The African Giant Burna Boy links with Chicago’s GOAT Polo G for a heartfelt series of flexes on “Want It All.” Kali Uchis and SZA remix a Sin Miedo standout, completely in Spanish and full of silky tones. In addition to dropping one of the five must-hear albums of the last week, Detroit heavyweight Icewear Vezzo soundtracked my weekend with his grimey Future collab, “Everyday.”
Tap into the playlist below to discover the best of the week on Audiomack, and find your new song of the year. And now, for some highlights…
- For my bubbling rock heads, we’ve got a new Soccer Mommy single. “rom com 2021” feels like the anthem for the extremely online lover who’d “rather die in your arms” than let someone go.
- As I’m getting married in a few days, I’ve acquired a taste for jam bands. Rikas’ “Party on the Rooftop” grooves and twists beneath some nihilistic writing, and is definitely being added to my cocktail hour playlist.
- There’s a lot to love about Zack Fox. The BNYX-produced “fafo” is another entry in the dystopian hilarity of Fox’s universe. Frightening diamonds, nauseous pockets, and Iron Giant-tall cash stacks give this one life. “Fuck around and find out!”
- One of 10 rappers you should know right now, Bronx drill artist Kay Flock delivers some of the hardest bars of the year on “Is Ya Ready.” Break something to this music, but don’t say Audiomack told you to.
- Mahalia and AJ Tracey connect for “Roadside,” which is a longing R&B ballad accented by Tracey’s wordplay. Production from The Elements underscores how hurt Mahalia sounds as she questions why anyone would play her.
