New Music Friday has delivered the goods this week. A$AP Rocky appears to return fire at Drake on his fiery J. Cole collaboration “Ruby Rosary,” which also features production from The Alchemist.
Sexyy Red will also have people talking about her once again as she drops a couple of tracks at once, while fellow female MC Megan Thee Stallion goes the more commercial route by collaborating with BTS star RM and remixing Queen’s classic hit “We Will Rock You.”
Pharrell also recruits some high-profile guests in Lil Wayne and Lil Yachty (plus Kyle Richh) for his raucous “Can’t Hold Me Down,” with Wale, Central Cee and Boldy James also delivering fresh drops.
Check out the full list of new songs below and peep this week’s best new albums here, which features LL Cool J, G Herbo, Destroy Lonely and more.
A$AP Rocky feat. J. Cole — “Ruby Rosary”

Appearing to further address the shots that Drake has thrown his way, “Ruby Rosary” continues the rollout for A$AP Rocky’s long-awaited Don’t Be Dumb. Fans will also be delighted by the fact that J. Cole sounds more energized than he has done in a while.
Sexyy Red — “U Kno What to Do (UKWTD)” + “Clouted Up”
Produced By: Macfly | Shawn Ferrari & Todd Gleeful
The controversial “SkeeYee” star is back with a double dose of new tracks to keep fans happy and her enemies talking. Unlikely to win over many new admirers, the two songs continue her party vibe with her trademark sexually explicit lyrics.
Wale — “Ghetto Speak” + “Mission Statement”
Produced By: EMIL & Tommy Black | T-Minus
Wale is also back with a two-pack, headlined by “Ghetto Speak” which was the centerpiece of his recent Nike campaign. The tracks will leave fans wanting more as they only total three minutes in length together.
Pharrell feat. Lil Wayne, Lil Yachty & Kyle Richh — “Can’t Hold Me Down”
Produced By: Pharrell
Big time synths and booming drums, Pharrell’s latest offering plays with Yeezus-era sonics and gives a platform to another standout Lil Wayne verse. The only downside is the awkward Lil Yachty hook.
Megan Thee Stallion feat. RM of BTS — “Neva Play”
Produced By: B HAM, Peter Fenn & Shae Jacobs
After a week of teasing the collaboration, the Houston Hottie continues her crossover success by teaming up with K-Pop superstar RM. “Neva Play” finds the two trading bars about their success on what is sure to be a smash hit.
Quavo & Ty Dolla Sign — “If I Fall”
Produced By: Are We Dreaming
