From Earl Sweatshirt to Pink Sweat$- 6 Songs You Need to Hear this Week

Each week we compose a list of newly released songs that we think you should hear. Here are some of the best releases you may have missed this week! Don’t forget who put you on

Earl Sweatshirt – Nowhere2go

Earl Sweatshirt is back with a single of his very own, “Nowhere2go”! Yes, you read that first sentence correctly, he’s back. After Sweatshirt’s last album, I Don’t Like Shit; I Don’t Go Outside, was released in 2015. Since then he’s only appeared on a few tracks on other artist projects but nothing of his very own. This track is huge for Earl Sweatshirt fans who have been anxiously waiting for new content from the rapper. “Nowhwere2go” is produced by Adé Hakim Sayyad (fka Sixpress) and is straight fire as expected.

Memorable Lyrics:

“Every ni**a that’s trippin’ around me serve as a reminder that
I gotta watch my step
I keep it quiet as kept (Ayy, ayy)”

Smino ft. Rayvn Lenae – MF GROOVE

Smino released his sophomore album NØIR on Friday, November 8 and MF GROOVE is one of my favorite tracks. The track is so sonically pleasing; I had to close my eyes to experience the record in full. Smino and R&B singer Rayvn Lenae has this euphoric connection through ‘MF GROOVE’ that is heaven sent. When Rayvn Lenae hits the ‘here, we are ‘adlib at the beginning of verse one it will give you chills. This track is a prime example of something you never knew you needed until you have it.

Memorable Lyrics:

“Think I done caught my groove again; I found the one (Two, three)
There’s a leak in the roof, aw damn, rain on my fun (Fun)
Dripping down to my shoes, I slip, the puddles growin’
My mama said, if I used my gift, then I’ll be fine
If not, it’s gone, and once it’s gone”

cupcakKe- PetSmart

Underrated, female MC, cupcakKe, goes bar for bar in ‘PetSmart’ which is off of her album Eden, out now. cupcakKe is known for her raw, eltricyfing enerygy and ‘Petsmart’ is an embodiment of her persona. In this hard song, cupcakKe calls for men to get their b*tches in line! She isn’t worried about the next female because they’re all bark and no bite but still, get your girl together!

Memorable Lyrics:

Now I got you tied up like an unfaithful spouse
Put the cash in the bag, I don’t got time to count
’Cause you know this bitch called the cops (Cops)
Flavor Flav, she got clocked (Clock)
Up her head, ’cause she an opp
Seeing if she still alive like Pac, ayy

Pink Sweat$- Honesty

Pink Sweat$ is the actual embodiment of R&B. As an up- and- coming artist he makes a damn good impression with the acoustics and beautiful vocals on this track. All though there are no drums or build up like most R&B songs out now, it creates a pure body of music. If you haven’t tapped into the amazing vocalist Pink Sweat$ here’s your opportunity, he just released his debut EP called Volume 1. I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Memorable Lyrics:

“She said, “Baby, I’m afraid to fall in love
Cause what if it’s not reciprocated?”
I told her, “Don’t rush girl, don’t you rush
Guess it’s all a game of patience.”

Vince Staples ft Ty Dolla $ign-Feels Like Summer

Norfside Long Beach, Vince Staples, is here with a bop that feels a lot like The Dove Shack’s ” Summertime in the LBC” mixed with Spice 1’s ” Strap on the Side”. This is a feel-good record that I wish was a bit longer. Nonetheless Staples and Ty Dolla $ign arguably made one of the best openers for a rap album this year.

Memorable Lyrics:

“Ayy, summertime in the LB
Know it ain’t shit a broke nigga gon’ tell me now
Drop top with the top down now
All the bad bitches gon’ feel me now, ayy

Trey Songz X Dave East- Rotation

Trigga is back in our hearts with this certfied club banger! This past week, Trey Songz dropped off his long awaited double project,11/28. In ‘Rotation’ Trey Songz lets the ladies know he has time for each and every one of them, as long as you’re willing to be put in rotation. Dave East joins Trey on the track delivering aggresively sexy bars perfectly in tuned with the song. We havent heard Trey Songz music match so perfectly with another artist’s since Drake. We want more Trey Songz and Dave East collabs! This was the perfect R&b thug song.

Memorable Lyrics:

The only way we showin’ up is if you sent that payment
Keep calling me, in love with R&B, we fucked to Trey shit
We the ones that they talk about, it’s so hard not to mention us
Too lazy for a room, fucked in my Benz, I had to tint it up
