Now that most of us have finally waded through Drake’s massive 100GB content dump, here’s almost 100 minutes of new music for your headtop.
This week’s New Music Friday feaures a few other blog era favorites, with Big Sean striking up a potent new partnership with The Alchemist, Chance The Rapper reuniting with an old friend and Lupe Fiasco dusting off his near-mythical Child Rebel Soldier supergroup.
Hip Hop’s new generation are also very much in the mix, with fresh offerings from the likes of Cash Cobain, Coi Leray and Doechii, while Mary J. Blige and Fabolous put on for the older crowd.
Check out the full list of new songs below and peep this week’s best new albums here.
Big Sean & The Alchemist — “Together Forever”
Produced By: The Alchemist & DJ Khalil
After linking up for the first time on Larry June‘s “Palisades, CA” last year, Big Sean and The Alchemist continue to showcase their chemistry on this smooth new single from the Detroit rapper’s upcoming album Better Me Than You. Keep watching to the end for a hidden surprise.
Chance The Rapper feat. Joey Purp — “Bad Boys 2”
Produced By: DEX LVL & That Boy Franco
Chance The Rapper and fellow Save Money alumnus Joey Purp cook up a buddy-cop banger as they channel Will Smith and Martin Lawrence on this triumphant new track from Chano’s long-awaited Star Line. Just don’t call it “the album.”
Cash Cobain & Laila! feat. Big Sean, Fabolous, Luh Tyler, Rob49, Flo Milli, 6LACK, Kaliii, Anycia, Don Q, YN Jay, Lay Bankz, Kenzo B, Chow Lee & Flee — “Problem”
Produced By: Cash Cobain
Taking it back to the days of when songs like The Game‘s “One Blood” would feature a million MCs on the remix, New York’s hottest new star assembles an Avengers-level cast for this heavily-teased (and heavily-stacked) posse cut. If only this had dropped at the start of the summer.
Lupe Fiasco (Child Rebel Soldier) — “Shrink”
Produced By: Radiohead
Lupe Fiasco has kept his promise to “reboot” his Child Rebel Soldier supergroup with Kanye West and Pharrell, albeit with a major twist. The bad news: there’s no Ye or P. The good news: Lupe can still rock a Radiohead beat. (“Shrink” samples the band’s Kid A classic “Optimistic.”)
Coi Leray — “Not in the Store”
Produced By: Pharrell
Coi Leray takes a page out of 50 Cent‘s “Window Shopper” playbook and flexes both her wardrobe and wallet over a Jersey Club-inspired beat from Pharrell. “Not in the Store” comes courtesy of Skateboard P’s partnership with art and entertainment company Doodles which will produce an NFT animated film called Dullsville and The Doodleverse (which Coi lends her voice to alongside Lil Wayne).
Tory Lanez — “Featherweight” + “F&V”
Produced By: Dose Beats. Majestic Bxndz, Play Picasso, Svdominik & Von Lindex | Absi, ArmoTunez, MIKEWAVVS & Play Picasso
The currently incarcerated Canadian continues his Prison Tapes series for a fourth consecutive week with another double offering that showcases his versatility as both a rapper and a singer. When Tory isn’t recording new music from behind bars, the recent high school graduate is busy working towards earning a college degree.
Mary J. Blige feat. Fabolous — “Breathing”
Produced By: Shaun “S. Dot” Thomas
Two of New York’s finest reunite over a lush, R&B-flavored update of the Biggie classic “Kick In the Door.”
Doechii feat. Fana Hues — “SUNDAY’S BEST”
Produced By: Remdolla
TDE’s leading lady finds self-love in spirituality on this stunning new offering from her upcoming project Alligator Bites Never Heal (out August 30).
Fivio Foreign feat. Kodak Black & Donald Trump — “ONBOA47RD”
Produced By: Credits unavailable
It was no secret that Kodak Black is a die-hard Trump fan, but now Fivio Foreign has come out as the latest MAGA rapper. “When Trump called me I was on tour / That was my win and it’s your loss,” he raps. The song even opens with audio from the former president’s 2017 inauguration. Politics aside, this beat goes hard.
Rylo Rodriguez — “85 Cutlass”
Produced By: Juko, Eighty8, Saucii & Lil Baby
4PF’s other star cruises over soulful yet trunk-rattling production as he navigates the highs and lows of the rap star lifestyle. For some reason, the accompanying video features a Lamborghini Urus but not an actual ’85 Cutlass.
Joy Orbison feat. Future, Playboi Carti & Lil Yachty — “flex fm (freddit)”
Produced By: Joy Orbison
London meets Atlanta on this new bugged-out banger from the British house/dubstep producer. “flex fm (freddit)” is more MDMA-fueled rave than Magic City, though.
Blu & Exile feat. Aloe Blacc — “Love Is Blue”
Produced By: Exile
The duo behind Below the Heavens are set to release their fourth collaborative album Love (the) Ominous World on September 20, and call on old friend Aloe Blacc to help them kickstart the rollout in powerful fashion.
