Check out the best of New Music Friday below and don’t miss this week’s new albums from Juice WRLD, Kodak Black, G Herbo and more.
Snoop Dogg & Dr. Dre feat. Sting — “Another Part of Me”
Produced By: Dr. Dre & The ICU
The award for the most random collaboration this week goes to… Sampling the classic Police hit “Message in a Bottle” with a Dr. Dre twist, Snoop has never sounded more melodic and at times resembles the auto-tune crooning of Ty Dolla $ign and Wiz Khalifa. Missionary drops December 13.
Polo G — “No More Heroes”
Produced By: Baby G, Score Beats & Theevoni
Polo G is in a reflective mood on his latest single “No More Heroes” as he explores the difficulty of the holiday season when so many close friends are no longer here.
Benny The Butcher & 38 Spesh — “SS2 Freestyle”
Produced By: Credits unavailable
The Butcher and 38 Spesh are like two pieces of a perfect jigsaw. After joining forces for Stabbed & Shot 2 last month, the gully upstate New Yorkers turn their recent Sway In The Morning freestyle into a full-fledged song that you can bump on the go.
EST Gee — “The Streets”
Produced By: June the Genius
On “The Streets,” EST Gee does more of what he does best: easy flows that are juxtaposed with searing lyrics about the violence and nihilism of street life.
Redman — “Don’t Wanna C Me Rich”
Produced By: Redman & Dez the Producer
The legendary rapper has made it clear that he wants to get back in the booth with Method Man for Blackout! 3, but for now fans can settle for some solo material with the lead single from Red’s long-awaited Muddy Waters Too LP. “Don’t Wanna C Me Rich” borrows the same Billy Brooks sample as A Tribe Called Quest‘s “Luck of Lucien.”
The LOX — “Isley Money”
Produced By: Vinny Idol
Any day with new LOX music is a good day. The Yonkers trio’s first release in four years, the minimalist “Isley Money” beat allows the unique voices of Sheek Louch, Styles P and Jadakiss to shine. Look out for a new LOX EP coming soon.
4Batz — “Hood Grammy”
Produced By: ZSHAN
Tory Lanez — “Wanna Fxck”
Produced By: Tory Lanez
Russ — “SSX Tricky”
Produced By: DVNT
G-Eazy — “Nada” + “Vampires” (feat. Bahari)
Produced By: Felix Joseph, AoD, MD$, Rodaidh McDonald & Josh Parkin / Rock Mafia, Rodaidh McDonald & Tane
Casey Veggies feat. Brody — “Show Money”
Produced By: Deeham
Princess Nokia — “Apple Pie” + “Wide Brim Hat”
Produced By: owwwls / Credits unavailable
MIKE — “You’re the Only One Watching (Showbiz)”
Produced By: dj blackpower
Xzibit feat. Dem Jointz — “Everywhere I Go”
Produced By: Dem Jointz
The new Snoop n Dre single doesn’t even get it’s own stand alone article… sad how far they’ve fallen. The song sucks. The drum pattern is a mess. Auto tune sounds horrible for snoops voice. It’s unimaginative junk. Other two singles from the album are lame too. “Gorgeous” could’ve been decent but the chrous sounds misplaced and turns it from a gangster tap song to a pop song. “Outta da blue” sounds like two songs mashed together by a kid who thinks they know how to make good remixes. To say I’m disappointed is an understatement, but can’t say I expected better at this point either.
That new Snoop song is just unlistenable bs.
Loving the new X to the Z song 🔥🔥🔥
