Scroll through selections from this week’s sequence of the best songs below and subscribe to Okayplayer’s Spotify channel today. Kaos The Baker featuring Pink Siifu - "Burden of The Divine" Extending a year-long hot-streak, Charlotte's Kaos The Baker links with Pink Siifu for a cerebral string-laden one-off. Fatlip and Blu - "Gangsta Rap" Los Angeles underground rap vet Fatlip resurfaces with Blu on a glimmering slow-crackling soul loop provided by Madlib. Fly Anakin - "No Dough" Madlib supplies a sleek and sultry up-tempo groove for Fly Anakin's latest single, announcing the Richmond rapper's debut album, Frank, which is out on March 11th via Lex Records. Ivan Ave - "Gear" Ivan Ave signals a new project may be on the horizon with a warbled and warm new single produced by Sasac. Ivy Sole - "Call Me" Ivy Sole resurfaces with a shifty earworming single, which arrives by way of a visual with all the trimmings of early 2000s rap and r&b grails. Big K.R.I.T - "So Cool" Fresh off an appearance on Robert Glasper's sobering new single, Big K.R.I.T comes through with a smooth-as-hell self-produced transmission, paired with a very dapper visual accompaniment. Guapdad 4000 - "I Need Bands" Scam rap sultan Guapdad 4000 slips into the new year with a new twist on an LL Cool J classic.
