Holiday festivities, turn ups, and events of the like may have the lot of you out of the musical loop. If so, don’t worry; Hip-Hop Wired has your back. On this fine Friday evening, we present to you this weeks installment of The Wrap Up: Hip-Hop Wired’s Top 10 Songs Of The Week.
This edition of our weekly series is dedicated to those who forgot there were a sea of rappers because of Jay-Z’s Magna Carta Holy Grail.
Outside of that — though a new Hov song may appear on the list — a bevy of other rhymes and crooners provided audible blessings.
One track came as a surprise release from a former G.O.O.D Music artist. Another was the new single from a bubbling singer-songwriter from Florida. Each of the 10 we selected are quality, though.
Hit the jump to hear a few songs you may have missed this week.

Atmosphere – “Bob Seger”
The Minneapolis duo delivered a smooth track that’s perfect for a kickback or a mellow social gathering.
Elijah Blake ft J. Cole – “Vendetta”
Light Skinned Jermaine assisted with a verse and provided the production for the young Def Jam crooner’s new single. Everybody wins.
A$AP Ferg ft. A$AP Rocky – “Shabba”
Knocking trap sonics echo through the Harlemite’s new track from his long-awaited Trap Lord project. The summer may be in good hands.
Tony Touch ft. D Stroy – “Touch And D Stroy”
Look no further if a classic Hip-Hop sound is what you seek. Tony Toca spit his bars over a Premo beat, by the way. We’ll be on time for that.
Jon Connor – “Judge And Jury”
Along with his new project, Unconscious State, the Flint, Mich. rhymer delivered a visual for this unquestionable heater.
The Bullitts – “World Inside Your Rainbow”
Check out an ill treatment for this gem from They Die By Dawn and Other Short Stories.
Meek Mill – “Versace” (Freestyle)
Though Drake’s verse still reigns supreme, the MMG rhymer delivered a worthy adversary with this “Versace” freestyle.
Trey Songz – “Sensational”
A song you can dance to with your significant other is a powerful thing. Thank Trey for providing one.
Jay-Z ft. Justin Timberlake – “Holy Grail”
Magna Carta Holy Grail has ultimately lived up to the hype. With that, fans received the J.T.-assisted intro/first official single to an already platinum album. Clap for him.
KiD CuDi – “Going To The Ceremony”
The Lonely Stoner let go of an emotional cut via his Soundcloud page seemingly out of the blue. It’s pretty damn good, too.
