March 2021 is proving to be overflowing with musical releases — which has resulted in two-parts to HipHopDX’s edition of New Music Friday singles coverage.
To start, Griselda MC Benny The Butcher delivers the inaugural single from his forthcoming collaboration with Harry Fraud. Rockie Fresh and Vic Mensa illuminate the Chicago skyline with their latest joint-effort and YBN Nahmir holds his own on a stifling new solo release.
Check out the complete list of New Music Friday singles coverage for the week ending Friday (March 12), below.

Benny The Butcher & Harry Fraud — “Thanksgiving”
The Griselda MC and Brooklyn-bred producer are certainly in different arenas currently than they were when the first The Plugs I Met dropped back 2019. Nevertheless, their connection remains the same and the pair figuratively deliver the first bump of pure audio dope from their upcoming reprise album The Plugs I Met 2.

In a move mirroring HipHopDX 2021 Rising Star DDG, YouTuber-turned-rapper KSI delivered his debut album Dissimulation last May and has remained steadfast in his artistic approach ever since. And with Polo G assisting on his latest genre crossover “Patience” collaboration with English singer YUNGBLUD, it would appear KSI has plans to reach new musical heights this year.
