The dreaded Monday (April 10) has once again reared its ugly head, but at least DX Digest has a stellar soundtrack to kick off the week. Sliding in the top slot is a previously unreleased track from DANGERDOOM titled “Mad Nice,” which features Black Thought and comes from the upcoming The Mask & The Mouse reissue. Wale and G-Eazy’s new video for “Fashion Week” slides in the second slot, while music from Joey Bada$$, Chief Keef, and a Blac Chyna-curated playlist for 2 Chainz round out the top five. A dope track from Da Villins featuring the late Sean Price, another single from Tech N9ne, Murs and Rittz, two recently unearthed Pete Rock projects, a chilling video from 3D Na’Tee, freestyle from CyHi The Prynce, and visual from Reason complete the list.
