Finessin Distribution Deals – Album by Fox BD

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 16:37:49 +0000

Fox BD is well aware of how sneaky and slithery the music industry can be, which is why he’s emphasizing the independent grind on his new album Finessin Distribution Deals. Across 15 tracks, YTB Fatt’s twin shows off his conversational and matter-of-fact style with ease, employing punchy and frenetic production to match his energy. The Arkansas MC also tapped various special guests to provide features on here, namely Lil Yachty, Sexyy Red, Babyface Ray, the aforementioned Fatt, and Gcode. It all goes by very fast, but it definitely makes an impact. This is Fox BD’s biggest look so far, and we’re looking forward to hearing what he does next.

Release Date: July 17, 2026

Me N The Boyz – Song by Kurupt, Snoop Dogg & DJ Battlecat

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 16:27:55 +0000

Kurupt and Snoop Dogg have been putting on for the West Coast for decades, and the Cali legends are always keeping that legacy alive. Their latest single, the DJ Battlecat-produced “Me N The Boyz,” shows that chemistry in full effect. But the sonic pallet is more reminiscent of a funk track, with horns and background vocals crafting a catchy melody for the drums and claps to crash over. Also, the flow is pretty stable throughout, and even though the song is noisy, there’s still a lot of smoothness that Kurupt and Snoop embody on the cut. Hopefully Death Row Records continues releasing throwback cuts for the West Coast.

Release Date: July 17, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Me N The Boyz

Bankrolls, bank accounts crazy as f**k,
Money everywhere, Dre, Snoop, and Kurupt,
Looking at these n***as like ticks and fleas,
You heard what Dogg said, he got M’s and B’s

Better Than McDonald’s – Album by Gangrene (Oh No & The Alchemist)

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 16:18:43 +0000

The Alchemist has many collaborative bonds, but few are as close as the one with his Gangrene partner, Oh No. The two just dropped their new album Better Than McDonald’s, which proved to be controversial. That’s because of the seemingly AI-generated cover art. But when it comes to the music, both rappers shine while Uncle Al provides evocative and typically engaging instrumentals. There’s also a laudable list of features on here from Estee Nack, Ab-Soul, Rome Streetz, Armand Hammer, Meyhem Lauren, Boldy James, and Wildchild. Better Than McDonald’s is another solid collection of raps from these titans, which fans can expect every few months at this point.

Release Date: July 17, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Tracklist of Better Than McDonald’s

Note Ascension
Forever
The Xtract (feat. Estee Nack)
King Taco (feat. Ab-Soul)
Muscle Head
Gas Factory (feat. Rome Streetz)
Errybody (feat. Armand Hammer)
Microscopic Matter (feat. Meyhem Lauren)

Minding My Business – Song by Dave East & Harry Fraud

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 16:08:24 +0000

Dave East is always relentless on the mic, especially with someone like Harry Fraud behind the boards. As such, their new single “Minding My Business” represents another match made in heaven for the two, with Fraud allowing dreamy guitar licks and peppy trap drums to highlight East’s fast flows and declarations of the grind. It’s the latest track off their upcoming collaborative project Price Of Pain, which will come out later this month. Hopefully “Minding My Business” is a good indication of the quality standard of the album. After all, it goes by in a flash, and shows why Dave remains a standout East Coast MC.

Release Date: July 17, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: Price Of Pain

Quotable Lyrics from Minding My Business

You step on my foot, you might wake up a giant,
Remember that David and Goliath s**t,
It’s funny, that’s that Richard Pryor s**t,
Yellow the h*e, Prada suit like a fireman

Rick Ross Faces Backlash Over Kendrick Lamar Impression On “Set In Stone”

Aron A. — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 16:08:00 +0000

A few months ago, Rick Ross quickly dismissed Drake’s ICEMAN as a horrendous album and said that his friends who listened to the project lost an hour of their life. Unfortunately for him, it feels like a lot of people feel the same way about his new album, Set In Stone. After building up anticipation for months, Ross came through with his latest project, and the immediate reactions indicate a stark drop in quality compared to his other releases.

Fans have been going in on the album, specifically the song, “Porsche GT3.” Some have described Ross’ flow as a horrible impersonation of either Kendrick Lamar or Future. Others have compared the flow to the one Drake used on “Jumpman.” Either way, the reception to this new project is not positive.

this sounds like someone doing a bad impression of those vocal inflections Kendrick uses https://t.co/qUwGZP0W4z

“Rick Ross flow is terrible on these amazing beats. Don’t even bother wasting yall time,” one X user wrote. Another claimed that it might be one of the worst mainstream rap albums released in the past few years–possibly even worse than the incredibly underwhelming The Carter VI. “This Rick Ross album might be the worst album I’ve heard from a main stream n***a in the last 3 years. Wow. It’s either this one or Wayne’s last project,” another wrote.

