God Does Like Ugly - JID (Album)
If you like "Bodies," then you're going to love what JID did with God Does Like Ugly. You're going to need to grab your favorite over-the-ear headphones when you spin this one!
Mr. Nobody - Zoe Osama
LA’s own Zoe Osama is following up his single "How U Like Me Now?" with his album Mr.Nobody. He’s been building momentum, and this project could be the one to put him on the map beyond the West Coast.
Trunks - A$AP Rocky (Highest 2 Lowest Soundtrack)
When I heard this in the film Highest 2 Lowest, I was hoping it made the soundtrack because I need that on my gym playlist. It reminds me of the early A$AP days with that hypnotic energy that makes you want to move like you’re in your own music video.

Imaginary Players - Cardi B
Cardi is paying homage to JAY-Z in her latest single "Imaginary Players." From the production to the nods in the music video, it’s serving big New York energy and setting the tone for what’s to come on her sophomore album.
Nice Shoes - Steve Lacy
There’s nothing like cruising on a sunny day with new Steve Lacy playing. This Friday, he’s dropping "Nice Shoes," and it’s pure vibe material. Add it to your drive-and-vibe playlist and thank me later.
BP - Luh Tyler
Luh Tyler is keeping it consistent, and "BP" might be his next viral bop. His signature style is still intact, but the production switches things up from his usual vibe. I can get with it!
