10. Meek Mill – “Gettin’ Money”
Producer: N/A
The cut above was one of four by Meek to release earlier this week. It’s also the best of the batch.
9. Raekwon – “Close To You”
Producer: N/A
For a 12th week in a row, The Chef kicked a potent verse over an old school classic. Let’s see where he takes it next.
8. Audio Push ft. Rockie Fresh – “No Secret”
Producer: N/A
HS87 continue to put numbers on the boards. Now, it’s just a matter of when the game will make an earnest effort to listen.
7. Your Old Droog ft. Prodigy – “Hoodie Season”
Producer: Marco Polo
The term “Hoodie Season” sounds like it comes accompanied by a proper jux, and so does the cut above.
6. Ricky Dubs ft. Kami De Chukwu – “I Say”
Producer: Ricky Dubs
The Chicago producer’s 8-track project, The Señor Dubs EP, literally caught my ear as I compiled this list. After one listen, the cut above resonated most.
5. Chase N. Cashe – Araab Crazy
Producer: araabMUZIK
The New Orleans rapper-producer spits that cash money talk on his newest release. No pun intended.
4. Wara From The NBHD – “Case Closed”
Producer: 8-Track
The tale Wara depicted on his Kidnapped project is fictional, but rooted in reality. The one heard above comes from a personal place.
3. Jeezy ft. Kendrick Lamar – “Holy Ghost (Remix)”
Producer: Don Cannon, Lyle LeDuff, Frank Dukes
The Snowman called on TDE Compton rep to injected more life into his Seen It All track. Mission accomplished.
2. Octave Minds ft. Chance The Rapper & The Social Experiment – “Tap Dance”
Producer: Octave Minds
Chance is broadening his horizons sonically and inviting rap fans into a world where lush, live instrumentation lives in the process. We’re excited to hear what the Chicago’s next full-length project sounds like.
1. Flying Lotus ft. Kendrick Lamar – “Never Catch Me”
Producer: Flying Lotus
From Lotus’ upcoming album, You’re Dead!, the West Coast producer unveiled a cut featuring K. Dot. This collab sounds just as good as it looks on paper.
