Craig Xen – Stain Ft. Ski Mask The Slumpgod & Smokepurpp
When it comes to today’s aggressive style of modern rap no one does it better than Craig Xen, Ski Mask The Slump God, or Smokepurpp. There were snippets of this song, without Xen, that made it around social media originally titled “Low At My Wrist.” The Stain and DJ Patt produced song was never released until recently as Xen added a verse and put it out as his most recent single titled, “Stain.”

I Set My Friends On Fire – Don’t Take Me For Pomegranate ft. Lil Lotus
While Vans Warped Tour may be over, the music that was broken on the road by the bands that hailed supreme on MySpace continues on. Founded in 2007 in Miami, FL I Set My Friends On Fire has spent the past ten years combining aggressive metalcore with electronic music. Their latest release comes as a Lil Lotus assisted single titled “Don’t Take Me For Pomegranate” that will take you on a dynamic journey from laid-back trap to riot inciting metal.
Lil Tjay – Leaked
It seemed like only yesterday the exploding Bronx rapper Lil Tjay uploaded “None of Your Love“ on his SoundCloud page and it’s now sitting at 3.1 million plays. Continuing with the hot streak that he has been on over this summer, the young rapper has released his latest single titled “Leaked.” With the city of New York beginning to get behind him at an alarming rate, it’s only a matter of time until Tjay’s music makes its way across the country.
Derez De’Shon – Beat The Odds Ft. YFN Lucci
After his breakout hit single “Hardaway” earlier this year, Derex De’Shon has established himself as a staple in the ever-flourishing Atlanta rap scene. Linking up with ATL superstar YFN Lucci, De’Shon’s latest single “Beat The Odds” finds him reminiscing the trials and tribulations he has faced on his journey to success. While the song has been putting up impressive numbers on streaming platforms since it’s initial release, the emerging rapper has released a new Motion Family-directed visual that will without a doubt give the song more life.
