R&B/Hip-Hop Fresh Picks of the Week: Lefty Gunplay, Moses Sumney & Hayley Williams, Fetty Wap & More
Listen to new must-hear songs from emerging R&B/hip-hop artists like Valee, Abir, Kocky Ka, Honey Bxby, TA Thomas, Moses Sumney, Naomi Sharon & more.
With surprise guests including Baby Keem(who joined Dot for “Family Ties”) and Kaytranada(who delivered his viral remix of Teedra Moses’ “Be Your Girl” alongside SZA on vocals), the slightly damp night was a beautiful ode to all things hip-hop. Not sure if you’ll hear anything smoother than Valee and Spitta over Harry Fraud production, so check out the Chicago rapper kick slick lines like “my pockets filled up with your favorite kinda cake” and stay for Curren$y’s various car references — which will never get old, especially when laid over a smooth saxophone sample straight out of a late-’80s/early-’90s crime drama. Meek Mill and Fridayy turned their pain into champagne on the mournful “Proud of Me,” and the poignant duo returned to lend emerging Brooklyn rapper Kocky Ka a stamp of approval on the “Dark Nights” remix.
