Zahsosaa, "Humble"
This joyful-as-hell song from the teenage Philly rapper sounds a like a potential smash. At the 2:10 mark, Zahsosaa and all his friends sing the track's refrain while hanging out the door of a Sprinter van; it's the most euphoric scene I've watched in a rap video in a long time. — Ben
Hatchie, "Bad Guy"
When is Gia Coppola making another movie? This song has the kind of tormented pop vibe that would fit perfectly as the soundtrack to a teenage girl riding her bike while crying or whatever. — Olivia
Cherrie, "Det Slår Mig Ibland"
When Cherrie said "Den jag är nu, den jag ville bli," I felt that! — David
Bladee, "Nike Just Do It"
The Swedish innovator's new album Red Light is incredible and incredibly bleak. Lyric from 2018 I wish I didn't think about as much is this one: "Heard you say you wanna die, so do I / Just do it like Nike, eat the night." — Duncan
Desiigner, "Tonka"
Desiigner insists he doesn't wanna get married again. I don't know anything about his marital status but this is a good song. — Rawiya
Dawn Richard x Mumdance, "Guardian Angel"
Please sign my petition to have Amazon bring back Mozart In The Jungle with Mumdance in the Gael García Bernal role. — David
Aja, "Brujería"
One of my fav queens from RuPaul's Drag Race is Brooklyn's banjie-anime-witch Aja. On her debut rap EP, In My Feelings, she raps confidently over clubby beats, especially on the intense "Brujería." — Myles
Mason Ramsey, “Famous” - 16 songs you’re sleeping on right now
The artist formerly known as Yodel Boy made the fastest-ever transition from viral video star to legitimate singer with this country-pop banger. Please give my lil’ woke cowboy a chance! — Rawiya
