New Songs of the Week:

“Crushed Up” by Future

Crushed Up, a song by Future on Spotify

Future has been boring lately. He got carried through a collab album with Juice WRLD and his recent features haven’t been sharp. “Crushed Up” isn’t boring, it’s actually the opposite. It is a classic Future track with a catchy, repetitive, chopped up hook and a heavy hitting beat cooked up by Atlanta producer Wheezy. “Crushed Up” gives us reason to be excited for his upcoming untitled release.

“a lot” by 21 Savage Featuring J. Cole

a lot, a song by 21 Savage on Spotify

On “a lot” 21 and J. Cole craft the perfect intro for Savage’s new album i am > i was. DJ Dahi tossed these two MCs a softball with this instrumental. It’s simple, groovy, and 21 always sounds great on sampled beats. J. Cole hops in on the third verse for potentially his best feature of the year where he calls out rappers for faking their streams and than shouts out Markelle Fultz.

“The Navy” by Yung Pinch

The Navy, a song by Yung Pinch on Spotify

It’s the beach boy! Yung Pinch’s newest mixtape 4EVERFRIDAY SZN TWO may have come out over 2 weeks ago but a number of these songs are still hot including “The Navy” produced by Zaytoven. This track is exactly what you expect when these two meet up- a bumping, trap, beach-bop that feels great.

Throwback Song of the Week:

“Location” by Playboi Carti

Location, a song by Playboi Carti on Spotify

The intro off Playboi Carti’s self-titled debut album was mind-blowing and awe-inspiring when it first graced our ears in early 2017 and absolutely nothing has changed. The beautiful synths that pulse between chords throughout the duration of this song truly create a memorizing vibe and make the song all that it is. If I ever go to space this will be the song I listen to as we takeoff.
