PRICE - "ISSUE" (ft. VINCE STAPLES)

West Coast rapper Price (of Audio Push) released his second solo album F.O.E.S. today, and one of its highlights is this song featuring Vince Staples.

DAMONE TYRELL - "BEVERLYMONTANA" (ft. BENNY THE BUTCHER)

Benny the Butcher seems to be dropping at least one verse a week in 2021, and this week he's back on Damone Tyrell's "BeverlyMontana." Benny and Damone both sound fired-up, and the triumphant, neck-snapping, early 2000s New York-style production doesn't hurt either.

Also, you can pick up a vinyl copy of Benny's 'Burden of Proof' in our store.

MONEYBAGG YO - "HARD FOR THE NEXT" (ft. FUTURE)

LIL NAS X - "MONTERO (CALL BE MY YOUR NAME)"

Lil Nas X has released his first single of 2021. It's fueled by acoustic guitar and snake charmer melodies, and it comes with a totally over-the-top video directed by Lil Nas X and Tanu Muino. Lil Nas X dedicated the song to his 14-year-old self, and says "this will open doors for many other queer people to simply exist."

--

COI LERAY - "BIG PURR" (ft. POOH SHIESTY)

Coi Leray and Pooh Shiesty are two of the fastest-rising rappers around, and they sound great going back and forth on this brooding new song.

BOBBY SESSIONS - "COG IN THE MACHINE"

Despite collaborations with giants like Killer Mike and Megan Thee Stallion, Dallas rapper Bobby Sessions remains too underrated, and this new song reminds you that he's only getting better.

Shelley FKA DRAM follows "Exposure" with another smooth, soulful song, "Cooking With Grease."

DAWN RICHARD - "JACUZZI"

Dawn Richard's new album for Merge, Second Line, is due out April 30, and she's shared another new single, "Jacuzzi," today. About its accompanying video, Dawn tells Flaunt, "The visual is a celebration of body positivity, that femininity and sexuality can be in any body form. What a mother moves like will be different from a young woman with no kids in the prime of her 20s. Doesn’t make her less sexy. Stretch marks, curves, blemishes, and imperfections are seen throughout the simulation. We chose to leave those unedited to showcase the beauty in the everyday woman unfiltered."

DUS x THA GOD FAHIM - "TAKING MEASURES"

Having released two albums with Your Old Droog this year, Atlanta rapper Tha God Fahim hops on a jazzy, psychedelic new track from NJ producer DUS.
