Not only did Eminem release a surprise new album today that includes three songs featuring longtime associate Royce Da 5’9″, Royce debuted a new single off his upcoming album The Allegory which features Westside Gunn of the Shady Records-signed Griselda crew and takes shots at former Shady artist Yelawolf. The Allegory drops next week, and it also features Em, all three Griselda members, G Perico, YBN Cordae, and more.

THUNDERCAT – “BLACK QUALLS” (ft. STEVE LACY & STEVE ARRINGTON)

DVSN – “A MUSE”

Drake-affiliated R&B duo dvsn are back with a characteristically melancholic new jam.

Fresh off releasing recent single “Price Went Up,” genre-defying artist NNAMDÏ (fka Nnamdi Ogbonnaya) has announced a new album, BRAT (due April 3 via his own Sooper Records), and released another new single, “WASTED.” This one kinda finds him in James Blake/Frank Ocean territory, but he really makes it his own.

OBONGJAYAR – “GOD’S OWN CHILDREN”

Nigerian artist Obongjayar has shared another song off his upcoming EP Which Way Is Forward?, and it’s a real head-trip of a song and impossible to pigeonhole.

POP SMOKE – “CHRISTOPHER WALKING”

Fast-rising New York drill rapper Pop Smoke dominated last summer with “Welcome to the Party,” and now he’s back with another very party-ready song, “Christopher Walking.”

070 SHAKE – MODUS VIVENDI

070 Shake has been on the rise for a while, since signing to G.O.O.D. Music and frequently collaborating with Kanye, and now her official debut album is finally here.
