New Songs of the Week:

“Ingredients” by YNW Melly (Feat. Fredo Bang)

Ingredients (feat. Fredo Bang), a song by YNW Melly, Fredo Bang on Spotify

“Ingredients” is an early standout on YNW Melly’s excellent new album We All Shine. This up-beat infectious banger is ridiculously fun and Melly’s smooth vocals are a fit so perfectly with the bouncing major piano chords in the instrumental. Three or four tracks off this project were in consideration for songs of the week but “Ingredients” edged out the win due to it’s pure hit-potential.

“Wait Up” by Thutmose

Nigerian rapper Thutmose is one of the most exciting up-coming talents in the rap game. This summer he scored big when his single “Run Wild” landed on the FIFA 18 trailer. While this was a huge break, “Wait Up” sounds like it could be the breakout song he’s been waiting for. The song is insanely catchy and his sing rap style mixed with gliding 808s is a perfect recipe for a hit. This song is super exciting to me and has me eagerly waiting Thutmose’s next release.

“Real Ties” by Lil Skies

Real Ties, a song by Lil Skies on Spotify

On his first release of 2019 Lil Skies gets back to work right where he left off with a hard hitting single with quotables galore. While the lyrics are as basic as any Lil Skies song, the back and forth ABAB rhyme scheme that he rocks for majority of both verses contrasts so well with his flow on the hook and makes the song impossible to get out of your head.

Throwback Song of the Week:

“The Glory” by Kanye West

The Glory, a song by Kanye West on Spotify

Can I talk my shit again? “The Glory” is Kanye West at his absolute best. Every piece of this song is classic Ye from the sampled beat to the braggadocios lyrics. This song feels so damn good and is defiantly a top 3 track on the hit-filled Graduation. If you don’t know this deeper cut on Ye’s third album, it’s a must listen. He did it for the glory!
