Songs of the week:
“BIG” by Young M.A
Brooklyn emcee Young M.A is back and as good as ever on her newest single “BIG”. On the track, M.A raps about her pimp lifestyle with her normal confident and to-the-point delivery leading us to believe that every word she raps is all fact and no fiction. Even though the talented rapper no longer receives the media attention she once did, she has a great chance to return to those heights with “BIG” which is sure to be a hit.
“Yo, I just copped a pocket rocket
For all you niggas pocket watching
Why your rollie tick-tick-tocking?
Ayy, uh, I fuck her during tax season, perfect timing”
Ballin’ by Mustard (Feat. Roddy Ricch)
If it seems like we write about Roddy Ricch every week it’s probably because we do. The Los Angeles artist has been on an absolute tear lately with every track released sounding different and fresh while still containing his totally unique flow and addicting melodies. “Ballin’” is no exception and Mustard’s relaxed instrumental is the perfect home for Roddy’s street bars allowing him enough room per line to continue to switch his flow and pack rhyme after rhyme into each stanza. Roddy Ricch is hip-hop’s next superstar and with “Ballin’” being a perfect example of the terrific music the LA emcee is capable of making.
“I see you swerve back, ‘cause I’m in the black ‘Bach
New diamonds on me, fuck a flash, this ain’t Snapchat”
restore the feeling by daniel ceasar (Feat. Sean Leon & Jacob Collier)
This week R&B all-star Daniel Ceasar released his newest album CASE STUDY 01. The album is packed with emotional slow jams essential to anyone and everyone’s library, one of which being the sixth track “RESTORE THE FEELING” which brings an energy that is unmatched on the album. While Caesar is excellent on the track laying down a poetic first verse and assisting Jacob Collier on the beautiful hook, Sean Leon steals the show with his half-sung half-rapped second verse. All-in-all the song is a relaxing cut that brings a lot of energy without raising the tempo or tone from the rest of the album.
“I’m peeling back Backwoods, I guess I’m back to work
Make a mill’ off a classic verse
Will I make a mill’ or a classic first?”
