Everybody is going to be showing love to Mom this weekend, and while there may not be a lot of Mommy-specific music dropping, there\u2019s certainly enough hot, new ish for you to put together a nice little playlist for the mothers in your life. Per usual, we\u2019ve got a little bit of everything for you to choose from.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The big one this week is the return of Chris Brown<\/a>, who drops his new album. But he\u2019s far from the only R&B artist with new heat this week: we get a scorching single from Anderson. Paak<\/a>; as well as Khalid<\/a>\u2019s latest. And the multitalented Teyana Taylor<\/a> gets seductive with Wale<\/a> on her new single.\u00a0<\/p>\n Don\u2019t fret, though, rap fans; if you need your weekly fix of beats and rhymes; T.I.<\/a> has you covered with a new banger; and Cash Cobain<\/a> also drops off some fire. Iconic producers in DJ Premier<\/a> and The Alchemist<\/a> team up on their latest; and the Bay Area legend Too $hort<\/a> collabs with Tyga<\/a> and the Vallejo king himself E-40<\/a> for a little West Coast flavor. U.K. vet Little Simz<\/a> comes with her latest, and we get the third installment of his acclaimed Doe Or Die<\/span> series from none other than AZ<\/a>.<\/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 The pair reunite on this infectious new single. Their chemistry is still intact after more than a decade. The single comes ahead of his upcoming album, inspired by his family comedy feature film K-POPS!<\/span><\/p>\n The Atlanta rap icon and Pharrell clearly make beautiful music together. This is the second track released ahead of his upcoming final album. He\u2019s also announced an accompanying tour alongside his sons Domani and King Harris.\u00a0<\/p>\n On the track, the two artists blend their styles effortlessly. It presents 6LACK in a new light: vulnerable and speaking about love in a different way \u2013 as both men look inward. It\u2019s touching sisetupngle, and it\u2019s a perfect set up for his new album out May 22.<\/p>\n The purveyor of sexy drill has been working on his upcoming album, and in the meantime, this piano-driven track serves as a preview. His sound continues to evolve.\u00a0<\/p>\n The singer-songwriter announced that his new album is an ambitious double project that is one half gospel and one half R&B, so his new single is a clear indicator of what the project is going to feel like.\u00a0<\/p>\n The final pre-album single before the collective drops the final entry in their \u201cBalloons\u201d series, it features Shaw and Brown teaming with the band for a gloriously delicious track.\u00a0<\/p>\n After a relatively quiet period, Spesh returns with street-certified storytelling and razor-sharp lyricism, trading calculated bars with the Wu legend. The single is the opening salvo for his upcoming album, an anticipated project from one of hip-hop\u2019s most under-appreciated multi-hyphenates.\u00a0<\/p>\n Jointly produced by Lil Jon and his late son Slade, the track serves as the inaugural single from the Bay Area legend\u2019s upcoming album. And it brings together West Coast heavyweights that deliver powerful verses over their signature flows. <\/p>\n He\u2019s a Grammy-winning producer and the sonic architect behind some of the most defining records of the last decade, including \u201cMoney Trees\u201d by Kendrick + more from Childish Gambino, Travis Scott, Drake, Madonna, etc. Now he makes the big leap forward as an artist.\u00a0<\/p>\n Leeds electronic duo Prospa drop their newest, first teased during Prospa’s Miami Music Week B2B set with Josh Baker, and again during another B2B set with Kettama and Josh Baker during Coachella. It marks Murda Beatz’s first house offering.<\/p>\n Arriving amid the momentum of his current Blame The Chat Tour<\/span>, his new record has already been generating strong anticipation and extends his run of high-impact releases. All the while, he further expands his presence across music, streaming and culture.\u00a0<\/p>\n The collective has built a cult following through standout visuals, festival performances, and a creative world that continues to push beyond the boundaries, with more music and visuals on the way. They continue their genre-blurring approach to hip-hop.\u00a0<\/p>\n Harris reintroduces himself on this heartwarming R&B ballad and contemporary take on SWV\u2019s classic. It\u2019s a single that showcases the singer\u2019s vocal range and modern approach to the timeless sound of 1990s R&B.\u00a0<\/p>\n The East Oakland-bred songwriter, lyricist, and producer is a product of the Bay Area\u2019s eclectic artistry, and he is reshaping the region\u2019s niche rap sound with an ethereal, laid-back approach.\u00a0<\/p>\n Recorded fully analog, the track channels the warmth and musicality of legends while still sounding entirely his own. Deeply personal at its core, the track is a tribute to the unconditional love his mother and auntie have shown him throughout his life. Perfect for Mother\u2019s Day.\u00a0<\/p>\n Following their well-received He\u2019s The Preemo, I\u2019m The Chemist<\/span>\u00a0European Tour, these Hip-hop legends have reunited for their heavy-hitting new single, produced by The Alchemist.<\/p>\n Serving as the lead for his upcoming project arriving May 27th, this is a lush, trap-soul exhibition built on ’90s harmonic precision and moody acoustic origins. The track masterfully bridges the gap between intimate, late-night R&B rotations and the high-energy grit of modern drill production.