R&B/Hip-Hop Fresh Picks of the Week: Elijah Blake, Dave East, Cordae, Big Moochie Grape & More


Listen to new must-hear songs from emerging R&B/hip-hop artists like S!MONE and Wynne.

GloRilla, another beloved Southern female artist, dominated music news this week with the release of Glorious, her highly anticipated debut studio album featuring collaborations with Megan Thee Stallion, Kirk Franklin, Latto, Sexyy Red, Muni Long, and more. “I miss my friend/ Stay the night/ And love me out/ Of these chains/ Got me stuck in my ways,” they croon in the final chorus, Blake’s forlorn falsetto and Streeter’s skittering rap-inflected cadence beautifully coalescing across a sweeping, string-laden soundscape cultivated by Eric Hudson. After Missy Elliott didn’t give Wolfacejoeyy sample clearance, he went back to the drawing board on the woozy production for the BEAM-assisted “Nympho.” The sultry yet intoxicating track feels like something out of the PartyNextDoor or Bryson Tiller playbook with Joeyy’s melodic sauce bringing the steamy composition to another level.
