Identity – Album by Dina Ayada

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 05:50:00 +0000

Belgian-raised Moroccan artist Dina Ayada officially steps into a new chapter with the release of her debut album IDENTITY. After spending the past year working closely with Gunna, who executive produced the album, Ayada delivers a 12-track cohesive body of work that blends polished pop-rap energy with confident, self-assured storytelling. The project showcases Ayada’s ability to balance accessibility with personality, weaving melodic hooks with sharp delivery and global influence. Her perspective feels fresh without feeling forced, allowing her individuality to remain front and center throughout the tracklist. Rather than chasing trends, IDENTITY leans into consistency and tone, presenting an artist who understands her lane and executes with intention.

Gunna’s executive guidance brings a sleek, modern polish to the album while still allowing Ayada to establish her own voice. He also appears as the only feature on the project, via the track “no rush.”

No Trespassing – Song by A$AP Rocky

Alexander Cole — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 05:32:12 +0000

A$AP Rocky’s Don’t Be Dumb is currently one of the biggest events of the year. It was released at midnight, and fans are still filing in to listen to some of these new tracks. One of them is “No Trespassing,” which is a song that Rocky seemingly handles on his own. Once again, it sounds like Rocky is rapping as confidently as ever on this new album. The beats are off the wall, and one has to wonder if this is resonating with the masses right now. After all, we expected Rocky to take some risks since it’s been a while since his last album. Whatever the case may be, we’re having fun.

Quotable Lyrics from No Trespassing

N**** talkin’ reckless, must be out his mind

WYD – Song by PlaqueBoyMax featuring Bryson Tiller

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 16 Jan 2026 05:25:00 +0000

Rising creator-turned-artist PlaqueBoyMax links with R&B heavyweight Bryson Tiller on new track “wyd” It’s a melodic late-night record built around longing, emotional distance, and complicated connection. PlaqueBoyMax sets the tone on the chorus, singing about missing someone who’s out of town, craving their voice, and struggling to fully open up due to mixed signals and emotional games.

The record leans heavily into vulnerability, with repetitive hooks and soft melodies that feel intentionally intimate rather than polished for radio. Bryson Tiller’s presence adds emotional weight and familiarity, reinforcing the track’s moody, after-hours atmosphere. “wyd” feels like a modern late-text conversation turned into a soundtrack.

Release Date: January 16, 2026
Genre: Hip-Hop / R&B
Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics

I can never love you how I really should
We ain’t really texting, hope you doing well
Send me pictures mail, I rеally miss your face

Detroit staple Veeze kicks off 2026 with “One Of Them Ones,” a high-profile collaboration featuring Lil Baby and Rylo Rodriguez.

The track arrives alongside a music video filmed largely aboard a private jet, with appearances from Playboi Carti, Lil Dann, and CED, adding to the sense of occasion. The record blends Veeze’s laid-back vibe with Baby’s polish and Rylo’s gritty realism, creating a confident, chemistry-driven moment.
