TOP 10 SONGS

10. Spectacular Diagnostics – Tommy Snort (Ft. Westside Gunn & Conway The Machine)

Buffalo is preparing for a Bills playoff run, but while “Tommy Snort” by Spectacular Diagnostics, Westside Gunn, and Conway The Machine captures a gritty, street vibe with dark, aggressive verses, it’s far from a family-friendly pregame anthem.

9. Memphis Bleek – 3 Kings (Ft. Benny The Butcher & Smoke DZA)

Memphis Bleek, once Jay-Z’s protégé and a name synonymous with early 2000s hip-hop, made a strong comeback with “3 Kings,” a gritty, street-inspired track featuring Benny The Butcher and Smoke DZA, blending sharp punchlines, Brooklyn pride, and Griselda-esque production into an unexpected banger.

8. Krept & Konan – Low Vibrations

Krept & Konan, the trailblazing UK hip-hop duo, continues to dominate with their latest single, “Low Vibrations,” an infectious hip-hop/R&B track promoting positive energy and serving as the sixth release from their highly anticipated album Young Kingz II, dropping February 7th.

7. EST Gee – My Love (Ft. Veeze & Rylo Rodriguez)

After a quiet 2024, EST Gee could be gearing up for a major comeback in 2025, hinted at by his latest collaboration, “My Love,” featuring Rylo Rodriguez and Veeze—a smooth, laidback track where streetwise verses and mumbly flows dominate, with Veeze stealing the spotlight.

6. Rod Wave – Westside Connection

Rod Wave kicked off 2025 with the heartfelt single “Westside Connection,” where he delivers angelic, emotionally raw vocals as he reflects on betrayal, longing, and the struggles of maintaining a connection amidst his demanding tour life—a powerful follow-up to Last Lap.

5. Daylyt – Hiyu

Daylyt steps into the battle with subtle disses aimed at Joey Bada$$ in his track “Hiyu,” blending clever jabs with a laidback flow over a soulful beat, while maintaining an underdog confidence and setting the stage for more heat to come.

4. Ray Vaughn – Crashout Heritage

Ray Vaughn responds to Joey Bada$$’ diss towards the west coast with his own fiery track, “Crashout Heritage,” where he takes aim at Tory Lanez, Mal, and Joey himself, delivering an aggressive flow over Kendrick Lamar’s “heart pt. 6” beat and setting the stage for an intense rap battle.

3. Mac Miller – 5 Dollar Pony Rides

Mac Miller’s “5 Dollar Pony Rides” is a smooth, introspective track filled with jazzy beats, funky basslines, and psychedelic echoes, showcasing his ability to evoke deep emotions through his effortlessly intimate vocals and leaving listeners eagerly anticipating the album’s release.

2. Lil Baby – My Shawty

The standout tracks on WHAM are undoubtedly the ones dedicated to women, and the deluxe edition’s best track continues that trend. “My Shawty” is a masterfully crafted song featuring an elegant beat with just enough punch to grab the attention of the killers. Lil Baby delivers an exceptional verse, leaning into a gentle rap style that perfectly complements the heartfelt lyrics about the strong connection he shares with a woman who values the simple things in life. All in all, this track is an instant download for me.

1. Teddy Swims – Are You Even Real

Teddy Swims and Giveon’s collaboration on “Are You Even Real” is an upbeat, catchy hit that perfectly blends their distinct vocal styles, exploring the surreal feeling of being captivated by someone, and leaving listeners excited for Swims’ upcoming album, I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy (Part 2).
