Nottz set the table for Rapsody, Rah Digga, Nikki Grier, and Ke Turner to collaborate and make an excellent song in tribute to black women across the globe. It's off The Future is Female project that I assume will be releasing sometime soon


Nas and Jay came together for this DJ Khaled track Sorry Not Sorry. The song is a vibe and another reason why these legends still deserve their flowers




Alchemist dropped an EP called This Thing of Ours. 8 tracks. 4 with rappers on them and 4 without. He adds another solid offering under his belt with features from Earl Sweatshirt, Boldy James, Navy Blue, Sideshow (dope up and coming MC under Alc's wing. fun fact: he went to my high school:ahh:) Pink Siifu and Maxo






One of the overlooked rappers of the Blog Era, XV dropped a new EP called Roots. He dropped 2 other EPs in the last two weeks named Soil and Seeds. It's looking like he's back from his hiatus and here to stay



Morray, an artist who utilizes soulful melodies with conviction, dropped his Street Sermons album. I haven't heard the whole thing yet but these songs stood out from what I did hear. He's someone making major waves in the mainstream that has authentic music you can feel




Ross collabs with singer Cruel Youth for the Godfather of Harlem TV series soundtrack. The track is short but it's really good for what it is



Feel free to post other songs and projects if there's any other notable releases that came out today

And anyone who's not in this mention list but wants to be, let me know and I'll add you to it

Let's get it
:blessed:


That XV three pack is fire. Felt made a dope song as well, and I'm playing catch up on everything else
