]]> April is finally upon us, and it’s bringing many amazing albums our way—and some of them hit the shelves this Friday. J. Cole and Vampire Weekend made it to our list of the best songs of the week after dropping new albums, but Charli XCX, Kehlani, and Khalid also made the cut.

Most of the songs on our list hail from the exciting new albums that hit the shelves on April 5. J. Cole took his fans off guard with the surprise release of his latest mixtape Might Delete Later, which produced 12 new songs, including “7 Minute Drill”.

Vampire Weekend finally shared their first album in five years, Only God Was Above Us, this Friday and promoted its release with “Prep-School Gangsters”. The Black Keys also returned with a new LP Ohio Players, and “On the Game” emerged as one of its best new songs.

Several rising stars weren’t threatened by Friday’s busy release schedule, and they shared new music with the world. Benson Boone’s debut album Fireworks & Rollerblades produced a new single “Cry”, while Lizzy McAlpine rocked our world with “Drunk, Running” from Older.

Our list also features several songs that serve as the promo for new albums of our favorite artists. Charli XCX dropped “B2b” from Brat, Sia joined forces with Labrinth for “Incredible” from Reasonable Woman, while Glass Animals announced their new album I Love You So F***ing Much and promoted it with lead single “Creatures in Heaven”.

]]> As we approach the last days of 2023, our favorite artists are taking things slow and saving new music for the new year. That didn’t stop some of them from surprising us with brand-new tracks just in time for the holidays, including Reneé Rapp, Megan Thee Stallion, Karol G, and Lil Baby.

This week has been pretty epic for hip-hop collaborations, starring with B.G. and Gucci Mane’s new album Choppers & Bricks, which produced the song “Talk”.

Nicki Minaj teamed up with Monica and Keyshia Cole for “Love Me Enough”, a bonus track featured on a deluxe edition of her latest album Pink Friday 2. “Lace It” by the late Juice WRLD, Eminem, and Benny Blanco also made the cut, along with Bas’s “Home Alone” feat. J. Cole.

Speaking of epic collaborations that hit the shelves this week, none of them created more buzz than Reneé Rapp & Megan Thee Stallion’s “Not My Fault”. They both channeled their inner Regina George in this catchy bop, set to be featured in the upcoming Mean Girls musical remake.

Check out the rest of our list for this week, and get ready to discover new music by Lil Baby, Karol G, John Legend, James Arthur, and more.

Reneé Rapp, Megan Thee Stallion – “Not My Fault”

]]> It’s that time of the week again when we dive into the world of new music! From epic collaborations to new songs from our favorite rock bands, this week was nothing short of spectacular, and it’s given us some pretty addictive new tracks.

This week saw Janelle Monáe tease her first album in five years—and the news was worth the wait. Her latest single “Lipstick Lover” is the week’s most exciting new release, and it’s in pretty good company.

Thirty Seconds To Mars also announced the release of their album It’s the End of the World but It’s a Beautiful Day, and they gave us a taste of things to come with a new song “Stuck”. Queens of the Stone Age are also busy teasing their next album In Times New Roman…, and we finally know what to expect from this record after hearing the lead single “Emotion Sickness”.

It’s been a great week for rock bands in general, and you’ll have your ears blown away by the new songs from Imagine Dragons and Nothing But Thieves. Hip-hop fans should also get ready to add some new songs to their playlist since the likes of Lil Durk and. J. Cole releasing new music.

Arlo Parks ft. Phoebe Bridgers – “Pegasus”

Imagine Dragons – “Crushed”

Nothing But Thieves – “Overcome”

Queens of the Stone Age – “Emotion Sickness”

Janelle Monáe – “Lipstick Lover”

]]> Like the rest of the BTS members, J-Hope is working on solo music, and his latest collaboration might just be the best one yet. J-Hope paid homage to his hip-hop and street dance roots in a new single “On the Street” featuring J. Cole.

J-Hope and J. Cole filmed the music video in New York City, and they can be seen moving along a cityscape as the clip progresses. “On the Street” is the best of both worlds, and it opens with J-Hope’s verse, before J. Cole takes over in the second verse, rapping about his personal journey.

This song is the latest addition to J-Hope’s series “Hope on the Street”. He chose the street as the key motif because it can serve as a metaphor for life since it’s the place where many people’s everyday lives pass by.

