10. Chance The Rapper & The Social Experiment – “Wonderful Day”

Producer: The Social Experiment

Chance flexes his crooning abilities on this cover of the Arthur theme song. Hear who assisted with guest vocals above.

9. Fredo Santana ft. Childish Gambino – “Riot”

Producer: Young Chop

Yes, this is as an unlikely duo as they come, but this record strangely works.

8. Metro Boomin ft. Future & Young Thug – “Chanel Vintage”

Producer: Metro Boomin

If nothing else, Rap fans have to admire the Atlanta’s us against the world mentality. More than most other cities, their rappers willingly collab and often end up with dope results because of it.

7. Big K.R.I.T. ft. Rico Love – “Pay Attention”

Producer: Jim Jonson

The first single from Krizzle’s upcoming Cadillactica LP is a step in right direction for anyone who described his past tunes as monotonous.

6. Cormega ft. Craig G, Masta Ace & Kool G. Rap – “Industry (Juice Crew Remix)”

Producer: Large Professor

It’s a Queens thing on Mega’s “Industry (Juice Crew Remix).” Here, the legends school the up and comers.

5. Magazeen ft. Wale – “My Town”

Producer: N/A

The MMG artists have found a great collaborative energy. Here’s to hoping that the two have more to come.

4. Two-9 – “Money Counter”

Producer: Mike WiLL Made It

Promising Atlanta rap outfit Two-9 celebrated signing with Mike WiLL’s EarDruma Records/Interscope Records by delivering this cut. Yes, it’s undeniably a trunk rattler.

3. Ab-Soul – “To The Max”

Producer: Statik Selektah

Soulo delivered an ode of sorts to Max B on this These Days… leftover track.

2. Your Old Droog ft. Rast RFC – “No Message”

Producer: P Brothers

Bar-wise, Droog is so spot-on that it makes listeners disregard the fact that his identity is still mystery. Hear proof above.

1. Wara From The NBHD ft. GrandeMarshall – “Raw”

Producer: N/A

Wara From The NBHD’s upcoming Kidnapped project is shaping up to be a solid body of work. August 12 can’t fast enough.
