R&B/Hip-Hop Fresh Picks of the Week: Rexx Life Raj, Lil Nas X, Jazlyn Martin, 4Batz, Zyah Belle & More
Listen to new must-hear songs from emerging R&B/hip-hop artists like Diany Dior and JayDon.
In the wee hours of Friday morning (March 14), Playboi Carti finally unveiled his highly anticipated third studio album, Music, after five years of seemingly endless teases, standalone singles, guest appearances, and festival performances. “Sometimes I write and start to follow my feelings/ Could play the victim but these views will make me a realist/ I’m a Black man but still I understand I got privilege/ Bro, look at Rafah, where Israelis dropping bombs on a village,” Rexx spits to kick off the first verse of his poignant new collaboration with Chi-Town MC Mick Jenkins and Austin-based act BLK ODYSSY. Dior shrewdly interpolates Missy Elliott’s “Work It” anthem and repeats the track’s title on an earworm of a chorus that bounces off the blaring production, which is sure to get listeners’ hips gyrating toward an Uptown dancefloor — just in time for the warmer weather coming.
