Welcome back to #GRMFreshestOut, the one-stop place for the best tunes of the week. Griff has rounded up the 5 best songs from across the pond, and as always it’s a diverse playlist you don’t want to miss out on. Check in and check out. #GRMFreshestOut
A$AP Rocky – L$D
The A$AP Mob captain is back in #GRMFreshestOut for the second week running, with yet another stellar release. ‘A.L.L.A.’ is fast becoming one of the most hotly anticipated releases of the year, and this new track “L.$.D.” just geared things up even further. Featuring an incredibly trippy visual, Rocky experiments with a new style we haven’t heard from the Harlem MC before, with the first half of the track being completely sung. By the time the bars kick in during the second half, we were already won over.
Snoop Dogg ft. Stevie Wonder & Pharrell – California Roll
Some of the biggest legends, not just in Hip-Hop, but in music generally, collaborate for this funky track. Taken from Snoop’s new album ‘Bush’, the video sees Snoop, Stevie and Skateboard P ride around the desert in an alternate future/past.
Boosie Badazz ft. Keyshia Cole & J. Cole – Black Heaven
Since his release from incarceration, Lil Boosie’s buzz hasn’t been quite what it used to. However, with his new release “Black Heaven”, he goes a hell of a way to building that back up. An introspective and deep track, he links up with Keyshia Cole for a killer hook and J. Cole for a few additional bars.
Tyga – Hollywood N*ggaz
Tyga is a character in Hip-Hop, who as of right now, probably isn’t having the best time. His relationship with Kylie Jenner – which is admittedly a bit leave it – has brought him a barrage of negative press and has taken away from his much-delayed forthcoming new project ‘The Gold Album’. He lets the music do the talking on his new record, which addresses much of the criticism. Plus, this beat is an utter madness!
Post Malone ft. 1st – What’s Up
Post Malone is a dude who we’ve featured on this column before, who’s tipped for massive things in the future. His new tune is 3 quarters R&B, with a pinch of rap and the end results are amazing. “What’s Up” is a late-night bedroom banger, with an infectiously smoky melody.
