R&B/Hip-Hop Fresh Picks of the Week: Destin Conrad & Alex Isley, Jhené Aiko, 21 Savage & More

Featuring production from London on da Track, “Redrum” — “murder” spelled backwards, of course — finds the Grammy-winner rattling off his gun collection and delivering a slew of menacing metaphors and one-liners.
