David Banner f. Black thought – “Who want it”
The Roots’ Black Thought and Watch The Duck have jumped on David Banner’s new track, “Who Want It,” which most likely comes from his forthcoming seventh studio album, The God Box. The project will mark Banner’s first album since 2010’s Death of a Pop Star with producer 9th Wonder. Listen to the track above.
Gucci mane – “coachella”
Although Gucci Mane is currently on The Trap God Tour, he carved out some time to perform at his first Coachella last weekend. Apparently inspired by the experience, the non-stop workhorse has dropped a new single, the aptly titled “Coachella,” which finds production from Murda Beatz, TM88 and !llmind.

YOung dolph – “100 shots'”
Seemingly undeterred by the recent Charlotte, North Carolina shooting he was somehow linked to, Young Dolph continues to pull tracks from his Bulletproof project and has released a video for “100 Shots.” Directed by Iconik, the video finds him posted up on a yellow Ferrari, spitting lines like, “I got a sweet tooth, but I stay away from suckers.”
Riff Raff – “jodyhighroller.com”
RiFF RAFF is back at it with DJ Paul in the new video for “JODYHiGHROLLER.COM.” Par for the course, the eccentric rapper is dressed head to toe in jewelry while rocking a red fur-laced coat with paw prints all over it. The song clocks in at less than two minutes and keeps up his busy 2017.

Gorillaz – “2d & Murdoc Interview”
As the release of Gorillaz’s upcoming album,Humanz, inches closer to its release date, the team is clearly in heavy promo mode and has arranged an “interview” with two of the Gorillaz’s animated characters, 2D and Murdoc.
