The music to have a slower tempo this time around, but the quality shines through, whether your preference is a great turn-up tune or a track with a bit more substance.

10. Don Cannon ft. Rich Homie Quan & A$AP Ferg – “Big Money”
Producer: C4
Don Cannon masterminded this Atlanta/New York City connection, which is a certified heater if we do say so.
9. BADBADNOTGOOD & Ghostface Killah ft. Elzhi – “Gunshowers”
Producer: BADBADNOTGOOD
BBNG and Tony Starks have a solid chemistry going, so it’s no surprise that they’ve used their collaborative energies to craft the upcoming Sour Soul EP. Peep the lead single above.
8. Lupe Fiasco ft. Sirah – “Lilies”
Producer: N/A

Fiasco delivered the first taste from his upcoming Lost In The Atlantic mixtape. We’d say that this is a step in the right direction.
7. Young Thug ft. Lil Wayne – “Take Kare”
Producer: London On Da Track
The long-awaited Thugga and Tunechi collaboration has arrived. Does it measure up to expectations?
6. Black Milk ft. Random Axe – “Scum”
Producer: Black Milk
It’s story time. Black Milk enlists Sean Price and Guilty Simpson to help him wax poetics about the streets in three verses.
5. Diamond District – “Erything”
Producer: Oddisee
It was actually difficult to select a favorite track from Diamond District’s March On Washington album. But in the end, the principles the trio spit and the complimentary horns-centered production on “Erything” was too much to deny in the end.
4. Big K.R.I.T. – “Cadillactica”
Producer: DJ Dahi
Reason #4563 that we’re excited to hear Krizzle’s new album can be heard above.
3. Chance The Rapper – “No Better Blues”
Producers: The Social Experiment (Nate Fox, Donnie Trumpet & Peter Cottontale) & Chance The Rapper
Chance managed to make us appreciate a dismal topic on his latest release.
2. Jay Rock – “Parental Advisory”
Producer: SmokeyGotBeatz
There’s something about a song that has a hard-hitting West Coast knock. Luckily for us, TDE’s elder statesmen provides that sound above.
1. Run The Jewels ft. Zack De La Rocha – “Close Your Eyes (And Count To F*ck)”
Producer: El-P
There’s beauty in the chaos of RTJ’s bombarding sound. De La Rocha’s presence only enhances the organized noise.
