My Favorite Hip Hop Releases This Week

This New Music Friday has some of the best releases all year with some of my favourites being;

Hold That Heat by Southside, Travis Scott and Gunna

Travis Scott and Future brought the heat on the new joint by hiphop producer Southside.

Travis and Future prove to be dynamic duo delivering an earworming trap banger.
This marks Travis return to music since the “Mafia” and “Escape Plan,” double release that preceded the tragic Astroworld Festival in November.

Travis confirmed to Billlboard he is gearing up to release his long-awaited album Utopia.

In one week, Future is set to drop his new album, which will include collaborations with Kanye West, FKA twigs, and Babyface Ray.

Pop Out by Erica Banks


Banks makes her official return with the new single “Pop Out,” a Sgt. J-produced offering that sees her delivering her hardest bars to date.

The track also sees a matching visual that is filled with shots of Banks and her bevy of baddies rocking pink outfits and catching vibes to the music in different locations.

“Lights off” by Tay Keith ft Gunna and Lil Durk

Memphis superproducer Tay Keith released “Lights Off,” featuring Lil Durk and Gunna.

The new single is packed with melodic flows, effortless cool, and an evolved version of Keith’s signature sound. “Lights Off” is the lead of a new era for the Drumatized (DOA) label.

Its Almost Dry Album by Pusha T


Four years after the critically-acclaimed Daytona, Pusha T returns with his fourth studio album, It’s Almost Dry, which might be the Rap Album of the Year.

Pusha T brings intimate thoughts and feelings in a way that you can feel clearly and simply, however complex these emotions are, the production brings a perfect experience for what the album proposes, leaving the listener interested and excited about the songs, by far one of the best projects of the year, if not the best

Kanye West and Pharrell both leave the listeners in a trance with their elevated production in which Pusha T’s delivery, diction and bars evince his longetivity and status as a legend in Hip Hop.

Before you Go by Blxst


After breaking to the Hip Hop and R&B’s mainstream in 2020, with tracks such as “Chosen” with Ty Dolla $ign and “Be Alone,” Blxst released his second project titled Before You Go which is a follow up to 2020’s No Love Lost.

Featuring appearances from Arin Ray (“Fake Love in LA”), Grandmaster Vic (“Pick Your Poison”), Zacari (“Sometimes”), and Rick Ross (“Couldn’t Wait for It”), Before You Go is some of Blxst’s strongest material to date with its cloudy production and genre-hopping tendencies

Throughout the project, he does a good job of tackling the topics of love, faithfulness, loyalty, and growth in ways that are relatable and organic.

Like, while listening to the album, you will truly feel like you know who he is as a man and companion. I’m not sure I’ve heard an R&B artist this year come across as relatable as he did here.
