If you’re a fan of rap music, you’ve probably heard of some of the latest releases. Whether it was Drake’s ‘Mood’ or Lil Jon’s ‘Extra,’ or the collaborative work between Future and Drake, it is impossible to not listen to the latest hip hop. There are many other artists who have also released music this year.
Drake’s ‘Mood’
Drake’s new album, ‘Mood’, is full of emotional lyrics that will tug at your heartstrings. His debut studio album explores themes of unrequited love and heartbreak, while synths and drums add a little pop. Drake has been hailed as one of the most sentimental rappers of our generation.
This is a great thing, but it is also a big problem. Drake’s success has made him too big to experiment. He has enough money to blow it all, but now he has to find that spark to make himself memorable. Luckily, Drake’s fans are more than willing to support him despite the lack of creativity.
Drake has been a big star since his up-and-coming days, and he has proven it time again. His music has helped cement his place in hip hop history. He has released five albums and a song to fit any mood imaginable.
Lil Jon’s ‘Extra’
Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz became legends in Atlanta around the turn of the century. The charismatic rapper is known for shouting catch phrases that became synonymous with an over-the-top party mindset. As a solo artist and guest collaborator, Lil Jon was a crucial figure in the development of hip hop. His aggressive and brash style propelled his music to chart status.
The 75-minute CD also features three skits starring comedian Chris Rock. In one of them, the comedian instructs a woman to get as low as an ant’s stomach. The album also contains a remix CD, which features Eminem and Ma$e.
Fly Anakin’s ‘Telepathic’ with Big Kahuna OG
Fly Anakin has dropped a new single called “Telepathic,” featuring Big Kahuna OG. The song is currently available across all streaming platforms. The infectious song is sure to catch listeners’ attention. Listen to “Telepathic” below.
“Telepathic” showcases Fly Anakin’s talent as a lyricist and rhymesmith. The smooth, soulful production and clever rhymes help make the song stand out on the album. “Love Song (Come Back”) is a smooth track that carries the album’s themes. It uses a mellow soul sample to describe the pain of losing a loved one, and offers the perfect foundation for the album’s themes.
Common’s ‘Extra’
The title track from Common’s new album “Extra” is an ode to the actress Taraji P. Henson, who has been in a relationship with the rapper since 2010. The song was produced by Kanye West and was written by Common. The album was produced by the same producer who worked on Common’s previous album. Both albums feature Common’s signature rangy influence, tremendous vision, and s***-ton of talent. The anthem aims to show that ordinary people can be made extraordinary.