<\/p>\n A haunting, cinematic track exploring the human cost of conflict and the emptiness of modern clout culture. Cutting through internet posturing, the song tackles the real-world impact of violence and social decay.\u00a0<\/p>\n One of the most iconic voices of all time, the Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer makes her return with this infectious slice of dance pop. Co-written with SZA, the former frontwoman of Rufus seems like she\u2019s having a ball\u2013both on the track and in the video.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Canadian singer-songwriter Reyez is clearly looking to heat up the charts this summer\u2013and she\u2019s teamed with the right one to do it\u2013the Grammy winner Long. It comes about a year after Reyez\u2019s third album dropped.\u00a0<\/p>\n A new track that manages to be just the right kind of chill. The combination of Khalid\u2019s smooth vocals and Lauv\u2019s laid-back production makes for a track that is just *chef\u2019s kiss.*<\/p>\n The legendary Beastie Boy returns with his strong single. It marks the first major music by a Beastie Boys member since 2011\u2019s Hot Sauce Committee Part 2<\/span>. Welcome back, Michael Diamond.\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s a bold track that features expert lyricism while also benefiting from the artist\u2019s strong voice. She is definitely forging her own voice and making her own space, on a track that really presents her well \u2013 as both an artist and as an ambitious mom doing her thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n The R&B veteran and After 7 frontman delivers this slice of contemporary R&B. The track marks a welcome return for the beloved tenor, long regarded as one of the genre\u2019s most revered vocalists. A solid track for fans of both Edmonds and his famous group.\u00a0<\/p>\n She\u2019s been cooking, folks. The R&B singer has announced that she is prepping her third album, which is set for release on July 10. Her new single blends gnarly guitars with dance beats, for an irresistible combination.\u00a0<\/p>\n There are very few performers who can convey sensuality and vulnerability simultaneously like Taylor can, and she and Wale have always worked very well together. The D.C. rapper brings the emotional tension on this single, which they debuted at the Billboard<\/span> Women In Music event.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a brilliant take on a great track and it\u2019s a perfect antidote to the season we\u2019re in. Mann, the gospel icon herself, explained it thusly: \u201cA new day. A new feeling. A new conversation with Heaven. I\u2019m so excited for you to experience \u2018Hello God.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n A standout collaboration. Benny is one of hip-hop\u2019s most revered for a reason, and this collab is a win for anyone who appreciates and loves lyrical precision and street bars.\u00a0<\/p>\n The rapper out of Pasadena comes through with this synth-driven banger. It\u2019s the kind of quiet menace that screams West Coast, and Walker has one of his most subdued performances over the pulsing beat.\u00a0<\/p>\n It\u2019s so vintage, you may get lost in the vibe. The two artists deliver a seductive, soulful groove that evokes both the ’90s and the ’70s at the same damn time. A stellar single.\u00a0<\/p>\n Bellinger with an ode to the woman who\u2019s been there from the beginning. It\u2019s an anthem for Mother\u2019s Day, a lilting, melodic ballad dedicated to the role his mother played in his life.\u00a0<\/p>\n This is just a fun party record. It has the kind of 808-driven bounce that wouldn\u2019t sound out of place on a City Girls track\u2013while also hearkening back to the playful party anthems of Salt-N-Pepa.\u00a0<\/p>\n Things get somber and introspective on this standout collaboration. The mournful piano accompaniment never gets too fussy, as the bars focus on betrayal and pain, attempting to find some sense of self in grinding for success.\u00a0<\/p>\n You have to appreciate an artist who does what they do without needing a lot of bells and whistles. Keeping things simple and catchy, Glock drops this bass-heavy single that offers no frills and no nonsense. All killer, no filler.\u00a0<\/p>\n It has the feel of a classic late 1990s East Coast banger. Beyond any sense of nostalgia, this is just a great track that should remind everybody that Bleek has always been nice \u2013 when paired with the right production, you don\u2019t have to strain to see it.\u00a0<\/p>\n The duo out of Los Angeles returns with this spunky and kinetic single. It\u2019s a synth-heavy trunk-rattler, built for clubs and the ladies get off some swaggy, braggadocious verses while keeping things fun and sexy.\u00a0<\/p>\n The veteran crew out of Kentucky returns with this acoustic-driven look at their humble beginnings and the journey they went on as chart-topping rappers. It\u2019s a warm slice of country rap that could only come from NR.\u00a0<\/p>\n Their famous lineage makes them R&B royalty, and the sisters have already announced their forthcoming album on Daptone Records. And the sisters have also announced they\u2019re joining Thee Sacred Souls and LA LOM for their ambitious summer amphitheater run.