Rick Ross Drops His Latest Album

The album boasts 19 songs in total with a stacked list of guest appearances. Set In Stone includes appearances from Don Toliver, T.I., French Montana, Max B, BigXThaPlug, Kodak Black, Yung Miami, Gucci Mane, Leon Thomas, and more. Considering the reception, it will be quite interesting to see its first week sales projections. Stay tuned for those numbers this weekend. We’ll keep you posted on anymore updates regarding Rick Ross.

Walk – Song by Molly Santana & Chy Cartier

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 15:55:36 +0000

Molly Santana and Chy Cartier are bubbling in their respective U.S. and U.K. scenes, and their chemistry on their new single “Walk” shows why. Both femcees have great energy on the cut, flowing with ease despite the raucous and buzzy nature of the drums. Icy synths lead the way in the first part of the song, and the beat switch takes things in a more glitzy and woozy direction. But it’s still tough as nails, and the production stays impactful while the artists slow their flows down. “Walk” is not anything new for either rising star, but it shows how they’re sharpening their skills to great effect.

Release Date: July 17, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Walk

I went into my problems and turned them to dollars,
These n***as ain’t popping s**t if it ain’t a bottle,
I got a big-a** mission, roadrunning on ’em,
Got some big shoes to fill, my n***as need me out here

Flashing Before Your Eyes – Song by G-Eazy & Logic

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 15:46:13 +0000

G-Eazy and Logic went for nostalgic and triumphant boom-bap vibes on their new single “Flashing Before Your Eyes,” taking both MCs back to basics. While they have played with a lot of other genres throughout their careers, this new track sees them both flex their lyrical skills and drop casual but earnest bars over a sunny instrumental. They also trade contrasting energies, with Eazy coming off as more reflective compared to Logic’s more animated passion. Some production effects like pitched-down vocals and record spins help add more color to an otherwise straightforward instrumental. It’s a simple but effective cut, and we’ll see if they have more in store.

Release Date: July 17, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Flashing Before Your Eyes

Been planting seeds, potted through, water it then you grow it,
And this life’ll flash before your eyes before you know it,
Only heaven is right above it or below it,
But this ain’t Adam Sandler in Click, you can’t fast forward or slow it

Played First – Song by Real Boston Richey

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 15:38:40 +0000

Real Boston Richey has been through a lot of controversy this year following abuse and grooming claims that shocked fans. In fact, he had teased quitting hip-hop after this, but it seems like that isn’t the case. Instead, Boston Richey just dropped his new single “Played First,” which is about as confident and hard-hitting as listeners have come to expect. The instrumental doesn’t go in wild directions, instead focusing on simple drums and a standard mix of keys and synths. But Richey does a lot on the mic to show his personality and disdain for folks trying to take advantage of him.

Release Date: July 17, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Played First

Trenches n***a, I got super flavor,
You can go back, ask her how much money I done gave her,
She could be the baddest in the room, I’ll still trade her,
Give no f**ks, since the b***h done cheated, I done played first

Mileage – Song by B2K

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 15:29:53 +0000

B2K is back following their Verzuz battle with Pretty Ricky, and their new song “Mileage” previews some big things to come. They are working on a comeback project right now, and this lead single aims to rekindle their chemistry and refresh their R&B stylings for a newer generation. It succeeds by both contemporary standards and in a nostalgic way, with minimal synth pads allowing Omarion, Raz-B, J-Boog, and Lil’ Fizz to take the track over with their vocal melodies and harmonies. It’s all a very pleasant and easy-going experience, and hopefully there is even more heat on the way from the group.

Release Date: July 17, 2026

Genre: R&B

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Mileage

So many exes is on me, so many calling me over,
I tell them call me for closure, but never call me when sober
And she’s addicted and I like it,
Hands up when you ride it

Sock It 2 My Pocket – Album by Rome Streetz

Gabriel Bras Nevares — Fri, 17 Jul 2026 15:21:49 +0000

Rome Streetz always displays how dexterous he is on the mic, whether on a single song or across a whole tracklist. His new album Sock It 2 My Pocket is one of his strongest full-lengths yet, displaying more versatility throughout more varied production. Also, features from Styles P, Lloyd Banks, Westside Gunn, IDK, and OX OMNI provide some solid performances that build chemistry on the record. That’s thanks to some killer producers on here as well, including Havoc, 9th Wonder, The Alchemist, Conductor Williams, and many more. Sock It 2 My Pocket is no-frills and consistent, and shows Rome’s artistry in a more varied way than before.
