emotional depth and sensual storytelling that have become hallmarks of his sound. <\/p>\n The British and Guinean singer-songwriter returns with her first new music since 2024. Produced by R\u00f8mme and MIDNIGHT PHUNK, it\u2019s a track that showcases her soulful vulnerability\u2013and the star power that puts her near the forefront of R&B in the U.K.\u00a0<\/p>\n These two MCs have long established themselves as purveyors of that classic boom bap and they\u2019ve done it better than most of their peers. And they’re backed by a producer steeped in that rich tradition of Pete Rock.\u00a0<\/p>\n The rapper out of Philly (by way of Brooklyn) has enjoyed a second act since his days primarily as a battle rapper. His latest single proves that his lyricism is as sharp as ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n Originally released in 2022, \u201cSay Please\u201d has seen a major resurgence and this new collaboration brings together two of the South\u2019s most distinctive voices for a moment. Melodic deliveries sit naturally over the song\u2019s soulful reimagining of The Platters.\u00a0<\/p>\n One-third of the legendary group 3rd Bass, makes his highly anticipated return. A sharp, introspective, and retrospective reintroduction \u2014 reflective, incisive, and unflinchingly honest. The new track serves as the lead single from Serch\u2019s forthcoming EP, Millions Of Zeroes<\/span>.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a thrilling new chapter in a celebrated legacy that has spanned across cultures, languages and territories. The Cali rap icons release their searing new single featuring the original member, Mellow Man Ace. Produced by the multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated DJ Flict.<\/p>\n The pair link up once again for this new track, which will appear on an upcoming solo project from Vado. And there\u2019s definitely a Vado and Dave East collab project in the works, as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n Yeah, it\u2019s an interesting mash-up of styles with these three, but it makes more sense than you might expect on paper. And Bronson is having a ball\u2013delivering the kind of lines that can only come from him.\u00a0<\/p>\n The duo calls this track \u201ca journal entry for us\u201d and it shows how much the whirlwind of their journey has inspired their art. Their latest single drops with the announcement of a new deluxe project that\u2019s coming on May 15.<\/p>\n A groove-heavy masterclass in cool, intentionally unhurried as the TX vet rides a soulful, laid-back beat. Delivering every bar with the signature precision earned from over two decades in the industry, Wall proves why his iconic delivery remains a staple in the game.\u00a0<\/p>\n The original song has been doing well online, and with Bada$$ dropping it, it gets a second life. It definitely makes you wonder how these guys would fit on a full-length project.\u00a0<\/p>\nNEW SONGS<\/h3>\n
