10. Styles P & Blazin – “True & Living”

You have to walk with a mean bop when songs like this play.

9. Tech N9ne ft. T.I. & Zuse – “On The Bible”

So many bars. So many damn bars.

7. Bad Lucc ft. Problem & Skeme – “Gimmie Mine”

First, we’re here for any track featuring Bad Lucc and Problem. Secondly, the West Coast rapper’s upcoming project is highly anticipated around these parts.

6. D.R.A.M. – “Excessive”

Producer: Sango & The SEVENth

The rising Virginia continues to impress with his freebie releases. And who knew he was good with Sango?

5. Wale – “The God Smile”

Producer: DJ Dahi

Excuse me. Yours truly has been chanting, “Go shine your light on me,” all week.

4. Ikey – “Story, Story”

Producer: Task Productions

Premiered by Hip-Hop Wired, this new heater from the Washington D.C. newcomer should tell you to open your ears.

3. Kehlani ft. BJ The Chicago Kid – “Down For You”

Producer: Jahaan Sweet

This is that two-step with your significant other, no matter where you’re at, music.

2. Baauer ft. Fetty Wap & Dubbel Dutch – “Promises”

Producer: Baauer & Dubbel Dutch

Sure, we could criticize this record for being extremely limited in the lyric department. Fortunately, what Fetty lacks as a lyricist, he more than makes up for with his ability to make listeners feel good.

1. Wale ft. J. Cole – “The Pessimist”

Producer: Osinachi

A part of the beauty in Folarin’s The Album About Nothing is that he carefully selected the features, and used the artist to his advantage. Hear proof above.
