Let’s Catch Up
I can’t believe summer is over. You know what they say – every song ends but is that any reason not to enjoy the music? So much amazing music has dropped so let’s talk about it all. But first, here’s some random facts to get us started 🤝
Random rap facts that might SHOCK you 😳🔥
• Ice Spice has more Spotify monthly listeners than J. Cole
• Nicki Minaj songs have charted for more weeks on Billboard than the next 3 most popular female rappers songs have combined
• Drake song "In My Feelings" has more streams… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Recent Releases
First, do you know how much I love Jordan Ward? I’ve told you repeatedly that FORWARD is one of the best projects of the year and will not only be on mine, but a ton of other publications' year-end lists 🔥
Na this my album of the year @jordanward

But if you loved it as much as I did, you’re in luck because he just dropped three BONUS TRACKS! 💿
Next up, I truly don’t know if anyone in hip-hop has had a more exponential ascension in the past 12 months than JID. He’s truly been on a new level since The Forever Story dropped and he has no plans of slowing down. And his recent release, a small 2-pack with Lil Yachty and BabyTron is just more evidence 👀

Make sure to check out these two tracks ASAP! 💪
If there’s any duo you can count on to deliver each and every time they link up for a record, it’s Blxst and Bino Rideaux 👬

They just dropped off their third installment of their Sixtape mixtape series, and this truly has potential to be the best one yet. It’s a quick 6 song, 15 minute listen and it’s that classic west coast bounce that we’ve come to love from the two of them 🌚
Okay this next one I guarantee you’ve never heard of, but I absolutely promise you that you will be obsessed with it going forward. If you like soulful and jazzy samples combined with smooth and introspective raps, this is for you. Chicago artist D2x just dropped one of the best sounding projects of the year 👇
Iconic Beats
I’ve recently started a new series on TikTok spotlighting specific producers and three iconic beats they’ve made that you need to know as a fan of hip-hop. Check out the first two videos featuring the legendary DJ Premier and The Alchemist 🎧
