Coi Leray - Bops
Coi Leray’s star power is undeniable. Her distinctive vocal delivery, catchy hooks, and a blend of rap and melodic elements make her stand out among all women in hip-hop. In her latest music video, Coi proclaims herself a certified hit-maker. Over a playful soundscape, the Hackensack native casually talks her sh** about being one of rap’s biggest rising stars. Coi’s sophomore album aptly titled Coi arrives on Friday, June 23rd.
BBG Steppaa x Sugarhill Ddot - Spinnin’
Rising New Jersey Drill phenom BBG Steppaa links up with Sugarhill Ddot to deliver a one-two punch combo on “Spinnin’.” Over an ominous instrumental enhanced by infectious bass lines, BBG and Ddot exchange rapid-fire flows in the environment that shaped their perspectives. The music video captures the essence of Drill culture as viewers watch both rappers showcase qualities that make them stand out within the subgenre.
Samad Savage - Alone (Hey Love)
Samad Savage is one of the most talented artists in the Tri-State area. His popularity continues to ascend to new heights with each release. His latest effort “Alone (Hey Love)” captures the feeling of what could be love at first sight. Press play and listen as Samad recounts his encounter with a woman that left him enamored.
Nacho Bandz - Gall3ry
Oh, it’s a party. Nacho Bandz’s melodic cadence, effortless swagger, and fancy footwork glide on “Gall3ry.” The compelling visual effects enhance the wavy trap-inspired production as Nacho talks that fly sh**. We’re doing our dance on this one.
Snowgoons x K-Prez - Sharpshooter
K-Prez is cut from a rare cloth of MCs. His tactful raps are delivered with an assurance that commands your undivided attention. It’s only headshots on “Sharpshooter,” produced by the German-based boom bap collective Snowgoons. The gritty, hard-hitting drum beat compliment Prez’s aggressive style. There’s no gimmick here, K-Prez is the excellence of execution when it comes to this rap sh**. All hail the master chef.
