Metal Lungies

If you’re not in this video, you don’t exist.

Twitter antics aside, OG Maco can sound like three different equally exciting rappers depending on placement.

Pretty much perfect.

The cynic bets against the breakout pop star. ‘It’s just one record.’ ‘I’m tired of it already.’ ‘That’s only going to work once.’ And yet Fetty Wap’s post-“Trap Queen” batting average is better than anyone in Atlanta’s. He was toiling away in New Jersey when he decided to try singing on a track and just like that, he chanced upon astute pop sensibilities. Now, everyone wants a hook before the well runs dry. And you can’t blame them — the getting is good.

Somewhere, Yukmouth and Numskull are smiling.

SoundCloud producers chipmunking 2000-something R&B records, not giving a fuck.

The DJ Mustard sound endures.

Alley Boy with perhaps the hardest record of the year. “Faith (Believe)” is for mobilizing armies.

Dom Kennedy’s lethargic delivery only really works over perfect lounging music. Add “2 Bad” to the summer playlist.

The other gem from Frank Nitt’s Frankie Rothstein album.
