CUPCAKKE - "MOSH PIT"

Prolific rapper CupcakKe is back one week after "Mickey" with new single "Mosh Pit." The song is a little more mid-tempo than you might expect from something called "Mosh Pit," but it does work in some punk-infused gang vocals.

SAWEETIE - "RISKY" (ft. DRAKEO THE RULER)

Saweetie is still gearing up for her highly anticipated debut album Pretty Bitch Music, but first she released the Pretty Summer Playlist: Season 1 EP, which finds her hopping on tracks by Bbyafricka and Loui, and also delivering her own new new single ft. Drakeo The Ruler, "Risky."

Ahead of his "How High 4/20 Special" edition of Verzuz with Method Man, Redman announced a new album, Muddy Waters 2, and dropped this new late '90s / early 2000s-sounding song.

IDK - "SHOOT MY SHOT" (ft. OFFSET)

Maryland rapper IDK goes in a little more of a pop-rap direction than usual on "Shoot My Shot," which was produced by T-Minus (Drake, Nicki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar, etc) and features Offset of Migos.

ANDRA DAY - "PHONE DIES" (prod. ANDERSON .PAAK)

Fresh off her acclaimed role as Billie Holiday in The United States vs. Billie Holiday, Andra Day has released a new Anderson .Paak-produced song that finds her blurring the lines between classic jazz-soul and modern atmospheric R&B.

DAWN RICHARD - "MORNIN | STREETLIGHTS"

Dawn Richard has shared another song off her anticipated Merge debut Second Line, and this one's chilled-out, soulful R&B.

DEAN BLUNT - "STOOZY" (ft. A$AP ROCKY)
