Tired of Thanksgiving dinner table topics? Immerse yourself in the wave of new music! There are hundreds of songs being released every week, but who has the time to listen to them all? I do! As a hip-hop fanatic, I scour through music released every day to supplement my need for good music. I tend to like music with a good beat but other factors are taken into account. Here are my top 6 Hip-Hop songs out right now!
"Patient" - Post Malone
Release Date: November 18, 2016
Album: Stoney
Producer: N/A
Getting ready to debut his album Stoney, Post Malone proves that he isn't just a one-hit wonder. "Patient" has an infectious beat with a smooth hook that lets Malone's fans know that he's done being patient. "Stoney" will be here December 9th, and will feature Justin Bieber, 2 Chainz, Kehlani, and Quavo.
"Sidewalks" - The Weeknd ft. Kendrick Lamar
Release Date: November 25, 2016
Album: Starboy
Producer: McKinney • Bobby Raps • Muhammad
Canadian superstar, The Weeknd, just released his 3rd studio album Starboy. A song like "Sidewalks" showcases The Weeknd's talents with the genius of Kendrick Lamar. I am not a huge Kendrick fan but I can surely understand why he is one of the best rappers alive. The Weeknd said working with K-Dot was like working with a "genius" and his commitment shows on this track.
"Redbone" - Childish Gambino
Release Date: November 17, 2016
Album: : Awaken, My Love!
Producer: Vinylz • Ludwig Göransson
Childish Gambino has been relatively quiet since his last project Kauai, which he released in 2014. He has since been busy with many movies and TV roles, especially with his hit television show "Atlanta". Gambino seems to be experimenting with his music on this album as there isn't any rapping thus far. Surprisingly, I ain't mad. "Redbone" has a smooth flow to it that puts a smile on my face and I don't even know why. This song is a must listen.
"Good Drank" - 2 Chainz
Release Date: November 18, 2016
Album: : Hibachi For Lunch
Producer: Mike Dean
What in the world? I like a 2 Chainz song? Even more surprising is that the majority of his mixtape Hibachi For Lunch was banging. Everyone needs to turn up to this mixtape because I never liked this many songs on a project much less from 2 Chainz. I liked every song except "Countin."
"Milestone" - Smoke DZA & Pete Rock ft. Jadakiss, Styles P, and BJ The Chicago Kid
Release Date: November 10, 2016
Album: : Don't Smoke Rock
Producer: Pete Rock
"Milestone" is just a smooth track with a old school vibe that I am a sucker for. BJ The Chicago Kid on the hook is probably what sold me. Have a listen to this gem and see if you feel the same way.
"Wrote My Way Out" - Nas, Dave East, Lin-Manuel Miranda & Aloe Blacc
Release Date: November 17, 2016
Album: : The Hamilton Mixtape
Producer: !llmind
Just wow. "Wrote My Way Out" is really a masterpiece if you ask me. It incorporates new sounds into track that is inspiring to just listen to. Nas killed his verse as usual and Lin-Manuel Miranda came out of nowhere! The Hamilton Mixtape was a project that was started in 2009 by Lin-Manuel Miranda which evolved into the Broadway musical Hamilton. "The Hamilton Mixtape" and expected to release on December 2, 2016.
