New Music Friday: New Singles From JID, Pusha T & Jadakiss, Jay Electronica & More

On Easter weekend, it’s not just Jesus who has risen but New Music Friday — and there are no shortage of hot new singles to dive in to.

JID‘s upcoming album is among the most highly anticipated releases of 2025 and the project’s lead single “WRK” is only going to get the hype train revving harder.

The Godfather of Harlem is not just giving fans a nice dose of period gangster drama, but a killer soundtrack overseen by Swizz Beatz that features contributions from the likes of Pusha T and Jadakiss and even a rare outing from Jay Electronica.

On a stacked release week, there is also new heat from the likes of Yeat, GoldLink, Tee Grizzley and Key Glock, while Statik Selektah has put together a top-tier posse cut for those that like something a little more throwback.

Check out the best of New Music Friday below.

JID — “WRK”

Produced By: Pluss & Christo

JID’s fourth album God Does Love Ugly has been long-awaited by fans and he has finally given them the first single with “WRK,” which is a typically breakneck lyrical affair.

Swizz Beatz, Pusha T & Jadakiss — “Danger Danger”

Produced By: Swizz Beatz, Beat Butcha & Avenue Beatz

For the popular crime show Godfather of Harlem, which has Swizz Beatz oversee the soundtrack, this star-studded collab is as ominous, cerebral and filled with murderous rhymes as fans of the trio would expect.

Jay Electronica — “Leaflets”

Produced By: Jay Electronica & Musicman Ty

Any day we get new music from the reclusive Jay Electronica is a good day. Also taken from Swizz’s Godfather of Harlem soundtrack, “Leaflets” is not one of the Roc Nation rhymer’s most memorable efforts, though.

Yeat — “The Bell”

Produced By: Synthetic, Caiburns & Primo

The prolific masked rapper is looking to capitalize on a widely-acclaimed Coachella set as he already goes back into album mode with “The Bell,” a bombastically hypnotic piece of harmonized anguish.

Tommy Richman feat. Sexyy Red — “Actin Up (Remix)”

Produced By: Jonah Roy, Tommy Richma, Kavian Salehi & Drew Belk

Two of contemporary Hip Hop’s most polarizing figures have hooked up for a collaboration that is unlikely to win over any of the haters, but it does have a certain undeniable earworm quality to it.

Statik Selektah feat. Joey Bada$$, Westside Gunn, Stove God Cooks & Rome Streetz — “The Louvre”

Produced By: Statik Selektah

You can always rely on Statik Selektah to recruit some of the best in the game to spit their best over a gloriously throwback beat — and the aptly-titled “The Louvre” delivers in spades.

Leon Thomas & Halle Bailey — “Rather Be Alone”

Produced By: Leon Thomas, Freaky Rob & D. Phelps

Key Glock — “Mr. Grinch”

Produced By: Oh Ross, RamyontheBeat, Broadday & Lo Beats
