Shout out to 2025 for giving us one of the best years in hip hop I can remember. There are some years where you’re like, “man… what is good that’s new?” But this year? Whoa… The summer alone was crazy… but it’s not stopping either… i’m hype so i want yall hype! Here are some new hip hop tracks I’ve been listening to and adding to my Spotify Playlists recently.
Let’s start right out the gate with Seafood Sam on his new one with Huey Briss called “Gold Teeth Smile” which… how do I say this… HOW DOES THIS ONLY HAVE 492 VIEWS ON YOUTUBE!??!? Okay… let’s change that… go listen and watch this one right now.
Are you still sleeping on Fashawn? You are… I know it.. Well stop fam… Here’s “Guillotine” with lovely drunken master style sonics brought to you by Sir Veterano. This is the first single… this is crazy… don’t sleep… everything about this is on point.
wait… we got a new Big L and Nas song? Wait…. WE GOT A NEW BIG L AND NAS SONG?!??!? How great does this sound? Here is “u aint gotta chance” which fam… wow… Big L has been gone for like 20 years and this just comes out… HE HAS A NEW ALBUM COMING OUT???? Whoa…. Whoa… Whoa… this is too dope.
Did you hear this new “Super Nintendo” joint from ALC and a Armand Hammer? ALC is a force and his wave is probably the craziest wave in hip hop history outside of the Weezy mixtape run and the No Limit and Cash Money album drops run. The Alchemist is just serving dope with an easily 1 million customers served type ish…
and then we got Hit-Boy and ALC back at it with Havoc in the mix? “Celebration Moments” is really good… No other way to describe it… it’s really good.
I love Do or Die… I love Twista… Chance is a dope emcee… All 3 of these Chi-town legends on a track with each other? Yeah… I’m here for it… Without a doubt! This vibe on “Ride Remix” tho????
How about that new Jay Worthy tho??? With Spice 1 and Bun B on that “Jive 95” type of feels… This sounds too dope… This is a track to simply mash out to.
That Richie Rich album though? You catch that? “Wires and Vogues” is an impeccable vibe… am I right?
The Earl Sweatshirt album isn’t a hip hop album… it transcends genres and brings hip hop to a new light… this is just dope. It makes me want to make music and I’ve never even made music… what does it make you feel? is this rap? is it hip hop? who cares… it’s dope and it’s earl.
“Taj Mahal” sounds like a track that got buried alive back in 2004 and now they dug it up and released it… Mobb Deep album is too dope. This is crazy.
Still sleeping on “Skyscrapers” from Odessa Kane and Pep Love over production by Yams? Go peep the visuals on this…. Shout out San Diego…
Need some raps to make you feel human and be grounded with your surroundings? Murs has done his damn thing for 30 years and he dropped his last album a few months ago… go watch this video and tell me you don’t feel something… all you is 4 walls, your wife, and your kids.
Bruiser Wolf is on a crazy run right now… and now he’s dropping whole projects with Harry Fraud??? Yo… I’m here for this… you should be too… nobody has had this rapping style before… Bruiser is a real one.
Rap is good… What are you bumping? What are you feeling here? You ready for that Nas and DJ Premier album later this year? You into the new Evidence album? This track and these visuals???? Whoa.