\u00a0<\/p>\n The singer-songwriter will have you reaching for platform shoes and a glittery coat. He perfectly channels the feel and vibe of late 1970s disco, sounding like this is a lost track from a wild night at Studio 54.\u00a0<\/p>\n Both emcees bring it on this simple bit of catchy songwriting. Sometimes you don\u2019t need a lot. From that gooey wah-wah guitar and those percolating hi-hats, you can jump right into the soulfulness of this laid-back groover.\u00a0<\/p>\n Debuted during their Verzuz face-off on May 7, it\u2019s the kind of track that brings out the best in all involved. An anthem that could only come from Montana and Max.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Zimbabwe-born, Australian pop\/ R&B star delivers a hypnotic, Afrobeat groove courtesy of Maths Time Joy. This is a track that brings an instant mood change, featuring Tkay flexing her authority in relationships, business and fashion.\u00a0<\/p>\n The singer-songwriter explained that the song came \u201cfrom feeling stuck in my own thoughts and not knowing how to get out of it. Strangely, it takes me back to my first pair of headphones as a kid. I used to put them on to block out the shouting and the chaos at home, and in a weird way, they became a kind of escape for me. \u201c<\/p>\n He keeps it classic on his new track. The classic reggae feel is a perfect springtime groove, and the lyrical references to iconic lines from Bob Marley is a musical cherry on top of this excellent single.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Two-time Grammy Award winner drops his 12th solo studio album, with features from Bryson Tiller, Leon Thomas and more. The title, which clearly refers to the singer\u2019s surname, also serves as an acronym: \u201cbreak rules only when necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n The long-awaited third installment of the veteran rhymer’s critically-acclaimed series finally arrives. While the first entry announced the emcee, and the second clearly stamped his return as an elder statesman, his new album feels like a craftsman, perfecting what he\u2019s done and getting it down to a science.\u00a0<\/p>\n The rapper out of Queens pulls the listener to his unique headspace and invites the listener to check things out from his distinct worldview. The album includes appearances from Lil Yachty, Roc Marciano, Paul Wall, Meyhem Lauren and more.<\/p>\n She\u2019s always been an artist who keeps it moving; never settling into what she did on her last release or repeating a formula that worked on a single. On her new EP, she\u2019s refashioning club sounds, and the result is full of energy, imagination and experimentation.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Detroit-based producer, MC and songwriter follows up Everybody Good with his latest; he hops on the microphone for the first time in a minute, and he\u2019s going inward this time around. His production is at an absolute peak.\u00a0<\/p>\n He\u2019s built a career on that balance of technical precision and emotional honesty and you can tell he\u2019s studied icons like OutKast and Young Thug, and his new project features collaborations with 6lack, Samara Cyn, Childish Major and Anna Field.<\/p>\n Over the past few years, he has been grinding nonstop and evolving entirely on his own terms. With 15 tracks, his new mixtape stands as his most cohesive and fully realized project to date. Balancing raw emotion with confidence, he moves between introspection and charisma with precision, capturing tension, hunger, and self assurance throughout.\u00a0<\/p>\n This highly anticipated follow-up to her debut EP, 4 Da Ho\u2019s follows the success of her latest single, \u201cTASTE.\u201d She also stormed stages on an extensive global tour that spanned the United States, United Kingdom, and Europe.<\/p>\n This is a lively, soul stirring release from a refreshing voice that successfully captured the spiritual, infectious energy of his church upbringing. There\u2019s an earthy, soulful authenticity present in all thirteen tracks.\u00a0<\/p>\n The veteran singer-songwriter shines on her sixth album. For the better part of 25 years, she\u2019s delivered the kind of indie soul that legends are made of; and her new album is both a continuation and an expansion of the sound she\u2019s cultivated over her stellar career.\u00a0<\/p>\n The Houston rap legend teams up with fellow Texas products for a Longhorn State longplayer that sounds perfect on a slow Saturday, sippin\u2019 something syrupy.\u00a0<\/p>\n His project was a well-received return-to-form, and now the famed rapper\/producer out of Mississippi offers fans a deluxe, expanded edition. Gotta love the generosity.\u00a0<\/p>\n He\u2019s clearly creating at a high level, and he\u2019s making his presence felt across the board, but the Philly native really sets the table on his new project. The work he\u2019s put in over years of a career, the way he\u2019s sharpened skills with every guest spot, how he\u2019s carefully chosen collaborators\u2013it all pays off here.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/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":" Everybody is going to be showing love to Mom this weekend, and while there may not be a lot of Mommy-specific music dropping, there\u2019s certainly enough hot, new ish for you to put together a nice little playlist for the mothers in your life.
