Here it is, our weekly rundown of the best of our Top 20.
Please keep in mind this list was culled from the top of our charts, so more popular artists are more likely to be represented. For a look at under-the-radar tracks, check out Underrated Audio.
This week was taken over by Big Sean and the City of Atlanta. The top of our chart's features a number of tracks from the Detroit native and the spots he didn't take were filled with the old and new guard of Atlanta.
Big Sean - Me, Myself & I
There's no denying it, the week belonged to Big Sean. His latest album Dark Sky Paradise netted two tracks at the top of our charts and several glowing recommendations from HNHH.
That's why we went with a track that wasn't on his latest, just in case you're all DSP-ed out.
"Me, Myself and I" is a monster of a freestyle over what Sean claims is one of his favorite Beyonce songs. The track is full of quotables including the especially relevant bit about "leaks" and a great line about Saturday morning cartoon mainstay Underdog. There's a little bit of the spark that made Childish Gambino such a cult favorite in this new and improved Sean.
That's not to say "Me, Myself & I" is perfect. Sean co-opt's an "I'm reading this off a notepad" flow toward the end, the likes of which haven't been heard since Diamond's verse in "Knuck If You Buck." Still, if this freestyle from Sean didn't convince you to shell out the cash for his latest, you're probably dead set on stealing it anyway.
Iamsu! & Tyga - Hella Good
Can we all just admit that Tyga is never the best part of any Tyga song? That's the only reason moves like Fan of A Fan: The Album make sense. The man owes his career to being around other people making great, catchy tunes. "Rack City" is nothing without DJ Mustard's star-making beat and "Hella Good" wouldn't work without an excellent hook from Iamsu!
The song has an excellent, semi-faded vibe courtesy of the aformentioned hook and a beat (also produced by Iamsu!) that sounds like A Link to The Past if the Dark World had a trap.
It's worth noting that Gwen Stefani and the rest of No Doubt were in no way involved with this track, though I'd be the first signature on any petition they come up with to replace Tyga.
T.I. & Young Thug - Off-Set
This track is hype in song form. If it wasn't so grimy, we could see it slotting in nicely with the loading screen music from the next Madden.
T.I. and Thugga don't say a whole lot on "Off-Set" but they deliver their non-message in such a hyperactive way that it doesn't matter. Which we guess is fitting, since it comes from a Fast & Furious movie soundtrack.
In the coming weeks, you should fully expect to hear this hook coming from that one dude riding his bike with headphones in that doesn't give a damn if he's in public.
Wiz Khalifa - Decisions
Wiz has previously surprised us by getting weird and "Decisions" sounds like it's heading in the experimental direction with it's distorted vocals and sonar beeps.
Unfortunately, that only lasts for about 15 seconds. After that, Khalifa abruptly shifts into a song that sounds like it was passed over by Miley Cyrus (she may be #edgy, but she still can't say the n-word).
The result is more of the disappointing same from the Taylor Gang leader. Guys, did you know Wiz likes weed?
Migos - Mr. Miyagi
Finally!
Migos have been dropping dud after dud in the lead up to Y.R.N.: The Album but this track comparing their own work in the kitchen to the famous master from the Karate Kid movies.
The beat is produced by (who else?) Zaytoven and Cassius Jay and finds the triplet-loving ATLiens in a form we haven't really seen since Rich Nigga Timeline.
Bobby Shmurda ft. French Montana - Right Now
Collaborating with French Montana certainly wasn't Bobby's first mistake, but it's not doing anything to help his career that hangs precariously in the balance.
If the GS9 member has Tupac-level pre-incarceration vaults of unreleased songs, let's hope they're better than this French Montana collab. Anyone have any idea what the name of this song is?
Gucci Mane ft. Young Thug & Young Gleesh - Bitter
Speaking of vaults, Gucci Mane has a new release full of who-knows-how-old tracks simply to capitalize on the Drake hype that has reached a fever pitch.
"Bitter" is a definite standout from Radric's Views From Zone 6.
