1

Key! and Kenny Beats, "Demolition 1+2"

Kenny Beats helped Key! unlock his best self on this standout from their excellent new project.

2

BlocBoy JB, "No Chorus Pt. 11"

I gotta believe that BlocBoy has some special mic-headset contraption that allows him to dance and record at the same time.

3

SOB X RBE (Yhung T.O), "Leave The Hood"

T.O comes through with that AllBlack flow and cinematic new visual.

4

Slim Jxmmi, "Changed Up"

Jxmmi's portion of SR3MM is full of bangers but, on "Changed Up," he slows down the pace and gets introspective.

5

Yung Baby Tate, "Bob"

"Can I build with you" headass.

6

Oz Sparx f. Zahsosaa "Can't Change"

Two of Philly's most promising talents link up. This song is good. This song is also good.

7

Lioness f. Queenie, Stush, Shystie, Lady Leshurr & Little Simz, "DBT Remix"

Something about dissonant sirens makes British people want to rap their asses off.

8

Tracy, "Like A Farmer"

I love country music.

9

OMB Peezy, "Soulja Life Mentality"

The Alabama native reworks a Soulja Slim classic for the 2k18.

10

Lil Sheik, "Can't Stop Me"

Outside of SOB X RBE's core four, Lil Sheik is probably the strongest artist of the collective and definitely picks some of the very best beats.