“It comes from ‘street dance,’ the genre that represents J-Hope’s roots as an artist, and it also symbolizes the path that he will continue to take with his fans around the world,” reads the statement from his label HYBE.

“On the Street” is most likely J-Hope’s last single we’ll get to hear in quite some time since he’ll soon begin the enlistment process to complete his mandatory military service in South Korea.

]]> J. Cole is back with some new music, this time releasing tracks “The Climb Back” and “Lion King on Ice.” The two songs serve as singles for the rapper’s upcoming LP The Fall Off.

According to the track info, “The Climb Back” was produced by J. Cole himself.

The production on “Lion King on Ice” was handled by T-Minus, Jetson, and Cole.

The Fall Off will be J. Cole’s sixth studio album, following the critically acclaimed 2018’s KOD. However, Cole still doesn’t have a release date set for the record.

According to the rapper, the album isn’t complete, and he is still working on the finishing touches.

“No date for the new album yet, taking my time, still finishing,” Cole revealed on social media while announcing “The Climb Back” and “Lion King on Ice.”

These two songs were not J. Cole’s first new music in 2020, as he shared stand-alone single “Snow on tha Bluff ” back in June.  The song, revolving around police brutality and racial injustice, was met with mixed reviews and peaked at No. 54 on US Billboard Hot 100.

]]> J. Cole has declared his feature on the Gang Starr track “Family and Loyalty” his last guest appearance.

The American rapper recently featured on the group’s first song in 16 years. The group had reunited to share a track featuring the posthumous vocals from MC Guru. According to Gang Starr’s DJ Premier, Cole could not resist contributing vocals to the track when he heard it.

“When it comes to this generation of MCs, ones that are lyrically on the level that Guru was on and someone that he would want to work with, Cole is that guy,” he said of the feature. “When Cole heard the record he got the chills and knew it was a classic.”

When the track was released, J. Cole shared it on Twitter, declaring it to be an “honor” to have featured. In the tweet, he also announced that the feature would be his last.

J. Cole fans are certainly disappointed as a Drake collaboration was promised at the rapper’s show in April. Unfortunately, J. Cole has left no room for ambiguity in his tweet, stating “this is the last feature you’ll hear from me.”

You can listen to his last feature on “Family and Loyalty” below.

]]> J. Cole recently treated his fans with a nice surprise, announcing that the Revenge of the Dreamers III compilation from his label Dreamville is coming out on July 5th.

But it turns out this wasn’t all. The label, founded by Cole and his manager Ibrahim Hamad, now also released a documentary that offers an insight into the creation of the project.

Revenge of the Dreamers III was recorded in Atlanta’s Tree Sound Studios in January and features J.Cole, Vince Staples, BJ the Chicago Kid, Swizz Beatz, Kenny Beats and many more. The recording sessions were followed closely by a camera crew, which managed to capture some intriguing moments and the dynamics between artists and producers.

“There’s different energy in all of these different rooms, with a bunch of producers coming in, a bunch of rappers coming in, singers, managers, you name it,” videographer Chase Fade described the sessions. “If you pop in one room and they’re making trap music, you pop in another room and they’re making some R&B, pop in another room and they’re making some soulful stuff. You never know.”

Dreamville made the documentary available for streaming on YouTube, so watch it below.

]]> Ty Dolla $ign and J. Cole surprised their fans with soulful collaboration “Purple Emoji”, and this moving song finally gets the music video it deserves.

Instead of putting themselves in the spotlight, the two rappers gave other people an opportunity to shine, and it’s proven to be the best choice they could’ve possibly make. The emotional video for their latest track shows numerous couples enjoying their time with each other.

Director Olivia Rose recruited people who share a real connection for this video because she hopped their strong bond will bring vulnerability and authenticity to “Purple Emoji”.

“I wanted to stay true to the lyrics and create a video that showed real couples, real friends, real siblings and the tiniest of actions of intimacy they share. I think the outcome is a video that can resonate with all people from all walks of life and is representative of the full spectrum of love,” said Rose in a statement.

]]> Symbolic, provocative and surreal – these are three words that best describe J. Cole’s music video for his latest single “Middle Child”. It’s one of his most powerful visuals to date, and it perfectly captures the lyrics of this self-reflective track.

“Middle Child” sees J. Cole wandering from one ominous location to the next, and it features a bunch of little moments that are worth a closer look. One tiny segment that got everyone talking are heads of three rappers mounted above the fireplace, with gold plates reading “Your Favorite Rapper,” “This Could Be You” and “Ask For A Feature?”

