New Songs of the Week:
“Bad Guyz” by Foreign Jay
Foreign Jay ended 2018 with some serious momentum and if “Bad Guyz” is an accurate representation of how he’s coming in 2019, expect a big year out of the Ohio MC. “Bad Guyz” is groovy, catchy, and sure to be an underground hit. This infectious cut beat out all commercial releases as the best song released this week.
“Silent Ride” by Boogie
The lead single off the Shady Records signee’s debut album is a slow, almost hypnotizing bop. Boogie has received some very notable co-signs from Kendrick Lamar to Eminem. On “Silent Ride” it’s easy to see where they are coming from as the Compton MC seamlessly spits bars that are clever, relatable, and extremely authentic.
“Something I Did” by KetchyTheGreat (Feat. 03 Greedo)
KetchyTheGreat, member of Drakeo The Ruler’s Stinc Team, dropped a new mixtape last Monday titled Free Sauce. On the projects best song, 03 Greedo steals the spotlight early with an excellent hook and first verse. On the second verse Ketchy grabs it right back with out front delivery that compliments 03 voice better than I had ever noticed.
Throwback Song of the Week:
“Sunday” by Earl Sweatshirt (Feat. Frank Ocean)
“Sunday,” the 4th track off Earl Sweatshirt’s 2013 debut Dorris, is a masterpiece that has steadily been in my rotation since its release. On this track we listen as two young and talented artists rap and sing from their perspective after a crazy Saturday of partying and drugs. The moment when Frank comes in is an easy highlight of an excellent album and the instrumental is interesting enough to be its own song.
