The Listening: Jack Harlow and Doja Cat, J.T., Moneybagg Yo and More
This week’s new music Friday also means new music from Wale, No ID and Saba and more.
Spring is finally here and just as the weather warms up, new music is here to provide the perfect soundtrack to your spring break.
Jack Harlow teams up with Doja Cat for the playful “Just Us,” and with “Blanco,” Wale makes a soulful return, as J.T. of the City GIrls delivers her first solo banger of 2025 with “Ran Out.”
The cross-generational collaboration album from No ID and Saba is a high watermark for both artists, and the eclectic Flying Lotus drops the score for his ambitious sci-fi project ASH.
Kevin Gates does not disappoint on his latest, I’m Him 2; and four years after his last full release, Premrock makes a welcome return with Did You Enjoy Your Time Here?
Each week, Okayplayer will deliver a roundup of all the latest new heat from some of our favorite artists. Check out the latest offerings below.NEW SONGS
JACK HARLOW WITH DOJA CAT, “JUST US”
On the heels of “Tranquility” and “Set You Free,” Harlow pairs up with Doja Cat. Two of the biggest artists in music join forces for this coy, upbeat track.
FARRAH FAWX AND RAECOLA “ACAPULCO!”
The multifaceted rapper/songwriter teams up with the infectious house duo out of Chicago (by way of L.A.) for one of the spring’s surefire dancefloor smashes.
SHORELINE MAFIA, “BACK IN BIDNESS”
The California upstarts don’t miss. Produced by Diego Ave, the West Coast crew’s latest single has an appropriate title.
WALE, “BLANCO”
Very few rhymers can communicate angst better than the veteran MC out of Washington, D.C. He gets back to what he does best on this soulful track.
MONEYBAGG YO, “CLOSE THE DOOR”
Following up last year’s Speak Now project, The Memphis product is back like he never left with a pulsing trap anthem.
JT, ‘RAN OUT’
The City GIrl comes out blazing on this solo single, going full-on diva with this bad bitch anthem that’s perfect for the warmer months.
JASTIN MARTIN WITH TIMBALAND, “YOU OR NOBODY”
The Houston, Texas-born trap-soul starlet teams up with the legendary superproducer for a percolating new single.
NEW ALBUMS
No ID AND SABA, ‘From The Private Collection of No ID and Saba’
Two of Chicago’s best deliver a project that proves rap’s generation gap is sometimes hype. The laid-back, introspective vibes make this one of the year’s most rewarding releases so far.
FLYING LOTUS ‘ASH’ (Original Motion Picture Sdtk)
The official soundtrack for Flying Lotus’ sci-fi horror film is just as appropriately eerie as the movie’s subject matter. Beautifully creepy score.
KEVIN GATES, ‘I’m Him 2’ Mixtape
Hip-hop’s most idiosyncratic hustler opens himself up on his latest. The Baton Rouge-repping veteran shows his range — and his vulnerability.
MALI, ‘G-Code’ EP
Trap heavyweights like icons Future and 21 Savage — alongside next-wave stars like Lil Baby and Sexxy Redd — show up for the Florida native’s second studio album.
B.U.G. ANTMAN, ‘Yall Ugly’ EP
His ambition and work ethic are both clear signs of where he’s going. And on this EP, B.U.G. delivers outside-the-box trap vibes from one of Atlanta’s brightest new voices.
GOYA GUMBANI, ‘Warlord of the Weejuns’
The ex-pat immersed himself in London’s music scene, and the results are impressive. A varied and genre-bending project that shows he has no shortage of ideas.
PREMROCK, ‘Did You Enjoy Your Time Here?’
Four years since Load Bearing Crow’s Feet, the New York rhymer returns with a collection of songs that highlight his growth and everyman perspective.
PARTYOF2, 'We Owe You an Explanation'
Their new EP tells you they've got something to explain, but PARTYOF2's latest requires no explanation. Just good tunes from dope artists.
