R&B/Hip-Hop Fresh Picks of the Week: Justine Skye, Molly Santana, J.P., Leon Thomas & More


Listen to the best new R&B/hip-hop songs of the week, including tracks from Justine Skye, Leon Thomas, Kaytranada, J.P., Mavi, and Benji Blue Bills.

The Power Rangers-themed visual packs on the nostalgia as BBB transforms into the Blue Striker – hilariously laced in a navy Nike Tech sweatsuit – to save the city from the twerking villain, but don’t look the giant seductress in her eye or you’ll meet your demise. With a video straight out of Severance and with a beat produced by Hollywood Cole that flips the same sample in the rare B-side “Exhibit B” from Yasiin Bey and Jay Electronica, these two prove to be a couple of barbarians that the late, great Sean Price would be proud of. The repeated “ owa-owa ” refrain, borrowed from The Buggles’ new wave classic “Video Killed the Radio Star,” adds a playful, almost psychedelic rhythm to the song, acting as a quirky response to everything from sex to success.