The title, lyrics and a video for this track all point at the man who’s stuck between two generations, and trying to figure out where he belongs in the modern hip-hop landscape.

J. Cole gave us an amazing example of a soul searching and self-reflection with “Middle Child”, which became his highest-charting song to date after reaching no. 4 on Billboard Hot 100.

At this point, it’s still unclear if this track is a standalone single or a part of a forthcoming release. J. Cole is currently working on several major projects, including his new studio album The Fall Off and the third volume of Dreamville Records’ compilation “Revenge of the Dreamers”.

]]> J. Cole has declared his feature on the Gang Starr track “Family and Loyalty” his last guest appearance.

The American rapper recently featured on the group’s first song in 16 years. The group had reunited to share a track featuring the posthumous vocals from MC Guru. According to Gang Starr’s DJ Premier, Cole could not resist contributing vocals to the track when he heard it.

“When it comes to this generation of MCs, ones that are lyrically on the level that Guru was on and someone that he would want to work with, Cole is that guy,” he said of the feature. “When Cole heard the record he got the chills and knew it was a classic.”

When the track was released, J. Cole shared it on Twitter, declaring it to be an “honor” to have featured. In the tweet, he also announced that the feature would be his last.

J. Cole fans are certainly disappointed as a Drake collaboration was promised at the rapper’s show in April. Unfortunately, J. Cole has left no room for ambiguity in his tweet, stating “this is the last feature you’ll hear from me.”

You can listen to his last feature on “Family and Loyalty” below.

]]> J. Cole recently treated his fans with a nice surprise, announcing that the Revenge of the Dreamers III compilation from his label Dreamville is coming out on July 5th.

But it turns out this wasn’t all. The label, founded by Cole and his manager Ibrahim Hamad, now also released a documentary that offers an insight into the creation of the project.

Revenge of the Dreamers III was recorded in Atlanta’s Tree Sound Studios in January and features J.Cole, Vince Staples, BJ the Chicago Kid, Swizz Beatz, Kenny Beats and many more. The recording sessions were followed closely by a camera crew, which managed to capture some intriguing moments and the dynamics between artists and producers.

“There’s different energy in all of these different rooms, with a bunch of producers coming in, a bunch of rappers coming in, singers, managers, you name it,” videographer Chase Fade described the sessions. “If you pop in one room and they’re making trap music, you pop in another room and they’re making some R&B, pop in another room and they’re making some soulful stuff. You never know.”

Dreamville made the documentary available for streaming on YouTube, so watch it below.

]]> Ty Dolla $ign and J. Cole surprised their fans with soulful collaboration “Purple Emoji”, and this moving song finally gets the music video it deserves.

Instead of putting themselves in the spotlight, the two rappers gave other people an opportunity to shine, and it’s proven to be the best choice they could’ve possibly make. The emotional video for their latest track shows numerous couples enjoying their time with each other.

Director Olivia Rose recruited people who share a real connection for this video because she hopped their strong bond will bring vulnerability and authenticity to “Purple Emoji”.

“I wanted to stay true to the lyrics and create a video that showed real couples, real friends, real siblings and the tiniest of actions of intimacy they share. I think the outcome is a video that can resonate with all people from all walks of life and is representative of the full spectrum of love,” said Rose in a statement.

]]> Symbolic, provocative and surreal – these are three words that best describe J. Cole’s music video for his latest single “Middle Child”. It’s one of his most powerful visuals to date, and it perfectly captures the lyrics of this self-reflective track.

“Middle Child” sees J. Cole wandering from one ominous location to the next, and it features a bunch of little moments that are worth a closer look. One tiny segment that got everyone talking are heads of three rappers mounted above the fireplace, with gold plates reading “Your Favorite Rapper,” “This Could Be You” and “Ask For A Feature?”

The title, lyrics and a video for this track all point at the man who’s stuck between two generations, and trying to figure out where he belongs in the modern hip-hop landscape.

J. Cole gave us an amazing example of a soul searching and self-reflection with “Middle Child”, which became his highest-charting song to date after reaching no. 4 on Billboard Hot 100.

At this point, it’s still unclear if this track is a standalone single or a part of a forthcoming release. J. Cole is currently working on several major projects, including his new studio album The Fall Off and the third volume of Dreamville Records’ compilation “Revenge of the Dreamers”.
